hmm ... I think it's a bit silly to compare The Sims 4 with The Sims 2, because TS2 is 10 years old and the technology was not quite like that is now!
I know it's a bit stupid to compare TS4 with TS3, but it is the most natural to do!
anyway I feel that TS2 is better than TS4, because to be 10 years old, I still play it!
TS4 missing so much awesome features!
Like pools, family tree, todlers, cars (work cars was awesome!!), and services! TS2 had charm, something TS4 is missing!
I'm not saying TS4 was bad, but missing things to make it really fun!
Of course comparing a sequel to the direct prequel is the obvious thing to do, but gameplay wise it isn't in this case.
I know a lot of people were quite frustrated with Sims 3, because they didn't like the gameplay.
Are those people completely happy with Sims 4 or do you think you will keep returning to Sims 2? And if so: why?
'Charm' may be a bit vague. That feeling can so easily be caused by sheer nostalgia ;-)
To me it just seems Sims 4 has all the features people liked about 2 (except for pools, toddlers and - indeed - cars), but with the advantages of a 2014 game.
