TS2 sims had really bad looking eyes and noses in vanilla form imo.

I agree with you, I also think the eyebrows on the sims 3 sims were better, but if you look carefully you'le notice that sims 2 sims had hair roots.

Hair in 2 was awesome. It even moved!

That's another point to the sims 2 it was made in 2004 and sims 3 2009 and sims 4 2014

I have no idea why they couldn't do it in 3 or 4. It's such a minor detail but I love it. :D

It would have probably caused lag.

I saw a TS2 "walkby's" ponytail move in the wind this weekend & was enchanted. There's something about the angular quality, the skin contrast (which the makeup does not help), and a lot of the male townie noses that turn me off of the TS2 Sims looks. Love the game, though. But then, I am apparently a weirdo because I find the TS3 Simmies the nicest to look at (without CC) & everyone seems to hate them. In fact, I don't like the way TS3 Simmies look with CC. Too shiny & plastic-surgery-y. To me.

I think sims 3 is better than sims 2. Not only the graphics are better but it has open world too.

Is there anything else that the sims 3 better than the sims 2 other than graphics, create a style and open world?

To me: Seasons, pets, University and Story progression.

Expansion Packs in sims 3 were better than these in sims 2 too.

Expansion packs don't count, my thread is focusing on the base game any other DLC or pack is void.

Not everyone liked story progression, I love it, but it has destroyed rotational play in the sims 3, anther thing I would like to clarify is that this is purely my opinion, and I respect yours, I'm not making any statements.

I would also like to rephrase my question, what aspect of gameplay in the sims 3 do you think is better than sims 2 other than actual features?

I like they way TS3 sims look as well, you're not the only one :)
I find them endearing because of their fat little pudding heads. Though regardless of what people say, it IS possible to make pretty and diverse looking TS3 sims.
TS2 sims do look gorgeous with CC they're not always staring, scary eyed creatures.

The vanilla eyes in 2 looked like octagons TBH. And vanilla TS3 faces looked like spheres.

I was really confused when I heard people said that the sims 3 sims had pudding face, but I guess it has something to do with our opinion.

When people say "pudding face", they mean the chubby faces, and not-so-prominent facial features of TS3 sims when all the sliders are set to the default 0. The bad thing is, all randomly generated NPCs and role sims will be pudding faces. I always have to edit them in CAS to get rid of it.

I think that Sims 3 Sims are much prettier. But it is because you can change so much on their faces.
