Gonna make some corrections here: -Baba Yaga is actually originating not only from Russian, but *Slavic* folklore. (And I admit to have pronounced "Baba Yaga" wrong in the video) -The Bella Goth sim that I used on 0:51 is actually the Bella Goth from Strangetown, not the missing one from Pleasantview. They both have a slightly different face structure. Thanks so much guys for pointing these out!

the sims 2 is so creative and fresh, omg.

„Well too bad for you, bianca, I work in the home furnishings warehouse“ is such a powerful line

I have to admit the sims 2 has a lot more thought put into it than 3 and 4

i've been playing the sims 2 since it came out but i only discovered this on twitter recently, but if you have a wall-mounted flat screen tv it can fall off from the wall and turn into piles of rubbish that your sim has to clean up. when i first saw that i was actually so shocked because it seems like such an extra detail to include, the sims 4 could never

A Social Bunny is also a reference to a "Donnie Darko" movie. The main character was shizophrenic and lonely and he often saw a human sized bunny creature which looks exactly like this from the game!

I feel like 200 secrets wouldn't even be scratching the surface

I think the inflatable pig might be a Pink FLoyd reference. Styx is also the river that the dead crossed to get to the underworld in Greek mythology, so it's fitting for the Grim Reaper.

is nobody talking about how death's bio says, " Short Piers: I Like when you take long walks." In reference to taking a long walk off a short pier! haha

As soon as I heard the sims 2 soundtrack I hit the like button, can't resist

I find it so funny that part of Sims 4 branding was their personalities being huge, but their personalities have nothing on Sims 2. Sims in Sims 2 have the biggest personalities and it really makes the game so much better.

Sims 2? In 2019? God yes

If you have a mounted fish on your wall, that greatly increases the chance of the penguin visiting you, even if it's not winter I believe. It will go up to the mounted fish and start jumping up in front of it, trying to reach it.

If more than one Sim in your family has a Social Bunny visiting them, the bunnies can see and communicate with eachother. There's 3 colors they can be, and how they get along depends on their color. Some combinations make them friendly, some make them enemies, and I believe blue and pink bunnies will become lovers.

the best of the whole saga without a doubt, the sims 2

In sims 2, when a burglar is caught by the police, as soon as the police officer gives you 500 simoleons for helping out click the police car and you’ll have about 2 seconds to select “open rear door” in which you can free the burglar and gain a relationship! I think they may also call you up later that day

The satellite is rare, but my sister was playing with her university sim. The sim was killed by a satellite when gazing at the clouds. Sis restarted this and literally the next day, her sim died again by another satellite- XP Guess that one was just really unlucky.

Really appreciate the sims 2 content since I've started playing it again after many years lol! It still has its charm and the gameplay never gets boring even without the mods.

3:08 Well I was *really* unlucky the first time I played this game when I was 10 years old. I was like 15 minutes in, everything was new, I was so impressed with everything. You can even cloudgaze! I thought it's a good idea. My first ever sim in The SIms 2 died pretty much less than a minute. I cried.

Here's a little secret I've never seen mentioned before and only seems to happen some of the time: if you cheat on Dina or Nina Caliente as Don Lothario, one or the other may storm to your house and slap you, basically finding out that you've been cheating. I think this is because, in 2, if you have multiple lovers that live on the same residential lot, there's a chance that one will tell the other, and your secret will be out!

Omg the Roth and Goth family 😂 how i never noticed that

When I was like 10 my mum played sims and had paused it just as a sim was cloud gazing. I think she went to the bathroom or something, but anyway I sat down by the game and unpaused. Not a second later the sim is dead from a satellite. None of us had any idea that could happen and I got so upset that I had murdered my mums sim.

The jump in quality from The Sims 1 to The Sims 2 is absolutely insane

If they released a remaster version of the sims 2 for modern computers, it all over. I’d be beyond happy.

Sims 2 was too advanced for its time. They did an amazing job so it feels like they downgraded with 4

I waited 12 years ... IN THE AZKALAMP

I want a real life social bunny now

When I clicked on this I was like "yeah right, I'm gonna know all of these.." I was shocked when over half of these were completely undiscovered by me and I'm a veteran sims player. Not only do you get a like, I added this to my gaming playlist and you have a new subscriber! Very well done, awesome job!

3) Another fun fact not mentioned about Grim's favorite band: Styx is also the name of the river in the Greek's version of the Underworld where all of the dead go. It's also a very subtle reference at that, too, I think!

Back when the sims had character

Me : deletes all the mods today Onlyabidoang : gurl u might regret this

”hold me closer” by tiny dresser I love sims

The Sims 2 had SO MUCH CHARACTER! Damn, I miss this...

I'm shocked by how many of these shocked me.

It kinda makes me sad that some of these reference are only found in the English version, not all the jokes were directly translated to German... A little fun fact: one of the very cheap pieces of furniture from the base game says it's from AEKI (an obvious IKEA reference) but I kinda find it even funnier becausea few years later, EAxis published an actual IKEA stuff pack for The Sims 2 lol

I only freaked out when i saw The Sims 2 gives your sims hair that flops and not stiff like in a snowstorm

The Sims 2 is hands down best sims game out there - the stories and characters are 100% better than in both Sims 3 and 4

I saw a penguin in university thinking about E=MC. Maybe it was going to apply to university lol

there's also an avril lavigne reference on female teen clothing

The music already gave me goosebumps. I used to play the sims 2 24/7

Gosh your video make me wanna play the sims 2 again.. I miss it soooooooooooooo much

Will Wright looks like Jim Pickens If you don’t know Jim Pickens, what are you doing search him up and thank me later

sims 2: Strangeville sims 4: Strangerville sims 6: Strangestville

I still remember when I played for the first time the sims2. I made a family with 2 parents, 1 teenager and 1 kild. I put them stargaze and the kid was hit by the meteor. I cried

Sims 2 forever bro. I still play the game, have all the expansions. Just can't get bored. Been playing since 2007.

Damn every time I see something Sims 2 related I want to play it again :( Edit: wow, that was a really interesting video, thanks :) can you do more easter egg videos?

The Sims 2 had SOUL. The tiny little details, animations, hidden autonomy stuff, the witty text, the wonderful gameplay, cut scenes, charm, humour (often dark), the mysteries... Gosh, I love this game so much to this day. If I were a billionaire, I'd hire the best people to form a team to create the ultimate competitor life sim game, giving them all the development time, money amd other resources needed to make it happen with no greedy leaders, and would make sure the team is balanced and not ridiculously top-heavy like Sims 4's among other things...

In Sims 2 Bon Voyage, you can place beach lots for your sims to live on and be able to swim in the ocean. You can also buy a pirate ship and place it on the lot for your sims to explore. There is a ghost pirate on board that if you talk to him, he may teach you a pirate song (my observation is that the song sounds like “A Pirate’s Life for Me” but please correct me if I’m wrong about that)

Its Harry Potter's birthday and he is in the thumb nail. Bless this channel.

3:26 Oooh, I remember one year in English class I realized something about the social bunny: it's probably a reference to a play called "Harvey" about a guy who has an invisible friend that he describes as an anthropomorphic rabbit, and everybody's pretty sure he's crazy. Harvey's not as well known as some of the other stuff referenced in the game so not as many people might realize it's a reference. I thought it was pretty cool when I realized that though.

Omg, I didn't know most of them, and I've been an avid player of the Sims 2 since 2005! It's still the only Sims game I play regularly! The secret lot in Belladonna Cove blew my mind the most. I've played in that town a million times, and I had NO idea!! :O

8:48 “making unique people look like everyone else since 2005” XD

1:14 “Styx” is also the name of the river you have to go through when you’re going to the Underworld, which is where dead people goes according to Greek mythology

Omg I did not realize how amazingly creative and detailed the sims 2 was when I was little. They really lost that imagination in the sims 3 and 4

Sims 2 is just so rich with content.

I’ll take everything from the sims 2 plus the graphics of the sims 4 please.

The stereo mentioned at 6:49 is called the 'Fun-Tastic Frequency Stereo from Kauker Inc.' The name 'Kauker Inc.' refers to the last name of someone who worked on the audio for the Sims 2 - Robi Kauker. As well as this, there is a police officer in Pleasantview called Dorian Kauker.

I've been playing for 10 years but still learning new stuff.. 🙃 Such a nice game

I'm crazy about Sims 2, and I thought I'd know all of these! It makes me really happy that you use the in-game sims, it makes it more relatable. I'm not finished with the video yet, but I know that the Brick Rolled was definitely new to me. Most of the object references were! I'm glad to see there are still people willing to make informative Sims 2 videos out there! I've also been looking at that Wil Wright statue in Strangetown for so long, trying to puzzle out who it is. Thanks for clearing it up!

and 11 years later I finally found out how to summon Santa in Sims 2 ahahaha.

I've been playing the Sims 2 since I was 6 years old and I still didn't know quite a lot of these Easter eggs. Thanks for making this video.

Man, the Sims 2 is so great. I find new things every time I play and damn I just found some more. The Sims really went down hill since EA started caring more about money.

The Sims 2 is the best sorry I don’t make the rules 🤷🏼‍♀️

Okay, I’ll admit it...I did not know that 50th Easter egg. Pretty cool there’s stuff that I still may not know about! And I just love the Sims 2, I always hum the soundtrack whenever I hear it, I can’t resist XD

When sims graduate from university in sims2 the memory of that says that they thank their creator Will Wright

Onlyabidoang, I am Brazilian and I follow your channel since last year 2018, and I have been thanking you for the subtitles in Portuguese in the videos :-)

I spent my childhood playing The Sims 1 & 2. I recently downloaded TS4 to give it a go and thought it was awful. Completely lacks the character and atmosphere of the old games. Gonna have to dig out my old computer to get on the OGs again!

Did you know that the flying pig is a reference to Pink Floyd's "Animals" album cover? And also Baba Jaga isn't only russian legend, she's *SLAVIC* folklor character- soooo *not only russian*!!!!!!!!!!

This deserves more love

The low social Sim : thanks for the social bunny Also that same Sim : I'm super hungry can I have a catering bunny now?

Totally crack up at 4:11. Never expected that. Great vid as always onlyabidoang!

Look how inventive, creative and out of the box the Sims 2 is. It is by far the best Sims game, I've felt that way ever since I first bought the Sims 3. The penguins, and oh, look at those... spiral stairs.

16:09 it's actually a Baba YagA, not YAga, anyway, love from Russia❤️

*Me:* "Wait, is there a friggin' Rick Roll reference in The Sims 2? But this meme is so rece..." *Wikipedia:* "The first known instance of a rickroll occurred in May 2007 on /v/, 4chan's video game board." *Me:* "Daaaaaammmmnnn..."

This is such amazing content. I play the Sims 2 since its release in 2004. I knew quite a few of your Easter eggs already but you learned me a lot through this fun and cool video. You got my subscription mister!

At 6:55, the album below Radiohead is Midnight Vultures by Beck !!!

I recently started Playing the Sims 2. only to spam millions of babies and let them be taken away.. lmao

This was genuinely one of the most interesting videos I've ever seen, I wanna play the sims 2 now 😂

1:06 Yes Styx may be a rock band, but it is also the river in greek mythology that souls rode through to the underworld, Hades, so it's kind of a clever pun!

I have played the sims 2 since it came out, and I didn't know some of these! Incredible! Thanks for the great video!

LOVED the video! Also there's a carpet called "Hey Jute Carpet" in build mode and it has lyrics from the Beatles' song Hey Jude :) Thanks for the Mod links too!!

this was posted just as I was playing Sims2! best game!

0:06 *I love the fact that at the top left screen there is a lot where a bunch of MASSIVE decorative stone heads is just staring at the house like it's a casual thing that every village/neighborhood has to have.*

I’ve been playing this game since it game out, I always put Downtown on my neighborhoods, and I have NEVER realized before today that Cold Issue Clothing was a pun on Hot Topic. 🤦‍♀️

Yasss been waiting for this🙌 all your videos are class!

As a French person, I just love to hear you say "bon voyage".

All the details put in the Sims 2 is crazy man

9:49 actually in polish versions of the sims 2 there is a hidden interaction called ,,tug ‘o war” and it’s written there like I did here

This game is just amazing, please do more of the Sims 2!

I've playing the sims 2 forever and I was still new to some things you mentioned in the video, lol

Wow, I never knew about the satellite, so interesting! Also Roth family was something I never noticed before :) Awesome video as always!

Heck of a nostalgia trip there, onlyabidoang. I do like Sims 4, but I admit, I miss some stuff from Sims 2. Like being able to decorate the neighborhoods. That was a blast. And stretchskeleton was always ripe for some fun abuses. XD

FUN FACT: The Summerdream Family and Capp Family in Veronaville is actually a reference to (my favorite) Shakespearean Play Midsummer Night's Dream, the family consists to the same characters names that can be found in the historical play about forbidden love ❤️

Is there any explanation for Santa peeing over and over again? 😂 😂

Back in the good old days of The Sims franchise. Idk about you guys, but sims 2 is the most complete version of all generations. There were cars, complete life stages with their own unique experience, good graphics for it’s time, stable gameplay, deep experiences, best reationship/dating/hangout system, memories, wants and Fears, aspirarion meter, neighborhoods with their unique lore and history, dramma, EXTREMELLY smart sims with real personalities and preferences, good apartament system, a great business system, amazing college experience(really, going to university in sims 2 felt always so real and nostalgic with their 90’s vibe), smart functional pets and the BEST vacation/trips system, that really made you feel like you’re in vacation, and let’s not forget, a GREAT genetics/genes system. God, i wish they could do a sims 5 like this again. There are no flaws that i could point on sims 2.

Excellent job man! I loved playing the sims 2, but I missed most of these easter eggs :D

My childhood was spent with sims 2

4:59 "It just works." - Todd Howard.

A list of easter eggs where most of them are actually new to me. I loved the Baba Yaga house

dude I love your Rick and Morty lowkey reference there *liked and subscribed
