On the whole a nice summation of the basics of the series, good work there. TS2 also has an attraction system and automatic memories keyed to major events with either a positive or negative response keyed to sim personality- no need to manually flag a photo. School and careers have chance cards that can be either a boost or pull down - including getting fired from work. A good vacation gives your sim a choice of 3 of 6 buffs that improve life for a few days. The game is big on little details - when cooking sims will open counter drawers and doors to get the pots/pans/tools they need. Once a sim's gender preference is set it stays that way unless manually changed via interactions. No 'having the hots' for anything that moves. Sims will readily tell you what they think of your house decoration choices and what you do to them if you change their appearance via the mirror. A huge plus is the mentioned album. The player has full control of photo sequence and has ample room for captions, as in several lines.
A huge plus for TS4 is the graphics, it's easily the best looking version in the series to date. In view of the advances in technology since TS2, it had better be. Overall gameplay feels much simpler than before, even shallow, many things being automatic, even almost magical. Won't go into the personality side as the forums are filled with laments on that issue. Build mode is a mix, better in some ways than before, worse in others. Rotational play is tough. Different games for different play styles.
