i definitely noticed the cowplant artwork, i was so shocked as a kid when i found it. i think it’s super cool to find little details like these, they add so much to the experience.
its cool that the made up religion in the sims 2 coincides with the religion 'made' for the sims medieval!! "the watchers eye" or "the eye of the watcher" represents the player and your will to control their lives as their god, but they dont know it. thats why they have two different cathedrals, the peteran and jacoban ones, and the player decides which is the 'right' or 'wrong' religion (basically choosing which is more powerful/popular), or you can keep all your subjects atheist! i think its cool that you can be decidedly non-religious in a game based sooo long ago. might not even be realistic to have atheism that far back but i still think its a fun feature
That's true, a good point! Grim is implying an afterlife - absolutely with religious connotations too 😊 Thanks for noticing, and thank ýou for your comment!
Hi, I just thought of a somewhat ''morbid'' way of maybe bringing Bella back, well, ghost children are problematic in the game because they go to the Default family and as they appear at night, the only adults available to look for them Are the NPCs universal right? Well, in Belavista's Default family, Bella is there, alive, just not unliked, so if Alexander passed away, would Bella appear at night at the Goth mansion to look for her son's ghost?
Apparently I can't insert a photo to a comment. The description in buy mode says: Chanukah Menorah Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, celebrates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem. It is also a celebration of the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days when there was only enough for one. This miracle is commemorated by lighting a candle on the menorah each night for eight nights, plus one candle called the Shamash, which is used to light the other candles. Environment: 1 So it also describes the holiday and its use😊
there was some region specific store content holiday stuff (i think it was for germany) that included a nativity set with some crosses if i'm not mistaken.
@@Reese-sim if you go on the internet archive and search for "DieSims2 de Archive" you'll find the nativity set and "Das Nachtleben Vorwegnehmen" has a cross that was appearantly for the nightlife pack.
There's also the statue of the grey lady in nightlife, who is pretty obviously reminiscent of a saint, down to her dying a tragic death and now protects children from that manner of death
Interesting topic. The first thing I thought of was one of the buildings in a Strangetown community lot that looks like it could have been a small church. I don’t know if you showed a picture of it or not. I also thought of the holiday stuff. There is also some mission style furniture. I think that the name might imply that there were missions/missionaries. Also, if you don’t mind me asking, what is your native language?
Thank you for commenting. Actually it was the church-building in the Strangetown community lot that got me this idea - but I totally forgot to include it in the actual video🙃 My native language is danish, so I hope my english is understandable 😊
@@Reese-simIt is an interesting idea. Your English is great! I’m sorry if it seemed like I was saying otherwise by asking. That wasn’t what I meant. I was just wondering because in the Sims 1 piano video, you had said you didn’t speak German, and I had initially thought you were German. I didn’t think to ask it then.
@@DonTornado Thanks! And don't worry, I didn't read it as a critique, I was more curious 😊😊 Actually I do speak a bit of german, but not enough unfortunately! So where are you from?
@@Reese-sim Ok good. I’m from the USA. I’m learning Spanish, but I’m kind of hesitant to say that I speak it. I’m mostly of German descent, but I do actually have a little bit of Danish ancestry. I’m pretty sure that my great great grandmother was from Denmark! I think it’s pretty cool how many people play Sims around the world! Does Sims 2 have an option to play in Danish, or do you have to use a different language? I know you showed English text in the video.
@@DonTornado That's so cool! I have played the sims in danish my entire childhood, and until I started doing these videos (I only changed to english for the videos) 😊 😊 I tried for some time to play in german, and it's actually a really good way to broaden the vocabulary when practising a foreign language.
I think the most compelling evidence of religion in the Sims 2 actually comes from the PSP adaptation. Although "real world" religion isn't mentioned, they have a bovine sect / religious group. idk maybe its just me, but I've always seen them as a religious sect and I love the concept applied to the sims, especially since it doesn't really take inspiration from any religion that exists (yes, in hinduism cows can be considered sacred, but its very different from the way in which they implemented it in the game).

Agree, small gems like that really makes a difference to the game 😊

That's really cool! I really have to explore Sims Medieval more!😊
Great video! About the paradise thing, the grim reaper can take a sim by sort of offering them paradise whith the hula zombies and stuff

Very interesting! The Sims 2 will forever have a special place in my heart. Your videos showing all these details are so good!
Thank you so much 😊 The Sims 2 has a special place in my heart too, so I just can't help continuing to explore it.
i love how your mind works! i would've never thought of something like this.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed it 😊
Does the product description in the catalog in Buy Mode also describe the chandelier as a "menorah"?
Yes, it's called 'Chanukah Menorah' 😊

Oh you're absolutely right! Thanks for bringing her to my attention 😊 I use her a lot when building, so it's a shame that I forgot about her.

wow good video i had never thought about that
Thank you so much 😊
There is literally an interest or conversation topic of “Religion” no? I remember that being one for some reason.
I don't remember actually. There is paranormal as a topic as far as I remember, but I will have to look into it. That you be SO interesting 😊
Okay, I just checked, and there is no 'religion' as interest 😊
I „made up” my own, there is the sun wall decor that I hang up in all houses so it’s my pleasant view sun religion 😂
I love it! Did you think of it as a religious thing in your gameplay, or was it just because you put it in every household? 😊
@@Reese-sim more of a religion of some sort! I like this decor so much I thought my sims would cherish the sun haha
@@ewa1574 I really like the idea, it gives the households a connection - also across neighborhoods 😊 😊
hey girl! sent you an e-mail.
Thank you, just sent you an email :)
