Sims 2 is by far the best in the series, in my opinion of course. ;) And I don't get why so many people think the sims in TS2 are ugly? I thought they looked really good (without CC, I'm not a big fan of Sims 2 sims with CC), the sims in TS3 can look a little scary at times with the soul piercing eyes and I'm just not a fan in general with their faces. Sims 3 is the only Sims game where I like CC in it, it seems to 'fit'. CC in the Sims 2 just seems really out of place to me for some reason.
