TS1 was my first game. I started playing when it went out and i loved it back then. I'ld play it more like a game. My play sessions would be of 3 afternoons max :lol: Trying to do fun things and keep my sims alive was a challenge. I loved it because of it being a challenge, a game...

TS2 i can't say anything. I haven't played much because of rl... but i hear it has a great personality system. I do remember the wants and fears. I wish they would bring back the fears and the aspiration failures.
TS3 is my favourite. It is a game with hard (and not so hard) goals while the simulation is still there too. It may be a downgrade from 2 personality wise (people say that a lot and i believe) but you can still see how traits influence sim's personalities, how there are consequences for the sims actions and how relationships develop in a meaningfull way.
TS4 is the worst for my play style. I have tried to like it, oh god i have tried a lot. I love this franchise that much :lol: but i can't. To play 4 i was always with my smartphone at my side, rolling situations to do with my sims. But then, after achieving those self-imposed goals, it was like everything reverted to an initial stage. It's like there are no identity acomplishments, sims don't "learn" or "grow" with life. If i try to complete a self-imposed achievement with a sim right in the beginning of their life, the results will be similar to doing it with a completelly different sim (in what concerns to traits) with different previous experiences in life. For me, that gets boring after a small while...
