Sims 2 or Sims 3?

I personally think that it verges on the rude side to call ALL sims 3 sims ugly,a lot of people put time and effort into these creations.Besides,in my opinion sims 2 players tend to be on the shallow side,photoshoots? Sometimes I think they have their fantasy/reality blurred a little
As has been stated, calling the Sims 3 sims ugly is an opinion, not a fact, so it's no more rude than, for example, saying liver and onions is hideous. Now, if you ask me, calling people shallow because they like to pose their sims and do photo shoots is crossing the line between stating an opinion and being insulting. You're saying everyone who likes to take pictures for contests, stories or just for fun is superficial and lacking in depth and knowledge. You don't know anyone here well enough to be able to make that generalization. Photo shoots for whatever reason may not be your cup of tea and that's fine. You can claim you meant the simming community in general, but it still doesn't justify it. It's still an insult. Besides, in your first post, which I quoted above, you specifically say Sims 2 players are shallow. There is nothing wrong with wanting to play a game that looks good.
If you prefer the Sims 3, then that's fine. You can. It's your prerogative. If you don't like realistic sims, or fantasy sims, that's your prerogative too. Some people love the cartoon-like quality of the Sims 3 while others don't. You can have your opinion without calling people names.

But you guys are not comparing vanilla games,sims 2 sims look awful without CC skin,hair,eyes and face templates.I am not trying to be insulting,I am stating an opinion,just because it is unpopular on this site doesn't mean that I deserve to get flamed.The only things people want to talk about is the CC when it comes to the sims 2,where are the sims made with EA only content on this site?(or any,for that matter)I just see ones decked out with CC

I use a default skin replacement and eye replacements, but still use the face templates the game came with and I think I manage to make some OK looking sims in spite of this fact. You see the same thing in Sims 3, minkey. No matter which game you talk about, you will find Sims uploaded and made with custom content and/or some sort of default replacement.
Besides, I, personally, have never said I had an issue with the appearance of the sims in either game. I certainly had things I wasn't overly fond of, but I could over look them. No, my issue, as I have stated, was the game's performance and stability. My Sims 2 game, filled to bursting with custom content, works better and more reliably than my Sims 3 game, with no custom content, ever did.
Now, to make it clear, my issue with your post wasn't with you stating your opinion about the way any sim in any game looked. It was with you calling Sims 2 players shallow. Keep name calling out of it, and we're fine.
The OP asked us which game we prefer and if she should still make Sims 2 content and we're answering her and stating our opinions. No one's telling you you're wrong for preferring Sims 3. You came in here, called us shallow and told us we were blurring the line between fantasy and reality and we're reacting to it.
Now, can we please get this topic back on track?

I don't know. personally, I like them both. When I first got Sims 3 back in August 09 for my birthday, I hated it. Now that EA's released patches to fix the game, OMG, I like it so much better.
I don't know. I really enjoy the poseboxes in Sims 2 and there are so many CC creating possibilities. Far more than Sims 3. I sometimes think maybe Maxis did that on purpose for Sims 3 to maybe end the conflict about paysites. What do you guys think? I mean, think about it, a lot of things were eliminated like recoloring roflmao.
PS: I really like the sim in your avatar, Joy. Is he from your game?

Why, thank you. Yes, he is. That's Gino. :)
