Dude at 3:20 got shocked so bad his hair grew back

I love nerdy deep dives into sims 2. It’s so interesting to see the complex inner workings of the game

Yassss the ultimate Polish Simmer crossover 😍

You both demystified everything, but the most surprising thing was multiple Sims learning charisma from a single mirror lol. I feel like I’ve tried this before, but I tend to have my mirrors in cramped little bathrooms.

Marticore and April Black ?? A dream come true !

Btw if you live in brazil there's a high chance you could get eletrecuted while fixing the shower because we use electric showers haha.

There's also the OFB talent badge effects! Like higher charisma skill means faster sales badge and higher logic skill means faster cash register badge.

Gosh all of the flavor text and image is lovely. Maid popping out, sims 3/4 invisible pregnancy vibe. playful vs serious sims. I love it so much.

I love how this game turns 20 this year and we're still learning new things every days ! The code in this game might be a "bit" broken but damn it's deep

The coffee table yoga... twenty years later, I still learn new things.

The crossover i needed i can pass away peacefully now

"Avengers Endgame is the most ambitious crossover event in history" April: Hold my The Sims 2: Complete Collection disk.

I can't believe Marticore died and April Black went insane from watching her burn up.

I think charisma is _supposed to_ increase the chance of positive outcome of social/romantic interaction, it’s stated in the „practice speech” want. Maybe it’s broken, maybe they forgor to code it, but it was at least intended.

And yet again, even after thousands of hours playing this game and 20 years passing since its first release, I learnt something new about the game ♥

I love when people discover new things about The Sims 2 many years after its release, it aged like fine wine. Loved you both ❤✨️

Feeling pretty proud that I have the same cc hair as marticore without trying to find it for once 😂😂

Lol 😂 When April Black teases this collab I'm actually thought it would be in her channel but this is amazing as well

this is my multiverse of madness

Never seen the failed flambé animation 😂 nice

Two queens in one video? We don't deserve this

4:25 - Random curiosity that came to my mind when mentioned that "you can't get electrecuted while fixing the shower", because my head jus went 'why not?', but in some countries, showers are actually electric.Like, the water is heated thanks to electicity, so you can actually get electrecuted lol.

oh it is disappointing to learn that charisma doesn't make my sim charismatic lol i wonder if there is a mod for that

Your video about "debugging" and explaining The Sims 2 mechanic is always great and helps us a lot. Thanks so much. I hope one day you can also make an explanation video about roommates' mechanics. Bcs my roommates, every time he/she runs out of energy, instead of sleeping on the bed I provide, he/she choose to go errands, and magically fulfill their energy. And I'm curious, is this kind of specific "trait", or what? I remember seeing someone tell me that their roommate normally goes to bed every time they run out of energy.

Your selfsims look so accurate!!

I guess level 10 mechanic sims not getting electrocuted makes sense, as we say in Poland, elektryka prąd nie tyka ^^

It feels like we'll never run out of things to find in this game even after 50 years, Sims 2 and Sims 3 truly are endless and Sims 4 could never catch up to them even with 100 packs.

Two ts2 creators I like watching doing a Collab!

I wish you talk about social classes in sims 2. Is something no much gamers know, including me before this week 😅I love your videos and channel, greetings from Argentina 💞

I had no idea about coffee table yoga or the 2 sims on 1 mirror. Thank you both!

I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT COFFEE TABLE YOGA OR SHARING THE MIRROR WHAT How am I still learning new things about this game!?

I had always assumed that Charisma made certain interactions unlock earlier, or be accepted with lower relationship score. I always seem to unlock "caress" way before other sims will actually react positively to it. :p

Great video. Now I know at least two things I didn't know before! I remember having one sim that had decent mechanical skill (at least 5 or 6) but would always stab things when "fixing" them. Therefore when she would fix the TV or the computer she tended to get shocked and then set the thing on fire. I think she was more of a mean sim so that's why she stabbed everything. thankfully she never died from it. Of all the skill I feel charisma is the most useless. Especially when running the Headmaster scenario, with a particularly grumpy headmaster. No matter how good my sims charisma is they always fail at shmoozing with him. Always! Wow, none of my sims have ever sold a painting for over a thousand! Now I'm going to have to see if I can make that happen. And I never knew two sims could use the same mirror to gain skill either. Awesome! Even so another sim will walk into that room and shoo them out. Happens every time.

Pls pls pls guys explain how the sims 2 wants and fears work (how it chooses between wants, what influences it, when it re-rolls etc) (Ik april knows a lot about coding so that would help a lot) To me, wants and fears are the soul of the sims 2 and a big part of why it feels like the game works like "a game" and not just a sandbox. Im just starting to learn programming and would take a long time for me to actual understand how it works, so I would love a video going in detail about it 🥺🙏🏼💛

Insane how we're still learning stuff about a game which is 20 years old!

I wish this video was an hour long. This is my fav kind of sim video.

Coming off of an ADHD diagnosis a video about what cleaning actually does is gonna be very helpful Thanks as always ❤

I gasped when I saw April Black in this video, I love both of you guy’s sims 2 content so much. Great video as always

Marticore and April Black are the KZfaq collaboration the Sims 2 community needs. Great video!

I AM SO GRATEFUL THE ALGORITHM LANDED THIS ON MY SCREEN, Y’ALL ARE DOING GR8

3:18 I didn`t knew that electric shock accelerates hair growth XDD

my two fav youtubers who focus on sims, this is a fire collab omg thank u two sm!!!!

03:09 Level 10 mechanical skill also attracts butterflies, apparently. I love that hidden detail.

4:24 brazil 👀 "yes you can"

After playing for years you suspect that charisma actually doesn't affect anything outside of working carrers. Since it is very easy to romance others sims, I think it should be harder and charisma would increase the chance of success, but the game has plenty of detail, so I think it doesn't matters that much. Cheers for April Black, her videos are incredibly useful.

A real dream team! I love these videos that deep dive into the mechanics of the game

very nice video, didnt know those facts about cleaning. kind of puts me in the mood to play again

Collab of the decade actually

crossover of the century

4:24 You can't get electrocuted by a shower Brazilian showers: Am I a joke to you?

the creativeness is the most impressive skill on the game

my 2 favorite simers together🥰

I love this video so much! Love how you recreated yourselves in the game ❤

11:44 all of these years and I never found that out !! *mind blown* I wonder if it still applies to sims 3 and 4

Omg y'all finally did a collab 🤩you deserve more views

Omg you're serious?! I was looking for videos on KZfaq answering this last week, and didn't find anything... and now, you are covering this in a video. Lucky me! :D

I have so much to learn about Sims2.

I had a sim with high charisma skill get a lot of schmooze points (around 30) after inviting headmaster on a house tour but maybe I just got lucky 😅 I also thought it affected how sims react to dirty jokes cause they often seem to hate them. Mostly shy sims but they sometimes react positively so maybe it's random 🤔

LADY BLACK AND MARTICORE? I never thought I would want this.

Few general mechanics tests that I did on my own: -Skills take linearily more to learn. Learning from skill 0 to skill 1 takes roughly an hour (from book), going from skill 1 to skill 2 takes two hours etc., meaning that getting from 0-8 skill takes as long as going from skill 8 to skill 10. My exact experimental values were: 1h, 1h50m, 2h20m, 3h, 3h50m, 5h, 6h15m, 8h5m, 10h40m, 13h, with a total of 0-10 lasting 55h (The best way to test it is to use the cheat that lets you drag your sims needs and start learning skill unaffected by personality from the book starting at exactly 12:00 and dragging sim skills up as they go down) -Super Bookshelf (Teaching Carrer reward) ~doubles the learning rate, and Thinking Cap ~doubles it again, in practice increasing learning by 500% when used together, meaning you can go from 0 to 10 in about 11 hours. -Lifelong Happienes on the other hand always takes ~6h to learn no matter if Thinking Cap is used or not. -TV with "10 Fun" actually increases fun 2x faster than TV with "5 Fun". -The AI preference which one to use seem to be mostly based on distance (ignoring walls, and higher floors counted an extra added fixed distance of like 10 - I don't fully remember the specifics). -Beds have huge impact on the duration of the sleep. To me it seems that the sim is still "getting tired" even while sleeping, making the bed with 6 energy over twice as good as bed with 3 energy (cutting required sleep in half). Time required to get full energy at different beds: 2 energy bed: 8h10m 3 energy bed: 7h10m 4 energy bed: 6h30m 5 energy bed: 6h20m 6 energy bed: 5h50m, 5h45m 7 energy bed: 5h25m 8 energy bed: 5h 2 energy (nap on chair): 12h+ coffin 4h30m? 4h50? nap-on-chair experiment had to be stopped because the sim seemed to be close to dying of hunger while sleeping lol

❤ this collab❣ Hoping to see more from you two, as you are both so awesome, and doubly awesome together❣ Also, just when I think I have learned all there is to know, I still walk away learning a thing or two. 👏 I never knew that 2 sims could simultaneously gain charisma at the same mirror...wild❣

Nice info and something I hadn't really thought of before. And brilliant crossover!

I need April's hair cc so much

Heyy Marta, your voiceover got so much better! Appreciate your content as always

Thanks for this you both! Was a good watch and I learned things I didn't know which is so on brand for sims 2, having so much depth we are still finding out things 20 years alter.

This was awesome! I'd love to see more collabs between you two!

Amazing collab, I learned a lot 👏 Makes me more grateful for so many mods out there that improve the skill & personality systems, but even without those its clear how much more things matter in this game vs Sims 4 for example

the joint slay....

Wow! After all these years I had no idea Sims can burn themselves while attempting a flambé, that’s too funny! 😂

Awesome, I didn't know many of those things

I have a feeling a high charisma level might boost your chances of success when schmoozing a headmaster? But not enough to be 100% sure!

COFFEE TABLE YOGA 🤩 how come I spend hours playing this game and didn't know about this??😂

My favorite sims KZfaqrs yessssssssss

Why does April's intro at the start sound like she signed a contract and is being held at gunpoint to comply? 😂

when the faves interact

I love your vids!! & I love discovering more about this 20 year old game still to this day..

This was amazing, thank you so much!

Charisma helps when you do small talks with the headmaster of private school

So that's what happens every time a kid tries to work out at the military career reward, he immediately maxes out the body skill. I had no idea what caused the bug.

polish power

two sims at one mirror, what :O

Painting is the most rewarding career I feel! As a challenge I made my sim just live on a giant lot with an easel and $0 simoleons. Tough start, but it didn’t even take a generation for the my sim to eventually accumulate $500k by the time he became an elder. I got bored lol. His paintings sold for about $2500 and with Open for Business each brought in about $5-6k.

omg i'm here for this featuring!!! 😍😍😍

"You can't get electrocuted while fixing the shower, can you?" Me: *stares in Brazilian 👁👁*

also, in simpe there is a "romance" skill (i'm assuming this is the same romance skill that you can learn from the mirror), i wonder if this is really a skill and how it works.

It’d be cool for you to do a deep dive into how conversations work - what determines whether they get into an argument or not!

high level logic also prevents you from getting robbed by the bon voyage thief

I've noticed that sims with higher charisma skills are better in selling interactions of OfB expansion

Great video!

omg best collab ever

Hey look, two of my favorite TS2 nerds teamed up. 😊

Omg! Best collab

Such a cool collab, you should do more together ^^

Great collab 👏👏👏

Doesn't Charisma make Sims better at Freestyling? Charismatic Sims can make more money that way, pretty sure

4:23 Brazilians having a % of chance to get electrocuted fixing a shower 💀

I love this collaboration. If you don't mind me asking, which parts of Poland are you two from? Is where you're from the main reason you sound so different, or is it to do with the way you learned English?

"you can't be electrocuted while fixing the shower, can you?" 4:24 well, in brazil someone thought it was a really good idea to have eletric showers, so........

2:24 ''oh no! the crepe suzette is on fire! here! you take it!!''

Thank you for sharing this awesome video.
