TS4 for me. It has the most game time for me on the PC (I can't say which I played most of console, but I would say The Urbz overall probably has the most game time?). It caters towards my gameplay a lot more. I don't really fumble around with terraforming too much (but I did enjoy using them when I needed them), so I'm fine with flat lots. It gives a lot more building tools for me. I like the ease of building now and its less frustrating for me (sometimes). I like the gallery and being able to upload them a lot easier. I like knowing I can plop down any uploaded lot easily now without needing to close the game. I love the reference paintings and selfies and putting them all over my house walls. I'm able to put an employee wall in my retail store and it's pretty awesome. I love the Sims don't complain as much when trying to get to a certain place (their pathing seems to be better and overall seem smarter). The direction Sims 4 is going fits more towards my game style of playing the young adult life and just wanting to get better at jobs, working, etc. It forces my Sim to be more social as well. I like being able to enlarge objects and move objects manually.
TS3 is the second for me. I'm not much an open world guy, tbh. But this was the first Sims PC game I played and it was pretty cool. I only had Pets unfortunately, but I had a blast playing it. It got slightly boring after awhile, but I went into build mode and I really liked placing lots and building all sorts of stuff. Due to the large world, it was easy to do. I really hate that you couldn't save during edit worlds and the load times is just blah. Unlike in Sims 4, it gets rid of wishes and progression when trying to switch active households so I didn't really bother switching. I didn't really like how empty Sims 3 felt. Neighbors never really visited me and other lots were a lot emptier than Sims 4. I became a hermit mostly with a pet dog lol. Also, no to in-game store.
TS2, I didn't really play much. The graphics just don't look that nice (normally graphics come last for me and gameplay first though, so I didn't throw it away just because of that). TS2 loaded pretty slow and I had some issues with it due to being an old game. I was surprised I couldn't put a deck and stone foundation on my lot and have my Sim transition between them. In Sims 3, I used that a lot so it was weird for me. I thought the hangout option was cool and I liked that ants showed up on thrown chips on the floor. Neighbors were frequently visiting. I didn't really like that the Zodiac sign was connected to my Sim's traits. I can't really say much about Sims 2 because I didn't really play it. I just felt like going back to Sims 3 and now that I have Sims 4, I don't actually feel like going back.
