Do sims 2 fans prefer sims 3 or sims 4?

TS2 absolute favorite of the series! Next would be 1, though admittedly this is from memory as I don't currently have it loaded on any machine and am not sure it plays well with XP . I never could get into 3 in spite of several attempts. What kills it for me are: no story telling capability, all the sims look alike, and the restriction of only 1 family per game save. It does have some nice features as I like the idea of open worlds and the colour wheel is great. Having horses, too. One of my sims actually started making friends with a unicorn! Oddly, the game runs better on my old (originally Vista) HP machine than on my new high-powered Dell. Both are Windows 10, so not an OS issue. 4 is sort-of OK, but again no proper story telling, no proper rotational play as the game still advances time for everyone even though I can turn off aging (sims even make babies on their own), no end of bugs, and as others have said it simply lacks that special something. It's like ordering a car, expecting a shiny new Buick Electra, and getting a worn out and beat up Toyota instead.
