I re-did this video and improved it by... 12 hours. I don't want to get into the dozen of things that were wrong with the old upload but boy do I feel glad it's been replaced now.. Moreover, playing this game was a real treat. Aside from the obvious differences between Sims 1 and Sims 2, perhaps the biggest gameplay change is the ability to move your character with the joystick! This is an absolute game changer as it made the gameplay feel very engaging. Metaverse-like almost lol. This video covers the entire story mode (+ bonus chapters). The story mode consists of several areas which you must visit and complete objectives at for both your sim and the other sims. You don't need to get married and have children in this game, although there's a marriage objective for another sim during the HMS Amore chapter. The game however does want you to get the best job position in the career you've chosen so you'll have to work on raising your skills once again. Overall, the difficulty proves to be really easy compared to Sims 1. There's absolutely no need to exploit certain mechanics to get the upper hand (i.e. drinking massive amounts of espresso rather than going to bed or electrocuting yourself to wake yourself up). Not only will you find out that being able to control your character with the joystick is far more efficient, you'll also quickly discover that Sims aren't as needy in this version. You can go a few days without socializing. You can go one day eating just a snack for breakfast. You can abruptly pull your SIms out of bed without them getting angry and frustrated. Did you hate making friends in the Sims games? Well that's gotten a lot easier now too. I just don't really have anything bad to say about this game. The only thing that perhaps bothered me was not being able to copy a floor tile or wallpaper in the "build menu". If you were to add an extra room to your house you'd have to carefully go through the dozen pages of wallpapers to find the one that matches the rest of the building rather than being able to "sample" something like in the PC games.... you see how minor that is? Other than that I'd say the game is quite perfect. It's obviously not as expansive as Sims 3 and 4, but that's not the point. I guess the best part of all this is that the console version doesn't replace the PC version nor vice versa. They're both unique in their own way. Whilst this was a really fun experience to play through, I'd likely never touch it again.. whereas the PC version is one you can easily sink hundreds of hours in because it focuses a lot more on customization and creativity. Ofcourse the console version also has a free play mode, but the things that the PC mode is known to be good at are precisely the things that don't work as well when playing with a joystick. Lastly.. the bonus chapters in this game aren't very exciting. None of these have any objectives for your main sim and for that reason it just feels like a waste of time because you don't get to use these sims anywhere else in the game. The worst bonus chapter being The Orbit Room, where I spent nearly two hours trying to get this sim his skills up and helping him acquire the best job position in his career, only to then move onto the next chapter and never see him again.
I loved that this game let you actually run around as the sim. Made me feel so much more immersed growing up. Took me about a year after getting the game to get a memory card big enough to store it on though so I always had to leave my gamecube on or my save would restart.
The amount of days I'd fake sick to stay home from school to play this game .. agh, take me back! This is the youtube video we all needed❤ I'll be watching all 9 hours and 52 minutes of this! 🙌
At the four hour mark-I’ve never gotten that far in the game I’ve never been in the alien crash site. Thanks so much for the video I’m enjoying it as well as your other videos of the games I’ve played
My best friend used to stream games like the sims for me at night "diffrient time zones" Sadly we glided apart 'n this vid just brings so much comfort as i'm dozing off at night. Thank you for sharing your gameplay
My childhood... I always played it. My eyes are shiny 🥺. The sims 4 is definitely better for the graphics and for various details, but for the game mode I prefer the sims 2, you can control the character as you want without having to use that sort of mouse, you have achievements, unlock objects. In the sims 4 it's all monotonous.
I'm guessing you're gonna do all of the Sims Games. Because There are already and you're replacing it to The GameCube Version and I can respect what you're doing But I know there is a Longplay of it already.
For me i feel like for all the sins that the sims 4 team has done, all they'd have to do is release the phones from this game and the burglars, and put that paramore song on a retro station and I'd forgive and forget. 😂
Same could be said about the Sims:Urbz in the city, I highly prefer the GBA version of the game rather the one from GCN, too bad they never made a re-make for PC :(
I remember playing this and actually thinking my life would turn out this way. Use to use the magic gnome cheat for unlimited money.😂😢 OH HOW I WAS WRONG. REALITY.
guys i know this is strange, i was playing this "The Sims 2" back then i'm really enjoying it.. but i'm confused, still confused even now.. and the question is, so is there a 2 type of different The Sims 2 with the same title, or THIS The Sims 2 that got "story and quest type" are different than the sims 2 that freeplay like where you can build home and have kids even aging.. because i've only seen video on The sims 2 freeplay but never actually play it. so please if anyone can answer this weird question can let me know. Thanks PS. sry if my english horrible :D

You are the best
Thank you so so much for uploading this!! It's very much filling my heart with happiness and nostalgia (o:
The nostalgia hit me hard.. paramore song on radio 😁
Same...when I hear the song it gets me grining ear to ear XD. And some of the menu songs as well

This game brings back a lot of memories, especially the co-op, was fun with a friend now and then
Every few years I get an urge to play this game again. Definitely the best Sims game ever made.
My best friend used to stream games like the sims for me at night "diffrient time zones" Sadly we glided apart 'n this vid just brings so much comfort as i'm dozing off at night. Thank you for sharing your gameplay
I played this on my GameCube with my sister on co-op we had so much fun
Yes finally a full 8-11 hr gameplay wit tha right game & konsole .
This game was my childhood. ❤️🔥
Me too ♡
Oh man, I stumbled across this...and I forgot all about the opening. This is the best.
This brings back so many memories for me. I wanted a gamecube just so my best friend and I could play this. We had tons of fun.
omg thankyou, i've been searching for this kinda long play of the Sims 2 for months.
absolutely love it✅
Bring me back to the good days!!!
So nostalgic this was my life when I was younger ❤️
I played this game on PS2 when I was little,this reminds me of my childhood
I don't remember the intro being like this in pc
I love the Sims franchise. 💚
I remember playing this on my playstation 2

Nostalgia overload with this one. This was the first Sims game I ever played.
I just bought this one and the first one for my ps2! The original games are top tier.
I wish I could play this again ! I was soo young when I used to play it on ps2, I never passed the yacht !
Sims, urbz sims in the city, sims bustin out, n this one r my all time favorite sims games. Makes me feel like a teenager again
Mane I miss this I’m buying a ps2 again soon this definitely one of the games I’m getting
In childhood it is a different experience but yeah nostalgia should hit hard sometimes
@@fatiht8863 right
I played some the sims games but this was my favorite, literally the game of my childhood.
The sim's portrait moving with the particular interaction they're doing is actually horrifying 😂
Loved this game as a kid
Loved this game 💯
Fond memories I used to play that game on my PS 2
@0:12 The Opening Part, that The Gamer Got In a catfight.
Good old days, good old days 😢
I was like 9 or 10, i miss those days, simpler times, better times...
I was at the final place and just need one more promotion for my science career! Then someone over-wrote my game... WAH!°°
I can’t wait to replay this game myself soon ♡
Maan. My Brother and I played tf outta this on PS2😮💨😂❤🔥
Watching this on my GameCube.
Really make me happy this gaame for my entertain💞💞💞😭I miss u the sims ( aku main ps2 ) suka buat rumah juga
I loved this growing up 😊
I'm guessing you're gonna do all of the Sims Games.
Because There are already and you're replacing it to
The GameCube Version and I can respect what you're doing
But I know there is a Longplay of it already.
It’s just The Urbz and Sims 2 Pets left that need replacing fortunately
For me i feel like for all the sins that the sims 4 team has done, all they'd have to do is release the phones from this game and the burglars, and put that paramore song on a retro station and I'd forgive and forget. 😂
Buying a GameCube just for this
Thanks for this!
Thanks for this❤
Wish the sims 4 was like this. This game was my favourite in the series
I miss this game when I still had a ps2, and now my ps2 is broken🥲🥲🥹🥹
I use to play this game for hours ❤❤❤❤❤
I want a GameCube again just for this game 😢
Can they remaster all the old sim games for PS5 and Xbox! I would buy it in a heart beat!!
Omggg nostalgia! 🥰🥰🥰
That weird & unusual pool behind the duplex. It’s a surf pool.
Cétais cool dans le temps lol sa rappel des souvenirs
Does someone know Why I cant find the gastronomy career?:( Iam looking since hours and wether the paper or the Computer shows me the culinary job
The Gameboy Advance version of the Sims 2 is way better. What I don't understand is they're both the same title, but they have different gameplay.
Same could be said about the Sims:Urbz in the city, I highly prefer the GBA version of the game rather the one from GCN, too bad they never made a re-make for PC :(
@@franciscoignaciopetrone5679 the gba urbz is awesome! I liked gba bustin out too lol
Que linda nostalgia 😢
I never got the chance to play. This version came out when I was 10.
Omfg. I’m crying.
My favorite game
When this came I was 8 was 4K to me lol
Sims 2 is the best one I think
This game was best on playstation portable in opinion it was so fun
I remember playing this and actually thinking my life would turn out this way. Use to use the magic gnome cheat for unlimited money.😂😢 OH HOW I WAS WRONG. REALITY.
Need it bringing back on ps5 and the sims busting out, urbz and the sims

I Never Play Sims 2 Console :/
Is it different from the pc ver?
Yes pc you have mods….
So little bit more creative space.
Console you had none sadly.
Would’ve been cool if there was mods on console like PlayStation.
