One weird thing I always found in Belladonna Cove is that sims are much more likely to flirt with each other than in other neighbourhoods. For example, if Samantha and Gabriel are in the welcome wagon they probably end up falling in love with each other.
Still even with some Maxis oversight, the sims 2 is master piece in story telling. Wish they would try harder with the sims 4 :(. Anyways great video! ❤️
Isabelle Baldwin is actually extremely lazy, so it makes sense that she is unemployed, although is having potential to go big in a career. Plus her husband is either turned off by unemployed or turned on by hardworking Sims, don't remember which one exactly. But it is a great potential for drama. As for Timothy Riley, I think he left the job after his wife died due to electrical shortcut on the job. But you could see in the family photos him training Vivian on his career reward. Plus he often rolls a want to get a job, which makes me think that is willing to go back into medicine to look after Vivian. Enjoyed your take on Belladonna cove so much! Would love to see you make a video about facts of the town.
i think scripted events are like "tutorials" or "introduction" u know.. like introduction to alien, burglar, cheating, etc. that's why the expansion packs don't have them bc they figured you're already familiar with the game.
Yes, they were tutorials to introduce players to new game mechanics. That's why I think they would have worked great in the expansion pack 'hoods to introduce the new features of each pack (hobbies, magic, seasons).
I love the trailer park! I tend to place it in Pleasantview opposite Brandi’s place. I’m not too keen on Belladonna Cove but think it suits Pleasantview well! (I have to have apartments in that hood because I love apartment gameplay generally in TS2 and it’s my favourite neighbourhood!)
Cindy! After playing the Sims 2 Apple store version for years I finally got my hands on a working PC where I could redownload my Ultimate Collection from Origin. I'm soooo happy to finally have hobbies and apartments again as well as a game that runs beautifully! Your mod list and sims 2 rules are so helpful, I feel like in my 15+ years of playing Sims I finally have a play style that doesn't ever get boring. Thanks so much! You do wonders for the sims community
@@erosennin2162 My first and middle name is Samantha Kimberly. The Cordial sister's names are Samantha and Kimberly. So I was just super excited when I saw my name as a kid playing the Sims 2 and I still get super excited over it 😅
And then there’s me who’s a twin who got excited cause my sisters name is Kimberly and they truly remind me of us with personality 😂. (Kimberly and Kristen, me). Your coincidence is wayyy cooler though haha
“Belladonna Cove is the worst neighbourhood-“ I was about to pop off before I heard the rest of the sentence😂 It’s probably my favourite hood but had never thought of it as being broken. Hugely helpful as always, this series is so good!
The weird thing is that I swear one time when I was younger I played this world and I started with old man Contender - the athlete - and I got a pop up as if for a scripted event like with the base game worlds... it was something about him wanting to retire but still wanting to have fun and flirt it up with the ladies... idk LOL. I've never gotten it since though.
@@beclovesrandomstuff Yeah! I think I did, but I haven't played with them since I reinstalled my game. I think many families start out with a little message in this hood. Gonna have to check on that one :D
ahh i was waiting for this one !! belladonna cove is probably my favorite alongside pleasantview, i absolutely adore it, i love the districts and city vibes,, probably the best sims 2 hood visually
I played the Cordials girls the most in Belladonna Cove, they remind me of Pleasant girls and that house i love it!!!!!!!!! Yes, Maxis did so many mistakes but Belladonna Cove is also different from the rest of neighborhoods, the stories, the houses' design everything is better, next level i would say :))
Honestly I love your insight. I didn’t have this since I was so young playing it when it was first a thing (when apartment life came out) I don’t use mods because of the abandonware version I have but I like how you play I’m thinking about adding in the rotational style into my gameplay as well as the fertility rule you have (one of my sims tried 9 times and still wouldn’t get pregnant so I had to use tombstone of L&D to get her pregnant but now it gives sims a reason to adopt AND adds more bloodlines into the neighborhood) love your videos!
Thank you! That's the reason I play this way - so SOME of my Sims can adopt besides just same-sex couples. It doesn't happen super often, but when it does, it's very good for the story!
I kinda like the fact Carlos is a popularity sim since I feel like he would be the type of guy to never miss a party and be everyone's friend and the women (or men) just came as an extra to his lifestyle.
Belladonna Cove is the neighbourhood I've been playing non stop for months now, almost all the original sims are dead or dying now. I've had to move almost all the sim bin families in to the neighbourhood so I have enough people to marry into the families. But my god, so much corruption, I wish I had known about clean templates when I started it. I finish so interesting that I didn't even think about the job/skills matching but for me Timothy and Isabelle both rolled the wants to join the careers you matched them with. It really was meant to be!
I’ve played the sims 2 for a decade now and you still manage to teach me new things LOL Also, with the sim blender, after you give the sim the career you want them to have, if you click the blender and go to careers again then you’ll have the option to set the level. :)
The things i hate the most about witches in the sims 2 is the skin change, the name change, and that damn outfit 🤣 if it wasnt for mods to remove those i wouldnt play with the magick system
Ooh interesting about Jason Cleveland’s gender preferences! I have never really looked into it with my sims, and Marissa always ends up having an affair with another woman! 😬
I've been informed. Thank you!! Either way works! :)
4 года назад+38
My favorite Belladonna Cove family was always the Cordial Sisters, I don't know why, but I always started playing with these girls, because I really like turning them into witches, and I love witches, haha😄 And I like too, to make them in a romantic relationship with her witches friends.
Belladonna also means beautiful woman (i think because of Bella Goth) but belladonna is also a mistical and magical plant that was used by witches. Also is useful for medical purposes.
I’ve officially watched all of the play orders and I’m in love so I want more lol. Please do the other additional neighborhoods!! I’ve played sims 2 since I was 8 years old, I’m now 23 and still play everyday but never knew there was a set play order!! So interesting.
My absolute favourite neighbourhood! It’s probably the most fun neighbourhood to play because there are so many possibilities and gameplay routes to take, not to mention the drama! Though it can get a bit exhausting because I end up with a lot of families very soon haha.
The funniest thing about the Cordial sisters is that every time I’ve ever played in Belladonna Cove, Samantha has always been the nastiest sim to others and Kimberly has always been friendly, and I don’t know why that is 😂
Omg how did I not think of pairing Jason with Geoff?? The opportunity was staring right at my face! Tho I guess I never noticed because they are brothers in law so it would be a bit weird if they got together haha. That and I like to pair up Geoff with either Chastity, since he has three bolts with her and they compliment each other, or Connor because he -Connor-usually ends up bi in my game (courtesy of the gender preference randomizer) and surprisingly has good chemistry with Geoff. But Geoff, being the romance sim he is, just doesn’t know what commitment is lmao.
For me Jason rolled the want to flirt with Geoff but he could only do a 'family kiss' so I was very sad! I think probably corruption or something :( But now Geoff has 15 children so he didn't miss out 😂
Last round Geoff had his first kiss w/ a random tourist(?)sim named Angel who thank goodness was a romance sim too, Connor has his eyes on their maid so far:)
I had fun playing this! I got a pc got Xmas in 2008 and just had this expansion -I loved pairing Jessica with Carlos Contender in the mansion, it was like Dina and Mortimer all over again!
I know this is an old video but you calling Marissa Jason's "beard" made me choke with laughter oh my gosh I appreciate these videos bc I love playing Sims 2 hoods in recommended play orders when I'm playing with pre-made families, even if only the base game hoods have scripted events (which kind of sucks bc I love those)
Wow I was playing with muito Male sim at a bar and he ended up having chemistry with Jason Cleveland, and they went on a date and he ended up moving in without me even knowing he had a family, so cool to find out he actually was kind unhappy on his marriage
I think I mentioned on a previous one of these videos that I’m so uninterested in any of the expansion pack hoods due to the lack of scripted events and ‘half-assery’, but I love how you find stories even from the smallest details! I still won’t play anything but base game or my own hoods but I’d be interested to see you play them! 😂
Wow, I'm having a blast in watching how you play the sims2 (I've watched other ones too!). You put so much of story and sims personality/background in the gameplay LOVE IT. Back when I played the sims, I'm afraid to play the townies cuz I don't want to ruin them hahaha
In my game, Chastity broke Gabriel Green's heart. He get comforted by the Samantha and marry her. Then I marry Kimberly to Armand instead. So she will be the evil stepmother to Tara. (And I love that 😂)
Another great video Cindy! I’ve been loving this series. I really have never played another neighborhood seriously besides pleasantview, so I’m inspired to play the others now using your rotation suggestions :) thanks for all your hard work and I am so excited for strangetown Saturday tomorrow!😍🎉👽
Thanks to your videos with guides to play each of the towns I came back to playing Sims 2 🥺 You literally brought back my nostalgia to this game and I hope you keep on doing these videos! Stay awesome 💖💞💗💓💞💖💘💝💕
Woohoo! I've been so excited for this video! I always loved playing the Cordial sisters - I'd make them witches too, and they even have that room with the secret bookcase door that I would always put their cauldrons and witchy stuff in. I loved to play them as if they were trying to hide their abilities, and thus using the secret room! Such a fun household 😆😆
Just found your channel and I’m loving this series! Dang I miss the wants/fears system so much. I just switched from TS4 to TS3 and it’s made me so happy. And now these videos are making me wanna play TS2 again ! In the meantime I’ll live vicariously thru your videos.
it's actually crazy to see this neighborhood because when I played Sims 2 I only had about 4 expansion packs and I never saw this one. so surreal seeing more official sims 2 families!
Belladonna cove is the only expansion neighborhood that I played with, mostly because of the builds. I hate all the builds in Riverblossom Hills and Desiderada Valley so couple that with half-assery in the sim department and I was like 'whatever, I'll just build my own neighborhood' after one round with the families, but the urban atmosphere in Belladonna cove was so well done that it did draw me in to get to know the families. I think it's my favorite after Plesantview, it has a really good balance of drama and wholesomeness.
Belladonna Cove's Maxis half-assery shows so hard... the things that really stand out to me are the glitchy bits in the family trees and the personalities that are just one astrological pre-set paired with a different sign. There's also a very noticeable error in the Clevelands' family bio, where they call Marissa "Martha."
hope you see this: i’m binging your play orders and am absolutely obsessed. such a throwback. every spare moment i wasn’t studying today i was watching. love your accent, so different from the australian i hear all day. can i ask where it is from? apologies if it has already been answered. keep up the good work & doing you!! 💕
Thank you so much! My accent is a mixture of American Southern and Midwest. I was born in the south and lived there for 30 years before moving to the midwest. 💙💙
i’m working my way through Riverblossom Hills right now but I still enjoy watching the Play Order videos for the other hoods for some reason I just love the stories in the Sims 2
If you have ACR and look at his sim tokens he has no attraction to women, I discovered that while doing my setup day with them because I was curious if that was his actual preference, it is and I think that’s pretty cool!
I don’t understand how she gets them to flirt with each other while Jason is still married to Marissa. It won’t let me cause they’re considered family so the only option is “family kiss”.
Because of yours and Plumbella’s videos I found sims 2 online and played again ❤️❤️❤️ I remember being in 6th grade counting down the seconds all day for my dad to pick me up so he could take me to target and I’d use my allowance money to buy the sims 2 the day it came out!!!!!! :) Been a simmer since The Sims and I never would’ve thought how amazing the sims 2 would be in 2020. I was so excited for the sims 3 and 4 but I can’t even play the sims 3 anymore because it ALWAYS lags and crashes. And sims 4 is only good for graphics and build mode. So glad to be playing Sims 2 and look forward to binging your sims 2 videos!!!!!
I kinda find it funny that theirs so chemistry and yet no babies are made in this it's kinda insane but I guess babies are like baking or cooking sometimes you just can't get that bun in the oven
Thanks for this! I've made Belladonna Cove a sub-hood of Pleasantview and so far have moved Armand & Tara DeBateau into the Stylish Setup house (comes with Kitchen & Bathroom Stuff); he's with Kimberly but him and Dina currently like each other! I'm finding it works so well :D
After watching your Desiderata Valley video, I wanted to play that neighbourhood again! However when I loaded the neighbourhood for the first time in this install, the bin families weren't there? Do you know if this would have something to do with my mods--I have both clean templates and stealth neighbourhoods installed--or anything else? I always get the urge to play neighbourhoods after you've talked about them, but I'm reluctant to open any of the other neighbourhoods in case this happens again.
I use this method to add the bin families to each 'hood while still maintaining my clean templates and keeping stealth 'hoods disabled: meetmetotheriver.tumblr.com/post/176385212773/have-you-ever-used-the-clean-and-empty-stealth
One weird thing I always found in Belladonna Cove is that sims are much more likely to flirt with each other than in other neighbourhoods. For example, if Samantha and Gabriel are in the welcome wagon they probably end up falling in love with each other.
It did feel like there was a LOT more flirting than usual without mods. Strange! I wonder if that's on purpose...
Pleasant Sims since Beladonna Cove is based on NYC, that may be a hint to Sex and the city series...
@@gr1lled_cheesethat may be why the twin sisters are named Samantha & Kimberly since Kim Catrall plays Samantha on SATC.
Still even with some Maxis oversight, the sims 2 is master piece in story telling. Wish they would try harder with the sims 4 :(.
Anyways great video! ❤️
I agree completely! Sims 4 has lost it's soul, unfortunately.
@@PleasantSims Did it have one?
That’s why I’m giving the sims 4 “scripted avents”
Damn, fresh sims 2 content in 2020. I love it
Thank you for watching Le Monk! 💙 💙

Nice video Cindy! I also noticed Isabel really looks like Circe beaker!
She really does! Lol. I didn't notice it until you pointed it out either!
I personally love the Cho-Riley family when it comes to this town.
I love the urban feel of Belladonna!
So do I! It's fun to feel like your Sims are in an actual city!

i love this series so much, it made me pick up sims 2 again
I'm so happy to hear it, Jes! Have fun with TS2! It is the BEST!
Belladonna Cove is the neighbourhood I've been playing non stop for months now, almost all the original sims are dead or dying now. I've had to move almost all the sim bin families in to the neighbourhood so I have enough people to marry into the families.

I finish so interesting that I didn't even think about the job/skills matching but for me Timothy and Isabelle both rolled the wants to join the careers you matched them with. It really was meant to be!
I know the feeling! I did the same thing with my original PV by not using clean templates.
I’ve played the sims 2 for a decade now and you still manage to teach me new things LOL Also, with the sim blender, after you give the sim the career you want them to have, if you click the blender and go to careers again then you’ll have the option to set the level. :)

hope you see this: i’m binging your play orders and am absolutely obsessed. such a throwback. every spare moment i wasn’t studying today i was watching. love your accent, so different from the australian i hear all day. can i ask where it is from? apologies if it has already been answered.
keep up the good work & doing you!! 💕
Thank you so much! My accent is a mixture of American Southern and Midwest. I was born in the south and lived there for 30 years before moving to the midwest. 💙💙
Yes! I love this play in order series so much! I wonder if Blue Water Village (the shopping district) has any scripted or play in order 🤔?
You come up with the best twists and turns! Thanks again for your wonderful tips!
Thank you Mary!! 💙💙
I’m so early! I’m really enjoying these play order videos 😍
Thank you for watching Nuhaa! 💙 💙 I'm glad you're enjoying them!
Something else that’s cute (if anyone has seen Buffy) is that after making the guy a warlock, they could also make tara a witch ;)
OMG I just seen that you hit over 11 thousand subscribers!!! Congratulations! You definitely deserve it 💗
Thank you so much!!
I love this kind of video!! Please show us all the secrets of the neighborhoods in an extra video. 😊 you make such great content!
Thank you Mela! I've got a lot more coming! :)
Really loving these play order videos ! Thanks so much Cindy for putting such detail into these videos :)
Thank you so much for watching! 💙
i’m working my way through Riverblossom Hills right now but I still enjoy watching the Play Order videos for the other hoods for some reason I just love the stories in the Sims 2
i didnt know Jason Cleveland is gay but i always play the family the way youre playing 😂
In my game, he's getting an affair with his hot neighbor. When he died, his male lover get his inheritance as his "friend". It broke my heart.
If you have ACR and look at his sim tokens he has no attraction to women, I discovered that while doing my setup day with them because I was curious if that was his actual preference, it is and I think that’s pretty cool!
I don’t understand how she gets them to flirt with each other while Jason is still married to Marissa. It won’t let me cause they’re considered family so the only option is “family kiss”.
@@alyssapersinger5911 If it's a clean template, maybe they unflagged that.
i love the apartment feature so much it doesn’t bother me that the story isn’t that strong bc i mainly play my own sims here anyways
I would love to watch your take on Bluewater Village, Downtown, and all the University campuses :)
Because of yours and Plumbella’s videos I found sims 2 online and played again ❤️❤️❤️ I remember being in 6th grade counting down the seconds all day for my dad to pick me up so he could take me to target and I’d use my allowance money to buy the sims 2 the day it came out!!!!!! :) Been a simmer since The Sims and I never would’ve thought how amazing the sims 2 would be in 2020. I was so excited for the sims 3 and 4 but I can’t even play the sims 3 anymore because it ALWAYS lags and crashes. And sims 4 is only good for graphics and build mode. So glad to be playing Sims 2 and look forward to binging your sims 2 videos!!!!!
This used to always be my favourite neighbourhood back when I just started playing sims 2! now not so much anymore
It's no Pleasantview, but I still really like it! 💙
I'd love to see a video about the secrets and gossip about Belladonna Cove that you mentioned!
Will you be doing Bluewater Village as well?
Possibly!
Thanks for this! Your channel is growing so much. I love it!
Me too!! Thanks for watching, sophie! 💙💙
i love u so much. from the bottom of my heart, thank u thank u thank u for these videos. they literally make me so happy
Aww! Thanks so much for watching, fluffy! 💙
You can change the job level on the sim blender as well.
Lauri
your laugh is so infectious! i find myself laughing along whenever you laugh too lmao
I really love all these videos, Cindy! ❤️
Thank you! So glad you like them! 💙
Sims 2 is the superior sims game and there's no room to debate
Cindy, could we please get a Bluewater Village one?
I kinda find it funny that theirs so chemistry and yet no babies are made in this it's kinda insane but I guess babies are like baking or cooking sometimes you just can't get that bun in the oven
Thanks for this! I've made Belladonna Cove a sub-hood of Pleasantview and so far have moved Armand & Tara DeBateau into the Stylish Setup house (comes with Kitchen & Bathroom Stuff); he's with Kimberly but him and Dina currently like each other! I'm finding it works so well :D
After watching your Desiderata Valley video, I wanted to play that neighbourhood again! However when I loaded the neighbourhood for the first time in this install, the bin families weren't there? Do you know if this would have something to do with my mods--I have both clean templates and stealth neighbourhoods installed--or anything else? I always get the urge to play neighbourhoods after you've talked about them, but I'm reluctant to open any of the other neighbourhoods in case this happens again.
I use this method to add the bin families to each 'hood while still maintaining my clean templates and keeping stealth 'hoods disabled: meetmetotheriver.tumblr.com/post/176385212773/have-you-ever-used-the-clean-and-empty-stealth
@@PleasantSims thank you!!
These videos are fab, needed something like this for ages!!! Xx
Glad you like them! Thank you for watching! 💙
This is one of my favorite hoods!
you know what would be dope? doing this with a couple of the sims 3 neighborhoods :))))
Great video as usual Cindy! Great how your able to spice the hoods up using the bios!
Yay! I loved this! A video on witches would be so much fun :)
Love this series, good work! x
Thank you for watching Chelsea Lang! 💙 💙
