I came to S2 via the ultimate collection after years of playing 3 and it nearly drove me nuts for a while as I simply wasn't used to the differences in game-play-)
I began by trying to understand how corruption could be caused and did what @Sorak4 is suggesting by adding a few anti corruption mods and then when I started to play the game I wrote down everything that niggled me and went looking for a mod to fix whatever it was as doing it this way made me aware of why i was adding a particular mod.
one great little mod to begin with that has tons of options is Twojeff's sim blender (looks like a potted shrub) and has functions like resolving motives, temperature of sims, ageing sims back to their present stage of life and so much more. I put this mod/plant in all my community lots as well so when sims get stinky at nightclubs I can hygiene up all the sims on the lot in one go-) Its a nice little first time mod to begin with..
mod is around a third of the way down on the following link if you are interested called Simblender.zip

Then I moved onto CC after I was satisfied with my mods folder and sims/lots/neighborhoods can be made to look stunning if you are prepared to spend a little bit of time on it. I am not terribly creative but have enjoyed remaking sims plus trying to decorate lots and neighborhoods which gave me a lot of satisfaction when I finished something I was happy with.

like @Devalaous & @Sorak4 I don't play rotationally either. I have different households for different play styles and age up family and their friends from other households all together once I have decided they are ready to be aged up.
This thread on MTS is a discussion about the pros and cons of playing rotationally which could be worth a look..
