Another thing TS2 has that TS4 doesn't do very well. There is nothing you can't get your hands on for TS2 right within the game. The developers didn't hold all their marbles close to their chests. They shared every cheat, every boolprop, every customization you can think of so the player could actually recreate their own game to suit themselves. TS4 actually took away some cheat codes so players couldn't use them. Told their players they wouldn't understand some of them anyway, and or felt it was 'cheating', lol, etc.
TS2 was the very best for sharing all it's cheats, ways to do and change things. It's not that a player should do all that, but they didn't hold back and shared every thing with the player (most right in the game) and or made the code so easy in a way an average player could use the third party tools like SimPE, CEP, and create their own stuff whether that was by setting up game rules by cheats, and or creating their own custom content or Sims, skins, and personalities and neighborhoods. That is something that didn't occur again though TS3 developers did share many cheats with players, TS2 developers gave them all to players to do with whatever they felt most found in read me notes. It was your game, ruin it, if you want to. lol
