why I don't like sims 2 as much as3 and 4

Can’t say it forms my overall opinion about the game (not least because I played Sims 2 too briefly to have a thorough one, but also because I think less appreciated details don’t make or break a game), but I didn’t like the deadly loop my pregnant sim found herself in when she returned from Twikii Island. Too tired to eat, too hungry to sleep. There was only one way to get her out of that: cheating. If the game allows just two options, cheat or die, for me that’s too much. Especially because in no way did it represent reality, it felt over the top. But most importantly: I couldn’t have helped it. She had been fine when she left to go to Twikii Island and she was fine when she returned home. It was the game that decided to do the deadly loop thing during traveling.

Again, for me this doesn’t make or break a game in general, but it felt overdone to me.
