@@complainer406 Customer's favorite, sims 2 does have a favorite food feature, it's just hidden and chosen randomly for each sim. Sims 4 could never give us a dietary choice in likes and dislike...
That sounds hilarious, like on the one hand you'd get a relatively normal dish, but on the other hand you'll just be that sim eating a Pb and j at a restaurant.
They put a strange amount of effort into making pizza look good in the sims 2 and god damn they did it. Pizza in this game actually makes your mouth water.
the phone thing annoys me soooooo much lol theres nothing worse than when I am playing a challenge like rags to riches where my sim is homeless and has $0 and just pulls a $1200 iphone out of their pocket to take a selfie while idling lmaoo
I think the number 1 thing I miss is the affection in The Sims 2. The sims were so tactile and it made relationships feel more real and more truthful. The Sims 3 was still good for it, but by 4, it was kind of lost. I always find that sims in the Sims 2 were more real, and while CAS and building has been perfected, the realism in their behaviours and actions was so good.
I completely agree. They would wave to each other in passing, they immediately start talking and their social improves just by sitting next to someone else. Makeout and cuddling, children's interactions with other kids and adults, toddlers, they are all human-like. Sims 3 sometimes and Sims 4 almost always do not respond to their environment. They are just like robots living parallel lives. For example teens in Sims 2 would hate like a step mother or a date of their parent after the divorce, or if a parent had a child with someone else, they would not like that child. I did hate the jealousy and never did know how to turn that off, but it did add to the drama and story telling.
TS2 had life in it, TS3 had open world and that is it TS4 is a tech demo at best, even if it would be free you have to pay me to play it oh wait that is what actual TS4 streamers do ... yeah without paid streamers to hype up that garbage there would be no TS4 at all
My sims were always spoiled when i played sims 2 University. While everybody had normal rooms with cheap furnitures, my sims would have a suite with the most expensive items in the game and i would just lock the door🤣
I always give them everything at Uni, hot tubs, pools, pool tables, hookah bubbles, everything. They actually had time to socialize, travel, and study, whereas in Sims 4 they just study and barely sleep. :(
@@anatosic7323 exactly. I find playing the uni feature in sims 4 to be a chore. It makes me a little sad because as a university student myself I still want my sims to have fun. By the time my sims finish classes they are too tired to even do their hw so they can’t study. It’s a little depressing to watch 😂
I really miss the “Write a Novel” feature in the Sims 2. You could pick the progression of the plot, the book cover, and write the little bit about it! ❤️
i miss the computer screen ACTUALLY reflecting light on the sim and it effecting the light in the room itself from ts2…and the fact you actually had to turn the computer off too
I miss the stationary phone. Some houses just feel so…empty without it. The funny thing, there’s a stationary phone as part of “The Front Desk” object that’s purely decorative. And in debug, Cottage Living contains a red telephone booth.
So glad you mentioned the vacation system. Bon Voyage was one of the biggest reasons for me to the get PC version back in the day and it's a shame future installments focused more on "adventures" rather than having actual vacations for relaxing.
I literally go to Sulani in Sims 4, bring a tent and off the grid shower, and camp on the beach for a couple of days when I have days off. I do not like the adventure concept at all, usually buggy, and not really as exciting. It made sense in Sims 2 to collect objects, learn things. This way it's just like a bad game you would not play on its own. Sims 3 did it particularly badly, I could not stand those vacations. Just riding on those little scooters to no end, getting nowhere, to take a picture of the pyramid and be cursed by a mummy or whatever.
I use nraas traveler and have a proper vacation in sunlit tides with island paradise installed for water activities and sunbathing on a towel, also i send my sims to a resort originally placed in isla paradiso
Onlyabidoang did FOUR videos of 50 details of Sims 2. That means there are 200 details in Sims 2 not found in Sims 3 or 4. My favorite detail is the carpool. In some careers their carpool is a helicopter once you reach the top of the career!
You know what I miss? The attention to detail + families from Sims 2 and the gameplay of Sims 3. Pack those up with Sims 4 graphics + building tools and it'd essentially be my perfect Sims game.
Well, it's more like the details, families, lore and game-play of the Sims 2, the open world and create-a-style of the Sims 3 and the create-a-sim and build mode of the Sims 4. Put them all together for the ultimate sim game.
3:14 the same thing also happens in the nightlife expansion with the DJs in the nightclubs. You can work as a DJ and when you get bored or it's late and your sim needs to go home the original DJ npc will come back after you're done, and you'll earn simoleons for DJing too
I know it's only because of when the different games released, but lorewise, the timeline of technology progression in SimNation is really amazing: Sims 3 - cellphones and smartphones are all around / 25 years later - Sims 1 - A ban on cellphones? Only landlines allowed? / 25 years later - Sims 2 - cellphones are making a progressive comeback, but are harder to get than 50 years prior. Nothing else to say. I just like to imagine lore.
At least in 3 they don't *normally* start messing with their phones. They will, but it's rare. They can also drop their phones, and the screen will break. If it's raining and they're using it outside, they can drop it.
“I didn’t get a mobile phone until I was 13.” 😂 I’m literally like a Sims 2 sim. I got my very first phone at age 20 in 2004. I bought it at a mall kiosk, and paid for it myself. It was a tiny LG flip phone. Kids now get the newest iPhone paid for by their parents. If I were a kid today, I’d be one of those rare kids without a phone, or I would have the most basic thing a available. My parents are damn near luddites.
I might have to install everything and play again. I remember my Sims' lives so much more vividly from Sims 2, even though I'm currently still playing 3. Everything was just so detailed.
The sims 4 could never. I love the sims 2! It’s my favourite sims series by far. Great video! The “wtf” sounds for the sims 4 made me laugh so much haha
I miss the interactions at the table at Sims 2. I play the Sims 3 and sometimes I wish I could do same things like propose, order meals etc. You can kinda have the same experience with Into the Future but I really miss all the little things they could do at the table.
Out of curiosity, what DON'T you miss from older sims games? I always hated having to find clean versions of the neighborhoods just so I could play before my game would inevitably corrupt and I'd have to start over. (This happened to me four times before I reluctantly gave up on Sims 2.) Was Sims 3's University pack any good? I still prefer 2 to 4, but I never got a chance to play 3. I still miss playing University with 2.
It was incredible! You came to the school and there was a welcome event for your major to meet other students, the professors could be interacted with, the classes could be active. There were sorority and frat parties, there were social groups etc etc. Watch a review on it if you'd like to see everything it has without dedicating time to a gameplay etc
Older sims games had a lot less variety in clothing I think. Or at least I had maybe 3 sets of clothes everyone wore because I didn't enjoy the others. Sims4 (especially the expansions), had a greater variety of clothing and more options, so even if I only used 10 outfits, it was at least a different outfit per person in the household. I also don't miss the difficulty spike when kids got involved. Admittedly, I was much younger when sims2 first came out, but I remember it was game ending if I had 2 toddlers at the same time (either i lost the kids or lost the parents). By 3 the toddlers could kind of take care of themselves a bit better but if you had a daycare you basically needed 2 adults to take care of 4 kids. Sims 4, you just put down an 8 serving dish and leave them be or focus on taking care of them in a micromanaging way.
I didn't (and still don't) like how Sims 2 handled aging, which I guess is called story progression. It was weird having a kid, once grown, marry his father's mistress, but what could I do? Rotational play was not easy for me.
I really really wish the sims fans new to the game even as far back as sims 3 could get an opportunity to play sims 2 for about a week or so. I know when it was offered as a free download a few years back the reaction from within the community caused EA to remove it. Sims fans who tried it were astounded at the depth & quality of the game.
theres still soo many places to get it from. and for free as well. some of them also include all the packs i got it on my laptop recently and it works great so far
One thing I miss is being able to shop for clothes. It was always nice to have to invest money into a sims wardrobe instead of being able to wear almost everything right away. Also alarm clocks. There are small clocks but I don't think any of them have alarms. The phones to place into the house and being able to buy cars. [I don't know if they were added back in or not.]
I miss the crossover of real life lore with sims lore in veronaville from the sims 2. That Shakespeare town captured my heart and I will remember those families fondly
I play TS3, and while I think it did _most_ things better, there was definitely a few I still sorely miss: 1) An actual, dedicated apartment system (they did not really replicate this in any usable way and it was honestly my favorite part of the entire TS2 game) 2) An OFB-esque expansion with full-on store-owning capabilities (though Ambitions did take a few interesting takes, and they did add Self-employed Careers that covered almost everything you could do in the game, which was nice) 3) Actual permanent zombies and not just a moodlet-buff skin-change.
In addition to reacting to new objects, sims could also react to important items being sold without being replaced, with an interaction called "Where did it go”.
Another one... There are two different pizza variants as well! But because of a bug in the code it defaults to one specific one so you need a mod to fix it so it randomizes
I think the jump from Sims and Sims 2 is insane compared to others. I feel like they felt they had to seriously bump up their game to keep people playing their game. It feels as if they tried the most with this game to truly make an amazing experience. While the others definitely have stepped up in other ways and added more features, at the same time it pushed other features aside or removed them entirely.
Speaking of the restaurants, one of the features I really miss from the Sims 2 is that you could put down something on a community lot and it'd automatically be staffed when you played there, you didn't have to set a particular lot type like bar or restaurant, you just put down the stuff you needed for it to work and your lot could have everything from a nightclub to a karoke restaurant to a bowling alley without any of it conflicting... and also the fact Nightlife came with all that and you didn't need three or four packs for the same amount of content.
I really like the detail of being able to make & order photo albums, i’d have my sims make one up of their vacations with photos they took to look back on🥺
2:50 There are cafeterias in Sims 4 as well!! I always send my student Sims there - food is free and changes three times for each meal, there are a lot of Sims to meet, and sometimes your roommates (?) tag along too!!
bestie youre the queen of sims yt. underrated channel. i binge watched half your channel at work the day I found it and I've been in love with your content ever since. legend things
i listen to the sims 2 latin radio on repeat TO THIS DAY for instant nostalgia. i exclusively play ts3 but still swap the music out for ts2 music. it just hits…so different…
Also, when eating in restaurants with your date, you can propose to them at the table! I loved that feature when I was a kid. I always did it to make it feel like a movie proposal in a restaurant lol
To me the Sims 2 is definitely the one generation that has the MOST personality, and you can really tell the team working on it had a lot of passion! Most of if not ALL the ideas and details were added to the game, giving the Sims so much LIFE! From toddlers to kids to adults, they all have so many unique animations and interactions with the world and unique animations for the same item
Being a 90’s kid. Grand theft Vice City, HALO CE, Metroid Prime and the Ghost Recon were some of my favorite games but Sims 2 just has a special place in my heart that no other game has filled and I’ve been playing video games here and there since 1997~98. Medal of Honor Frontline was super fun story and Halo 2 multi player were awesome and Halo 3 story and online was my favorite but Sims 2 and Sims 3 just filled my top list
Shout-out to the early 2000s. I was a latch key kid and my parents were scared I'd get kiddynapped on my way to and from school so they gave me a swanky flip phone. I took so many sepia photos.
I so much like the shade you throw at ts4 hahah I have always loved sims 2 and still playing it after 12 years. Sims 4 feels lifeless and lacks personality and while i very much love sims 3 i just cant bare the load time. Thx for this insightful video, keep up the good content
Oh God yesss the computer details was very detail. The process from turning on computer, waiting to boot, do any activities with the computer..... and there's an option to turn them off afteruse! I don't know whether it will affect sim's bills or not... but it sure does irl lol
I feel like back when they were making the sims 2 it was so revolutionary and the game was their child they poured so much love and devotion into this next superior generation of life simulator because it was like "WOAH your little people can order a pizza and WOAH look each piece comes off its so realistic" and it was so immersive. By now I think they just see it as already done and its about making a new game to stay relevant and maintain profits rather than introduce something revolutionary
I got a pink Razor when I was 10 because my mom's class schedule for that semester didn't allow her time to walk me to the bus stop for school. So she got me one to call her incase anything happened. Which, something did happen and thankfully my mom's class had gotten canceled that afternoon so she was home.
It's so strange but even if i love sims 2 I can't play sims 4.its looking so difficult to me that after playing 40 minutes I deleted it 😅. And went back to my people in the sims 2
I'm pretty sure Sims music is royalty free so I think you'll be okay on that end. I've heard Sims 3 music is so many random places and some Sims 1 music, as well.
I miss the witch system, I loved it so much when I was a kid ! Also Hail, because it disapeared in later sims game (I would love weather with consequences, sandstorm maybe weathers that brings problems ?)
I hate the mobile phones that can't be disabled! I play historically and it's impossible to do it on sims 4 'cause the phone keeps breaking my imersion. I wish I could just turn it off
I miss how you could right click on a sim and you could get a close up of their face and when I would tell my sim to clean they look straight at you and complain lol
I don't play TS4 x many reasons but I gotta mention this feature you might have missed, even if someone else has already pointed it out. Now, if you make your household sim "set the table" you want them to dine or eat in general as a family they won't get up from their chairs. Since I don't play I can't be sure but I've seen many others point it out on many videos. I dunno, if in restaurants it works all the same. Anyways, I miss the sims 2 details aswell...
Even though M e and my sims are total homebodies, I really liked that vacations in the sims 2 were, well, vacations and not just Indiana Jones adventures or whatever.
Heated pool thing makes so much sense! I'm so tired of my Sims dying every time they decide themselves to take a dip in the pool in the winter. Is there a feature that allows us to heat our pools in the Sims four?
Sims 2 are superior to all other versions. I wish they kept improving on the amazing game they created instead of just starting from scratch with something more and more disappointing. I love Sims 4, but Sims 2 was a much more complex experience
I really don’t like how the Sims 2 doesn’t have hospitals (not like as a rabbithole, but I mean having my sims just go off the lot to it to give birth there) and I’m not a fan of the lifespan aging or the weird timeloop when my sims leave the lot. But the fact that there are so many details and the effort they put into them in this game are incredible. It’s no wonder why people love the Sims 2 to this day and I don’t blame them. I just got into it and now I can definitely see why people love this and 3 over the sims 4. Also yes the music was an absolute banger :>
Now that you mentioned vacation, i played sims 2 ultimate game and I only had the 3 lakes vacation, I used to have all 3 I’m sure of it, did I delete it by mistake 😳🥺 it’s no longer there, great video.
Id love a modern twist on the phones in 4, where you can pay for a upgraded one, like there's default one that's there but a better version with full camera control would be a nice addition
+ I think one the laziest things with 4s pcs in general is a lot of diff interactions use the same animation reel on the pc. You'll be researching legal docs but it's the same screen for social messaging

Pizza in sims 2 also has a hidden second topping but due to the code being messed up it doesnt show it, though you can easily fix that with a mod
All of the food looked delicious and the cooking animations were great
Anytime my sim ordered a pizza, which wasn't very often, I always wanted to order one for myself in real life. Yummers
Exactly why I use a replacement mod for my TS3 pizza. Ordering pizza in Sims is minor, but this one looks so delicious, I'd order it daily
the phone thing annoys me soooooo much lol theres nothing worse than when I am playing a challenge like rags to riches where my sim is homeless and has $0 and just pulls a $1200 iphone out of their pocket to take a selfie while idling lmaoo

I definitely miss the storyline! Sims Bustin out was my all time favorite
In addition to reacting to new objects, sims could also react to important items being sold without being replaced, with an interaction called "Where did it go”.
Also, fun fact! Chef Choice is always your sim's favorite food! Yes... They have hidden favorites!
Another one... There are two different pizza variants as well! But because of a bug in the code it defaults to one specific one so you need a mod to fix it so it randomizes
I think the jump from Sims and Sims 2 is insane compared to others. I feel like they felt they had to seriously bump up their game to keep people playing their game. It feels as if they tried the most with this game to truly make an amazing experience. While the others definitely have stepped up in other ways and added more features, at the same time it pushed other features aside or removed them entirely.
I miss everything mentioned in this video and the last but the most I miss is cut scenes and getting in and out of cars
i wish i could play this amazing game again
Speaking of the restaurants, one of the features I really miss from the Sims 2 is that you could put down something on a community lot and it'd automatically be staffed when you played there, you didn't have to set a particular lot type like bar or restaurant, you just put down the stuff you needed for it to work and your lot could have everything from a nightclub to a karoke restaurant to a bowling alley without any of it conflicting... and also the fact Nightlife came with all that and you didn't need three or four packs for the same amount of content.
Omg I didnt know about the computer in Sims 2! I love that your sim has to go through the whole process of launching the game 😂
Please do a vid like that about sims 3!😁
I really like the detail of being able to make & order photo albums, i’d have my sims make one up of their vacations with photos they took to look back on🥺
The cuddle and romance animations were so good! But the cooking animations were top tier
2:50 There are cafeterias in Sims 4 as well!! I always send my student Sims there - food is free and changes three times for each meal, there are a lot of Sims to meet, and sometimes your roommates (?) tag along too!!
Always love your videos, they scratch my constant need for more sims lore and facts.
omg this was uploaded as i was watching the last details video!
Yaaaaasss 😍😏💅
bestie youre the queen of sims yt. underrated channel. i binge watched half your channel at work the day I found it and I've been in love with your content ever since. legend things
i listen to the sims 2 latin radio on repeat TO THIS DAY for instant nostalgia. i exclusively play ts3 but still swap the music out for ts2 music. it just hits…so different…
Some of the features, like reacting to new furniture, is also present in TS3
snack report is oatmeal & a caribou chiller :)
we all missed you miss lore!! i hope you had s great trip!
Oohhh yum!!! Thank you so much 😊🥰💕 we had a wonderful time 😍
8:20 that's why on the sims 4 I have my sims listen to the retro radio station
SNACK REPORT
Chocolate Chip cookies
Also, when eating in restaurants with your date, you can propose to them at the table! I loved that feature when I was a kid. I always did it to make it feel like a movie proposal in a restaurant lol
To me the Sims 2 is definitely the one generation that has the MOST personality, and you can really tell the team working on it had a lot of passion! Most of if not ALL the ideas and details were added to the game, giving the Sims so much LIFE! From toddlers to kids to adults, they all have so many unique animations and interactions with the world and unique animations for the same item
Snack report: Yogurt
Watching these videos makes me want to play the Sims 2 again
Being a 90’s kid. Grand theft Vice City, HALO CE, Metroid Prime and the Ghost Recon were some of my favorite games but Sims 2 just has a special place in my heart that no other game has filled and I’ve been playing video games here and there since 1997~98. Medal of Honor Frontline was super fun story and Halo 2 multi player were awesome and Halo 3 story and online was my favorite but Sims 2 and Sims 3 just filled my top list
Shout-out to the early 2000s. I was a latch key kid and my parents were scared I'd get kiddynapped on my way to and from school so they gave me a swanky flip phone. I took so many sepia photos.
I got one when I was 11 I was born in 1990. I’m currently majoring in ms psychology in graduate school. Thanks for the video.
I so much like the shade you throw at ts4 hahah I have always loved sims 2 and still playing it after 12 years. Sims 4 feels lifeless and lacks personality and while i very much love sims 3 i just cant bare the load time. Thx for this insightful video, keep up the good content
I regret binging your content a few months ago because I want to binge it now
In The Sims 3, your couple sims cuddle in bed too! One of my fave features with couples
I remember what a boss I would feel like the first time my sim got picked up by a hellicopter! Or flying off as a superhero? Awesome!
Oh God yesss the computer details was very detail. The process from turning on computer, waiting to boot, do any activities with the computer..... and there's an option to turn them off afteruse! I don't know whether it will affect sim's bills or not... but it sure does irl lol
Speaking of music. We all know that one salsa song that comes on when your sims house/life is in utter shambles.
omggg yayyy u did my suggestion and put her in psychology major !!! 💗💗
I love your videos ♥️♥️ also: currently eating some bounty ice cream. Those pregnancy cravings are coming in strong 🤣
Congratulations! 😄❤
@@NeoDarkling thanks lovely xx
Congratulations love !! ❤️
Just came in to say that I love your channel so much!!
This game is just so comforting
Oh nooo, get well soon, mrs Lore! Wishing for a swift recovery~
Sims also react to furniture being deleted, "Where Did This Object Go?"
Loved this video!!! Sims 2 is my favorite of the series and some of these details I forgot about until I saw them!
I used to get so hype when Arch of the Sim would start playing i CAS. A total banger.
I feel like back when they were making the sims 2 it was so revolutionary and the game was their child they poured so much love and devotion into this next superior generation of life simulator because it was like "WOAH your little people can order a pizza and WOAH look each piece comes off its so realistic" and it was so immersive. By now I think they just see it as already done and its about making a new game to stay relevant and maintain profits rather than introduce something revolutionary
I Loved the cute little cut scenes in Sims 2 🥰
Hi miss Lore, we missed you!
Hi!!! Missed you guys so much! 🥰❤️
I got a pink Razor when I was 10 because my mom's class schedule for that semester didn't allow her time to walk me to the bus stop for school. So she got me one to call her incase anything happened. Which, something did happen and thankfully my mom's class had gotten canceled that afternoon so she was home.
It's so strange but even if i love sims 2 I can't play sims 4.its looking so difficult to me that after playing 40 minutes I deleted it 😅. And went back to my people in the sims 2
Hello, could you do a whole video about The Sims 3 badges from the official store? Love your videos!
I'm pretty sure Sims music is royalty free so I think you'll be okay on that end. I've heard Sims 3 music is so many random places and some Sims 1 music, as well.
I miss the witch system, I loved it so much when I was a kid ! Also Hail, because it disapeared in later sims game (I would love weather with consequences, sandstorm maybe weathers that brings problems ?)
may i ask what program you use for your title cards such as the one at 7:53 ? they're beautiful
It would be really interesting if you made a theory on Kaylynn Langerak and her family lineage to Arthur Langerak of Lunar Lakes. Love your videos ❤️
as much as i love adventure worlds on sims 3, vacation was one of the best feature !!
I hate the mobile phones that can't be disabled! I play historically and it's impossible to do it on sims 4 'cause the phone keeps breaking my imersion. I wish I could just turn it off
the music ❤❤❤ love you mark mothersbaugh
1:42 made me giggle😂
I miss how you could right click on a sim and you could get a close up of their face and when I would tell my sim to clean they look straight at you and complain lol
That's why The Sims 2 is my favourite Sims game :D Also Love Jodie Larson which is in this video :D
I don't play TS4 x many reasons but I gotta mention this feature you might have missed, even if someone else has already pointed it out.
Now, if you make your household sim "set the table" you want them to dine or eat in general as a family they won't get up from their chairs. Since I don't play I can't be sure but I've seen many others point it out on many videos. I dunno, if in restaurants it works all the same.
Anyways, I miss the sims 2 details aswell...
The cell phone at the two minute mark looks like a v cast. That was also my first phone in middle school. 😂
Even though M e and my sims are total homebodies, I really liked that vacations in the sims 2 were, well, vacations and not just Indiana Jones adventures or whatever.
Heated pool thing makes so much sense! I'm so tired of my Sims dying every time they decide themselves to take a dip in the pool in the winter. Is there a feature that allows us to heat our pools in the Sims four?
Sims 2 are superior to all other versions. I wish they kept improving on the amazing game they created instead of just starting from scratch with something more and more disappointing. I love Sims 4, but Sims 2 was a much more complex experience
I really don’t like how the Sims 2 doesn’t have hospitals (not like as a rabbithole, but I mean having my sims just go off the lot to it to give birth there) and I’m not a fan of the lifespan aging or the weird timeloop when my sims leave the lot.
But the fact that there are so many details and the effort they put into them in this game are incredible. It’s no wonder why people love the Sims 2 to this day and I don’t blame them. I just got into it and now I can definitely see why people love this and 3 over the sims 4.
Also yes the music was an absolute banger :>
Now that you mentioned vacation, i played sims 2 ultimate game and I only had the 3 lakes vacation, I used to have all 3 I’m sure of it, did I delete it by mistake 😳🥺 it’s no longer there, great video.
Id love a modern twist on the phones in 4, where you can pay for a upgraded one, like there's default one that's there but a better version with full camera control would be a nice addition
+ I think one the laziest things with 4s pcs in general is a lot of diff interactions use the same animation reel on the pc. You'll be researching legal docs but it's the same screen for social messaging
Round of applause for our gurrrlll taking psych
I am from Greece! Hope you had Great time here 😃
