The Sims 1 has a certain nostalgic charm, although it's for me to go back to that gameplay. The graphics have a certain photorealistic style. Prerendered, I guess. When I first played it, I thought it was absolutely amazing. As a kid, I played games with shooting, jumping, etc., but truthfully I always wanted a game where you could just be someone trying to go about their day. When The Sims came out, I remember picking up the box at the store and gawking at the back in amazement before I actually bought it. Wide-eyed wonderment The game had some very cool expansion packs--some of which were downright essential!
The Sims 2 is my favorite by far. It's the ideal sequel: adds so much and improves on every level, without taking away*. I still play TS2 to this day, although I use mods to fix various annoyances like stray pets. I LOVE the cute little babies. I also like the aliens. I hate the genetics, though. In this game, dominant always wins, and recessive always loses. For example, every time I have a brown haired Sim and a blonde haired Sim have a child together, the child is always brunette. That is not realistic at all.
*with a few exceptions like the basketball goal
I did not like The Sims 3 very much at all. I don't like the characters' faces, the car system, the sound effects, or the rabbit holes. The police uniforms look nice, though. I'm also something of a control freak, so I don't like having "life go on" in the neighborhood without my personal intervention.
