Is the sims 2 better than sims 3? what's your opinion?

There are things I miss about Sims 2, but as far as it being better, for me the answer is no. It took me a while to get use to it, but it was something that I wanted. And that was the whole neighborhood ages while my sims that I'm playing ages. I also love the part where my sim can walk right next door to visit their neighbor, or that they can drive across town to do the same.

Now I'm not crazy about the game deciding who moves out and who stays, I kinda wished that there was a list of families that I could check, no matter what, those families would stay in town. I do have my favorites. Yes, I know there is a mod for that, but I'm going to wait, my computer is giving me fits at the moment.
