The Mysteries Of The Sims 2

1 like = 1 sul sul

this isnt to the fault of sims 2 but after my dad died, me and my siblings each made households of our family with our dad included and he kept dying to everything like immediately. we all kept remaking our us sims families and our sims fathers just kept dying to mostly fires, but also somehow drowned with the ladder in the pool and one time i think he died to a ghost of a previous dead dad. it was a lot to handle

This game also had the most terrifying burglar music. I remember every time it would suddenly start playing my little 10 year old self would be sent into an absolute panic.

The creepiest memory I have from the Sims, was when I once tried to customize a racoon with cheats- the menu opened up and there was the racoon, with it's body stretched into the adult sim model, the limbs long, skinny and twisted. And then my game crashed. 12 year old me was terrified lmao

If your make Dina grieve her late husband's tomb, she'll just shake her head. That is a very important detail, as sims who had low but not negative relationships to the past sim will act confused, like their death doesn't matter to them. Shaking head means the sims were on bad terms.

The sims 2 for the ds was so scary to me as a child. Some of the features were real time sensitive (like "You have to wait 3 real irl hours before this hotel room is built) so naturally I thought I could just change the time on my DS and it would skip forward. It does work, but you only find out about it after receiving a frantic phone call saying OH GOD WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?? and you find out that while you were time skipping, a bunch of aliens have invaded the town and the scariest music plays regardless of where you are and all the townspeople are loopy or angry or just generally unhappy and I remember when I first saw it I closed the game and didnt play it for a while

The Grim Reaper from Sims 2 was unironically my first crush. Something about that mysterious face and those boney hands had 11-year old me foaming at the mouth.

As someone who lives in Nevada, it's so funny to see people freak out about normal desert stuff on the DS game. "The hotel is 70s, the saloon and jail are cowboy western, the shop is modern, and the road stops in the middle of nowhere" Yes, yes, welcome to Everywhere But Vegas.

One of my absolute favorite creepy Sims 2 things comes from the Finnish version of the game. There was a hilariously dark translation mistake in the initial release, though it got patched out. With service NPCs such as maids and babysitters, you have the option to fire them. But the Finnish version had translated it as the wrong kind of firing. Not as in "fire from the job" but as in "fire a gun". People were absolutely baffled when the Finnish version of the game had the option to shoot a service NPC.

I wish that the Sims 4 had the personality of the Sims 2! They actually LOOKED like they loved each other.

I played the sims 2 for a long time. I had a family of two vampire girls living in a big mansion. I left the upper floor completely empty with all the walls painted red. I would lure any neighboors that came by and then try to kill them by removing the pool ladder, locking them in a glass room with no doors, locking them in a room filled with fireplaces and wooden furniture, or any other ways I could think of. Then I would wait to the moment death showed up and make one of my girls start a painting capturing the exact moment of death, and that painting would go on the upper floor. At some point I had to start making more walls into that floor, because there was no more room for my macabre gallery. Good times.

The creepiest thing about Sims 2 for me was the feeling of isolation. Sure, you played in a city, and technically your neighbors were just meters away, but it never felt like that. Plus we had a slow PC as kids, so loading into a new lot took ages, making it rather hard to get anywhere. So it felt like a small island in a sea of nothing, with all kinds of horrors about to lurk in

“Sims 2: Baby on the Grill” had me dying

Omg. I NEVER realized Olive was a serial killer. Just thought she was old so all her friends/family were dead 😬

Sims 2 is such a masterpiece. Being 12 and having my sims making out on the couch in their swimwear on the family computer while nervously listening for my parents. Building self sustaining death houses with my best friend. Absolutely fucking the game with cheat codes and having one of those fire jugglers permanently swimming around on my lot. I honestly think The Sims 2 helped shape me into the person I am now.

Fun Fact: Nervous Subject has major bladder problems because The Grim Reaper does as well in the Sims 2. You can also notice the many bathrooms in the household as well.

The sims 2 traumatized me when my pregnant sim randomly died and I think her abusive ex boyfriend was to blame. I saw her through the window lying on the bathroom floor and my heart stopped. I remember the image exactly and I freaked out and cried. Then I saw that little thing pop up that someone was outside our house and I see her abusive boyfriend walking out from the side of our house like he’s never been more impressed with himself. Days before this he kept harassing her and knocking over her trash can and leaving her letters with flowers at her doorstep. I’m traumatized.

The sims 2 ds feels like a cheesy creepypasta version that someone bought at a sketchy yard sale but it's the official game. Strange town DS is like the rawest example of a liminal space I've ever seen and it gives me the same vibes I get looking at like, pictures of abandoned malls

I was hoping you'd bring up the creepy DS game! That was the only version of Sims I played as a kid and it was totally creepy, especially the part where the longer you stay in the desert the weaker you get and then you either get abducted or pass out and end up back at the hotel and the sim character seems super sick. It made me so nervous I would just spend hours vacuuming or collecting stuff off the ground LOL on the bright side though this game is where I learned what "magnum opus" means

Mrs Crumplebottom getting bitten by a vampire crashing the game left me beside myself why is that so fkn funny 😂
