Long time player myself. 2 will always be my favorite.. 1 was fun. I once stayed up for 2 nights playing non-stop. When 3 was announced I was excited only to be let down. Same with 4. For me 4 kinda of gives you a small taste of what 2 did but is still lacking in family play.. Family play especially from 2 is what made me love the sims. I miss the sims from 2. I never wanted good graphics, I wanted them to take the sims from 2 and add features from 3 open world and color wheel being allowed to visit neighbors and updated the gameplay.. Sims from 3 and 4 seem soulless. 2 had emotions, chemistry with others. the higher the chemistry the better chances you had in developing a relationship. Who can remember Brandi Broke going outside to scold Dustin about something. It did this kind of stuff all the time and I loved watching it.. Some of the sims reactions when someone let out a fart had me cracking up.. The wants always had somthing to do with what you chose family, romance,pleasure, knowledge etc.. :smiley:
