Is Sims 2 Fun Without Story Progression?

I think it has just enough to my liking. For instance when I see my other Sims out on community lots they are building relationships, flirting, or fighting, or whatever. They don't lose those known Sims like how TS4 culls relationships. That's enough for me. Because I don't want a game that marries off, or kills off (but yes, Sims can die in TS2, too) or culls out my other Sims when I am rotating.

There are many, many ways in TS2 to age Sims and or set relationships or whatever, if you want the game to 'progress'. You don't even need mods. The TS2 devs built right into the game cheats all that we might need to do this stuff for ourselves if we want others to age up, and or change ages, and or to be in a relationship with someone else, or be pregnant by someone else, etc.

But if you don't like that much control (I do) then there are plenty of mods that can do it for you.
