The 3 main reason why this is the best game in the Sims franchise: 1)Story Mode, 2)Multiplayer 3)Control your sims with the analog and not by clicks. Why don't they bring those things back? This game was honestly ahead of its time!
Wow how did I forget about that? it was honestly one of my favorite features the fact that your food could change your mood, been able to make pizza and use fish from your fishbowl was amazing!
Yeah, those were amazing, good times! I prob gonna download it on vacation, I know I wont play more than 1 hour but , I will give it a try to revive the good old days.
They did bring it back, the third person/analogue control anyway in the sims 3 for the Nintendo Wii. Sadly it was the only one the other versions like ps3 were controlled by clicking and no third person control. Sims 3 Wii is also two players but not in the way we wanted.
i find it easier to click on every action. much easier to queue tasks rather than having to walk up to all of the things 1 by 1. and sims have autonomy they can take care of themselves for the most part, granted you can turn autonomy off in the modern games
JessicaRoseJ - relate. Those were the days 😞❤️. I used to go outside when it rained and love walking with my umbrella or newspaper! The randomness was so fun! I’m hoping to buy a PS2 and the sims 2 again sometime soon 😄
Guys if you have pc you can download a programm of ps2 ( pcxs2) you can search for more informations on youtube, and you can download and play the game again😃 I did one day i played but i got bored 😅😂
The saving menu that would always take precisely 30 seconds from start to finish...yes, I remember counting how long it took every single time, regardless of what or when you were saving
Used to play this the moment I woke up around 8 am all the way to 10 pm and remember feeling fine and just happy. Now I tried to play it again, it was fun but after 2-3 hours my eyes, my neck and my back hurt from sitting too long :') I hate growing old.
I actually got very emotional when watching this. Sims 2 was childhood:(, I miss it. You will never forget the sounds on this game, from peeing and eating, sleeping and getting food, while socialize and the job, cat fights, singing while in the shower, aaaah man Goodness me, brings back so much memories, its actually driving me crazy. :(
Same 😔 I remember sometimes pretending to be sick just to skip school and play this game with my cousin. It was funny as hell. Very good memories. Now we don't even speak to each other
I’m lowkey going to cry. I played this all throughout elementary and middle school and the intro is giving me SUCH a wave of nostalgia. This was my favorite thing to do on the weekends.
I'm surprised how many people still play sims 2. I thought this game would be dead but there are videos and comments only made a few days or weeks ago and this game was made in 2005! (I still play it too)
I miss when we can control sims using analog sticks. What makes me super nostalgic about this game is the music. The radio will never be turned off when I play😭🤘
18:07 2004: “We’re not friends anymore. You should have called me up or hung out with me a little more often.” 2019: *doesn’t get a reply for a text message in days and is still friends with them*
If you mix a whole lot of fish in a blender you can make a death slurry and invite all your neighbours to come drink it. I think I took out everyone in the game once.
Caity May I remember doing that in the alien crash site but I can't remember the ingredients. All I remember is I used that fauxlextra oil and squid and a few other ingredients
I really miss this game :( Console games are so much better because doing the "story mode" is always so fun. Like the Cow cult from Sims 2 PSP was so funny, wish they came back somehow!
this was the first sims game i ever played... the nostalgia!!!!! i was in second grade when i first played so i remember not knowing how to work anything LMAO
This makes me so nostalgic. Its clearly an old game and newer installments have improved but one thing that the PS2 sims games did better than other games was letting you directly control your sim with the joystick, not just click on the ground to make the sim go there. It was a lot more immersive and honestly just controlled better because the sim would never get stuck or glitched because of terrible pathfinding/AI. I wish they would use that again.
Here's one weird thing about this game that I remember: When you got to design your character there was no choice for what stage of life your character was in but there was a regular adult and another that was the same exact character model except they had wrinkles and age spots. Sometimes I wouldn't even notice until I started changing my characters clothes. The only way to change it was to randomize your character and hope you didn't get a person with the wrinkles and age spots.
Sorry I’m not selling them ☹️, but u might be able to buy the cd online, there’s a lot of tutorials to download ts2 for pc on RUclips, that’s how I could play again 🙂
Abdou Nino Crb i prefer to play it on the computer, I like it way more, but still it was a pretty cool experience to play it on ps2 cuz u could play multiplayer and it was very fun!!
This game really made my childhood special. I still do listen to its soundtrack from time to time, it is so good. Whenever I get the time I'll have to play it again like in the old days :)
@Victor Antônio - What?! Why did i not know that StrangerVille GP is ‘spin-off’? I have been wondering why Sims 4 have not spin-off version of it yet while Sims 3 has Medieval, Sims 2 has Castaway? 😕
The best trick to make friends in this game is it to invite people over then call them to sit in the pool or couch then place an object so they cant get out then sit there with your sim, they will start talking automatically and they wil become your friends so fast. For Example buy the hot tub go in it, call the sim you want to have as a friend over and when he gets in, place an object where he got in, that will make him be unable to get out of the hot tub and now your sim and the other one will talk with each other and the social points will go up to 100, after that just remove the object, the other sim will get out and home and do it with the next one, you can also do it with more then 1 sim just fill up the whole hot tub with sims and place objects so they cant get out they will talk automatically
You should do a gameplay video on: Crash Tag Team Racing - PSP Sims Bustin Out - PS2 The Simpsons Game - Wii Mario Kart Double Dash - Game Cube Grand Theft Auto The Ballad Of Gay Tony- PS3 or PC Gran Turismo Sport - PS4 Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 - PS3 The Incredibles - Game Cube
This is one of the best games they've ever created. The only The Sims where we can actually control the Sims. It marked my childhood, and the quality of this video is impeccable, it's like I was playing!
I was born in 2004 so I never grew up with the game, but don't worry because 10 years laters I'm gonna see a video about the sims 4 and say: This was my childhood. hhahaha
I played Pets & Castaway for the PS2 a lot as a kid, those were my first sims games. I then bought this second handed and was so disappointed to find out that the disc was in bad shape and the game was pretty much broken, I could only get through the create-a-sim menu.
Great memories playing this game for hours on end. I was never able to finish story mode for some reason, though. I think it had to do with the fact that the game was in English and I hadn't the foggiest idea what was going on at times.
THE MEMORIES THE INTRO JUST BROUGHT BACK, WTF. I can't believe it's been 13 years since I had this game! It feels like just yesterday. I miss my childhood!!! :(((
I never knew that Paramore Pressure song was an actual song…I always thought it was a part of the game, so you can only imagine how in love I was when I realized it was a real life song!

Jason Woods
ayoooooo 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
haha I still have
5 years ago :') some many memories 💓👌
yess amen
Same, I want to play it again but my PS3 screen stopped working and the other one I have doesn’t play PS2 games…
2 player split-screen, movement with the analog sticks, story mode, paramore songs - this game was a gem
The intro was everything
Agree
The woman eating the soup used to scare me though and lowkey put me off the game as a child LMFAO
So sad there isn‘t a Trailer anymore in Sims 4
I forgot the intro saw this comment then saw the chicken playing chess and lost it😂😂😂
It's the best of all, just like the game!!
My childhood in one video.
- Agent Miku - Sameee only mine was on the Wii
- Agent Miku - omg ikr
Me and my sister would play this all the time on the ps2! It was so much fun and we had that same house.
OMG same I played on the GameCube though
My too
This and the sims 2 castaway were such a huge part of my childhood....ahhh the nostalgia.
nikkisus YAS!! I played this and castaway omg
Me too

me too! and there was also the sims bustin’ out 😗
same!

The ps2 was the golden era of video games. You have no idea how much nostalgia I’m getting from this video and I love it.
And the EASE of using it. It's fully relaxing because it's aimed for children.
Actual current reality of video games might want a word with ya...
That’s just because you were a kid back then, and you are not now.
@@arandomcat5551 thanks for rubbing it in, asshole
YALLLL THESE YOUNGINS DONT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT STORY MODE AND BEING ABLE TO MOVE YOUR SIMS
JessicaRoseJ - relate. Those were the days 😞❤️. I used to go outside when it rained and love walking with my umbrella or newspaper! The randomness was so fun! I’m hoping to buy a PS2 and the sims 2 again sometime soon 😄

😂
Bradley Swaine do you have pc?
Guys if you have pc you can download a programm of ps2 ( pcxs2) you can search for more informations on youtube, and you can download and play the game again😃
I did one day i played but i got bored 😅😂
I still remember the slow loading
The saving menu that would always take precisely 30 seconds from start to finish...yes, I remember counting how long it took every single time, regardless of what or when you were saving
So sad
The loading music is so cool!!!
Me too bro

This was hilarious but I felt this sooooooo much man. Gooooood times and memories I tell ya🥰🥰🥰
you can play it on aethersx2 emulator
Sim era divertido mesmo ❤️💥
@@vanellope05 ¿How about PS2 emulator on PC? 🤔
*This game was so ahead of its time.*
Cs Seguin not really dude

For 2005 yes it was
@@vfvfcjcb it is way too advance for ps2
the save file takes 1/5 of ur memory card
@Apple Is Forever bruh you make me feel old... I'm 23 and played this as a kid
No one can deny the fact that this was THE BEST sims game. This beat 1,3 and 4!! For me it was the most fun version of the sims
Ac Ca I SWEAR!!!
Ac Ca especially the fact that you can play with another person and also move via joy stick
Fancy Paws i didnt even remember you could move with a joystick, WHY IS THIS NOT POSSIBLE ON OTHER SIMS?!?!
The open world of 3 eclipsed 2 by a country mile.
No sims bustin out was the best sims game lol

It's a classic, I'd buy a new system just for this game
i still play the PC version :') it's a really great game
Sims 2 is unique! And love playing it!
I miss when we can control sims using analog sticks. What makes me super nostalgic about this game is the music. The radio will never be turned off when I play😭🤘
FR!!!!
I forgot how great it was to play sims 2
I loved the direct control of your sims. It made it feel wayy more immersive.
I used to spend hours on this game when it first came out, and it was where I first heard paramore
OMG SAME!!! PRESSURE ROCKED SO HARD IN SIMLISH
same
same!! i just listened to pressure and remembered sims 2 😭😭😭
Direct control of your sims was a great idea. Wish the other ones implemented it. Makes it feel more immersive.
A timeless game, the neighborhood never felt empty compared to many of the other sims games.
I used to play this as a child with my mother on two player mode ❤ the intro alone made me extremely happy
18:07 2004: “We’re not friends anymore. You should have called me up or hung out with me a little more often.”
2019: *doesn’t get a reply for a text message in days and is still friends with them*
9:33 i used to be in love with that song! i used to try and skip through the songs to get to that one song
Same here omg :D
Same here omg
This is the song ruclips.net/video/Avma23E4Nwg/видео.html
This song literally made me realize sim music was real life music lol I found the paramore song when I got older
which paramore song is it?
Thx dude for binging back my childhood ! I played it a lot .
Thx for uploading .
I MISS THIS GAME SOOO MUCH HUHU MY CHILDHOOD
If you mix a whole lot of fish in a blender you can make a death slurry and invite all your neighbours to come drink it. I think I took out everyone in the game once.
Caity May I remember doing that in the alien crash site but I can't remember the ingredients. All I remember is I used that fauxlextra oil and squid and a few other ingredients
Lmao this was so funny to me
oooo
Yes I remember that. You can make food to kill people
PASS ME THE RECIPE NOW
I really miss this game :(
Console games are so much better because doing the "story mode" is always so fun. Like the Cow cult from Sims 2 PSP was so funny, wish they came back somehow!
Lmao, the create-a-sim in this version of The Sims 2 had features that even The Sims 4 doesn't have.
Dog of Wisdom U should see Sims 3 for Xbox 360, that game is garbage.
No, Sims 4 have the best CAS in my opinion
@Starzone88 Americans...
ROFL I still have an xbox 360, xbox one's price is too high
@domen not, its a good game it was released after sims 2 pets when the xbox 360 was being sold
the material 😭😭😭😭😭. wish the sims 4 has the material changer
I miss it, the soundtrack, the feel, the gameplay, the feature. Ah such a great game
I remember sleeping late and waking up early just to play this game :") ahhhhhhh the memories
this was the first sims game i ever played... the nostalgia!!!!! i was in second grade when i first played so i remember not knowing how to work anything LMAO
I was exactly the same, stayed in the first house for ages 😂
GIRL SAME
SAME
God. The music that plays when you customize your character just took me wayy back to the good old days
i remember playing this in multiplayer mode with my brother, ah the good times
Just stay in your childhood I am 17 and still plying anything
LMFAO SAME i Misssss this
My goodness, the nostalgia! I remember playing this in 2006-07 I’m currently 19 right now!! Only 00-01-02 kids will remember this!!
My childhood dude,this make me cry really.
i just still hope that any time there comes a sims game like this again :(

pigeon That's not such a bad feature.
That's false. That is just a skin color option. There are like 5 "old" skin options.
HOLY FRICK THE NOSTALGIA OMG
Ha muitos anos atrás me diverti muito com esse game, marcou minha adolescencia!!! Época boa demais, passou muito rapido!!!
The fact that you could move your character with the analog stick made it feel so real 😢 I love this game so much
Omg I still have this game and my ps2 I used to play a lot with my bff back then, it was so cool 😭😭😭 Good times💔
Eyra Osornio me too! My friend introduced it to me because she had it and I immediately asked my parents to get it for me 😂😂😂
Can I buy both from you
is it better than Sims 2 for Windows i didnt try sims 2 For Ps2 Yet !
Sorry I’m not selling them ☹️, but u might be able to buy the cd online, there’s a lot of tutorials to download ts2 for pc on RUclips, that’s how I could play again 🙂

Nostalgic flashbacks
So nostalgic just to watch you play. All the sounds and the music.. I love to remember that times.
This game really made my childhood special. I still do listen to its soundtrack from time to time, it is so good. Whenever I get the time I'll have to play it again like in the old days :)
miss this so much, why life is so hard and not easy like chillhood forever :( life is weird
brazil 🇧🇷
I remember playing this with my sister and brother, good times :')
One of the best games ever. I could watch this for hours and not be bored 😂
EA/MAXIS should make a game like this
With story mode and spin-off
@Victor Antônio - What?! Why did i not know that StrangerVille GP is ‘spin-off’? I have been wondering why Sims 4 have not spin-off version of it yet while Sims 3 has Medieval, Sims 2 has Castaway? 😕
This game was introduced me to The Sims and I wanna go back to the great moment when I play this memorable game :')
When i got this game on christmas one year, I literally played it like 15 hours straight. It was so fun!
I'm getting old watching this ,10 years ago i played this with my brother 😭
Fun fact: the original score for this game was composed and performed by Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo
my 9 yr old self is screaming !!! the nostalgia !!! i played this when life wasnt so great at some stage it was all i did !
This was the first sims game i played, i remember spending hours on it
Every time he turned off the stereo I was like: "OMG STAPH"
My Favorite The Sims 2 :D
Back when you were able to move your Sim with the controller. Felt more realistic.
Oh my god . It feels like yesterday when I used to obsess over this opening scene .😭😭😭😭
I miss this game 😭😭
Tyliyah Keyes you can play it again😊 if you have a pc..😐
I miss this sims game I loved how you could actually walk around
This was my introduction to the Sims franchise as a kid. This game had so many cool features and funny mean interactions.
I used to love watching the opening, I had it memorized 😂😂
9:56 poor felicity dancing to nothing😂
First sims game I ever played, and then I was hooked. God I loved the intro
Me too
The best trick to make friends in this game is it to invite people over then call them to sit in the pool or couch then place an object so they cant get out then sit there with your sim, they will start talking automatically and they wil become your friends so fast. For Example buy the hot tub go in it, call the sim you want to have as a friend over and when he gets in, place an object where he got in, that will make him be unable to get out of the hot tub and now your sim and the other one will talk with each other and the social points will go up to 100, after that just remove the object, the other sim will get out and home and do it with the next one, you can also do it with more then 1 sim just fill up the whole hot tub with sims and place objects so they cant get out they will talk automatically
I'm from 2002 and this is my favorite the sims (the sims 2 pets is also amazing)
This person hates music a lot everytime it's turned on he's directly turned it off
😂 I was thinkin it was because of copyright at first
copyright
Het Heru ohh duh lmao i thought he really just didn’t like the music 🤣
Very 2000s style
Can it have copyright? It is in sim language😂
Memories 😢 I miss Sims 2 Castaway. Those were the good days
Moving the character with the joystick in first person was the best
You should do a gameplay video on:
Crash Tag Team Racing - PSP
Sims Bustin Out - PS2
The Simpsons Game - Wii
Mario Kart Double Dash - Game Cube
Grand Theft Auto The Ballad Of Gay Tony- PS3 or PC
Gran Turismo Sport - PS4
Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 - PS3
The Incredibles - Game Cube
I looked this up for nostalgia. I really miss this game man. Made my childhood.
THESES SONGS WHEN YOU WAS CREATING YOUR SIMS I MISS IT SO MUCH

Ashley Nicole. He's right tho. He also changed his name.

PARAMORE HERE, MISS WHEN TIMES WERE EASY 😭
My little brother and I would play this together all the time! ;w; We spent whole all-nighters~
I remember so vividly the sounds, the smiling, the songs that played on the radio. Means this was a core memory for me as a child.
I played Pets & Castaway for the PS2 a lot as a kid, those were my first sims games. I then bought this second handed and was so disappointed to find out that the disc was in bad shape and the game was pretty much broken, I could only get through the create-a-sim menu.
My childhood was this ❤ EVERYDAY after school 🎉
I remember I loved playing this and I was so excited for Sims 3 because I thought it'd be like this and I was sooo dissapointed.
Still remember everyday i used for playing this game, so happy at that time without any problem😔
The chicken was always my favorite bit in the intro 😂
Daaaaamn! This was actually my first sims game and it still holds up!
*Omg Soo much Nostalgia I freaking love& miss this game never got to finish it*
😭♥️
I miss playing this game… I remember having parties almost every night, lmao!
Omg this game was my life😭 I miss being able to move my sims like this.
man the nostalgia is real af 🤦♂️ this was when sim intros mattered.. when stories mattered ! glad I got to be apart of that era
When you could actually control your sim with the analog stick instead of clicking where he or she goes...they should’ve kept it that way honestly
I prefer the God's point of view
Hear "pressure" make me almost cry🥺🥺
Great memories playing this game for hours on end. I was never able to finish story mode for some reason, though. I think it had to do with the fact that the game was in English and I hadn't the foggiest idea what was going on at times.
THE MEMORIES THE INTRO JUST BROUGHT BACK, WTF. I can't believe it's been 13 years since I had this game! It feels like just yesterday. I miss my childhood!!! :(((
Oooooh bring back memories. I remember killing off my Sims with meals and I love this game.
Watching this makes me want to go buy a PS2 and again and play it.
THE CONSOLE VERSION WAS SO SO LIT AHHHHH
Man I remember playing the sims 2. It was really fun and now that it is 2019 I want to play sims 2 again.
I miss this game so much. Wish I would have taken better care of my games and system or didn’t sell them. I could have had them till this very day. 😩
I never knew that Paramore Pressure song was an actual song…I always thought it was a part of the game, so you can only imagine how in love I was when I realized it was a real life song!
