Sims 2 is Amazing

I just love the cc in this game and make interiors I don't think I'll like the gameplay just because there is no open world and no open carreer.

To get around no open world, you can build anything on community lots and have mulitple type lots, they are never restricted to one category like in TS3 or TS4. Sims will use most of what you put on any community lot. People build all sorts of mulitple lots for all sorts of different things to buy or do while there.

If you like cc then mods added to TS2 can make it feel like open world. Two mods that make more walkbys and traffic go by your Sim's lot can give you the illusion it's open. I mean if sixteen or so Sims passing your lot and stopping, and ten or so cars every day doesn't make you think open world (and lot extender mods) then I don't know how else to solve that for you. Another mod that allows you to control any visiting Sim can make you feel like you are that other Sim (one of your own or whoever) you can control that other Sim while on your lot and play as the visiting Sim. (Like visiting neighbor), TS2 modders thought of just about everything. Other cheats can call any Sim to your home, so it's pretty much open if you want to find another Sim fast.

There are plenty of open careers with Uni and OFB installed, such as running beauty parlors, (no to do list however, yay!) Work as a bar tender (no time clock) barista, or DJ. If in college work as cafeterria worker. The fun thing about TS2 is no one told the player what to do next, it's all in your own mind when to send a Sim to do these jobs. No to do lists.

Owning a restuarant is open career, just like owning a store or beauty shop or massage parlor, or car dealership etc. You haven't explore the game much until you find out what is possible and almost anything is possible in TS2. Running a bar, (ticket machine) or art gallery, (ticket machine) or bakery or flower shop, toy shop, electronics (make servos and other equipment you have many surprises to find out) etc. Pass along your knowledge to other Sims, use some perks good or bad and find out why you should avoid using aspiration rewards in green aspiration. You also haven't discovered have you? what happens if your Sim is in a bad mood, or in failure state. >:) Then there is the magic, the plantSims, the Bigfoot, the witches, werewolves and vampires who turn into bats and can fly anywhere you can reach on the screen. Then there are the memoires, your Sims know who their daddy is, and why their mama hates him... they never forget. :D Cheaters never win. When your Sim thinks they got away with dating five Sims, they find out all five are there to confront them. lol

ETA: Hate the townie outfit, run a clothing store, talk them into a new outfit so they will change their clothes and you made money for asking.
