Would you be interested in a "The Sims 2" remaster?

Not with better graphics and support.

The Mac version also doesn't contain everything Ultimate Collection has. They never finished Sims 2 for Mac. I played on a Windows partition on my Mac so I could have everything.

Yeah, I was sad that I didn't get those other two expansions. :( I never got to play them.

It also only has 3 of the 10 stuff packs.

I did not know TS2 had that many stuff packs.

Happy Holiday, Family Fun, Glamour Life, Holiday (a repackaging of Happy Holiday with new items added), Celebration, H&M, Teen Style, Kitchen and Bath, Ikea, and Mansion and Garden.

I guess that's technically only 9 since one was a re-packaging. Ikea was probably my most used one.

This would make me so happy. I wouldn't play another sims game again...EVER.

I voted no - it's just not something I'd be into personally.

It's odd really, because when I was much younger I loved TS2 and I remember playing it so often. I'm pretty sure I had hardly any DLC for it either but still found it fun. However, I was able to get my hands on the Ultimate Collection maybe about a year or two ago and so I went back to TS2 and absolutely hated every minute of it. :lol:

As I was trying to remember all the controls and gameplay, it frustrated me how "needy" my Sims were. I spent a good portion of my time fulfilling their needs because they seemed to go down so quickly. I know people say needs in TS4 are so easy but honestly, I prefer it that way so I can focus on other aspects of gameplay. I know it's probably such a weird thing to comment on but it was enough to make me give up playing after a couple days lol.

That's fair. I know with sims 2 there's a sort of progression. Needs are a bit tricky in the beginning, especially when you're playing a full house of Sims with no skills. But as your sim progresses in their careers or aspirations for example, you get unlocks that make life a little easier.

With sims 4 I feel like it's already pretty easy to manage and then you get unlocks that only make it much easier. So at least for myself there's no sense of progression.

It comes down to the individual but I know what you mean. My younger self always whipped out the cheats for the first 2 games. ?

You could travel from world to world in TS2...

You can't go from Pleasantview to Veronaville. Or has it been that long since I've been able to play it?

Either way, the worlds are so dull looking, I can't go back.

You couldn't go between the pre-made neighborhoods. But you could go from your neighborhood to Downtown(s) and Bluewater. A lot of people had an Uberhood created on MTS that converted the other neighborhoods into downtowns of Pleasantview. Or, did what I did and used SimPE to move the Sims and houses from all the neighborhoods into a cleaned neighborhood. There was also the three travel destinations and 3 University worlds you could go to.
It was nice when they added the ability to travel between them all with 3&4. A remastered version of 2 would need that added.

That doesn't count. I like being able to go to the other cities, not the stupid downtown area.

Hello Simmers! and everyone at EA/ Maxis, i got started on sims3 for the wii, so never experienced sims1 or sims2, but what i've heard about sims2 it would be cool to do a remake :) :p

I've always seen people rave about how good TS2 is, but I never got to play it. So a remaster would be very welcome for me.

You poor deprived soul. :C

Yes! The Sims 2 is my all time favorite of the series, and after being stubborn for so long I kind of moved on to The Sims 4, but I would LOVE a remaster. I still play Sims 2 once in a while.

What's the difference?

Not to mention you can even create your own downtown and make it look like something else. What an ignorant comment.
