The sims series in general is so fun. I’ve been playing ever since I was young. The sims 2 and 3 are the best ones. My neighborhood is called Goldencrest Village in the sims 2. I already have a bunch of things built including a expensive mansion and my best advice is to get an idea of what you want to build before you start building, otherwise your builds look like those ugly box shapes that I used to build back as a child.

[@loonaplum]

Yes same! Sims is a game I’ll always come back to 😇
Great advice too! ❤ I’ll always just come up with something random or look up house plans on google and replicate that ✨

[@fermi-dirac]

please do a showcase of each of all the neighborhoods that you've made throughout the years !! it would be really fun to see :) I love how the sims 2 community is still so active and creative, truly a game with almost infinite possibilities hahah

[@loonaplum]

Ooh that would be fun! ✨ I’ll have to see if I even still have access to them 🙈 I’ve switched computers numerous times since getting it on origin 😅😂

[@jacksoncook343]

I really like your content and you should make more tutorials for how to do world-building in Sims :). but I would really recommend and upgrade to your mic / recording equipment. it could improve quality by a ton!

[@loonaplum]

Thank you so much I appreciate it! ❤ Planning to make more soon!
I try to kinda enhance the quality a bit with adobe audition but I’m not too knowledgeable with audio editing 😅 It’s either that or the mic I’m using 😂
I’ll have to fiddle around with it a bit but I do appreciate the advice!

I miss Sims 2. Im on Sims 4 rn but miss this.

[@loonaplum]

😊 I always switch between the two of them! Depends on the day what I feel like playing haha❤

[@derpieeez]

@@loonaplum Thats nice! I wish I can have more time and storage to do that also haha. 2 and 4 is my favorite among the 4 version.

[@loonaplum]

⁠​⁠@@derpieeezI feel ya I’ll typically play once a week since that’s all I have time for!
2 and 4 are my favorites too! 💚 I never was able to get 3 to run properly 🙃

Hi, I plan to maybe get SIms 2 for ps2, so I have some few questions:
1) When you create freeplay world, are you able to create own sims or are you given a random generated sims family?
2) Can you custom your neighbourhood in freeplay mode, like houses, other sims etc?
3) Can you create teen sims in freeplay mode?
:)

[@loonaplum]

I actually never played sims 2 on playstation so I’m unsure 😭😭😭 if I had to guess it’s probably a lot like pc 🤞🏻
1) so yes to creating your own families
2) yes to customizing houses
3) I think yes to creating teens but an adult has to be in the household
hoping someone who’s played it on there and sees this can confirm for you!

[@danielmedjedovic7068]

@@loonaplum Awesome thank you so much for responding! :)
Happy to hear and yes cant have teen sims live alone xD
