Which is better sims 4 or 2

[babygurl122]

Sims 4 is better because it’s more realistic

While I like some features of Sims 4 (CAS, can travel and live in any world at anytime, etc...); but when it came to gameplay Sims 2 was the best and it hadn't been the same since. It seemed like Sims 4 wanted to be Sims 2 but couldn't (I mean I guess we can't have sims literally go crazy and have psychiatrist visit us like they could in the past).

 

I miss Sims 2. Fun, funny at times, challenging, etc...

Sims 2, hands down. If it weren’t for WW and my newfound interest in creating adult content for TS4, my time would still be devoted TS2. As stated, the gameplay was fantastic and hilarious. To this day I’m still finding little interactions I didn’t know existed. Anytime I play I feel like a kid again, haha, it’s precious.
TS1 & TS2 are the best out of the franchise.

Sims 4 hands down because of the graphics. I can't watch 1, 2, and 3 without cringing.

Sims 4 gameplay might be bored, but you can create content so easy, and made your own game, on sims 2 that’s impossible, however sims 2 custom worlds are far superior

Sims 2 no competition. 

[chrisss80]

Sims 2 was much more complete.

[Shellty_]

All gameplay from Sims 2 + graphics and CAS from Sims 4 = perfect Sims

[Proje]

^ I'd add the open world of Sims 3 in that mix. That would be the perfect Sims game for me.

Sims 4 mainly for being less corruption-prone and better out-of-box compatibility with newer computers.

S2 & S3 are far better for game play, content, and character but a bit lacking in the graphics department.

(TS2 had many mods but are really hard to find now due to broken links and sites that went down)

(Last year I decided to play TS2 again and it was a PITA trying to find all the mods again, just a Heads Up if you're planning on adding mods).

(Sex mods are crude at best, and harder to get working without conflicts, so I wouldn't even bother)

 

S4 has great graphics and many awesome mods like WW/Animations(Sex Mods), Basemental Drugs, etc., but lacks the rest of the above.

So S4 is better, if only for ALL of the good available mods, than S2/S3.

 

I'm back playing S3 ATM and still love it mostly because of the open worlds, that I can also edit with the world editor BTW.

My sim can run across the street to visit my neighbors without the loading screens and I love it.

Plus all the Cars and Motorcycles you can have and use.

Pool Slides and real Diving Boards plus working Spiral Stairs are just a few other nice features. 

 

It helps to have a decent PC for one thing and you must have the proper NRass mods to keep it running decent.

Installing some of the fixed worlds helps with eliminating most of the routing errors.

But I don't install Pets or Seasons and stay away from the Island Paradise world, (although I haven't tried out that fixed world just yet).

(The fixed Sunset Valley world is working great though).

 

Has some decent mods but the Sex/Mod/Animations are not nearly as good as TS4.

 

Since I bought most all the S3 packs cheap & used from Ebay long ago it's been the best money spent so far.

 

Guess I'm the oddball cause my favorite is still TS3(for Gameplay) and then TS4(for SEX/Graphics Detail)

(But I still have all 3 installed and switch back to play the others sometimes)

What? No horse riding around the town?

Nope, Pets and Seasons are both known for causing excessive game lag and I'd rather play around with just the cars and sims anyway, lol.

That might be why I've never had all the game crashing and lag that so many others complained about ?.

I only started playing Sims when 'World Adventures' came out for Sims 3. But I've heard Sims 2 was much more fun and creative. Sims 4 is good enough for me, I don't miss the open world of Sims 3 because it was a laggy mess. I do miss 'Sim-Fu' however, I wish they would bring Sim-Fu back into the Sims 4!!

[Vengeance_11]

The gameplay of Sims 2, the open world of Sims 3 and the graphics and easy to mod and play nature of Sims 4 is the dream for the perfect Sims 5.

For me TS4 is just deeply upgraded TS2. Thus lots of things the same time were downgraded or excluded at all. 

[Mariana Soprano]

S4 original still looks like a kind of cheap plastic.

No chance to have a private world without shitty EA spawnings or using Cats & Dogs without all times sick pets  everywhere.

You need mods for every single thing to clean up the EA mess in your game.

No Create A Style...

Blurry screenshots without mods or bit of post-processing.

 

Probably an experiment whether gamers also pay for crap, especially if you have modding experience with S3 - and OKW

I love Sims 4 and Sims 2 - love the Sims 3 for gameplay. I can't make nice sims for TS3 like TS4 and TS2.

I...…………………………..hm. 2, yeah 2. And by saying so, I mean no mods at all, only what base game and stuff released by EA only, expansions and so on.
