I never had to mod Sims 2 to enjoy the game ( I also do not use mods).

Wow.. haha, I have over 5000 MOD files in my Downloads folder , plus the ridiculous amount of CC. And have never ever met a person before who never had a tiny need of mod the game AT ALL (TS2, what I still do play).

I have over 20GB in sims 2. I mean...there is so much to customize the game with. And I prefer to make my game harder so most of my mods add more challenge to it rather than making it easier. It's also a great way to enhance some things. I've got a functioning daycare, a functioning hospital, time passes when my sims leave and if I leave sims behind, I can go back and play them while the sims that left are still away. There's so much to enhance it. I've got extra sliders, the same skin I use in TS4. The only thing TS2 is missing for me is height mods.

In TS3 I don't have much, but what I do have enhances the game and, again, makes it harder. There are plenty of things I didn't like about TS3, but I am a big fan of the open world and my playstyle in TS3 is to play the whole town. So I'm constantly jumping around from house to house. That's a challenge and can be overwhelming when coming back to it after playing TS2 or TS4.

And TS4, I think one of the reasons I don't like it as much is because I refuse to install a lot of mods due to the update cycle. It's such a pain in the butt to update them. But I need them to make my gameplay more challenging. I haven't been playing TS4 for long, but when I do, I have fun enough. With some personality mods, I think I could turn it into something I could be happier with. And maybe after the game is over and there's no more updates and I can do with it as I like, I can be happy with it.
