TS2 has AWESOME music!

I don't remember the TS2 music being so wonderful, the music for TS3 is so irritating I usually play with it muted from the Options menu. Did they do a music upgrade for TS2 Ultimate?

Just started playing TS2 again because of questions from igazor on the TS3 forum I couldn't answer. It had been so long since I played TS2 I couldn't remember anything about it, just that I had loved it and found the transition to TS3 hard. Now I'm remembering why. With my fast PC (built specifically to handle TS3) TS2 loads like lightning, and the game graphics are much better than I remember. But, silly as it sounds, it's as if I'd never played it, NONE of it is familiar anymore.

Now I see where the format for TS4 came from, it's similar to TS2: load to go anywhere rather than TS3's open world connectivity. TS3 is still the premier Sims accomplishment, but you pay for it with heavy loads and saves and persnickety bugginess in unexpected places. We TS3 addicts have learned to accept the quirks, though, the game is such a magical achievement.

Over all, TS2 is fun, especially since it's as if I'm playing a game I never played before. As I learn it again, I may become the TS2 addict I once was. After all these years it still has enough great qualities to make it a solid, very fan-worthy game... and it seems to be almost bug-free! WOW! Meanwhile, the fast load/save, great graphics and truly AWESOME music are enough to grab my interest and keep me playing.
