Sims 2 or Sims 3?
bollyknickers:
Sims 2. The custom content has changed a seemingly ugly game with good potential into a masterpiece...and it will take a lot to do the same for sims 3. The graphics have been made too cartoony - and of course pudding-like - and the game has become less functional, although more features were introduced.

I been playing sims 3 but mostly its a go to while my sims 2 game is being redone. Im redownloading a lot of stuff and starting from scratch so I get things organized. Its taking a while so inbetween doing that Im playing 3. I like 3 but its nothing in compairison to sims 2. I miss being able to actually go IN the restraunts and stuff plus the pudding uglyness is hard to beat out of them. I had my self sim go into the stylist job just to make everone in the hood over LOL. I dont ever think I will use sims 3 as anything other than a "Im bored and I want something thoughtless to do but I already read all my new books and I already been playing 2 for a while, oh theirs 3... lets do that for now till Im ready to go back in 2" kinda thing.

If I went into the many, many, MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNY reasons why TS2 is plain and simply a more superior creative experience then it's follow up, I'd be sitting here until midnight typing. Instead, I'll truncate things by saying that from a creative standpoint, TS2 offers more then TS3 will ever have. Even now to this day, people are still bangin' out awesome CC for TS2, at a higher regularity then they do for TS3. There are more tools available for creators and more freedom to use those tools. Sims are more then just virtual avatars, they are expressions of the creator's inner being. You can gather a lot about a person in how they create their sims, because it shows what said person perceives the world around them as. The Sims Community at large exists because of TS2. The game itself is a piece of Video Gaming history. You have console, mainstream games that have borrowed from the formula of TS2 in you being able to turn the world the game exists in into whatever you wish it to be. On that alone, let alone the many other reasons I'm not bringing up, TS2 is the one and only Sims game I'll ever play. Unless TS4 is a groundbreaking work of technical genius that is. (And I'm not exactly holding my breath on that one...)

I'm a sims 2 fan all da way! And always will be. The only reason I'm still playing sims 3 is cuz my laptop needs to be repaired and I lost most of my sims 2 discs so there's no way for me to play it on the family desktop

I'll admit that I abandoned Sims 1 rather precipitously when I was able to buy Sims 2-even though at the time, I swore it would never be bettered. I was proven very, very wrong in my assessment-but now that I've played Sims 2 for nearly 4 years I can say that Sims 3 holds very little if any appeal for me.
Myriad reasons, but the most compelling one is the sheer incompetence that EA has demonstrated in bringing Sims 3 out, in making it playable and their level of customer service (absolutely as little as possible.)
They dropped the ball on this one big time, and after reading all the complaints and reviews that other players have given, I will not abandon Sims 2.
They had a glorious chance to blow the series right out of the ball park, and blew it. That will not be forgotten by the more senior of players. They kiddified it to death and made it as hollow as possible while making as much money as possible.
We won't even go into the issue of the EADM and EA's cute idea of "logging" players while on-line.
Now, excuse me while I go hug my simmies and tell them they have a safe home on my computer. They're not going to be evicted for some shallow wannabe of a game. Never.
Also-if I look very closely at my game with it's graphics, the game is almost the equal if not better in graphical quality than Sims 3. No joke-sometimes I can't even tell I'm really playing the older of the two, and I don't even have to deal with the puddings!
