Sims 2 Blueprint

I think Sims 2 should be the blueprint for gameplay! The lore, the freedom to explore the lore or to be independent playing, the cutscenes, the cars still functioning with load screens, the freedom to place lot sizes and fully create a town, the sims had actual responses that made sense and my personal favorite was the screen capture for story telling!!! I can settle with not having the formal story telling lol but that was my favorite! I think this is how gameplay should be! 
The sims 3 was cool with the open world concept and the color wheel but that made the game lag so much it wasn’t worth it to me. 
I do enjoy the sims 4 but I feel like there was missed opportunities by not using the second as a blueprint. Unpopular opinion: sims 2 as a blueprint not a copy is more favorable than multiplayer! Let me build my own town and customize the lot sizes!!! I play the sims to avoid people lol don’t need to play with them
