Yes, in sims 2 there is this expensive beach house that i always had my sims buy so i decided to recreate it in 3 for my sims to enjoy. I've also rebuilt my favorite farm home from 2 into 3.
Didn't really do much sim recreation except once. I did one huge project for a very close friend of mine and I used the create a world tool to create Belladonna Cove as a sims 3 world. I went back and forth from 2 and 3 to make sure every lot was where it was suppose to be and to make sure the homes/community lots were as prefect as I could get them. Some of the community lots where changed a tad to fit in the needed rabbit holes and some got just a small transformation to have more sims 3 like activities but I did my best to keep it as it was in 2. I also recreated all of the sims and moved them into their rightful lots doing my best to keep them as similar as possible. It's the only time I went all out to make an exact replica of something from sims 2.
I've also remade some sims 2 sims in sims 4 like Caster Nova and Heather and that became a project to recreate all the sorority/fraternity sims in 4 when university came out. though what I did instead of playing those sims, I paired them up the way I use to in sims 2 and randomize a child for them. Than I rebuilt the sorority house from sims 2 for one of my sims to stay in I put the randomized children in the sorority house so my sim went to university with the children of the sorority/fraternity sims children instead of them going with the sims 2 sims cause I figure it bring a bit of old and new to my game.
