i’m sorry how are you going to make a whole video on this wonderful hellscape of a game and not mention the part where you become a rat vigilante?

so glad more people come forward talking about this game. no one EVER knows what im talking about when I bring it up lmao its been a vital part of my childhood I fear

Putting the clock forward and then back on your DS so your rooms would finish building and having to deal with the alien invasion as a punishment 😭

this game was literally SO MUCH of my childhood. the soundtrack is still a banger TO THIS DAY and it’s available on youtube, from its creator! thanks for another excellent vid salem :)

I loved this game 😂 I played the card game in the casino for hours

I miss the Sims franchise being so weird. TS4 really let us down by trying too hard to market for a new, wider audience and removing a lot of the quirkiness in that endeavor. Like, sure this game sounds insane, but it also sounds like a plot my friends would have told me about their regular TS2 save.

Also:
If you get abducted by aliens you wake up with a wierd wobbly walk..... implying you got probed 😬....

I’m sorry but Sims 2 DS will always be nostalgic for me lmao I spent hours playing that game as a kid trying to figure out the story 😂😭😭

Didn’t play this one but anyone here play sims 2 pets for DS? It was basically just a veterinarian simulator, except everyone comes in asking for you to bathe their pet

Thank GOD someone’s finally talking about this. It was my first introduction to the Sims and I could not get enough of it. My second Sims game afterwards was Life Stories. So imagine my confusion when I finally bought the Sims 3 and played a normal Sims game for once.

I’ve got to still have a copy of this around here somewhere, but don’t know where. I want to go back to playing it so bad. The “secret” desert oasis and alien encounters were my favorite by far. Good to know this IS an actual game and that I didn’t just vividly hallucinate all of it.

I want the little pirate cards mini game to be released as a mobile game on app stores. It’s a good little game and I’d still play it if I could

I thought this was a fever dream I had as a child, I had no clue it was a real game 🤣 the countless hours I spent collecting gourds and rods is wild

I really loved how in that era we have sims2, castaway, urbz like- sims with storylines ! Why they stopped doing that I wonder? We need those juicy stories and socializing too ! I remembered getting so IN playing sims2 on psp and investigating the neighbours' secrets !!

I played this game EXCESSIVELY as a kid alongside Urbz for the DS. both absolute bangers that I replayed more times than I can count. but ngl all the alien stuff in sims 2 had me terrified- mostly because of the music and how they’d run at you. uncalled for fr. but tbf I was in elementary school when I played it lmao.

The hold the Sims DS games had on me. As a child I put hundreds of hours into Sims 2 : Castaway and MySims. And MySims Agents on the Wii, chefs kiss 😘🤌, I literally replayed it last year. The graphics are terrible but that's part of it's charm. I would LOVE a video on any/all of these, you have such a fun and calming way of explaining games.

Audibly hollered "YEAAAH!" when this video popped up in my recommended videos. I loved this game‼️‼️

Is this game an unhinged mess yes is it an icon also yes so iconic that someone by the name of Chrisnewbie on Tumbler remade the building and characters in Sims 2 and uploaded it as a neighbourhood/sub hood a YouTube called Neon Plumb did a neighbourhood showcase that I recently stumbled across

NO WAY SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS SIMS 2 IT WASNT A FEVER DREAM

Really loved this game despite feeling very eerie at times. And the GBA version gives the characters even more personality!

PLEASE make a video talking about all the questlines! I loved this game so much but I fear I will never play it again lol
