I had the TS2 UC for years but never got around to playing it until about 2 years ago (I think) and it was certainly a challenge getting used to. I did play TS1 and TS3 but I missed the TS2 era because I had moved abroad during those years and it took a couple of years to get settled in. Jumped back in around mid-TS3 era. Anyway, so I decided to finally play it a year or two ago as I did have the UC in my library but never downloaded it. Because I had been playing TS4 for the past few years, I had forgotten how unpredictable and challenging things could be in previous games. I had sims starve to death and die in fires left and right. Mothers who couldn't manage their own needs and babies needs (picking them up, dropping them on the floor over and over) and ended up starving to death. Or cooking food for her kids but walking away from the oven to check herself out in the mirror, causing the house to burn down. But I eventually got the hang of it and also found some of the hacks that are still out there. I really had a lot of fun playing TS2. I recently got a new PC so I haven't yet brought all my files over from storage yet, but I will play again some day. I just have a lot to sort through.
