The Sims 1:
Pros:
- This game put the foundation to the future games.
- It has the least amount of expansion packs.
- Children can do a lot there. For example cast spells, take bills out of the mailbox, take care of a baby etc.
- The music.
- The budget window that opens up when clicking on the household funds. Am I the only one who liked it?
Cons:
- Needs go down so fast. Seriously, players who keep 5 or more sims happy for 20 days or more have earned bragging rights.
- So little customizability.
- Sims can drown randomly!
- No aging. A child growing up is literally a witchcraft.
- Sims are so mean. :'( (It's so hard to make friends)
The Sims 2:
Pros:
- Aging and new life stages!
- More ability to customize sims, houses, and neighborhoods.
- Wants and fears and aspirations.
- First must-have expansion packs (University, Seasons etc).
- So many details and fun secrets.
Cons:
- Easy to corrupt. Delete a sim and watch your neighborhood go down at varying speeds.
- Taking care of pregnant sims (I've had few of them die already).
- The first game to have stuff packs.
- If you want to have the best game (seeable neighborhood on lots, influence bar etc), you'll need the latest expansion/stuff pack.
- Is it me or is it really hard to fill up a community activity center lot?
The Sims 3:
Pros:
- Create a style adds more customizability.
- Open world and community lot types.
- The first game where aging and life span is customizable.
- So many things to do and so many new skills (No more moments where painting makes sims a good piano player anymore!).
- The first game to have moodlets so the mood bar isn't directly tied to needs.
Cons:
- It crashes so often and has many bugs. Mods are required to play it perfectly.
- Rotational play is so hard.
- This game can scare you with loud noises! They happen when you least expect it (Meteors, krakens, vending machines crushing sims etc.).
- Unforunately, I have to bring out the open world. Sometimes you'll need to go home and away quick or one of your sim dies.
- 11 expasnsion packs, some stuff packs, and a lot of The Sims 3 Store content.
The Sims 4:
Pros:
- Easier to create sims and build houses.
- It brings thing that allows players to customize their game (clubs, vampire perks and weaknesses etc).
- Toddlers!
- The first game where computer and console version is the same.
- Manage households. It allows players to edit households (Change Sim with ability to add and remove sims).
Cons:
- So... many... expansion, game, and stuff... packs... It's enough to drown in them.
- Bugs that take long time to be fixed and simulation lag.
- There's isn't a lot of trait slots.
- No matter what, if you play your game rotationally with some expansion packs, you will see your sims wearing bad fashion.
- There are things missing. Some have been brought back, some still isn't back (my sims are burning to death!).
