As with my Bits 'N' Bobs video, there are a few things that kids done in The Sims 2 which are unrelated to each other but put together as another 'odds and bobs' make a great video. Most, if not all, of the things shown in this video were ever given to us again, such as showing off to parents and jumping up and down on the bed.
The dancing with dad clip, where the child stands on her father's feet while he dances with her brings back so many memories of me and my father, who used to dance with me like this when I was a child at family get-togethers.
So much detail was put into The Sims 2 which made it a really great game to play. Even today, I think it surpasses The Sims 4 for detail and gameplay.
When Open for Business was released for The Sims 2 in 2006, we were given appliances in game to allow Sims to craft items for a home or community based business. This expansion pack also introduced talent badges. These badges were earned the more experience your Sim gained in a certain craft. Once a bronze badge had been earned, the Sim then went on to earn a Silver Badge and then a Gold one. Each badge enabled the Sim to create even better items within that particular craft or to be able to plant a wider variety of seeds and talk to plants in the gardening skill.
One such item that was introduced was the Toy Making Bench. Sims can craft toys on this bench and work their way up from a simple brick to a water wiggler toy. All of these toys can be played with by children and some can be played with by pets! Adults can also play with the kite, as seen in the video.
As all of these toys were only in The Sims 2 (apart from the brick which made an appearance in The Sims 3), I decided to make a video showing how these toys were made and adults and children playing with them.
I hope you enjoy my Toy Making combo video! Let me know what you think in the comment section below!
I have been playing The Sims 2 again in earnest for quite a while and it's amazing how, just after 20 minutes of gameplay, so much can happen as The Sims in TS2 are so quirky!
I always have OBS running so that I can catch all the little things that happen and also the stuff that we don't have in TS4. In fact, most of the things we had in TS2, we never had again.
I have been uploading these snippets to my Twitter and TikTok accounts and Simmers have been loving them! Some of the stuff is related, such as snow snippets and gardening but there are other things that remain one-offs.
As I have loads of "one-off" video snippets, I decided to put them all in a video and upload them to YouTube.
So "Bits 'N' Bobs" came about through having many snippets of little bits and pieces and things and stuff we had in The Sims 2, all unrelated and bunched together in a bigger video.
Now you may be thinking, "if I can see them on Twitter and TikTok, why would I want to watch your video on YouTube?". Well, first of all, you may not have or even like Twitter and/or TikTok but there's also a catch! I haven't uploaded ALL of the snippets to Twitter and TikTok, only some of them. I kept some back for the YouTube video so there will be clips that you won't see on my other social media accounts!
If you're into The Sims 2 or have never played it, I hope you enjoy watching my Bits 'N' Bobs video! If you do, be sure to follow me on my other accounts (if you're into Twittering or TikTokking) for more Simlish Shenanigans!
