POV: You are 8 years old. You bought The Sims 2, so you're installing the game on a Saturday afternoon. Everything seems calm.

ah the xp aesthetic was so optimistic. nice place to chill

I love the attention to detail with the icons on the desktop

The internet we once knew is slowly fading away! :(

😭😭😭 I miss the minigames that launched while the game was installing, I wish I could somehow make it work again

this makes me want to live in a Windows XP simulation

I was wondering if you were going to include the The Sims 2 in the nostalgia series. I was happy to see the content. I am this happy after a long time. I saw the game for the first time on my girl cousins' computers. They got married and now have children but this game still moves me. It was great to see people we knew inside the computer. Being able to do things that we cannot do in real life. My girlfriend was a fan of this when I started college. I miss her. I miss the rainy afternoons of my childhood. I have never seen the sun as red as it was when I was a child. I still listen to Simlish songs and I'm still an emotional person.

this nostalgia hurts somehow, so so bitter and ever so slightly sweet :,I

Omg it did feel like this!!!! You brought the memories back, so chill, I was a depressive sad teenager back in 2004, but the sims 2 took me to that happy place and you really revived it!!!! Even the installing screens or going to the sims website made me so happy, im no longer depressive but watching this feels so good, the sims 2 was my friend, Nina, my sim self, our daughter and son, Orlando centowski, so many good memories, if the definition of depression for a 2000s teen was the hoax of happiness playing the sims 2, then I guess I lived that and I’m thankful, so many years I was guilty for having “wasted” my youth on a computer but now I feel proud and thankful of being a teen in the 2000s and the sims 2, now i occasionally play sims 4 and it’s just as good but that feeling the sims 2 gave you was the best thing, it gave me hope, rush home after middle school to play this game, it gave me hope, and a sensation that’s hardly equated

Played this all summer as a kid when mom bought me a laptop. Right now I realize it was my way to cope with loneliness because my parents were always busy and my sister had a depression. It was my first venture of learning to entertain myself... and boy was I entertained lol

Never played sims 2 but I played 3 religiously as a kid and I still do! That desktop is stunning!

Ugh a simpler time 😍

Never stop this chanel! Its a hidden gold gem in UKposts

Yes, I played the hell out of The Sims 2 when it came out and I'm not ashamed to admit it😎i even bonded with my female classmate because of this game

this is the most nostalgic one for me :3 i also just started playing the sims 2 ultimate collection again so i love this video :D do the sims next, that’s where it all began for me. i remember installing the sims for the first time on a gateway computer with windows 98, and my email being an aol address (still is!) what i would give to go back to when the internet was a phenomenon!

This video makes me feel old

DJ booth item with Rave mix track was added in Nightlife DLC, which was released only in 2005 hehe:)

omg the nostalgia! seeing The Sims 2 website made me shed a tear… time is flying.

Thanks for keeping the time machine going! Keep on keeping on!

Sim nostalgia right here. I like this game alot. Even though Sims 3 was typically the best version, the story modes of Sims 1 and 2 were great on PS2. For PC these games has always been fun things to do besides all the other games out there. It's a niche game about simulating a real person inside of a home, it's quite hilarious but at the same time it does bring alot of joy when the fire department comes or when the thief appears to steal your stuff. That's kind of the best parts about this game.

holy shit... the nostalgia

Omg the old triggers of waiting for things to load I remember taking deep breath as a coping mechanism lmao

Take me back.

Please make one on The Sims 1 and it's ancient modding scene. I have such fond memories of downloading a bunch of cars and pets at 30kbs and figuring out how to use winrar. I love your content, keep it coming!

Winamp.... It really kicks the llama's ass!

mentally I'm here...

Thank you for making this video. I have such fond memories of playing this game while I was in my room, in a calm sunny day of summer. I'm so glad I could experience those beautiful moments back then, this video made me remember those days of downloading a cracked version of The Sims 2 on torrent while leaving the computer on all night and then installing the pirated game with a sense of joy, like if you just fooled an entired company and getting the game for free. Surprisingly, I first tried this game because my school bully lent it to me. Sounds weird, but it's true. I considered him my friend, because he was my neighbour and we were bored and just wanted to play. But I was so young and Innocent I did not understand he was bullying me, he had family problems. I think his dad beated his mom. Good thing is, there was still a kid in that young guy, and besides all the emotional pain he could have cause me, he also introduced me to this game, which I appreciate.

I would love to know how you make these videos. Everything is on point.

now this brings back alot of memories

Still pretty impressive the level of effort that went into designing the screens, neighborhoods, and especially the lore! I love how the preset families also have extra screenshots in “Story Mode” to provide backstory.

A time capsule... mIRC brought back memories. I loved how the sims 2 website had profiles with icons showing what packs you owned/registered like badges.

Stayed home from school the day my pre-order copy came in the mail. This game was my entire world at 12 years of age.

Feels like it was just yesterday

1:35 Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel crapped off

now this is a video I've been waiting to see for a while.

feeling nostalgia(I was a newborn in 2004

i barely played or was a Sims enthusiast, the music was legit nice & relaxin'.

this video allowed me the pleasure of discovering ur channel, dope asf content and you have a new sub!! this is just awesome

Damn i had completely forgotten that iconic sim2 main menu music. I had way too much fun getting the sims to swim in a pool just to delete the ladder and wait for the reaper to appear. 💀

Wow visiting the Sims 2 official site T T I can't tell you how much I miss it. The STORIES!! Hands down the best thing about it, apart from the CC (and me endlessly confused why certain CC never loaded properly for me lol)

NOSTALGIC OMG

This damn near brought me to tears.

Please never stop making these Even though roblox is sooo mainstream now i think making a roblox 2008 video would be really cool to see one day

windows xp, the sims 2 and neopets. i miss those times

Lol. I can certainly say that I played cs 1.6 and sims 2 at that time. Half life 2 and Doom 3 too So it's all relevant 😊

i remember my sims 1 is bugged with missing cursor but i still play it without problem

Beautiful

Bro the Goth family is stirring memories, they had a radical house

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! Now I can die happily in nostalgia! Jfc, have you consider making one for CnC Red Alert 2 as well?

Oh the memories

After watching this, a World of Warcraft nostalgia video would be sick bro

great stuff, you should do runescape :D

Times the sims 2 was so fun to play with.

I wish they could bring back ts2 website. There are some (old and ugly but nostalgic) sims 2 cc that i will never have again, but i guess that's in the past now. Still the website was awsome ughhh

Nostalgia

this is so comforting sml

this video is really good it really captures the feeling of playing The Sims 2 in 2004! But can you do The Sims 3 in 2009?

Those were the days

i think this guy have time machine

This is the best one yet.

Hot Sims desktop babe, I give this video 5 stars!

A core memory of mine was unlocked…thank you.

excellent 👍

it was a lot older but i think around 2010 or 2009 i loved mods but i couldn't understand how to log in or make an account in the sims 2 website and i desperately wanted mods

If only sims 2 worked on modern computers, or they released an ultimate collection.

Hey dude! Can you please let me know, if you have a playlist with the music you use for these kind of videos? Really liked it and all of your videos by the way!

I want to do all these too. Can you tell me too? How did you manage to do everything the old way?

I also have the sims 2 and it’s really fun to play. For me it does not crash because my CyberPowerPC gaming computer can process the sims 2. I use a dell disk drive because my gaming computer doesn’t have dvd rom.

1:00 sounds like Vincent de Moor - Artic Duction

20 years ago...

can you make a tutorial for the video you did back in time when you installed steam from 2003?

Holiday Island + Soundtrack please. (Cuban Memories)

SO DANG BRILLIANT

could you do a neverwinter nights video in this style?

this is the best thing i have seen today omg

The Sims 2 website was perfect with Flash. Unfortunately the Internet Archive can't show it. 😥

Vice City MultiPlayer next ? still nostalgia for me and many others

the aesthetic is so ugly but yet so nostalgic at the same time 😭gives me so much dreamcore vibes

Damn I would have loved to live that time but I was born in 2006...

Какой кайф исходит от этого видео)) хочу прежний интернет

If you do request maybe you can do Fear 1?

Nice vid

Flurbatosh! Maser reko! Tubo! ( Simish Lanuage )

The sims 4 will prob be nostalgic in 10 years.

In 2004 I was a teenager. if you skip school, I had a great youth

❤❤❤❤

omg how did you do that?

Sims 2>sims3>sims4

Holy shit I remember the installer

When it will be Unreal Tournament ?

Dude, this video means a lot. Going back to the old times feels great, where everything seemed much more peaceful and happier. Nostalgia is a great feeling. Thanks man, never stop creating vids like this.

Too bad you couldn't immerse yourself in the internet speed. The pace of all the load-up for the pages would be considered top-speed for internet back then. Maybe even NASA level.

Você pode fazer sobre Max Payne?

I love sims

Wayback machine missing images? We restored images in websites archives?

Please Feeding Frenzy 🙏

I only have sims 1 on my clear PC :) And l have sims 3 on my new cellphone :)

A crucial element is missing. Where are the system sound effects?
