I love the attention to detail, they don't pull everything out of their behinds, they actually go through the motions of doing things. No instant poofing. How the sims react, I love they have memories they can dredge up at anytime, the way personalities are done, and the attraction system. The genetics are outstanding. I love going through generations to see who might have inherited great grandpas eyes or nose.

Everything about the game seemed so carefully thought out, and fleshed out. I love the cut scenes, I have never skipped one in my life. It is truly a very solid game, so long as you don't do something to make it explode. :D

I agree with everything you said here.

They did so well with the base game and all the packs.

I have never disliked a pack from the sims 2 or the stuff packs and store sets.

Quality packs.

Sims react better in the games.
Life stages are well done.
Better career items.

The sims makes me laugh.

So many animations in the game.


I love cc in it.

I wish they made more packs for it :(

Sometimes I did wish they made more packs for it, then I think about the recent quality of packs, and I don't want them to anymore! :D Agreed there isn't any pack that was released for 2 that I didn't like, I don't think I could play with any of them!

Hi :)
Thank you.
I see.
If you like them enjoy.
Me however
The resent lack of quality makes me want them to do more for 2.
I'm not even sure if there capable anymore of creating quality expansion packs :(

I could agree with you if 4 packs were even half better than the others. They just don't entertain as long as two or three.

What is the quality of packs?

Both jundle adventure and cats and dog's just for exsample were not quality packs if you asked me.
Slap in the face maybe cpmpaired to world adventures and the sims 3 pets.

So very small.
City living even more so.

The last good packs for me was parenting and vampire and spa day.


the packs seem to be getting smaller and smaller in the expansion pack department..


Poor quality and incredibly boring...

So yeah if they were quality packs i could happily forget about two.
Until them its just a constant reminder that packs just isn't great anymore.
Lost it magic this series.



Have fun tho . if your happy that's great. At least some do like it. Its a shame more of us couldn't.

Woah!!! Back up the train! :D Sorry I should have been more clear, I love Sims 2 expansions, not 4. I meant I had sometimes thought I would like more Sims 2 expansions. I hear about the "quality" and yes I use that term loosely, of the currant packs for 4, and now I no longer want them to put their hands on 2. Heck I was so disappointed by 4 I never even bought the base game, so definitely no love there. :p

I agree I don't think they are able to make quality packs anymore. Why? Doesn't really matter if it is engine related, budget, or just bad choices. Fact is they just are not good, and I don't see them changing that direction.

Sorry just didn't want anyone thinking I was talking about 4, the fact it seemed you did made me hurl in my mouth a little. :s

Sorry about that.
I misunderstood, my bad.
I see what you mean now.
You meant I think, at the current quality of the newer packs. You would feel any attempts of them making any for the sims 2 would likely be as bad as the ones they put out now?
At least I can still get some great cc and mods :)
Both have always been such a lifesaver for my games.
Agree you you totally :)
No need to apologise.
Sorry for that mix up.
