      This, Sims 2 really feels like a passion project. All the insane details, all the goofy interactions, it must have been really fun for them making the game. It's been really going downhill since. While Sims 3 made some huge improvements while taking a few cuts here and there, Sims 4 is just a bare minimum of what qualifies as a Sims game.

And personally I prefer Sims 2 and 3 graphics over Sims 4 Cartoon(even on highest settings there's barely any change that kills me). The CAS and Build Mode are the only improvements in my opinion.

    -Shy Sims sometimes wring their hands and look anxious. They are fearful about diving into pools and will often back off the diving board after getting on it. Also when being admired, a shy sim will act very timid.
    - On the other hand outgoing sim while being admired Will act confident
    -sloppy Sims eat messily, and they flatulate more often.
    -A sim who grew up well will live longer than a sim who grow up badly.

    Another thing: in Sims 2 they actually had to buy the clothes first and not just randomly had them. I know it’s kinda bothering to go buy them, but it makes everything much more realistic. But what i definitely miss from Sims 3 is that you could zoom out of them map and could just go everywhere without a loading screen🙄

If that’s not enough… I could even run sims 3 on my mom’s 2000 brick-like laptop, albeit it would crash.

      If you say the word "Fun details" to an EA executive, they think of large set pieces with elaborate animations, like a sim getting comically crushed by a murphy bed. In reality, it is these little "blink and you miss it" animation details that sims with different personalities have when doing relatively mundane things. I'd much rather have the latter than the former.

    I loved this, even though I played the sims 2 for years I didn’t notice some of them. You might have missed a few, I don’t know if they occur in 3 or 4:
    - Lazy/untidy sims will sometimes fart when they’re alone, proceed to sniff the air and chuckle
    - they will also eat in a more illmannered way, for example when they’re eating cereal, they will chew with their mouth open and spill the milk
    - in the Four seasons extension, sims who walk in the snow without warm winterclothes might freeze solid, fall over and remain there until somebody eventually comes around and heats them up with a hair dryer. They will be fine but keep a very pale skin color for a while after this
    - there’s one item of decor, a plastic flamingo, which a sim can kick over in order to offend the house owner. They will acknowledge this and be mad.
    I loved these details, do they exist in the following games as well?

      I used to find it interesting that sims in TS2 could build up knowledge regarding different topics, and that the knowledge would depend on how much time spent on it. It was also kinda sweet that they (after the hobby-pack) would pick a favourite hobby, and be inclined to spend time on it automatically. Not like the generic “I like art, so I’ll just write, paint and play music altogether” that we’ve had in TS3 and TS4. To me it also seemed like they built up knowledge regarding their favourite hobby a tad faster than other topics. It definitely made the sims more diverse and unique, although it always bugged me that their hobbies seemed to be chosen randomly

    One little thing you missed: In The Sims 2 the Grandfather clock it's actually functional. if it is kept wound, it will show the current time on the lot, and will chime every 6 hours. The chimes will wake any Sims who are sleeping in the same room as the clock. The clock is fully wound when bought, and will run down 72 game hours after being bought or wound. If it is allowed to run down, it will start again as soon as it is wound. Sims may wind the clock autonomously, but will usually need to be directed to wind it by the player.

      Maxis did their research for Sims 2. If I remember right, because I rarely use hot tubs when I play Sims 2, pregnant sims can't get into hot tubs, either. It really was the best game in the series in terms of content and details. It kind of went downhill from there, unfortunately. Animations and details became boring and cheap, as if EA doesn't have the money to do it well or something, which we know is a huge lie/excuse; they make plenty of money to have, let's say, an animation for kids to be able to use bikes, but Sims 4 bikes don't work for kids without a mod.

    This video is basically why I'm so disappointed in Sims 4. While Sims 2 had soooo many amazing little details like this, what Sims 3 lacked in detail they compensated with content and gameplay. Sims 3 was fun because there was sooo much to do that we hadn't seen in previous Sims games. Sims 4 lacks EVERYTHING -- detail, content, gameplay... I could go on. If there was no such thing as CC and modders, I wouldn't give the Sims 4 a second of my time. The only aspect of Sims 4 that EA got right was the drag & slide customization in CAS and the new, easier build mode. I prefer the original Sims over Sims 4, and THAT'S saying something.
    Thanks to greed, Sims 4 has become a cash grab above everything else. What once was a franchise bred from the love of the simulation genre, has become a robotic, heartless game that (tbh) can barely be called that now. Will Wright, I'm so sorry.

      That's what I'm thinking. Sims 3 at least has a open world, where you can watch Sim townies do day to day stuff like picnicking, fighting in public, going to the movies, restaurant, spa, chilling on a park bench, running out of a burning house, woohooing in public if you have Kinky World. The open world concept makes up the lack of quirkiness that Sims 2 had. Sims 4 is seriously scaled down.

      Lesa i‘m actually mad at myself for spending so much Money on Sims 4 expansions. I just hoped the gameplay would get better if i owned a lot of them. It didn‘t. I barely play it anymore. But on the other hand i bought every Sims 2 expansion for like 20 bucks a month ago and i enjoy it so much More than the Sims 4. graphics srsly dont matter if the detail and gameplay is on Point!

      Lesa I completely agree with you. I was so disappointed in sims 4. I hated it. My husband loves it though. He thinks that me, a self proclaimed lover of the sims franchise, should accept and love every Sim game no matter the graphics and mechanics in the game. Will getting kicked out, poor game play, poor mechanics... I just don't know if I can continue supporting the game after their failure on the sims 4. I know I shouldn't be judgy but if I'm not wrong, sims 5 will continue in the same direction as sims 4. I don't know, the style in sims 4 just rubs me the wrong way. Will Pls come back :(

      @@Awkward_Chair I'm all about complaining about Sims 4 tbh but that's a damn lie, Sims 4 CAS is the best of the whole franchise, I have never made two Sims who actually look alike and I've been playing since 2014

    Dogs can watch TV, Sing while a sim is playing the piano, beg for food from a sim eating at the table, & sleep/watch on the bay windows.

      If you have a bird or rodent, cats will make that little chirping meow at it. "'eow, e-e-eow!" You know, that one real cats like to do at windows.

      In TS4, pets with the vocal trait will “sing” along when a sim plays an instrument. ☺️

    People find the controlled sim's moving heads following the mouse on the center of the pie menus and briefly looking up at their God and reacts to their divine decisions is creepy but I found it charming! There should be options to turn on or off the fourth wall breaking.
