I'm really missing Sims 2

I agree with you 100% FurSimsOfficial !

Sims 1 and 2 ought to be released on origin. There are a lot of people who would love to play those games.

The answer to the TS5 question, re-release TS2! I have both UC on my Windows 10 machine and the disk version on XP machine, and play time ratio is about 50:1 over TS4.

I began my whole gaming experience with Sims2. I loved it immediately. However, I made the jump to Sims3 and it wasn't at all what I had expected. The Sims themselves weren't even close to being 'smarter' as advertised and the trait system lacked, too. Why bother having a favorite color, if your Sims won't react to it when their bedroom is fully decked out with said color (tastefully). While I loved the idea of the open world, we gave up much too much for it. The Sims themselves were no longer as lively or funny as they were in Sims2. Don't even get me started on the ghosts. Sims2 ghosts are STILL the best!

When I finally researched Sims4 and decided to give it a go, it was with the caveat that unless EA wowed me with this new iteration, I wouldn't spend another penny on it. Suffice it to say I have everything, except Vampires and My First Pet. (I'm leaning toward MFP, too.)

The Sims in sims4, while not quite the same as the ones in Sims2, are far less wooden than the ones in Sims3.

Another thing that keeps me from returning to Sims2, is the shortness of a Sims' life. (And I'm not talking of the myriad of random deaths that cam occur in that iteration.) Unless I wanted to play with Aging Off, until I was read for a Sim to age up, then it's a very short game.

In Sims3 I played on Epic and made adjustmets to the Babies-Teens life stages, slamming the YAs-Elders all the way up, maximizing their life-expectency.

Sadly, we didn't get that option in Sims4. Why? I have no clue. So, I play on Long and age my Sims up when I deem it time. Besides all of this, the toddlers are far superior in Sims4 than the ones in Sims2, which I used to love the best.

And while I wish we could have the best of Sims4 in Sims2, we just don't. But, I am happy to play Sims4.

I keep Sims 2 -3 and 4 on my pc ready to play when ever I feel like it. It does take me a few minutes to gather my brain at what I was doing last in the game most times - but it's fun to go back every few weeks and play those ongoing games too. Sims 2 I have 4 legacies going and all three college have 8 sims attending at each of them.

Sims 3 I have 10 different games going in 10 different worlds.

I mostly play Sims 4 though but visit 2 and 3 about about once or twice every 5 or 6 weeks.

I just played TS2 and it's still the best!

Me too. I think I might go dig mine up this weekend.

I'm about to as soon as I leave here. Learned some neat building methods I want to try out, and that are impossible in TS4.

In 12 years from now, do you think anyone will be saying the same for Sims 4? If they don't, then something is seriously wrong with 4 at its core.

I really miss my TS2 UC. I have it on my Origin account but it just won't run.
