Do sims 2 fans prefer sims 3 or sims 4?
I love sims 2 and have the complete game, I also have sims 3 and 4 base games with a couple of expansions. I would probably say I preferred sims 3 over 4 at the moment but as I don't have the complete...

I loved sims 2 and went from there to sims 3 medieval, then to sims 3. I prefer sims 3 to 4 like...so...very...much.
My thought process over the years with sims 3 has been:
Oh wow I can change patterns and colors to whatever I want of just about anything!? What? Making replica's of real buildings here I come! Open world? What? Who's that...what're they doing? omgawsh sorry fam, gonna be playing that family for a bit. Oh look over there I can jog across the town and visit anything my little heart contents.
I can, explore China, France, Egypt? What? (bonus they actually look and feel like you're in the country, from the songs you can learn, to the food, the artifacts you can excavate, to learning kung fu and spar, or be a wine...connoisseur. )
I can be a mermaid and explore pockets of the ocean!? WHAT!?
And that's not including being able to change neighborhoods, create worlds, silly random things, silly random deaths...my teen trying to be a pyromaniac and set the neighbors house on fire...
Then to sims 4, Well, the pixar-lite-open up painter-n- paint-rocks-look isn't my cup of tea,
but hey sims 2's noses grew on me...
Oh...no more CAS...okay well I can live with that.
No more open world...okay...well I can sorta, mmm...suddenly I feel like I'm in a dollhouse in a glass box. (really felt like there's a world out there you can never touch or be a part of)
Okay, well not so different from other games before like sims 2, I can try to go back to that feeling.
Wow. Emotions all over the place, and not even what I feel my sim whose based on a character or person should even feel...that's immersion breaking. Why is everything like the stepford wives? And rinse and repeat a few cycles of life and those feelings and I'm so bored...
To me, sims 4 feels like a step back instead of advancement in gaming, it feels like it took everything that was new and different in sims 3 and then double down on making it sims 2 lite. Perhaps that was the plan...
