I've only played the sims 4 but when looking at the sims 2 smallest details like pulling out drawers while cooking, the runaway teenager, cuddling in bed, having to actually buy clothes without having access to all clothes from the beginning of the game (which imo would give clothes stores that came with get to work a meaning), plus other small details. I feel the details is really important to gameplay and the details in the sims 2 were amazing imo but i guess i can try find some mods that will fix the problem with details :)
