Hey! I’m not sure if you have it posted anywhere, but what do play the Urbz and Sims 2 on? Your gameplay looks really good and I wasn’t sure if you had any suggestions on how to play them. I do still have the og ps2 versions but it’s a bit of a hassle. Also I appreciate you and keep up the great work! 😊
All my gameplay footage comes from EMULATORS. >:3c
Even tho I own the games physically and I do have an original PS2 (hell, I own Urbz on both PS2 and original Xbox) but! I record with Snipping Tool using emulators just 'cos it's way easier to get good footage that way!
Most of my footage comes from the PCSX2 Emulator. Though, I must tell ya is that while every Sims game works flawlessly on it. Uhh... except Urbz. Urbz is very prone to slowdowns/lagging when playing it on emulators. Unsure why this is when the game uses the same engine as the others (which all work well.) It might not be noticeable in a lotta my footage / gifs juuust because oddly, most "cinematics" don't suffer slowdowns. (By that I mean socialization animations, usually the game's speed always automatically corrects itself for that?)
Urbz seems to work best on a GameCube emulator iiirc (Dolphin, the emulator is called) the only prob with that is... All Sims games look worst on emulator lmao. (Looks best on Xbox, but the Xemu emulator frustrates me)
I've 100% Urbz on the PCSX2 emulator 'cos I'm a patient / chill guy who doesn't mind some slowdowns lol. But it might be a dealbreaker for other ppl.
Another good thing about the PCSX2 emulator is that it's super easy to import/enable the developer cheats in it. And well... they're such fun to mess around with for various reasons. CX
Such as a cheat that allows you to see all Build Buy items in your XAM, which includes some hidden Build Buy items that you'd never find otherwise. Such as... being able to interact with the scrapped Robot Street Performer object! (And being able to access the GameCube exclusive wardrobe on the PlayStation version...!)
And thank you so very much!! I appreciate these messages!! 💖💖
