But I agree. I just went through some of my old TS2 screenshots yesterday and felt all nostalgic. With TS3 I've never had as much [i]fun[/i] as I had with TS2 just playing the game. I didn't even have any mods or CC back then, but I still enjoyed playing a lot more than I do now that I have tons of them for TS3. Yeah, the game looks really neat and all, but all I find myself doing is just taking pictures and not actually playing. :-|]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8448635.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8448635.page GMT ]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8448721.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8448721.page GMT http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8448747.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8448747.page GMT ]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8448820.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8448820.page GMT http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8448870.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8448870.page GMT
I don't think Sims 2 was necessarily better than Sims 3, it was just...good. I don't even know why, really. When you look at it on paper, Sims 3 should blow it out of the water, but it doesn't. ]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449018.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449018.page GMT ]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449101.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449101.page GMT http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449226.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449226.page GMT http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449319.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449319.page GMT

Well, actually, it's not quite that simple, for me at least.

As they say, ignorance is a bliss. And by that I mean back in the TS2 days I, for example, had no idea there was CC, or Sims related forums, and I didn't follow any kind of Sims news. Practically, I just lived in my own happy place with the game, oblivious to the whole simming community out there. Now that I know all that, it's impossible to go back. For one, it's become a routine for me to check Sims related news daily, and obviously they're mostly about TS3. Secondly, my playing nowadays is pretty much fueled by these forums. If I stop coming here, I don't feel like playing my game either. And third, I've become totally addicted to mods & CC. Now that I've pretty much caught up with them for TS3, it'd be too much of a pain to start over with TS2. And even though I did love playing it without CC back then, again, ignorance is a bliss. So, to sum it up, for me, there's no going back, but the days of TS2 will forever remain a warm, fuzzy memory. Sorry for such a long post, haha.]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449677.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449677.page GMT

One of the few things that would make Sims 2 bearable for me is the CC, to be honest but there's so much about it that I wouldn't be able to stand anymore. I still have all my disks, every one of them, and was tempted to reinstall then I thought 'why'? But, really, the people who say how much better Sims 2 is and how much they miss it should go play it for awhile. ]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449717.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449717.page GMT
The Sims in Sims 2 did such funny things that made me laugh out loud. The nannys alone were hilarious.

The only drawback is no open neighborhood.

In Sims 3 the Sims seem like they are robots with no feelings. Everything they do seems unreal and nothing seems spontaneous or funny or charming. I love creating Sims in Sims 3 as they can look so fantastic but I had some pretty nice looking Sims in Sims 2 too.

I would play for hours and hours in Sims 2 and now if I play more than an hour in Sims 3 or even more than once in a week it is surprising.]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449749.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449749.page GMT
While I did like the furniture better in the base game of Sims 2, I did not find it as intuitive as 3 and the graphics were certainly not as smooth.

I understand the frustration, but I think - if anything - there was a lot learned from the issues with sims 3. Hopefully the next generation (Sims 4) will be a major knock out since they know full well what is loved about 3 and what is missed about 2.

Even if S2 were to [i]somehow[/i] have open neighborhood put into it, I doubt I'd be able to ever go back because I've became so used to the looks of everything in S3 and all of the creations I've done. ]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449807.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449807.page GMT In Sims 3 the Sims seem like they are robots with no feelings.

Yeah, that's what I did. I reinstalled it a while ago and tried playing it a bit, but it just wasn't the same anymore, for reasons I mentioned in my previous post.

And true, the amount of CC for TS2 is just.. overwhelming. Especially if you'd have to start from scratch this late in the game. ]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449860.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449860.page GMT http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449898.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8449898.page GMT
But when the sims first came out, I was a super big fan of it. I would spend 9+ hours playing sims 1, it was [i]a lot[/i] of fun. And when the sims 2 was announced I was super excited. I have Base game, university, nightlife, and bon voyage. (I also had open for business and pets but I lost them) But no matter how many mods, cc, anything I would install I could never get into the sims 2 like I did 1. It felt a little too much of the same. It wasn't until sims 3 in 2009 did I really feel my love for the original series return.

But that's just my opinion I sort of always felt like the sims 2 was sims 1 with enhanced graphics, it wasn't until 3 did I really feel renewed in my fandom for it. ]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8451790.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8451790.page GMT
You come on a Sims 3 forum, and make a post entitled: "I miss my Sims 2 "

And you expect people to agree with you all the way that the Sims 2 is a better game? I don't see anyone getting snappy over this either. People are just saying that they don't necessarily miss it. What's wrong with that?

Good for you that you're reinstalling your games. Have fun with that. I've got the Sims 2 installed in my grandson's computer, but I never play it, and neither does he, really, because he's only 4 years old and the gameplay is too hard for him. The Sims 3 is much easier for both of us.

But, seriously, if you weren't prepared for disagreement, why did you make this post on a Sims 3 forum?]]> http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8452049.page http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/preList/536412/8452049.page GMT [/quote]

Whether you love Sims 1, 2, or 3 what difference does it make?

It's just to express your opinion about what you may like about one and not another. How does that make people mad?

What? I say that TS2 is better, and I still play it. Just because you post on TS3 forums declaring how much you like TS2 doesn't mean you don't play it.

It's actually quite funny - the people who complain about people who post about TS2 on these forums. The moderators don't have a problem with it, so why should ye? TS2 topics have been posted here since 2009, and the only problem they've caused are from people giving out to them for posting the topic. The only people getting mad are the people who are giving out about the topic in the first place.

Oh, and you can like both games, y'know.

What I did like about Ts2 was when I got a stuff or exp pack (yes I have them all ) was that I felt I got value for my money with regards to added gameplay and objects. It may just be me, but except for one or two trump cards each new Ts3 exp pack has....it pretty much bare bones......and all the good stuff is sitting in the store. Thats probaly my biggest gripe towards TS3...yet I moan....but have dld most of the store anyway...
