Hello everyone! I just released a new Sims 2 Handheld deep dive, where I explore the world of Sims 2 on Gameboy Advance! If you enjoyed this video, it is a similar breakdown of the Sims 2 version on Gameboy Advance, which shares many similarities with characters and the world of Strangetown! Check it out!

It's weird seeing this game as an adult because it's like looking at a fever dream from your childhood. God this game's atmosphere was so weird

I wish we could get more unhinged Sims spinoffs like this again.

Sims 2 for the GBA has you playing as a actor in strange town, where it's revealed that the people in starnge town are in a TV show and they don't know it.

I probably sank over 150 hours into this game as a kid. For whatever reason I was obsessed with it. The eerie vibes were fascinating to me. A lot weirder things also happen when you book guests to stay at the hotel. They give you a lot of bonus missions / tasks and will send you some CRAZY texts and phone calls. I got a text when one of them was sad that was like “we’re all alone… in the end”

You forgot to mention that Honest Jackson just straight up Disappears after the box mission! If you call him and ask him where he is, he’ll say he’s in his office… but dude is legit MIA for the rest of the game!!

They made Sims 2 for PSP as well and it's just as creepy with cults, evil scientists using mind control, vampires and strange werewolf type creatures

I was really scared playing this as a kid when the aliens were invading. I used to get jumpscared so hard when one decided to appear behind me that I turned off my DS. That's all I remember about this game 😭

I liked when 'ports' were whole different games and not just the same game with compressed textures

I have such fond memories playing this game as a kid with my sister and just being confused as fuck the whole time

Thank god I was starting to think I completely hallucinated this game as a kid

The Sims 2 for the DS was my introduction to the Sims, so you can imagine my confusion when I played other Sims games and they didn't have all of... that.

Oh yeah, I also played it on an R4 that was gifted to me by a relative for Christmas!

Fun fact! Due to an odd but unintended bug, after you give the wiggling box over to Penelope Redd, Mayor Jackson will no longer spawn in the town hall, which is the only place he naturally spawns. Combine that with the bomb sent to him and the fact you never see him in the story again and.. yeah, I think I know what was in that box.

The most amusing thing about the Sims 2 ports is that they're all so royally different from one another. The PS2 port was my first Sims game, and while it was a trippy experience in its own right it's nothing like this one or the GBA port. I want to say there's yet another port as well for a different console that its own flavor of trippy but idk if that was the Game Cube or Xbox off hand.

Nowadays if you tried to describe this to someone who didn't experience it first hand they'd just say it was just a creepy pasta or a crappy lie you were trying to tell. But it was just truly how much of a wild west the gaming industry was in the early/mid 2000s.

Honestly, the most disturbing thing about The Sims for me is the pricing of their DLC.

Will you check out "Desperate Housewives The Game"? It's The Sims 2 clone, but there's some weird shit going on in it like murder and stuff. And it has multiple endings

I had this game as a kid! My copy had a really bizzarre glitch that caused it to crash about half the time whenever I did the alien autopsy minigame and took out one of the organs. At the time, it genuinely made me feel a little scared. This entire game has such weird vibes in general.
