Oh yeah, I forgot that But still nobody asked for Bustin Out 2.

Even if it's the best selling game for 2 years, you can't deny that it's underperforming, and still not as beloved as its ancestors.

I don't see selling 5 million on PC/MAC in 18 months as underpeforming, when The Sims 2 sold 6 million in 5+ years on PC/Mac, and The Sims 3 sold 7.5M+ on PC/MAC in 5+ years.

It's not as beloved, that is true. But everyone threw the Sims 3 under a bus until Generations, Pets and Seasons arrived.
The same will happen when The Sims 4 ends up with most of the content from 2 & 3 + more.

When The Sims 5 comes, everyone will throw that under a bus when it doesn't have what they want that the Sims 2/3/4 with all DLC did.

I was playing Sims 3 and FINALLY got the man of my dreams. We got married in Spring while I was with Child. The day after my wedding he got hit by a meteor and died. God, I never cried over many games but I was literally a mess. I couldn't believe it. I was in shock. Between cleaning up the property with a big belly and being broke and couldn't pay my bills. I had to rush a budding romance i had before with one of the romantic candidates so I could get his money. We had a private wedding and everything but I know within my heart I could never love him even though i had 5 kids from him. I'm sure he knew it. We had sex like 20 times in all of our marriage. What he didn't know was that I was sleeping with my ex-husband's ghost.

Not really. If The Sims 5 isn't a hollow, half-baked mess then there wouldn't be a reason to throw it under the bus.

Anything that doesn't tick the boxes for fans becomes a half baked mess.

There was a large portion of fans who hated the Sims 2 when it arrived calling it "not The Sims" and preferred Bustin Out. And warmed up to it eventually.
Heaps of people found The Sims 3 bad until we had all the EP's.
The Sims 4 focused on different gameplay, but still had the most gameplay of any base game. It just was more focused on "activities" rather than family gameplay.

As I said, when The Sims 4 has all DLC (and will probably have more stuff than The Sims 3 seeing as we are getting EP's and GamePacks), and The Sims 5 comes along with a basic "Go to Work, have a kid, get promoted, go to the park" kind of gameplay, people will throw it under a bus until it has what they are looking for.

It could be a graphical masterpiece, and people will still post their pretty Sims 4 screenshots with Seasons, Pets etc. and be like "I prefer this".

It's happened 2 times now, lets not act brand new.

Does anyone know if it's possible to leave your resutrant open longer than like 10/12 hours. I would like my Sims to like stay at the restaurant to keep things running smoothly, but workers always get tired after a certain time period. I've tried disabling need decay and filling needs, but that doesn't work. Any idea?

It's incredible

If you want Part 2, The Sims 2 Pets on PSP is set in the same world.
Instead of unlocking new houses though, you unlock new Shops, Objects and House designs.

The more Aspirations you complete, the bigger the house you can have etc. The more shops you can visit etc.
If you have a PSP, PS Vita or PS TV I would recommended it.

Or you can just emulate it and play in HD

It's very similar and you play with up to 4 Sims instead of 1.

Really? These games are honestly hidden gems. I'll start replaying the Gamecube version this week and the PSP version after

I'm it's the PSP, so it's obviously not as good as the PS2/GC/Xbox Sims 2.

The Sims 2 Pets on GC/Wii/Xbox/PS2 was trash though. You basically move in, and all you do is complete Aspirations to unlock Pets CAS stuff. Boring.

With The SIms 2 Pets on PSP, you can choose a location (there are 4 in total, the one in the City is the best one imo) and move in up to 4 Sims/Pets. It's best with 3 SIms and one Pet tbh.
Once you move in, you have to complete Aspirations to increase the fire limit (seriously, your whole house will go on fire if you ignore it), and to unlock bigger houses.
Once you unlock Aspirations, you also get "Pet Points" which you can spend Downtown.

The more you spend Downtown, the more shops unlock and upgrade.

But the main idea is you unlock the biggest houses, and work towards having the biggest and most expensive house you can by completing goals.

---

With The Sims 2, its the same, but you move location each time. Because the PSP is limited, you stay in the same location unless you move house.
The console version of Pets has more places to live, but actually has less objects than the PSP version.

---

The PSP version is also the last "official" Story Mode for The Sims unless you count Castaway, but most people think it's just a watered down console version when it's actually different.

the background music from TS2 on DS makes me so nostalgic omg

I actually owned The Sims 2 Pets for GameCube and I hated it I didn't like Castaway too by the way
I'm excited to play though and I'll keep the thread updated!

The issue with the console version of The Sims 2 Pets, was there was nothing to work towards.

The reason why The Sims console games had worked in the past, was because even though they were stripped down versions of the PC game, completing goals to unlock more gameplay, new locations and more objects, is what made it addicting.

The Sims 2 Pets on console throws this all away, and instead gives you limited gameplay with no reason to do anything, because it's all given to you at the start.

The Sims 2 Pets on PSP actually gives you something to work towards, and that's what makes the console games so addicting. Actually unlocking everything in the game.

Yass keep us updated The awesome part about PSP game is that the locations are based on locations from The Sims 2. So playing one after the other, is a nice continuation.
