Which sims game has the most intelligent sims?

I meant to add the sims 2 and 1 don’t know why I can’t edit this post

You can't edit polls. You may want to repost in the Sims Franchise section of the forum since it's not just a Sims 4 poll.

Yeah, Sims in 4 can multi-task a little, but there was just so much variety to personalities between Sims in 3. In 4, each Sim gets four traits (three you pick, and an extra you don't). In 3, a fully grown Sim had five traits you picked, and if you had University, they could end up with a total of seven. There was more complexity that way. Also, before the current moods, traits weren't all about moods. They affected behaviors more. Sims 4 is getting better (achingly slowly), but there are a lot of traits I don't even bother with because all they do is occasionally grant a confident moodlet easily overpowered by all the other moodlets in the game.

I would say sims 2…… children could play tag and things together. You could have 8 sims playing a volleyball game etc. but the multi tasking in sims 4 is nice.

I would like to vote for sims 2. The sims in sims 2 were great because they felt like real personalities. Their trait points mattered, their wants were tied to their lifetime aspirations. Sims were also capable of taking care of themselves without problems. I never played much with sims 3 but the little I did play gave me the impression that traits really changed their behaviour which made them feel unique. In Sims 4 the sims loose way to much time with useless idle animations. The multitasking is useful but may have backfired with the recently implemented phone addiction for every sim. Emotions do not contribute to sims being smarter. They change too quickly. I was able to see how sims felt in previous versions without the game having to spell it out permanently in the corner of the screen. I think sims 4 might actually come last in being smart.

Sims 2 definitely. You can just post a brand new poll and add all the games you meant to post.

The Sims 2 had extremely intelligent Sims. This Sims 2 engineer explains:

Those in TS2, actually, but 3 is closest I could get. EA claims notwithstanding, TS4 sims are the dumbest.

I have to agree. Even TS1 sims were more interesting and emotional than TS4 sims. Such a missed opportunity to give them so many personality traits and career options and have their autonomous behaviour reflect none of it :( I had a health guru sim with all the traits that would make her a celebrity fitness expert who was besties with my vegetarian celebrity actress sim... but I had to take her key away because she kept coming over and making cake for no reason at all.
