Iâm so sad . The sims 4 could absolutely never. Why didnât they put as much effort into the later games
I wish I knew....
EA got really crap. Itâs not even just the sims that suffered many of their games have just become money grabs and they have obviously lost all the passion for making good video games.
Like the premade families in the Sims 4 are so flat and characterless in comparison! It truly is such a bummer
All the effort and money in the Sims 4 went to graphics looking good and marketing. That's why we have such a nice looking empty game
đ”đ”đ”
Actually if you start the beaker family and check nervous' gender prefs before he has any romantic interactions he has a negative score for females! So the game intended him to be gay.
Yep! It's only his relationship with Pascal that is not "technically" part of the story. Although at this point, it's become so just through our sheer will! Lol
what a king omg
That said, it is actually canon that he got into a relationship with a werewolf girl.
@@JhonPittsburg i just consider that to be sort of a beard for him, plus you COULD technically say that annie was only in the console versions so that part could be ignored if u rlly wanted
@@iwakeupandboomimarat Sims 2 PSP is the continuation of the lore though
Another scripted event is that Buzz is coded to always accept an invitation from Olive - despite them having a poor relationship! The implication being that Olive either wants to finish what she started with Lydia, or that Buzz suspects Olive for her crimes... đ
You're right! I always forget about this one because it's not really necessary for the story. But it did happen in my original LP!
One time when I invited him over Lydia's ghost was out of her grave and she scared him to death. đ
I always imagine Olive yelling "WE MADE A DEAL!" at the reaper only for the reaper to put her in her place.
I killed so many sims trying to get her to woohoo with the grim reaper, as she has in her memories! I kept her alive for this sole purpose, I'd send her to relax in bed while a random sim was dieing, then wait for the reaper and try to invite him to join her when he'd appear.. and then got so disappointed when I discovered it's impossible xD :c
I looooooved the scripted events in The Sims 2, they really helped to set the scene and make you interested in the sims stories. We need them to make a return in The Sims 5.
I agree, Adam!
I won't restart a new save... I won't restart a new save... I won't- dammit Cindy! I am restating a new save.
I feel your pain so much. Lol
After I found out that sims 2 had an order of playing households I could never break it đ
Me either! I can never do anything different. It just feels bad. đ
I used to always mess it up and play in a random order and when I found out that there is an order I 2as so confused đ
Its what I miss most about sims.
When I was a kid I used play in strangetown with my cousin. I've never really got into the lore so when we used to see Pascal we would call him "preggers" as a joke, we didn't know male sims could give birth either. When I played into their family the first time our minds just blew lol
Oooh, look at these editing and moderating skills.
Haha! Thank you!! :)
Pleasant Sims when I get the Sim 3 and Sim 2 I want to do that but how to do it we download it from sims store.
And want to see sims to move to different town in sim 2 when I create my sims and I pick pleasant view and I want to go to strange town then veronville.
@@ShantiDoss2000 sims two store is shut down.
I recently reopened Strangetown and went through these scripted events. However I did challenge myself to change Olive's destiny. I was able to rack up enough aspiration points for her to get the Elixir of Life so that she has more time to build relationships with Nervous and Ophelia (I moved Ophelia out and her and Johnny just came back from their honeymoon. They live in one of the apartments that I thought suited Strangetown. I placed Ajay Loner in that same apartment complex too) .
Johnny's birthday party was hilarious in my opinion in my game. He was able to grow up in Platinum aspiration all because he won a fight with Tank...which almost ruined his party but I had him and Ophelia woohoo in his parent's bed and that pretty much saved it.
I definitely agree on the idea that Johnny and Ophelia wouldn't be going to college. I always figured that they would just marry young and start a family young. And with Tank, I always figured he would just stay with his military job instead of college (and that's pretty realistic). So Ripp is the only one I've ever sent to college as a result (and I imagine he'd do that in order to escape his family anyway, and then just move into his own place or apartment after graduation). But I'm planning on keeping Johnny, Ophelia and Tank's age close with Ripp's so I'll have those Elixir of Life's ready to use.
I will probably send Ripp to college too (if he wants to), but I haven't decided about Tank. I'll have to see how it goes this time!
I randomly started playing Sims 2. Didn't know about play order. Sent my Tank to College and had Ripp not go. Tank is married with kids now in the downtown I created. He went back into the Military after college. His wife (also a college grad) is in the medical field. I am kinda glad about not knowing play order, lol. General Grunt Married Johnny's half sister Chloe and had a kid. Since there's no saving play order now, just wanna see what happens going into the next generation.
Olive specter usualy get the other animation for Dying (the high aspiration one), where The Reaper comes with the Hulla dancers, simbolizing that he came to fetch his love forever
Only if she's in platinum aspiration, which she wasn't here. She's very difficult to keep that happy! Lol
@@PleasantSims Gold aspiration also haver this animation
@@itamarmedeirosnettonot for me
The sims 2 is so interesting, I love it
Me too! It's a great game!
I didnât know there was a specific order for scripted events until nowđ I also could never get Pascal to have a boy baby. Whenever Iâve played him he always ended up having a girl!
I've had him have both a boy and a girl. But I prefer a boy! I'll sometimes "cheat" and reload the lot until he has a boy. Haha!
@@PleasantSims I just wanna name the child his canon name Tycho hahq
Same! And I always name her Stella - in honor of Aliens and Bella Goth!
@@jalapeno1119 I just had to reply to this because I always have a girl and always named her Stella too! It's been years. I was maybe 13 last time I played and they were always my favorite household.
Lol same! He had a girl in my game. I named her Venus. I'm going with planet and star names, although if Vidcund has a girl, I'll name her Marie after Marie Curie
Even though Pleasantview will always be my favorite neighborhood in the Sims 2, Strangetown is a close second due to its interesting stories. It's a great place to mess around with supernatural activity which was smart on EA's part.
I agree! I love playing with aliens in Strangetown!
I actually love Olive to fight for her biological son friendship and to invite him to move into that spooky mansion. That would be such a nice move to make it up for all the bad that happened to Nervous
Oh my God, that "LoVe YoU nErVoUs" KILLED me! And that "... curious", Cindy, you're hilarious! This was so refreshing, your editing is top notch!
Aww! Thanks so much Aliina! đ
Nervous is my fave in Strangetown too! What a legend lmao
such a king lmao
@@PleasantSims well they are the curious family
I'm such a stickler for the scripted events!! I'd love if you did a Veronaville video too!
I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL YOU DO VERONAVILLE!!! Veronaville has literally confused and overwhelmed me since I was a kid and the game first came out. I want a fresh start and to do it all correctly :D
Iâve recently discovered that there are certain scripts. I mean, Iâve been playing this game for 13 years, I know every family and their stories by heart and I didnât know about that! Sims 2 never fails to amaze međ
I'm constantly learning new things about this game too! It's the best!
Wait....it isnât canon for Pascal and Nervous to get togetherr? I like how this is a thing we all did anyways lmao. I use to always do that as a kid.
Fan canon, but not Maxis.
its heavily implied nervous is gay (he has a negative attraction to women) + he does sometimes flirt with pascal without any prompting
I mean it's not canon but at the same time....it's basically canon nowadays đ
@@PleasantSims but defo implied ;)
@@iwakeupandboomimarat he did in my game and they fell in love, it was super cute.
Strangetown has by far, been the most crazy and strange town I've dealt with. I've played it many times. 9/10 Pascal has a boy, which I name Tycho, one time it let Jenny get pregnant one more time and she had boy/girl twins. Then the crazy glitch where Ophelia had a memory of having an affair with her own son. Which, never happened so I don't know how that actually happened?
Wow! That is crazy! That sounds like a corruption memory!
@@PleasantSims I'm assuming that's what it was, since I hadn't gotten the Clean Templates at the time.
all of the families in strangetown end up being weird when it comes to them identifying each other as family in some way
This is so well articulated! Iâm so glad thereâs someone like you on this platform to spread love and knowledge of this game!!
Thank you so much! đ đ
Reading the guide always makes me feel like a little kid again the nostalgia is REAL. I used to love looking at the graphics and imagining who the sims would be lol
Me too!!
love how nervous subject just walked up when the guy was giving birth
In my game when I played Strange town, Pascal & Vidcun was impregnated by the same Alien. Pascal has a daughter name Amethyst, and Vidcun had twins, a boy & girl name Onyx & Vetra. It was shocking and funny at the same time. LOL
I'm really hoping Vidcund has twins for me!
@@PleasantSims yeah
I highly recomend to everyone to look at the premade sims memories. Olive Specter's memories has to be the wildest in the game. I remember the first time I went through them and how mindblown I was
Seeing you gush over Nervous and Pascal immediately made me think in my head âWhereâs the subscribe button?â Downloading The Sims 2 right now because of you!
The title makes me feel like I'm getting told off...I dont like it đđđ
LOL. Good, then I achieved my goal!
The prima guide was written before we knew anything about corruption so that is why it says so. I used to play these scripted events but then I created my superdupermegahood where they unfortunately are lost. :(
Also, nice hair!
Thanks!!
Strangetown! I am excited to see this series. Your original Strangetown series inspired me to play with this neighborhood but I was not âa good and proper girlâ and combined it with Pleasantview and Ophelia went to college...but she is now engaged to Johnny! As I watch this I am playing the Beaker household and Loki has been cheating on Circe with clone Bella...!
I've never been able to make myself combine the 'hoods, but I bet it makes for some interesting gameplay!
Iâve been having fun but yeah didnât think it would be your thing!
Also, I loved this video that gets us quickly through the scripted events so we can get into your original gameplay which is what I love about your videos, interested to see where your sims go in this series.
Another cool thing is that normally Olive's left her inheritance to Nervous and a pop-up about appears! And sometimes she leaves a part of the money to Ophelia too, if their relationship increases before her death.
I've been playing Strangetown exclusively lately and I love it. I feel like the stories are much more interesting and fleshed out there. I love this video!
That playing order is really interesting, maybe i'll try to play on that way. These are my stories:
-All of Curious brothers have alien babies. In one my game Lazlo had twins. Pascal always have a baby girl.
- In my last game I've changed Olive's destiny. She married some downtownie and adopts a Child. Her husband had a poor relationship with Ophelia so after some time she moves out. But he adored Her children (she had 3 kids with 3 different sims).
- Loki and Circe adopted a Child (since his secondary aspiration is family but she is too busy to take care of baby), but after that he is abducted by aliens and has a baby boy. She has an affair with Vidcund Curious (because she realizes she still has feelings for him). After affair she gives birth to a baby boy, and Loki thinks it's his son.
Nervious finds a woman for him and moves out.
- Smiths had another baby boy, and Johnny moves out with Ophelia. Before they marriage, he dies of fright (graveyard!). He never meets his baby.
- Tank Grunt married Erin Singles, Ripp hooks up with Ophelia after Johnny's death but he had many women. Buck Will go to the college and he'll meet love of his life- Jill Smith.
Johnny always dies of fright in my game too đ
Gee, your UI looks A-MA-ZING! Thanks for getting me into sims 2 mods, I never knew I needed them years ago when I first was playing this game. ^_^
Thank you!! I love the new clean UI, although I was resistant to it at first. Now it feels weird without it!
I'm going to start playing Strangetown for the first time soon, so this video was so helpful! Thank you Cindy!! đ
I always used to play the Curious brothers first! Mainly because the house intrigued me and then afterwards it was to play with the cute alien babehs! .. the Spectors are my favourite Strangetown family though
I love those alien babies so much! đœđ¶
Absolutely love that youâre playing my favorite neighborhood!! I canât wait to see what youâll do with all of them đ
Thanks for watching Bryanna! I love Strangetown so much! đ
Cindyâs upping her game!! Loved this video, so exciting to see Strangetown making a comeback! keep âem comingđđ
I am so glad I found this channel!! All the stuff on the sims 2 is amazing!! Thank you so much!
I just saw this today and I wanted to tell you I am so pleased youâre back to posting videos regularly. I am loving the new content and the editing!
I ship Pascal and Nervous. Someone else?
YES!!!
yesssssss.
Yessds
They autonomously kissed in my game. I thought it was a scripted event haha
Great video! You make it really easy to understand the entirety of the events and backstories without any fuzz.
And I love the editing!
Just a little heads up for you: when your're talking about Tank crashing the party (9:15) , you use the word rac*st, which might get the video automatically demonetised. It's silly, I know, but I've seen it happen for other youtubers...
Thanks for letting me know! So far, so good, but that's a good point!
5:47 - I'm screaming hahahahhahaha GET IT?
đ đ đ
I remeber that was pretty empty neighbourhood but it was my favourite. I loved all the weird alieny sciency things and premade families. I played Curious brothers and tha household with Nervous all the time
I was partially right on what you were recording đ€Ł god I love strangetown!! I canât wait!!
It turned out to be a little different than I planned. Haha. Thanks for watching!
I can't wait for this! So excited!
Hope you like it! :)
Cindy your content is just getting better and better! i loved it so much, when you say said âi love you nervousâ i laughed, nervous is great tho!
So exciting, but I cannot get over your Last Podcast on the Left shirt!! Love them.
My absolute favorite podcast! We saw them live last year - that's where I got the shirt. :)
@@PleasantSims ahhh I'm so jealous!! Mine too, I'm in the process of relistening to all the heavy hitters right now actually haha
@@Sunburn-kb5te Those are the best ones! I'm also really fond of Side Stories these days.
@@PleasantSims Side Stories are so great, especially during quarantine. I love the in depth research Marcus does, but I also love me some goofy Ben and Henry haha
I'm so damn happy. I finally got the Super Collection for my Mac today. I didn't really know about the scripted events when I was eight or so, but I really wanna do them now. Especially Pleasantview and Strangetown.
I have missed you! Life is just now settling back down to where I've time for my much loved Sims. Time to catch up with your delightful videos !
Dear Cindy,
Thank you so much for all the Play Order videos for the Neighboorhoods. They are so helpful and I'm glad I stumbled accross your videos!
I hope this comment finds you well and wish you all the best!
Cheers from Switzerland!
I really enjoyed this video and the editing style! Yay Strangetown is back!!! đđđ
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love strangetown! I know people donât like the scripted series but I want more of these
God I miss wants/fears, scripted events and memories! Please bring these back
Omg it's like the universe read my mind đđđ I wanted to start playing Strangetown but wasn't sure of how to start since I knew of the scripted events :)
I just started watching you for the first time today but I must say, your energy and commentary got me HOOKED ! â€ïž
Same Iâm obsessed!
Femelyn D I just keep watching her !! Idk if it's her voice, her personality-- she's just so adorable to me! â€ïž
Hey Cindy! Always love to watch some Sims 2!!! It would be really nice to see a video about your favorite custom terrains/neighborhooods! I have such a hard time finding them (specially smaller ones!)
I have some pinned on my Pinterest board here: www.pinterest.com/pleasantsims/sims-2-terrain-maps/
I missed your videos so much â€ïžâ€ïž I feel bad that I can't catch your streams, so I'm happy I can see these
Thank you! I'm glad you can too!
loved the video and looking forward to the next oneđ
Thanks for watching Michelle! đ
So interesting! Learning about Sims 2 more every day. I happened to play Olive & Ophelia first & I typically don't let my sims retire so I let her continue working for a while, just invited Ophelia's love interest over instead of going out, connected the dots that Nervous Subject was Olive's long lost son from the story, brought him over, rekindled relationships, & threw a party for Ophelia, naturally Olive died then too (on platinum aspiration), but her inheritance was given in full to Nervous Subject!
Amazing video! Very useful!
Glad it was helpful!
Ophelia needs to... get herself an outfit! ;)
LMAO! How did I miss the opportunity to put that in the video!?
@@PleasantSims There's always next time! We know sims never fail to give us terrible outfits when they age up.
@@MHS-us1qv That's true! I should have plenty of chances! Haha
I honestly have nothing else to say but yaass !! đœ I love playing in Strangetown and Nervous deserves all the love he gets â€ïž
Agreed! đœ
Yayyyy youre back. Im soooo happy. Missed your videos so muchâ€
Yay! I'm so excited for Strangetown. Like the format on this one.
Thanks Anna! I do too!
Been playing it wrong my whole life đ©
Haha! There's still time to change! đ
I recently reset Strangetown because I decided I wanted to do a rotation with the premade families and this is so perfect!
I just love your sense of humor in these videos đđđŒđđŒ
Thank you!! đđ
I didnât know there was play order! I love this!
Cool! New style of editing! I love it!
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Perfect! Short and sweet getting through those scripted events. What now, Cindy? ;)
Now for the good stuff! LOL
Strangtown is my favorite neighborhood! The Curious brothers are my favorite household and work at getting all three brothers to have an alien baby. Ultimately my goal is to have an alien in every Strangtown family.
I also go with Nervous and Pascal as a couple, and I like the challenge of getting Johnny and Tank together. And I almost always try and give Jenny and Polination Technician #9 a 3rd child before she gets too old. :)
tank coming to the birthday party makes sense a lot of sense to me because sometimes when theres little to no kids your age where you live you take what you can get, even if it sucks
Y-E-S also tank has the popularity aspiration and even tho he has 5 in the Nice/mean chart (meaning he is kinda ok?) He has... like... 0 teen friends? He thinks he is friends with his dad but is not reciprocated?! :( he also shy so I just pretend when seeing his brother Ripp being invited he is all "I'm coming too just to keep an eye on you" like a tsundere or something
@@ShinyShillaI head canon Tank was born when Buzz wasnât a General yet but a Sergeant. And realised in his early toddler years that he will never be on the first place for his father. He was under loved kid as Buzz was always busy with his military duties and left him with his mother. And despite Tank really wants to get fatherâs approval and fights for it, deep down inside he doesnât like being in military. Buzz demanded a lot from him but Tank was born shy, kind and gentle boy, in sure he suffered from his name.
Ok so I'm like 1 week behind but legit is there more to this play order??? As a kid i never actually thought about the events in ts2 that much. Like, at all really. Honestly I'm realizing I slept on a lot of interesting stuff in that game now that I'm older. Thank you for this, I'm like. Head over heels for your channel now.
Aww! Thanks so much! The play order definitely helps set up the story for rotational play, which is how I like to play! I sometimes stay in the Curious house until Vidcund's baby is born before moving on, and you can also invite General Buzz over to Olive's house before she dies. He will always say Yes and that can make for some interesting story since his wife is buried on her lot....
It took me until 7:46 to realize you are wearing a Last Podcast On The Left shirt. I was already going to subscribe, but this convinced me even more!
My favorite Podcast! :)
I love this video & I love your last podcast T-shirt!!
Thanks! My fave podcast ever! I got the shirt at a live show last year!
Man these videos make me so nostalgic. I wish aliens weren't so broken in Sims 4 so it would be easier to recreate Strangetown
how come Iâve never watched your channel youâre so freakin awesome!!! đđ
I think you can only really guarantee that the scripted event will go as planned in the first household you load, since other sims can visit them and their starting wants might be rerolled while they're there. My guess as to why Nervous didn't have the fear of roaches was because it got rerolled at some point when he was on the Curious lot.
I donât usually play the premise sims 2 neighborhoods I like making my own neighborhoods and stories but I think I just might need to jump into Strangetown.
Also I lowkey got triggered when I heard the words âdelete â and âtombstoneâ -shudders-. So many bad memories.
LOL. I highly recommend Strangetown. The stories are dark and fun!
your game looks freaking AMAZING wtf I'm shook
thanks for the interesting videos Cindy! đ„° I wish you success and fulfillment of your desires as a content creator & youtuber when youâre now free from your previous job :)
Thank you so much! đ
I love watching your videos! And I love playing the sims 2 lol I'm playing the sims 2 right now and I am playing the specter family and Ophelia actually rolled a want to go to college and I am going to fulfill that want for her lol
Looking great Cindy!
lmao, i didn't have Johnny grow up when i started my premade run. it's also my first time playing the premades. BUT it does explain why when i /did/ eventually have a party Tank showed up uninvited and had to be thrown out. we were celebrating Johnny and Jillian getting into private school!
Omg! I loved it! You are hysterical. đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł smoooth...lol
Lol! Glad you liked it Jenn!
Wow only a year later Iâm realising youâre wearing an LPOTL tshirt! I love it
I played Sims 2 for years and years, but never played with the pre-made Sims. I had no idea any of this existed!
Love that title made me laugh so much!
Lol. I'm glad you liked it Tilly!
Great Vid! đ
Thanks for watching! đ
I loveee the curious brothers! You think there's a order to play the sims 3 families?
No, you can play The Sims 3 families in any order. It doesn't have the scripted events like The Sims 2. :)
Hey, I just discovered this channel after being f*cking fed up with the sims 4 and deciding to go back to 2 and 3. I only played sims 2 when I was like 13, and had no idea these scripts existed. Do you have a video where you explain the basics of this concept?đ And what is the prima guide?đ Love this guide!
One time when playing with Pascal there was a glitch that made him have 8 babies
When I play(ed) Pascal Curious in Megahood game since 2012, Strangetown is a sub-neighborhood of Pleasantview as a main neighborhood, he gave birth to a full humanrather than half-alien.
Yey! Strangetown đ„° I love this
Wow I never knew there were scripted events! This makes me want to go back and play the Sims 2 again...
Wonderful vid and town of characters! Would love to see all of this in The Sims 3! #fandom
Thanks Rob!!
@@PleasantSims My pleasure! Useful to have the knowledge and timeline for premades! #informed
@@PleasantSims Would love to see a vid like this of Veronaville, and possible Pleasantview, as well! # Sims
Yes Iâm ready!
Thanks for watching Justyn!
personally i've always liked pascal having a girl so i'd name her jenny after their beloved sister, but now that i remember the boy's "canon" name, i'm fine with that too!
also i remember when i was a kid i named him tomato for some reason lol
I just jumped back into The Sims 2 a couple days ago and chose Strangetown as it was the hood I played the most as a kid, I started on the Curious household but didn't follow this order after that so we'll see what happens (especially considering I sent Buck, Johnny and Ophelia to college for some additional play). I'm still on the fence about adding in the Loner and Singles households though, does it make the town more interesting?
Well, the Singles household has ties to the neighborhood so I would add them at least. Chloe and Lola are half-sisters to Johnny, Jill, Jenny, and the Curious Brothers. Erin is Loki's sister. Kristen is the only one not related to anyone in ST. I definitely think the 'hood needs the extra Sims - at least for the way I play. :)
