    Gotta do some more clarifications again:
    - Sims 4 do have split screens in the console games, but the games will always use 4-player splitscreen regardless of the player's number.
    - I'm gonna admit I got the "messy eating" wrong because you can eat messily as a slob sim in Sims 3 (not Sims 4 glutton eating, it's different than sloppy/slob)
    - EDIT: Also admitting about the barista bar tending to be wrong because Sims 4 sims can tend on barista bar if there's no one tending, though they won't be paid hourly like in the video
    - Yes, some of the features here are also in The Sims 1, but this video is titled "Sims 2 Details not in *Sims 3 and 4* ", remember?
    - Some of you said toddlers can throw up as well when you play with them in Sims 3, but I can't seem to reproduce them in the game after doing it several times. Can you tell how do you do it?

      Toddlers can throw up in The Sims 3? Never seen it either.
      Though the last one does remind me that sims in The Sims 4 can tend barista bars (from Get Together expansion pack) if there's no barista tending it. It's an easily forgettable feature (since not often you get a chance to tend a barista bar unless you put it in other places).

      @Carmn07 4 года назад +97

      xyz_ The reason why I said sims 2-3 was better than sims 4 was because sims 4 does have very good graphics but the gameplay tends to get boring. And the sims 4 has a loading screen for almost everything. I wish the sims 4 was open world like the sims 3, and had more details.
      Also I was very pissed with the college expansion pack for the sims 4, the expansion pack trailer makes it look like you can do a lot. But in reality there’s only like 3 buildings you can actually go to (depending what college you pick)
      In sims 3 you had a backpack every time you went to classes, and on top of that you can actually see your sims in classes, and you can make them do stuff like take notes, nap..etc. You’re also in an actual dorm room that has two floors, and you can chose a frat house or sorority house. ALSO SIMS 3 HAD FLIPPING CARSSS!! There’s so much stuff that the sims 3 had that sims 4 doesn’t. Like this doesn’t even scratch the surface of how much stuff sims 3 has, like bruh.

    These little details are the reasons why Sims 2 felt more like a "Sims" game than Sims 4. I like the new features and all don't get me wrong, however Sims 4 seems like it was a spinoff.
    They added emotion system yet it felt hollow. Perhaps it was just the lack of "realism" that makes it off.

      The issue is that The Sims 4 was rushed and changed midway through. The Sims 4 was originally going to be an online game similar to The Sims Online, but was changed to a singleplayer game midway through development. So what we got was a lackluster Sims game at release. Also, that’s the reason why everything is instanced and they did away with the open world (easier for a potentially online game). My hope is that EA moves on from the Sims 4 and just starts development on The Sims 5 and make it a singleplayer experience from the ground up. Go back to just using expansion packs and stuff packs and fill them with content worth buying (this likely won’t happen) and build off everything that made The Sims 2 and 3 good. Also, bring back the weird Sims 2 style Maxis humor (without Will Wright, that’s unlikely to happen). Sims 4 just feels so un-Sims like with all the real world and meme references.

    Also, in sims 2, every sim records the eye and hair color that they inherit from both mom and dad. They use only one for themselves, but the other is stored as 'recessive'. When that sim eventually procreates with another sim, either the dominant or the recessive gene will be used for any resulting baby. Thus, a sim might get hair and eye color from a grandparent, even though neither mommy, nor daddy shows that color.
    For example: John has black hair, but a recessive red gene. Jane has blond hair, and also a recessive red gene. When their baby Tina is born, the game takes one hair color from mom, and one from dad. Dad's black hair has a bigger chance to show up, because it *is* dominant, but little Tina might still end up blonde or ginger. But whatever color she gets for herself, Tina will also carry the color that she got from the other parent.
    whereas in sims 3 and 4 there are no such thing as dominant and recessive genes. Plus, they can't inherits their ancestors features unlike sims 2.

      Because it came off the back of Sims 1 and it was still being made by Maxis. They put in a lot more care and attention to detail before they released it and they took the same care with their expansions. That all changed when EA took over; all the care went out the window, they just threw their packs together, got them out onto the shelves and couldn't care less if they didn't work. Their final S2 pack - Apartment Life - was bugged to the hilt. They didn't fix it, there were no patches released, they didn't care about it; Sims 3 was about to get released and all they cared about was how much money they were going to make from that. It was modders that fixed Apartment Life, EA had nothing to do with it - they released it broken and washed their hands of it. They did the same with Island Paradise for Sims 3; Sims 4 was on the horizon and they weren't going to spend anything fixing their broken product. They'll do the same with the final S4 packs. Actually, from what I hear, they've been doing it already.

      Actually sims 3’s base game is quite whole unless you just want a pack to have it, sunset valley is a beautiful town, the townies are great and have good stories, They careers are great and get more interactive, the lots are also amazing and all of the little things you can do.
      But the thing is sims 2 does get bland without any packs if you play it all day every day, because you want apartments and plantsims and college. But the packs are all terribly over priced I like the game but in my own opinion take away all of sims 3 bugs and compare the games with all packs and without sims 3 is better 🤷‍♀️

    Romantic and dining interactions were so varied in sims 2! Also I miss the cut scenes, they made it so cinematic.

Sitting in a friend circle was one of the things I missed trying out.

    When Sims die, other Sims will react according to their relationship with that sim: if they didn't like them, they will laugh while grim reaps their soul. Also Sims can plead for their loved one and have a chance of winning them back!
    Also at a Sims grave, they will mourn accordingly to their relationship with that sim: some include: crying, shrugging, shaking their head, looking down in sadness, etc.
    If they had a bad relationship, they can kick the grave

I sat there watching open-mouthed ... was I really seeing that? I know they're only game pixels, but I was still pretty disturbed at how she laughed like that at another child dying right in front of her. So there's one thing; Sims 2 kids were frackin' tough!

    Another detail might be that dogs could lift themselves into the “seat windows” from mansion and garden stuff to look outside and bark
    And also teens could sneak out with friends at midnight and they could or could not be caught by their parents. The friend would go and pick them up in a car that’s quality depended on how rich the friend was
    Hmm sort of a strange one but unlike the sims 3 and 4 where all teenage animations are copied off of the adult ones, in sims 2 , teens “romantic hug “ was different to adult one and same goes for the “make out “ in the hot tub
    Growing up animations would be different depending on whether they grew up well or badly
    Oh I guess the whole memory system is also worth mentioning xd
    Parents could drive their kids to school and teens could drive themselves
    Oh also sims having their own fears based on their aspirations and tons of stuff was unique to sims 2
    And so was stocking the fridge ! You would have to order groceries after a while and/or go shopping for them
    I’m not 100% sure but I think that having a rug in front of a lot chimney could cause a fire lol
    Sims 2 (holiday stuff) also had Santa Claus lol it was pretty hard to get him to come but you basically had to leave out Santa cookies and a few other things and he would leave you a present under the Christmas tree
    Oooh and there was a hidden “dancing skill” (which I guess is in sims 3 late night with the club dancing) but at least in vanilla sims 2, the more your sim dances , the better they’d get , they would eventually start spinning etc. They would go unlocking animations
    I’m not sure about sims 1 but career rewards were unique to sims 2 I think ?
    And unlike sims 3 , the lifetime aspiration points were usable objects that could be deadly if you used them without having your aspiration high (for example smart milk or the thing that would make ur needs go up)
    Depending on the sims aspiration they could unlock different perks (associated to that aspiration)
    I guess the unique mental breakdowns lol
    Oh and how about the different options you would get when you went to work ? Where if you picked wrong you could get fired and stuff
    In sims 3 and 4 you never have to “greet” first unlike sims 2 , and they would greet someone depending on how much they liked them , but since relationships weren’t always mutual , one of them could like the other and greet them happily whilst the other could hate them and give them a “hmph” for example
    Oh another good one would be that they would have different poses for their portraits , whereas sims 3 is all the same and sims 4 I guess just depends on the current emotion which in the end is all the same , as well as that when you would log into the household , the poses between the sims would depend on their relationships
    Parties could be broken up by cops
    I gotta say the fact that every age had their own walking style was so simple yet necessary
    Having a bad date could result in a bag of poo lit on fire at your doorstep lol
    Oh what about the “environment “ need ? That was only in sims 2 though I guess it was still there in the other actually but as buffs
    Sometimes the game would make sure your sim got punished for doing something like getting caught cheating by speeding up the animation that they were doing in order to get slapped
    Also gossip was a pretty strong tool in the sense that if , say , someone was getting cheated on and that persons sister catches them , they would not only lose relationship with the person cheating but also if you made them “gossip” to the person getting cheated on , they would find out
    The amount of candles on birthday cakes were according to the age
    Also maids were the only ones capable of cleaning puddles under an object
    And the fact that acquainted sims would always wave and say something whilst having that sim appear in their thought bubble whenever they walked into a room

While in Sims 3 I recall the guest would still wait by the door, but greeting was unnecessary, while in 4 guest outright walks into your house.
      And there was no chance cards in 1, only random events that you had no control over it (chance card is when you need to make a choice).

    When a sim dies, their cremation urn is placed in the house. If another sim on the lot is really unhappy with their life, they can get so angry that they'll smash the urn and break it to pieces, even if it was their family member. It was kind of a scary and sad thing to witness, actually.

    - Also I have noticed that when you add chairs to a table, the chairs will be a little far, but once in play mode they'll go in.
    - Sims in sims 2 have better memory than in sims 3 and 4.
    - Sims in sims 2 have skills, interests and hobbies (unlike sims 4)

      @NS I I'm partly in agreement with you there. Graphically, the best one was S3 Seasons, but I liked the mechanics of the season changes more in S2 - I think they did it a lot better and more realistically. In S3, the weather and temperature will take a sudden change literally overnight when the season changes, as apposed to the more realistic gradual change you get in S2. I made one of my S2 neighbourhoods as a mountain/alpine village and it was winter for three out of the four seasons, the other being summer. I recall as it changed back to winter, it was still pretty hot for a good four days as the temperature slowly got colder. In S3, as summer changes to autumn, they're pulling on their outdoor clothes by the end of the first day. So yeah, S2 Seasons is for me, the best seasons pack for that reason, but it's not as aesthetically pleasing as the S3 one and the S4 seasons is ... well ... urrgh!

  • @Celrrose
    @Celrrose 4 года назад +131

    I have some:
    When you get a money plant and have service people or any other sims on your lot, they will commonly steal the money from the plant sneakily.
    When you go on a date and it goes well, there's a very common chance that the sim will leave a bouquet of flowers, a single flower or a card at your Sims door with a cute note attached, but if it goes bad theres a chance they will leave a flaming bag of poop at your door.
    If a sim is furious with you, they might steal your newspaper in the mornings and knockover your trashcan at night, usually every night they do this!

    These lists are exactly why everyone says Sims 2 was the best game. As Sims 4 proves, the little details (or lack thereof) are all that stands between your sims feeling real and engaging ... and your sims being boring lifeless robots who all act exactly the same.
    I actually reinstalled 2 a few weeks ago, to see whether it really was as good as people said, and although the graphics and build mode were a bit painful (the only things 4 has actually improved on), I was surprised and charmed by my sims in ways that I'd forgotten I could be! Clicking back onto my sim to find out why it was taking so long for him to eat, only to find that he'd fallen asleep face first in his cereal genuinely surprised me, and cracked me up! Seeing my sims staring out the window by himself, watching them interact with each other, all these little details are what give the sims life and make them seem like real people!
    I just wish more people would stop buying the ridiculous, empty expansion and stuff packs so that EA has to actually make some changes.

    Not only turns-on's and -off's have to do with either our sim will find someone attractive but also their zodiac sign and aspiration. There's whole article about it on the sims wiki on "Chemistry". Not sure how it works in the other the Sims games as TS2 is the only one I played.

    I wish they would bring back the expanded romantic options of different kisses and flirt interactions. Also, regarding Number 70, even back in the early 2000's, Maxis and EA knew that a minimum wage of $7.25 is too low!

    I don't think it was mentioned, but if I remember from aaages ago, a kid isn't fed and they get re-homed by social services, they will obsessively check the fridge for food (because you know, you actually had to buy food in TS2 instead of having a magical always stocked fridge).
    Also not intentional but a funny bug, if you invite a sim child over to a family's lot, then go back to their original home and age them up, when you return to the first lot they will be an older sim body crammed into a child sim's skeleton. It's kind of hilarious.
