Would you rather play in The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection in Live Mode or build in The Sims 4?

I never played Sims 2 myself, but I had a friend who was very into it and I often would watch her play and didn't liked it.

I don't enjoy building for the building sake. The only building game that managed to held my interest was Dragon Quest Builders 2, probably because before it becomes a building sandbox, there is a story line that let you bond with characters and the style is kinda cute. So if the only thing I could do in Sim4 is building I'd get bored pretty fast of it.
