    Ironically, the Sims 3 was my first sims game; I liked it so much that a few months later, I tried Sims 2… and that was the last time I ever played Sims 3 😂

    • @bibipixels
      @bibipixels  7 месяцев назад +3

      lol omg... I suppose many ppl started with ts3 so it's no wonder that's their fav. I started out with the original the sims so when ts2 came out it felt like a MASSIVE improvement that still had that original charm and craziness.

      @@bibipixels I was actually born the same year the first game came out, so I never played it-not until very recently. But I can imagine how insane an upgrade TS2 must have been. Just wow.
      Sims 3 is… fine? Like, it’s not *bad* and it’s got some cool mechanics like open world and story progression, but it lost the charm Sims 2 has. I can’t really explain why or how, it just did. It feels blah in comparison.

    oh yeah i have a few sims 4 conversions like that where parts don't play well together, i got the same kitchen set here and the sink drives me nuts, half the time they seem to go to the bathroom to wash dishes there rather than use it...and some other ones where counters and cabinets are not sized right so they have gaps between them. love the makeover, it suits them so well! now i have to go on a cc spree. i didn't much like sims 3 either, especially since it takes control away from me lmao, i like that i can control everything in sims 2, sims 4 is even worse, no control over the looks of the town, lots, or stopping it from spawning those horrid townies. I liked gardening and wine making in the sims 3 tho, but the sun and moon winemaking mod for sims 2 is great, i love winemaking as another business for the Monty family. I love the bedrooms in this makeover so much, they look so warm and inviting, the pink and teal was my fave it's so cute.

    Jill's room is my favourite room in the house! They are from Family Fun Stuff if I'm not mistaken. And Johnny wants to rock up in a sports car; he loves sports too. Love the music touch in Johnny's room. He does have that hobby in FreeTime. The guest room looks like that Chole or Lola would sleep in if they were visiting their dad, stepmum/half sister and niece and nephew/half siblings. (I know, the Smith/Curious family tree is messed up!) Oh, the cake's for Johnny, BTW.
    Here's what I did for the Smith Family. Poll and Jenny couldn't conceive a third child, so they ended up adopting a teenager instead: a townie named River Smith. River was shocked to be in a clan of aliens, but because he was showered in kindness, River thrived in his new home. He hopes to be a gamer someday, and quickly befriended his new brother and sister.
    Johnny and later River ended up going to college [basically, I played the scripted event, aged Johnny down again, and then sent him off to University]. Johnny hopes to become a champion soccer star, and he's still together with Ophelia. River also ended up with the townie April Zhang from Garden Heights. (Sims Pet Stories neighbourhood)
    Young Jill is aspiring to be a deep sea welder and is working closely with Angela Pleasant, who dreams of becoming a fishing boat captain. Jill is also dating Buck Grunt, who are deeply bonded over their love for animals.

    • @bibipixels
      @bibipixels  7 месяцев назад

      Omg your Smith family story is so wholesome. ❤️ And I definitely think Chloe and Lola would use the guest room while visiting, that's kind of why I invited them to cameo during the ending scenes.

    • @bibipixels
      @bibipixels  7 месяцев назад

      Family Fun Stuff, thanks for pointing that out! I wish ts2 would show which pack objects came from, just like ts4 does with the icons, it would be helpful. I didn't know anything about Jill and her room was mostly empty so reading her bio gave me the inspo for her room decor.

    Loveli build as always!! & I agree with your comment about how not everything needs to be a professional money making scheme. I lost enjoyment for illustrating and abandoned it for a while because i felt pressure to monetize it after i started an art account in highschool that ended up having a bit of a following. But i'm slowly getting back into drawing and painting again after removing that expectation. Im thinking of it how i did as a kid. I dont need to do it for a practical purpose or with some end goal in mind. I can just draw for the love of drawing.

    • @bibipixels

      A bit late to this comment, but as an artist I can relate! My insta was decently big at a certain point and I was selling prints and getting commissions... which was amazing and I am grateful for those days! 🧡 but it kind of sucks the soul out of things when you're expected to be a social media influencer/manager first rather than just a person sharing their craft/hobby.

  • @xcrackingvoices
    @xcrackingvoices 7 месяцев назад +1

    Both the birthday cake and the buffet table are there for Johnny by the way. The prescripted Maxis event when you start this family is to "throw a birthday party" since Johnny is one day away from becoming an adult :)

    I play both TS2 and TS3, I find that TS3 works really well to put your sims in there and cause chaos around town. 😈 But for a more life-sim / grow your neighbourhood type gameplay, better stick to TS2. A lot of the features that are really important to TS2 players are lost in TS3.

  • @lasthaven7

    It is funny--you mentioned comments about people saying you inspired them to get back into Sims 2. I wish that was me, but each time I try to get the Sims 2 running, it runs like a nightmare and I always end up with corruption no matter how much maintenance I do. Still, it's so fun to see videos of people getting to enjoy their games, even if it does leave me jealous and longing to play Veronaville again. Sigh.

    • @bibipixels
      @bibipixels  7 месяцев назад +1

      It does run like a nightmare on new PCs, unfortunately. :< I bought a new gaming laptop that's got perfect specs and runs new games with ultra graphics with no issues, but ts2 still does what it does. (random crashes, pink flashing) It's just not optimized for new machines and the fixes are only partially helpful at best. It's 20 years old, after all... :(

    My first Sims game was Sims 1 on console, and then Sims 2 (and its many offshoots ) on console. But I played Sims 2 first on PC, and despite leaving TS2 for years to play TS3 in the early 10s, my Sims hiatus has only drawn me closer to Sims 2 since picking it back up in 2022. I love it so much. Your videos are such a joy to watch, thank you for uploading

      I play on a Lenovo LOQ Series gaming laptop. It's really good and I can play brand new games at ultra settings, but the sims 2 is of course 20 years old and struggles on new systems. I suggest looking up osab's The Sims 2 Setup Guide specifically for their graphic's setup instructions. I am not sure if all of the fixes apply to Mac computers. Personally, I don't use reshade, I just set my game to the highest possible resolution, max settings on everything + I use dreadpirate's maxis match lighting mod.
