Is Sims 2 worth to buy, or is it still buggy?

TL;DR I had some bugs in the beginning, but mostly my game has been running great and I'm glad I bought it.

In the beginning I had a Sim disappear, but I knew how to fix it myself and it's since been addressed in a patch. I had one Sim that somehow became corrupted and another who's Lifetime Want disappeared, but that kind of thing has always happened, and I knew how to fix those too. I've read that people had families disappear when going on vacation or the vacation neighborhood wouldn't load, but that deleting the vacation hood fixed that. They also said in a patch it was now fixed, but I saw in the forum just today that a player has had it happen to them. I never experienced that bug myself, my Sims have always gone on and returned from vacation fine.

A lot of players seem to be experiencing crashing, but the only crashing I've had is the sort of crashing Sims 2 has always had, since 2004. For some reason, sometimes, after 1-2 hours of playing the game will simply crash. The best way to deal with that is save frequently, quit the game after about an hour, delete the cache files, and then start it up again. But some players are reporting crashing at various points during gameplay frequently.
