What's your favorite and least favorite aspects of Sims 2?

I love the worlds in Sims 3 but in a way also appreciate the simplicity of editing neighborhoods in The Sims 2. I also really liked the idea of having a main neighborhood and being able to add a Downtown and a Business district to create more room for living and community lots. The Sims themselves and the animations are also great.

Loving The Sims 3, I find it hard being restricted to one lot in The Sims 2 now whenever I do play, and how much less easily the game is designed for controlling life spans and aging.

Favorite: I love the different life states, they are all unique & fun to play as.
Least favorite: comparing it to the Sims 3 & 4, the gardening & fishing aspects are pretty basic.
