I'm wondering what is happening to Sims 2.  Lots of people don't care for Sims 3.  Modders say Sims 3 doesn't give them the opportunity to create like Sims 2 does.  There has been some great stuff created recently for Sims 2 (BBv2 & LBBv2), but with many of the best modders retiring and significant drop-off in new things being created I'm wondering if people aren't actually playing.  There are over 49,000 member to this site.  But people rarely quit a site, they just stop going to it.  So, I'd like to know how many of the 49,000 members still play or use Sims 2 (in any way,i.e. stories ...)!  And if that is a significant number, I hope the modders see it as an opportunity to still create to a large audiance!

Moved to the Sims 2 discussion section.

And yes, I still play sims 2. I don't have much time, any more, because I am (once again) gainfully employed, but I still play.

Oh, there are still a lot of people who play the game-but this isn't the only forum they go to, either. The creators that are still producing things for Sims 2 are plentiful.
I'd say that Sims 3, after all this time, has really not made that much of a dent into the Sims 2 crowd, and in fact, has increased it because a lot of players are giving up on it and going back to the old game due to numerous issues. There are a lot of Sims 2 players who refused to buy Sims 3 outright.
Oh, I do still play, too, regularly-and my downloads folder is groaning.

I agree with your comments Mary H!  I think that Sims 3 should be creating a resurgence in Sims2.  There is a lot of great stuff being created and still some great modders creating, but there are also a lot of high-level modders retiring and maybe people should see how many people are still playing!

Okay, understood!  And Thanks Caffeinated Joy and MaryH for your comments and participating in the poll!

Haven't played TS2 much lately, but I have done a few photoshoots for creations. So I guess you could say I'm still playing TS2. It's kind of become "serious" for me, as I use it for my story.

I do play TS3 sometimes, but mostly "for fun" (like I used to do with TS2 the first few years). I don't have any CC for it yet, and I haven't played it more than once since I moved. Don't have much time for fun playing any more, so I concentrate on TS2. I still can't see myself using TS3 for stories, though.
