Not having ever played beyond Sims 2, it's hard for me to say. I honestly don't remember much about the original Sims, as I was a kid myself when it came out and my mother got it for me. I mean, I know I loved it right off the bat, but beyond that, I just don't remember. Then when I was older, The Sims Deluxe came out, and I bought that for myself and LOVED it. After that I got the Sims 2.
Well, the reason it's hard for me to choose between the Deluxe Sims, and The Sims 2, is that while yes, it's a lot of fun creating my own Sims and doing their hair and makeup and changing their facial features, and seeing how much more there is to do in the Sims 2, well, content-wise, there was a lot more included (at least, it felt that way) content included in The Deluxe Sims. I know I can have a fish tank in The Sims 2, but if I remember right, the Sims Deluxe had the ability to get a hamster or guinea pig or gerbil or something, and the kids could take care of it. There was also more for the kids to do outside than a swing set or a pool. I seem to remember there was a playground set they could use. And maybe this is in the Sim2 as well, but in the Deluxe version you could buy two different types of decorative water fountains. I haven't seen that in things available to buy in the Sims 2.
So, each has their pros and cons, and there were different things I loved and disliked about both. But I will say that the Sims interact better with each other in the Sims 2.
