The Sims 2's Even Weirder Handheld Games - The Golden Bolt

You get bonus simoleons if you can guess which parts of this script I recorded with a cold :_TGBPrettyCool:(note: you can only cash the simoleons in on my podcast channel youtube.com/@CrubOfficial, I don't make the rules ) For more Sims handheld chaos, check my pal minimme's excellent Sims GBA descent into madness - rumor has it if you annoy him enough about Sims 2 DS, he'll make a Sims DS games video so that you can stop asking both of us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsB6glqZIx0.

I like how ‘murder by removing the pool ladder’ is actual canon within the Sims universe, and not just a weird gameplay quirk.

when i was a kid, the sims 2 ds gave me so many nightmares for the eeriness and the frequent (for me) alien invasions that i never finished it and it still feels so freaky to me even now

Sims 2 ds has an almost ethereal soundtrack to me. It’s bitcrushed to shit, yet sooooooooo catchy.

I LOVED these versions! Fun fact: Tycho Curious (which is what Pascal’s alien child’s canon name is in The Sims 2 for PSP) is officially canonically connected to The Sims 4!

Oh man The Sims 2 PSP, I got obsessed with studying everything about this game lol. They really went a bit off the deep end with it. The Sims 2 DS is awesome too, spent a lot of time playing that as a kid and loved it!

Creating Akiyama in The Sims DS,The Golden Bolt is a man of culture indeed.

That’s wild. Didn’t expect sims2 psp to be a slice of life rpg

Having a look back on the Sims 2 DS made my little happy brain explode with a wave of fun nostalgia and how much I played that card game

Man i love Sims 2 on the DS. I played this game so much and had a great time with the whole alien stuff, the weird music, it was just an experience.

This dropped exactly when I needed it.

The Sims 2 PSP was the only Sims game I've ever played. Imagine my shock when I tried Sims 4 on the PC.

I actually still have my copy of the PSP Sims 2. I bought it on a whim many years ago and have no regrets. I love it so much, it's a great little gem.

So, awkwardly, Sims 2 DS was the only Sims Game I ever played... Don't know if I ever finished it, never time skipped it either (No, seriously! XD) It was so weird, and I never quite knew what was going on, but it definitely felt unique in how mysterious and bizarre it was. People just appeared, and you just had to accept that most of these people are weird lol

A neat thing that nobody else has pointed out (as far as I can tell) is that TS2 on PSP is the only unique port of a Sims game that looks just like the PC version. The game actually uses scaled down versions of the PC models and reuses the animations. It's honestly surprising that not even the home console ports did this, but the PSP one did. (EDIT: IIRC, Castaway actually did that as well.)

i was so obsessed with the sims on the game boy advance but i could never progress in the story because of the alien on my toilet 💔 sometimes it feels like a fever dream until i see someone else mention it 😅

Sims 2 PSP is one of my favourite games of all time. I love to go back to it every few years after I forget the plot enough.

Yes!!! Sims 2 for the PSP!!! To this day i still have my original copy and i unironically adore and cherish that game to pieces ♡♡ yeah the game is sorta jank and the loadscreens are SUCH a pain but this in my opinion is one of the most unique Sims games ive personally ever played besides Castaway, my second favorite ever. It was a sort of RPG lite and i wish we had more like it I only ever completed the story one time but have been going back to it in recent weeks for nostalgia and to do a dedicated runthru of it. Also, Emily is best girl ♡ sorry Bella Goth!

I was obsessed with the DS version of this and the Sims Castaway, finished the Sims 2 but got so stuck on Castaway that I never finished it

I remember the bug with having too many aliens in your pocket, and trying to autopsy them... then your pockets freeze.
