This is why I still have, and play, TS2. This is the detailed and immersive simulator the game is supposed to be. Yes various things such as graphics and structure are dated by the technological advances since, but the game itself is still solid and hugely enjoyable. Some additional things: #28, chess is not the only real game as pool is also done as such, not only do sims critique your choice of furnishings but they will let you know what they think if you go into a mirror and change their appearance - from cheering to gagging and all sorts of things inbetween. Not mentioned but seen in the early part of the big video is the remote controlled car. Sims love this thing, there are several cars to pick from, and there is also a controllable hellicopter. Speaking of helicopters, there are several large ones the sims can get into and fly, with appropriate animations as with cars. The interiors are well detailed and with good camera handling you can watch your sim get in and get to their seat. TS4 is a massive lazy afterthought by comparison. How much is due to greedy 'suits' and how much to poor planning and programming no idea.
Love those added videos! Thank you!
