    I loved playing the Sims 2 when I was younger, but I played it when I was like 8 (I'm currently 16) so I hardly remember any of it. All I do remember is that I played it for probably hundreds of hours and I never got bored. I loved the way the sims looked and I still do. I wish that they would make a Sims game with the graphics of the Sims 4, the open world of TS3, and everything else from TS2. I'd never leave my room again if I had that

    As you say, they all have their pros and cons. TS1 has the nostalgia, TS2 I've played the most, and TS3 really fixed a lot of things that were missing from TS2. So it's a tough call and I'm not sure I can say which I'd choose.

      My tier-list of the series.
      1. The Sims 2 (Warm, attractive art-style, excellent soundtrack, bags of character and comprehensive gameplay.)
      2. The Sims 1 (Nostalgia of course, but also a wonderful, unique art-style, the best soundtrack, of course lacking in some gameplay mechanics, but filled with charm.)
      3. The Sims 4 (Lovely soundtrack, overly cartoony but at least attractive and focused art-style, ultimately much less character and fun gameplay than TS2. Far too many packs.)
      4. The Sims 3 (A great game for most I'm sure, but the game is so offensively ugly visually I just can't get in to it. Also never really cared about an open world, and the constant in-game monetisation of single items, outside of the annoyance in breaking the 4th wall, is just obscene.)

      the thing I dont like bout 3 is its performance issues which dont go away completely with better hardware as its a problem with the programming. the game even tells you to better not run more than 3 or 4 addons at one time. If it would run smoothly I would love to play ts3 all the time.
      One thing thats very my own issue was the aging. I played years with my sister in the same self created neighborhood in S2 by the end we had over 100 households. Two gigantic families who made up 40% of the population. My own was in like generation 14. we intertwined some of our sims. and had a whole lore. All shops were owned run and had employees of sims who lived in the neighbourhood. With ts3 and the aging we had to play different neighborhoods and I think we never got too much into it because we couldnt play "together" like we did in TS2

    Sims 2 had the best base game in my opinion. Although when I began to play the Sims 2 my only disappointment was the fact that the music from The Sims wasn't on it and it wasn't the same composer. He was awesome. The build music was so relaxing. I ended up putting the music from The Sims onto The Sims 2 and whatever music I wanted (Another thing that made the game awesome). Sims 2 was so customizable. So I guess I can't complain since I could change it.

    Sims 3 has more gameplay features and rewards you more for making an effort with your sims. It ties skills to careers, really allowing you to feel responsible for your sims' successes. However, Sims 2 was more generous with what they gave; multiple neighbourhoods, neighbourhood creation, aliens, falling satelites etc. straight out of the box. NO EXPANSIONS NEEDED.

    The sims 2 was better than 3 in alot of ways. Sims 2 barely had any rabbit holes you could go into every store and restaurant they had, They actually GOT IN AND OUT of their cars and used their garages and didnt teleport everywhere randomly. Theres alot of little things they took off from the sims 3 that the sims 2 had thats why I miss it. Hopefully the sims 4 makes up for it

    • @Lukeno52
      @Lukeno52 9 лет назад +19

      Rabbit holes were only present as the game couldn't really handle any more open lots, and I never found them as intrusive as many other people. Then again, I rarely dined out, and that was one rabbit hole that did annoy me. The teleporting in TS3 was also a tad weird, as was the way they used the cars. Sims 4 should've been the best bits of TS2 and TS3 , plus the new emotions system, and a properly optimized game engine... if only.

      if you have an unused sims 2 base game or expansion pack code, go through ea's support. google 'contact ea', click the first link, then pick sims 2/pc/codes/other..say something like "i have the sims 2 but can't register it on origin/don't have the disk, i have pets but no base game to play it (that's the one i did). i went through 3 guys with all that info, gave them my unused pets code, they asked for my username and email, and eventually i got the ultimate collection code from them!! some people you get will say they can't help you, the promotion ran out, etc, but it absolutely worked for me. just don't mention that you're trying to get the promotion. and it was free, best of all!

    Holy hell, 11 years and I've only just realised it's called Veronavilla after Verona from Romeo and Juliet. And I only realised it then because you pronounced it "Ver-oh-na-ville" whereas I've always read it as "Ver-aw-na-ville". As someone with a degree in English I'm ashamed of myself.
    Also, you said you hoped Sims 4 would be more like the Sims 2. With no open world, less customisation and loading screens everywhere, sounds like you got your wish ;)
    Also I know it's cynical but I'm confident they took away the body shop for Sims 3 and 4 in order to encourage consumers to PAY for custom content.

      @willywonka1236 5 лет назад +1

      Sims 4 actually has open world (only between neighborhoods) but you should give Sims 4 another chance (although I'll stick to my Sims 2) I occasionally play Sims 4 because of how well it runs and the fact that they didn't attempt realistic Sims and fail at it like Sims 3. The cartoon style of Sims feels like the game that Sims was always trying to be. When I play Sims 3 it doesn't feel like a Sims game. TBH it should be it's own thing and Sims 4 should be the Sims 3. Don't pass Sims 4 off as bad, it may have had a rough first year ( more like years) but the team behind it actually care about it in a way that I couldn't imagine understanding. but just know that when you put Sims 4 off as a "terrible" game, you are only fueling problems. Sims 3 does have great gameplay, but it felt like I was playing a game, not a life, like it should feel. You can change to accept the game like I did. It's not bad, they just tried replicating nostalgia but at the cost of rolling back on some things like total open world.

One of them just ended up not playing it and cutting it off because it took so long to load.

I actually timed how long it took for the sims 3 to load on my potato computer, the shortest it ever took to load was 11 minutes, longest was 1 hour 13 minutes. It didn't help that the sims 3 LOOOVED to crash if I wasn't too careful with mods, and frame rate was almost always at 10 frames a second. I still have over 1000 hours on steam.
