Sims 2 is the best at animations, in my opinion. They just put a lot of detail into the whole game and overall, there are still some wacky animations, but in the right spots. Like when they're in aspiration failure, those animations are downright comical.
I do enjoy some of TS4's animations, but the problem for me is that I see too many of the same animations over and over again because the game has a serious lack of things to do and a lot of recycled animations. So seeing things over and over just kills any charm it might have had to begin with. I wish they had a couple of different animations for certain things. It puts me off when I see my serious sims fist bump when they're about to woohoo with the same partner they've had and their kids are now teens.
