Ts4 destroyed my ability to enjoy ts2
I wonder if this happens to anyone else. I launched TS2 today (mac super collection) played for a short while and got frustrated and closed it. Going to a community lot Down town is a drag, pick up th...

@SimmerGeorge When I throw house parties sims actually do things, they don't just chitchat. They give each other foot massages. Listen to the musician playing, they dance, play games, eat, drink, socialize. And I often have sims calling my sims to go to impromptu parties. The last one all of the clubs she was in invited her to the arcade for the night. That was a blast. I build interesting lots, give my sims a variety of skills and traits, add them to unique clubs and that makes the game interesting.
Add everyone to a group and tell them to sit and eat that may stop the musical chairs thing.
TS2 has its strengths as does TS3, but TS4 is interesting too.
I never send a sim to a lot that is just empty, sims always turn up. I made a movie cafe lot and the sims show up, make popcorn on their own, watch movies on both screens, purchase items from the barrister or the fridge and engage each other.
The one thing I hated about TS2 is I would send my sim to a community lot and some random sim would just start fighting with them. The first time that happened a male sim attacked my female sim. I was traumatized.
We may have different definitions of challenging, because some of the tasks sims were required to do in TS2 & TS3 became extremely tedious to me. In TS3 I created an immortal alien witch that I put in all my saves so she could do those tasks quickly and I could do what I enjoyed most in the game. But then, I come at the game from building first then playing. When I get bored I create another lot, weird sims that I make look hilarious with various skills, a club and then watch the magic happen. I don't play the weird sims, I just drop them in game and see what happens when they show up on a lot
One thing I started doing is making sure I have clubs that meet at the lots. Some only meet at a specific lot and others will meet at generic lots - like at any bar or any nightclub. That makes it interesting seeing them carry out their club activities too
I'm glad you're enjoying playing TS2 tho.
