I will quote what I said in another post:

These little details are one of the many reasons why I choose The Sims 2 over the rest to this day and play The Sims 1 alongside it. I guess Will Wright did great things and it was a mistake for EA to have him not work with them anymore.
Imagine the possibilities and how incredible the series would be today if he was still a part of the team? One can only dream...
There are some details missed in that video, such as:
- If a tub is broken and leaking from the second floor, the floor right below it will start spawning puddles. The ceiling will leak.
- Clocks were functional and their dials matched the game time.
- Proposing on the table was possible.
- Throwing food at each other on the table.
- Making a toast while eating.
- Sims get sick while eating burnt food. Burning food doesn’t exist anymore in The Sims 4... it only comes out “poor quality”. It doesn’t define if it’s burned or if it’s just bad quality.
- Sims can go on a short limo trip after their wedding. If you have Bon Voyage installed, you can plan a honeymoon overseas.
- If a Sim comes back home after earning a large sum of money throughout their lifetime (yes, the game can calculate how much money a single Sim has earned through their job), they will feel proud and start raising their hands congratulating themselves. They can also get a memory.
- Genes actually worked properly...yes. Dominant and recessive genes existed. Greater offspring can show genes from grandparents, etc.
- Extensive family tree.
- When a Sim engages or is wed, you can see the ring on their finger.
- Slobs eat messy, fart and burp often.
- Growing up well will increase the Sims lifespan compared to Sims who didn’t grow up well. I find it silly that they made vegetarians live longer. That’s entirely anecdotal.
- Different diving animations according to your Sim’s personality.
- Slob Sim can autonomously have a sponge bath at the nearest sink.
- The Sims 2 is the only game that had actual, permanent zombies that you can control.
- The goose interaction.
- Sims who dislike you can not only steal your gnomes, but they can also steal your newspaper and knock over the garbage bin.
- Sims can autonomously look out the window.
- Dogs can autonomously “greet” newspaper girls/boys or mailmen/women.
- The Sims 2: Freeplay added even more with hobbies and interests.
- If you summon the social bunny from having low social needs, and if you summon two - the pink and blue, they will happily start fighting each other...
- How many birthday cake candles present depends on the age of the Sim.
There’s probably still so much more.
I also want to add that if the weather is hot, Sims who are walking on the beach will tip toe because the sand is burning their feet.
Before I forget...
