Sims 2 is a 2004 game and it aged like a fine wine, I will never forget the Sims 2 baby grilling mod

making a game with the CAS, graphics and build mode from sims 4 and the gameplay and personality system of sims 2 would make a truly perfect game

Watching her place all those bushes in the Sims 2 was so stressful knowing that if you were to play with that house, it's a full time job trimming them/you'll have to hire a Gardner to come every other day 😅

Sims 2 definitely requires you to build bigger and wider houses than what we can do in sims 4, because of sizing and slotting and stuff. Which I think explains why EA houses are classically known to be huge and empty 😂

She should make a Sims 2 let’s play. It would be fun for us to see her cute reactions to all the differences between sims 4 or even sims 2. I would love to see that. Anyone else agree?

Sims 2 build tip: you place a driveway extension inside the garage structure in order to place the garage door. That said, using the space for a bedroom and bathroom was a much better choice

I remember building giant squares in the sims 2 and feeling like an architect

what i want more than ANYTHING for the sims is a nostalgia pack. just full of all the iconic stuff from earlier sims games like the heart bed, ts2 career items. for ts3 i’d love it if they brought some of the classic basic furniture back featuring the iconic create a style patterns like the ocean pattern that i can still see in my dreams 💀💀💀💀

The moment she realized the greenhouse kit isn't aa new idea and is actually recycled from the Sims 2 💀💀 I didn't even think about the fact that some people don't know that was in an older Sims game

As someone who started on the tale end of the original Sims, and the beginning of Sims 2, It is so weird to see it again, and remember the hours I would spend in it. It's also INSANE to me that people started with Sims 3 or even Sims 4, like I can't compute that they didn't experience all that the Sims was. There were so many fun things in The original Sims, like the scuba tank. I remember being SO confused and frustrated when the Sims 3 didn't have house phones, is that right? it's been so long.

Imo, the art style from TS2 is still unmatched. It was so good for the period it's from, and I think it balanced perfectly between realism and cartoony. I'd love to see a move back towards that style.

I’ve gotta say as a long time Sims 2 player and builder it’s sooo nice to see someone who isn’t too familiar with TS2 really giving it a fair shot! It’s hard to build in the game you’re not familiar with, I actually have the same problem if I try to build in TS4! I would really love to see a video where you maybe try out some of the different build mode cheats for TS2 that let you do a little bit more (quarter tile placement, off grid etc) and see what else you can do!

Just so you know in the future, the Sims 2 dormers are basically just rooms! And you could have just made the garage bigger to fit the driveway extension ❤

I lived for the Sims2. The original wall paper you chose for the living area sent me back. I used that one in every house.

At only age 30....I've never felt more old than I did when she said she was around 4 when Sims 2 came out😔😅I was 12 lol

the thing everyone always forgets about the sims 2 was the body shop. i've always been a builder in the sims but ts2 body shop made me want to make sims just so i could make them band shirts that i couldn't have in real life

I love this; I wish you had shown a side by side comparison of the 2 builds when you were done.

Sims 2 top tier! It's ages very well and I'm still learning so much

Kayla, you don't know how much your videos help me with my anxiety! I'm from Portugal so I get a notification every day at 8pm (like right now) and I just stop everything to come watch your new video. Thank you so much ❤

one of my favorite features of the sims 3 is that people could break into ur house.

I've noticed with the last few kits, they've included a ton of easter eggs to the older games. Love that.

a pool table would be SO GOOD in sims 4. with that and the basement stuff and some other things you could really make a basement game room/man cave room. i love that

Another fun video Kayla! As an avid Sims 2 player for many years, one of the cool things about the wallpaper is that some choices help sims skill building or moods. The kids wallpaper for example helped them learn. It was pretty awesome !😅

The Sims (original) was my first Sims game. That loading screen gives me such nostalgia. I saved enough money to buy the mansion without cheats. Good times.

Oh the nostalgia! I remember always putting love seats in front of the television so that I could center them. And it cracked me up that you gave up on the garage once you realized you needed a garage floor for it to work!

As someone who played a ton of Sims 2, watching you realize all the frustrating quirks of Build Mode in real time was a trip down memory lane.

Please more sims 2 content. This was so much fun.

Watching this knowing how to build in sims 2 was a fun experience

As a 23 year Sim veteran, I'd love to see Kayla do this same build in Sims 1 and suffer... I mean experience building like we did. 😏

it is so coool to visit the past games/entertainment. Last week i decided to rewatch gilmore girls and it is so cool to see people actively using crt tube tvs, pagers, LANDLINES and huge cellphones. Like, its been so long ive seen one of those in person, nostalgia hit me hard

I’ve lost count of how many times I have asked for a build dedicated to Snap, along with a cat cam ❤

Not the floor plan being the growing together downstairs floor plan that simsie built for the expansion lol

God, this is just making me realize how nostalgic I am for the sims 2

Whenever I’m feeling a little anxious, I put on simsie’s videos cause it’s like something comfortable and familiar

lilsimsie is so young! 😭 I was born in '89 (I'm old, I know), so I grew up with the Sims 1. I was a bit late to the game (ha ha) for Sims 4 and only got it a year or two ago, but I was so amazed that every sim just gets a smartphone and I didn't have to place a landline phone somewhere in the house! 🤣 I'm also so, so glad they got rid of some of the things I hated: the school bus/carpool thing so you can now send your sims to school/work late, the random burglars that come and steal your stuff, and the loud, ominous DA-DUH sound when something bad happens. That always made me jump! The tragic clown has always been a thing, but it used to be that he showed up when you were having a party.

Could be really interesting seeing you try the Sims 1 for the first (?) time. In retrospect it's probably the most different out of all 4 of them.

I love the rug you picked at the end for the living room. It perfectly pulled together all the colors in those rooms. :)

I did not expect to relate to so much of her nostalgia, being a person who only played the Sims 3 and now the Sims 4. I remember being able to color/pattern things differently than the set swatches, and having those little kids’ play kitchens.

YEAHHH SIMS 2 SIMSIES BACK

i laughed out loud so many times throughout this video! thanks for always posting great content! You're so creative to continuously come up with all these ideas for builds!

Do the same house in all the sims, 1,2, 3 & 4!!!!!

sims 4 build, cas, and graphics + sims 2 gameplay & gameplay mechanics = my perfect sims game

We need a sims 2 let's play from you!! I'm begging

i love these trips down memory lane! my first sims game was mysims wii and my first pc sims game was the sims 2! i may be a year younger, but i have an older sibling and her best friend introduced us to the games. it took 3 hours to download on our crappy pc and then would constantly crash while in game 😅 i wasn't allowed to play/couldn't afford the sims 3, but i did play mysims kingdom, the ds format mysims games, and i love playing the sims 4 :)

Anyone else think this house looks very similar to the one she built for growing together without the second floor? Super cute though!❤

Definitely think we should try it in the sims 3! Or really any building videos in the sims 3! Interested to see how things compare.

My first Sims game was sims 2 pets on ps2 and also Mysims on the Wii. Those games will always have a special place in my heart.

Few days ago I installed Sims 3 on my husband's PC and was like 'is this terrain paint still loading?' but nope, it just went way downhill from Sims 2, that we managed to run in 2k on Windows 11, took some time but it was so worth it. I like Sims 2 graphics style, it's really detailed considering how old this game is. Also how on earth it never crossed my mind that you can use cheats to place stuff on half tiles in Sims 2?!

Sims 2 was my first sims game, and I still play it more than Sims 4 today! The simplicity!!! The chaos!!! But it never had upper cabinets except for like a few decorative plate racks and a nectar shelf!! But I remember getting sims 3 and it had upper cabinets and I was so amazed 🤣🤣 I would love to see you do a main channel legacy gameplay in sims 2 or a rotational gameplay series would be amazing too! ❤️ Lovely video Simsie!! 😍😍

for the sims 5 i hope we get the graphics of sims 4 but the gameplay of sims 2 and the color wheel from sims 3. That would be superior edit: I would love to see you do this in the sims 3 instead of sims 2 my frist sims game was also sims 3 so it would be really nostalgic

14:46 this is the moment that I realized that I can convert anyone to loving the Sims 2, it is the best version of all of the games! Thank you for doing this because this is everything for me. I am an OG simmer played the original and was super thrilled when Sims 2 was going to have fingers instead of flat weird hands and I still play the game and I’m 42! My oldest daughter is almost 20, just so you have some kind of understanding of how close in age you are to her. I’m so super happy that you enjoyed the sims 2, even briefly I’m trying to get my 13-year-old to love the game too but she’s still too far into Sims four to care.

I had the same growing up! I loved the my sims series on the wii and then transitioned to sims 3 and was obsessed

I LOOK UP TO U SM LILSIMSIE UR THE BESTTTT

Simsie not calling THIS her prime gaming era is golden

There's some interesting pre-made house builds in the bin(?) options in neighborhood view in Sims2. May be fun to judge or reno any of those. Or compare some packs and items between the two games.

That turned out so cute!! It was fun watching you build in sims 2, I think it would be fun to watch do the same with sims 3. ❤

when you get here in 30 seconds n dont know what to say

I was born in 2005 and yet the sims 2 was my original sims game. I played it from my very young childhood up until my mid-teen years. I still have a huge soft spot for it.

I enjoyed this video! The front door you used for The Sims 2 house is the one I frequently used for back doors in smaller homes. And you used my favorite countertops! This video is heartwarmingly nostalgic! And also The Sims 4 is the only version of The Sims that I have never played. So, I enjoy watching content that catches me up on what I have missed throughout the years. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I hope one day they make a megasupersonic Sims version that has all of the best things from every game to make The Mother of All Sims Games 😎

Love seeing you enjoying Sims 2. I loved it back in the day. I'd build giant castles and everything. I struggle to get the same kind of buildings done in the Sims 4 (3 floors are just not enough). I loved controlling the entire neighborhood, playing with each family for a couple of days to keep the timelines correct.

I never got to play any of the sims games as a kid but this gives me so much joy to watch. Also this whole game and the style is giving my grandmas house in like 2006 😂in that absolute best way. Like I want to go hug her, make cookies, and watch Saturday morning cartoons.

Love this video and also you can see how much she cares about her audience. And her videos are so amazing!😊😍

I remember the PAIN of actually having to tend to all the landscaping 😭 my flowers always died cause i forgot to water them

I started with the sims 1 and I don’t think I’m old(62) still playing and loving it.

The baby grilling mod in sims 2 was the best

Honestly, ALOT of the items from TS4 are from TS2 and with the new kits, they are adding more of them! I absolutely LOVE the items in TS2 and I wish EA would just add more of the same wallpapers and the freetime items as they are soo much fun!

I would actually love waaaay more sims 3 content, since it’s also the game I started playing with. Like a full on Let’s play series in the Sims 3 would be so so cool!!!

2 videos in one day I’m spoiled

Not me forgetting that she usually has Rick in her background and thinking she has an actual body on the floor 😵‍💫🤣

When making garages, have you thought of using the DIY Garage Mural from City Living? It's not perfect, and only visible from outside but mostly works for looking like a garage, and has the added bonus of being something your Sims can paint on.

My first ever playing The Sims was when I was about 9 years old. At my cousin's computer. Also tried Sims 1 once but I fell in love with the Sims 2 and horrific stuff happened when I played for the first time. 😂🙈 I totally agree with Kayla, the EA Team should make another stuff Pack with those epic contents we may miss from the former games. To return our favourite contents. As well as the social bunny. I absolutely loved it❣️

I love the gameplayablilty of that house in sims 4 and you made me miss SIms 2 !

This would be fun to do in every game! Loved the video!

perfect timing!

Omg no bc I love this, the build mode and everything abt it!

This was fun! I'd love to see more comparison vids like this!

I love going back to th old sims games and seeing what was considered stylish back when the game came out. Like looking at the TVs in the sims 2 vs the sims 4. Oh how we've changed!

i would LOVE a Sims 2 series. It doesn't have to be long. Just like a couple episodes of struggling!

Love seeing this, brings back memories. If you had Sims 1 you would really be frustrated with building in that one. But I liked to play with Ophelia and Gunther Goth. They had a huge house.

MySims kingdom is my favorite nostalgia game to play! we used to rent it to play as a kid, and I recently found a copy online and have been replaying it :)

I still have my Sims 2 CDs somewhere in the basement 😂😂 I loved it soon much ❤ and I was so happy that we got the greenhouse kit for the Sims 4!!! ❤❤

I love pure emotions of Simsie playing the sims 2!

Ngl, seeing this video brought back so much nostalgia 😭 I grew up playing sims 2 because my mom had all the expansions. So while I was really young when it came out (born in 2000 ✌️) it was the game of my childhood. Seeing the tile swatches really unlocked memories.

I wanna play the sims 2 so badlyyy

I love this video! You should do this with the sims 3!

and i 100% want to be able to change the cabinet and counter color separately. and it'd be nice to have a cabinet or drawers option for counters like, y'know, a real life kitchen has

Watching this takes me back. It'd be cool to see simsie build a blue suburban in Sims1

This video is seriously so good. It probably took a lot of time but I really enjoyed it.

I was introduced to the sims when a college student who was a family friend of ours was renting the spare bedroom at our house for a very reduced rate, and she let me watch her play the sims 3 i was instantly obsessed but my parents wouldnt let me get it for several years because theyre a bit... opressively protective sometimes, and they didnt like that woohooing existed/were worried id get the wicked whims mod (or maybe they thought that was an automatically installed feature? im unclear on the specifics)

love this video and how you are discovering from the scratch almost

I must say, I'm very lucky to have played the sims 2 when I was a child. I was born in 2000, so I used to play it when I was around 6-8 years old. my brother made me a heart home and my biggest happiness was to garden, fight death in a violin contest and cheat to be rich hahahaha

Have I perfected ghe simsie time?? Just gotta stay up everyday till this time so I can watch a simsie video and sleep

sims 2 is literally my whole entire childhood the sleepless nights I had 🤣 luckily I managed to buy all the packs from ebay and its been so amazing to play after so many years. love your videos ❤

I got such nice nostalgic vibes from this. I orginally played the sims and grew up with sims literally from being 6 years old. So this was my childhood

its so funny to me seeing kayla going through the ts2 catalog and finding all the stuff in ts3, where i'm seeing some of the stuff she's pulling out like omg they updated that and brought it into 4 😂 so nostalgic 🥺

try to build in the sims 1!!!

As a Sims addict since Sims 1, Sims 2 music is the top tier for me.

This brings so many memories. I used to use most of the items, i am gonna cry

Conversions of some iconic wallpaper from ts2 and ts1 would be so fitting because Y2K is "in" rn. And TS2 and TS1 are the pinacle of Y2K

All that we wished for as children was basically a new Sims 2 with halftiles and placing furnature diagonally. Always loved all the little details. Like the firefighters rushing in when it burns, the police when someone broke into the house, the different cars picking you up for work , etc. The expansionpacks were so well planed and had everything we could imagine. BUT yes, the build mode in Sims 4 is so much better and really gives the game so much more dynamic and freedom.
