While Sims 2 was limited in some ways (Closed world, and limited customization), a huge advantage to this is the fact that the devs now had all of the time they wanted to flesh out the games with tons of details, many of which weren't even necessary but they still put them in anyways. This really shows how much passion the Sims 2 devs had for the game. I guess Sims 3 could be excused for some things due to how they had to make the game's larger scale and Open World work on 2009 PCs, though some things like Couch Physics, Microwave physics, repair animations, and Pizza Physics have no excuse due to how little they impact the game's performance. At least they did make up for it with the huge breadth of content, unparalleled customisation, and other small details not present in Sims 2. Imagine what Sims 3 would've been like if they spent 1 - 2 more years on development though... Sims 4 on the other hand... it felt like they didn't even try at all, the most performance heavy parts of Sims 3 were removed in this game yet there's a severe lack of details compared to Sims 2 and 3, you would expect a game built on later tech to have more details... Also, it's not like Sims 4 gave us anything to make up for it, sure improved build buy and improved CAS are some things but this is a life sim and this is by far the worst live mode we've ever gotten, plus there's a severe lack of content compared to Sims 3 despite having 70+ DLCs already.
TS4 had its excuse for its first few years, it was a rushed project that really only had how better it looked going for it (and "smarter sims"), now tho.. no excuse, I wished they hired me or any other simmer who loves TS2 because I have my ideas for TS5..
This video convince me that sims 2 has a lot of details and the amount of stuffs make the game feel more alive. It's the only one which has pool physic and a full car animation.
Car animation has been cut because of the ability to place cars anywhere on the lot (although Roaring Heights restorable car did bring back some car animations, so there's a mod that applies them to the BG cars)... And as for pools, well, diving was only introduced in the 42nd patch, which was probably too late to implement water physics into the game...

While I do prefer Sims 3 and play that game way more often, I gotta agree with this. Everytime I play Sims 2, I feel amazed by the amount of animations my sims can do in just a few seconds, plus the animations are much more wholesome and lively than the ones in Sims 3 and 4.

ts2 strikes the perfect balance between realism and quirkiness. Plus the modding community is STILL active and amazing. It just has a soul that the other games lack in some way.
2 by far had the most love put into it. 3 replaced some of the love with ambition, cutting tiny corners to reach for the stars. 4 just cut corners because it could.
By far Sim 2 is my favorite in the series. The love and passion they put into that game can still be felt and seen. That being said, I'm not entirely against the idea of cutting corners, *if* it's in exchange for something better, new or innovative. Sims 2 knew what it could achieve and gave 100% within those boundaries. Sims 3 may have cut corners but it's because it was trying to be so ambitious. I'm not going to be too upset about missing car animations when I can drive my chosen vehicle around the world to any chosen destination. The animations of grocery shopping is something I'm willing to forgo if it means my sim can actually walk/drive/bike to the grocers without a loading screen. It's a fair exchange for some. But with sims 4... I don't see what the 'cutting corners' served outside of saving the company money. There was a time when I could argue that it was the easiest game to play, the least fussy. But not anymore. It's complete bugged out mess with many of the features players have paid for not even working. What was the point of cutting all those corners? Can't even give it credit for being prettier when that's something any game can achieve with time.
they shouldve at least been animated with cars that were put in garages. or screw that, at LEAST make the driving look good and not turn 90 degree sharp corners, ugly af
Sims 2 wins hands down, Sims 3 has similar animations but there is a slight corners are cut. Sims 4 is a whole lot of NOTHING. Even the most mundane things Sims 2 did it so well.
i could understand sims 3 as that game was super ambitious to create an open world that has the 32 bit limitation (3 gig ram limit). thats like saying sure someone assigned a single dance routine would excel that while the other person who was assigned to do a whole musical play with the same timeframe will have moments that could need improvement. if we add sims 4 in this scenario they just gave up and brought the class dvd viewing.

I love Sims 3, and it deserves it flowers. Some of its shortcoming you can blame on the change of gameplay loop (live in an open world and explore a town vs. help the Sims complete their Aspiration in life while avoid tragedy in Sims 2) and technical limitations to bring that to life.

honestly, live in an open world and explore town isnt even a good excuse considering almost every building is a rabbit hole anyway :/ and its not like car driving is made nicely either.. and the buildings that arent rabbit holes is basically the same as sims 2 community lots so... i guess you'd say the only difference is you skip a loading screen but in the long run it wasnt eve worth it with all the lag anyways
@@auzzpanda3497i think that Sims 3 open world is a game changer. You can go whenever and wherever you want, if you want to go to a place that isn't a solar you also can, recollect stones, bug, fishing in ponds... It gives you that kind of freedom that you want when you play because you can do whatever you want. It is a fact that Sims 3 precreated houses are nice looking, and each one has its own personality, which doesn't exist in the 4's, where every house is an as5hole honestly
@nachorubiolubian yeah it's definitely a plus but as I said it's all a bunch of rabbit holes anyway so it's not THAAAT huge of a plus considering the lag it brought. Also collecting bugs ok sure but not really an award winning activity
Gotta agree with this, if I had to lose some details just to get an Open World, I wouldn't mind at all, it would be horrible being stuck with closed world life sims for a while longer. Although someday I do wish that there will be a life sim that combines the depth + details of Sims 2 with the scale + breadth + customisation of Sims 3.
TS3 is one kind of a game! ❤ The amount of content & endless posibilities, makes it a bliss to play! It was literally a comfort game I used to go back to whenever I felt underwhelmed & disappointed with TS4 (back when I still believed it would somehow become an enjoyable game 💀)

Ambitions is probably the one of the best next to Late night, it gives careers (professions) that the player can interact with and various hobbies, something sims 4 just stretched over multiple pricey expansions with less depth.
But, here we were only exploring NPC ones and their interactions... The concept of control within work didn't truly exist in The Sims 2 other than owning your own businesses... And there weren't many options in The Sims 3 regarding that either...
Sims 3 will always remain my favorite sims game. I agree that some of the cool details that where in the sims 2 weren't implemented back in, but I think it was for the best since sims 3 is an open world. It wasn't out of laziness but more like for the sake of optimization. And it's still a fun game nonetheless althrough I fully undersand why people would prefer sims 2. Sims 2 and sims 3 are both good for their own reasons. Sims 4, however, has no excuses.
@@regeneratedwitch Well the leap between The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 was great... The Sims 3 felt like a so-called reworked version of The Sims 2... I always say... The Sims 3 is an exploration game and less than a life-simulating game, whereas, The Sims 2 is a life-simulating game and less of an exploration game.
Man.... We had it so good with TS2.... We really need a port of it. Also, I'm only slightly okay with TS3's car teleportation because then I can put my car wherever and it can be used. I don't have to worry about pathing and making sure it's fully accessible. Though if TS2 got ported, I'm sure someone would make a mod that does the same thing.
My niece started playing sims 2 at 5 years of age and now is 18 still plays it and sims 3 to this day. She tried playing my sims 4 On ps5 and she said it’s broke . And went back on my pc to play sims 2 or 3 .
The repair animation, cooking, and the teleporting plates and glasses in ts4 makes me so mad, couldn’t they just borrow animations from previous games if they were gonna be so lazy?
It's true that Sims 3 doesn't have a lot of the animations, but it was also in an open world. Plus it's in the base game whereas in Sims 2. It was introduced in 'NightLife' EP.
Loss of detail at least made sense in TS3 because the game made up in other ways, more customization, bigger worlds, more variety. TS4 is just a step back on all fronts
I started playing the Sims 2 again thanks, to @Keeyuh on here, and I forgot just how much fun and alive that game is ! I mean I made my sim start off in college, she got engaged while on her senior year of college on Twikki Island, graduated, had an engagement party, got married (and all the sims actually sat and clapped at the wedding) got careers (drive themselves to work they, both have cars ❤) got a pet dog, fish, and a bird, 3 kids, and one on the way 😊, and my game runs so smooth, and loads so fast, and the DETAILS make it so much better. Like the Sims 4 COULD NEVER 😂, You would think that the Sims 4 would be equal or better, and it's the WORST in the franchise. Yikes. I've always said if the developers gave us the entire Sims 2 game, but gave it Sims 4 graphics and CAS items, the sims team could've retired YEARS ago 🤷🏽♀️
Sims 2 will always be the winner, no doubt! Sims 3 has its own charm too, but Sims 2 is so memorable and paid so much attention to the smallest details, it's unmatched. Sims 4 is just an empty husk, so lifeless and unfinished...
Sims 2 is the gold medal winner, sims 3 is the silver, sims 1 is the historic honorable mention and sims 4 is still trying to book the the hotel room to stay in durinh the event.
I like how there's different hidden traits in the sims 3 and it's very nostalgic for me. It's also very fun to play without the loading screens like the sims 4. The relationships between younger sims also had some life to it to be able to go to different lots and run around them without being limited to a square box of a lot. There's some other animations to that are great in the sims 3. It feels a bit more alive to me and I myself don't really remember what the inside of stores look like or care about those animations. It gives a great setting for family activities. 😅
@@ТатьянаКотикова-я3юi love sims 4 but the graphics look so…whatever, im glad somebody finally said that! I only play with mods because the content already in the game looks very…also whatever
It is to underline that some animations being cut in the sims 3 and rabbitholes did fit since the open world system couldn't become THAT heavy. Like ok, you don't show me all the starting the engine process but you show me a car crossing a whole city. To me both 2 and 3 are cool
I just played the Sims 2 for the first time in ten years and honestly it’s so chaotic and hilarious. I loaded up the game and my sims instantly started brawling.
The only reason I can play sims 4 for hours now, it's because it has tons of gameplay mods, and yet, it deson't have the same amount of details as 2 and it shows sometimes (even with heavy mods)
I can forgive the Sims 3 having less specifc details since they did have to make it "work" on open world, yet, the sims 4 has no open world, and yet has worse details than sims 3!! Like jeeze, you scaled back the world, and didn't even add anything back.....well they did...in dlcs and packs, and junk for like 999.99 for like a set of three chairs.
The games themselves are like a family. Sims 1 is the parent who did their best and have nothing left to prove, Sims 2 is their first born and their favorite that can do no wrong, Sims 3 is the middle child who is kind of dopey but ambitious and means well... and Sims 4 was an accident.
The walking animations in sims 2 look natural. In the other 2 it looks unnatural. I liked the graphics and cartoon style of sims 2, it had a great balance between quirky and realistic and with mods it can be made even better looking if someone wants to modernise it. Love the wants based system, don't really like the moodlets from later 2 sims games. Open world was nice but loading screens don't bother me. Do house stuff during loading screens and stretching legs.
This what you get of firing experienced workers for so called cost-cutting-but-CEO's-belly-filling strategy and hiring multiple freshers for the same cost
Sims 4: I would say with the grocery store thing the closest you would have is either 'get to work' ep, In which you can sort of have a grocery store. By selling it. You also have those tables that you can do for yard sales. There's also the market in cottage living.
So basically for the next game they should merge the 3 games. Sims 2 for all the details that feels realistic, open world and fun from Sims 3, building features from Sims 4.
To be honest for the sims4 u need so many packs to stuff u want to do Frr without packs the sims4 boring fr but with the sims3 without pack is fun and u can do so much i never played the sims2 so i can’t say much on it but sims2 seen like really fun and a lot of detail compared to the sims4 i would definitely try to get my hands on the sims2
the chopping anims for ts4 pisses me off sooo bad bc these are adults but theyre cutting like absolute babies??? in ts2, even if ur culinary skills are low, they dont cut like absolute children handling a knife for the first time
The Sims 3 is a great game, but I find it disappointing how many people are ignoring the laziness EA displayed with the car animations. I didn't like how the Sims would teleport in and out of the car and for the car to disappear from the driveway. The Sims 2 was spot-on with the car animations and other aspects as well. Even though it may have had some limitations, it was still a great game and still is. Other than that, both games are good. Unfortunately, I find The Sims 4 boring.
At this rate the Sims 5 will just pull fully cooked meals immediately from the fridge. Then Sims 6 will just click on the fridge and automatically fill hunger meter. Then Sims 7 will just not have needs to take care of.
Sims 5 would be great if it had graphics and build mode like 4, open world, some CAS features that aren’t on 4 such as zodiac, color wheel, and the materials and designs, and all the love and extra animations like 2. What else can you think of? I hope paralives does all this and much more us sim players aren’t familiar with.
SIMS4 is absolute laziness they didn't even give a damn about repairing animations a bit he just literally pull out a imaginary component and starts fixing it while in SIMS 3 at least he is fixing the thing and in SIMS 2 he is rotating and playing with it which suggest he is trying to find and fix a problem more believable. Also kids interactions in 2 look better more alive in 3-4 it's like "...." so boring.
I played all the Sims games, and in my opinion 4 has the illusion of depth but is actually fairly superficial. I was overwhelmed when I started playing, but it got boring and repetitive quickly. In the first 3, I still felt like I had a complete experience playing the base game, but 4 feels like there's not much to do without expansions...
Con mis sims 3 no te vas a estar metiendo 😂 bueno igual encantan los sims 2 y 4, pero la dos de verdad que esos detallazos lo son todo❤ This is a good video!
Sims 1 will hold a special place always. Out of the whole franchise Sims 2 was better imo. I played a lot of Sims 3 as well and it was in its way also good. I will not spend a dime on Sims 4 - sorry.
Sims 2 - has better animations, physics, interactions, some models and textures. Sims 3 - has better shadows Sims 4 - more cartoony than other parts of the Sims (however, Sims 4 overall graphics obviously looks better, but it uses less details than Sims 2)
in my opinion cooking in the sims 2 was badly devolved in the sims 4 because you see him getting the pans and different utensils out whereas in the sims 4, things kinda just teleports into their hands
Sims 2: Let's choose to focus on the little details! Sims 3: We can't choose to focus on the little details, we're making a big open world! Sims 4: Let's choose to not focus on the little details... or the big details... or anything!
Справедливости ради: симс 3 с открытым миром, там не на одном участке кипит жизнь и такая проработанность, как в симс 2, просто бы не позволила запустить симс 3 вообще ни на каких пк
The perfect Sims would be the one that has TS2 gameplay depth and non-buggy DLCs, TS3’s open world and TS4’s QoL features. But alas, the game industry has no passion anymore… due to laziness and/or corporates greed that kills any devs motivation to hone their craft.
I would LIKE to SEE a grocery store pack of some type be made for Sims 4. They have a shopping food store in Sims 2 so I think IF we could have something like that in sims 4 and have those kinds of items like they did in sims 2 than players who play Sims 4 like myself and other players Could Create our OWN grocery store and have our Sims go grocery shopping. I think that would be pretty cool as well as give the Sims 4 base game MORE of a good game play. Just a thought though. But what do you guys on here think? Does anyone who plays Sims 4 think we SHOULD have a grocery store pack? Like either a game pack or Exspansion pack? Let me know your thoughts here in comments. 👍✌
After the sims 2 was made. They became very lazy with gameplay specifics and details. They care more abouy packs and money than they do the actual game play experience.

@@auzzpanda3497i think that Sims 3 open world is a game changer. You can go whenever and wherever you want, if you want to go to a place that isn't a solar you also can, recollect stones, bug, fishing in ponds...
It gives you that kind of freedom that you want when you play because you can do whatever you want.
It is a fact that Sims 3 precreated houses are nice looking, and each one has its own personality, which doesn't exist in the 4's, where every house is an as5hole honestly
@nachorubiolubian yeah it's definitely a plus but as I said it's all a bunch of rabbit holes anyway so it's not THAAAT huge of a plus considering the lag it brought. Also collecting bugs ok sure but not really an award winning activity
@@auzzpanda3497 In my case I've never had lag playing the Sims 3, so I can say nothing about that
To be fair, if the price for an open world is less animations, it's completely fine. Sims 3 for ever ❤
Gotta agree with this, if I had to lose some details just to get an Open World, I wouldn't mind at all, it would be horrible being stuck with closed world life sims for a while longer. Although someday I do wish that there will be a life sim that combines the depth + details of Sims 2 with the scale + breadth + customisation of Sims 3.
TS3 is one kind of a game! ❤
The amount of content & endless posibilities, makes it a bliss to play!
It was literally a comfort game I used to go back to whenever I felt underwhelmed & disappointed with TS4 (back when I still believed it would somehow become an enjoyable game 💀)

Agreed.
@@Atsuhiko8888totally agree
Sims 3: with the expansion pack of ambitions, you could actually play as a firefighter. Too bad you did not show that.
Ambitions is probably the one of the best next to Late night, it gives careers (professions) that the player can interact with and various hobbies, something sims 4 just stretched over multiple pricey expansions with less depth.
But, here we were only exploring NPC ones and their interactions... The concept of control within work didn't truly exist in The Sims 2 other than owning your own businesses... And there weren't many options in The Sims 3 regarding that either...
Sims 3 will always remain my favorite sims game. I agree that some of the cool details that where in the sims 2 weren't implemented back in, but I think it was for the best since sims 3 is an open world. It wasn't out of laziness but more like for the sake of optimization. And it's still a fun game nonetheless althrough I fully undersand why people would prefer sims 2. Sims 2 and sims 3 are both good for their own reasons. Sims 4, however, has no excuses.
Для меня тоже открытый мир симс 3 ценнее мелких деталей в симс 2.
i find the sims in 3 much more lifeless and robotic than 2. open world couldn't fix that for me.
@@freudianslippers6567I get it but at least the sims 3 improved in countless areas, it was ambitious. Not that the sims 2 wasn’t, it was a huge leap.
@@regeneratedwitch Well the leap between The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 was great... The Sims 3 felt like a so-called reworked version of The Sims 2...
I always say... The Sims 3 is an exploration game and less than a life-simulating game, whereas, The Sims 2 is a life-simulating game and less of an exploration game.
@@javadbahram795 I don’t exactly agree. I feel like it’s both.
glad you touched on the walking animation
Man.... We had it so good with TS2.... We really need a port of it.
Also, I'm only slightly okay with TS3's car teleportation because then I can put my car wherever and it can be used. I don't have to worry about pathing and making sure it's fully accessible.
Though if TS2 got ported, I'm sure someone would make a mod that does the same thing.
i am so glad i'm a sims 2 girly, grew up playing it so much in my childhood and i still play it from time to time now. it's the best sims game!
same. I still play Sims2 and 3. I uninstalled the sims4
My niece started playing sims 2 at 5 years of age and now is 18 still plays it and sims 3 to this day. She tried playing my sims 4 On ps5 and she said it’s broke . And went back on my pc to play sims 2 or 3 .
I'm curious to see how they want to dumb down Sims 5 / Project Rene compared to Sims 4.
I know it won't be easy. But if anyone can do it, it's EA...
Don't even get me started!! 😭😭
housers will have invisible walls + invisible chairs, due to the new rendering game engine, ultra open world so they must cut corners
It will probably be subscription based, pay per day or something knowing EA that wouldn't shock me
helicopter was such a flex
The repair animation, cooking, and the teleporting plates and glasses in ts4 makes me so mad, couldn’t they just borrow animations from previous games if they were gonna be so lazy?
It's true that Sims 3 doesn't have a lot of the animations, but it was also in an open world. Plus it's in the base game whereas in Sims 2. It was introduced in 'NightLife' EP.
That Sims 4 guy waiting for something all day 😂
Loss of detail at least made sense in TS3 because the game made up in other ways, more customization, bigger worlds, more variety.
TS4 is just a step back on all fronts
I started playing the Sims 2 again thanks, to @Keeyuh on here, and I forgot just how much fun and alive that game is ! I mean I made my sim start off in college, she got engaged while on her senior year of college on Twikki Island, graduated, had an engagement party, got married (and all the sims actually sat and clapped at the wedding) got careers (drive themselves to work they, both have cars ❤) got a pet dog, fish, and a bird, 3 kids, and one on the way 😊, and my game runs so smooth, and loads so fast, and the DETAILS make it so much better. Like the Sims 4 COULD NEVER 😂, You would think that the Sims 4 would be equal or better, and it's the WORST in the franchise. Yikes. I've always said if the developers gave us the entire Sims 2 game, but gave it Sims 4 graphics and CAS items, the sims team could've retired YEARS ago 🤷🏽♀️
Sims 2 will always be the winner, no doubt! Sims 3 has its own charm too, but Sims 2 is so memorable and paid so much attention to the smallest details, it's unmatched. Sims 4 is just an empty husk, so lifeless and unfinished...
Sims 2 is the gold medal winner, sims 3 is the silver, sims 1 is the historic honorable mention and sims 4 is still trying to book the the hotel room to stay in durinh the event.
I like how there's different hidden traits in the sims 3 and it's very nostalgic for me. It's also very fun to play without the loading screens like the sims 4. The relationships between younger sims also had some life to it to be able to go to different lots and run around them without being limited to a square box of a lot. There's some other animations to that are great in the sims 3. It feels a bit more alive to me and I myself don't really remember what the inside of stores look like or care about those animations. It gives a great setting for family activities. 😅
Sims 4 Is basically teleport ing
Sims 3 lacked animations, but at least the world felt alive... sims 4 fails at both things 😩
If you have For Rent, the Sims 4 has burglars, but they are the player's sims. Also, there is a mod that brings them back as NPCs.
a dream come true would be a game with sims 2 animations, sims 3 content, and sims 4 graphics
О, нет! Мне не нужна пластмассовая графика симс 4, где всё напоминает домики Барби.
@@ТатьянаКотикова-я3юi love sims 4 but the graphics look so…whatever, im glad somebody finally said that! I only play with mods because the content already in the game looks very…also whatever
Nooo! Not the clay hair 😭😭😭
Sims 4 team could make Vlad behave like a burglar and evilly drink blood out of your Sim but couldn't get Burglar NPC to work. FML
It is to underline that some animations being cut in the sims 3 and rabbitholes did fit since the open world system couldn't become THAT heavy. Like ok, you don't show me all the starting the engine process but you show me a car crossing a whole city. To me both 2 and 3 are cool
I mean, for my, Sims 3 are the best, for all they have and how they combine that
love your vids!!! it's insane how the sims 2 came out 20 years ago and it's still the best game in the franchise
I just played the Sims 2 for the first time in ten years and honestly it’s so chaotic and hilarious. I loaded up the game and my sims instantly started brawling.
I don't want the sims 5, I want a sims 2 remake! Same game with latest graphics.
The only reason I can play sims 4 for hours now, it's because it has tons of gameplay mods, and yet, it deson't have the same amount of details as 2 and it shows sometimes (even with heavy mods)
I can forgive the Sims 3 having less specifc details since they did have to make it "work" on open world, yet, the sims 4 has no open world, and yet has worse details than sims 3!! Like jeeze, you scaled back the world, and didn't even add anything back.....well they did...in dlcs and packs, and junk for like 999.99 for like a set of three chairs.
Ts4 sucks...
Atleast on pc there’s mods and cc but it’s worse on console .
@@kingkushezio2581 I can imagine
The games themselves are like a family. Sims 1 is the parent who did their best and have nothing left to prove, Sims 2 is their first born and their favorite that can do no wrong, Sims 3 is the middle child who is kind of dopey but ambitious and means well... and Sims 4 was an accident.
You are on EA’s NECK with these videos I am living
The walking animations in sims 2 look natural. In the other 2 it looks unnatural. I liked the graphics and cartoon style of sims 2, it had a great balance between quirky and realistic and with mods it can be made even better looking if someone wants to modernise it. Love the wants based system, don't really like the moodlets from later 2 sims games. Open world was nice but loading screens don't bother me. Do house stuff during loading screens and stretching legs.
In The Sims 4 : They also have different walk styles
That nobody has ever used or cared about or asked for 😅
Oh how I love ts2.
This what you get of firing experienced workers for so called cost-cutting-but-CEO's-belly-filling strategy and hiring multiple freshers for the same cost
Sims 4: I would say with the grocery store thing the closest you would have is either 'get to work' ep, In which you can sort of have a grocery store. By selling it. You also have those tables that you can do for yard sales. There's also the market in cottage living.
Sims 2 and Sims 3 had a lot more game play. I have to use mods to keep me interested in playing Sims 4.
The Sims4 is embarrasing at this point
So basically for the next game they should merge the 3 games. Sims 2 for all the details that feels realistic, open world and fun from Sims 3, building features from Sims 4.
Mind y'all, Sims 2 came out in 2004!
A devolution, indeed!
unpopular opinion but the car animations for sims 4 is probably my favorite
The devolution of the pizza is so sad.
To be honest for the sims4 u need so many packs to stuff u want to do Frr without packs the sims4 boring fr but with the sims3 without pack is fun and u can do so much i never played the sims2 so i can’t say much on it but sims2 seen like really fun and a lot of detail compared to the sims4 i would definitely try to get my hands on the sims2
the chopping anims for ts4 pisses me off sooo bad bc these are adults but theyre cutting like absolute babies??? in ts2, even if ur culinary skills are low, they dont cut like absolute children handling a knife for the first time
The Sims 3 is a great game, but I find it disappointing how many people are ignoring the laziness EA displayed with the car animations. I didn't like how the Sims would teleport in and out of the car and for the car to disappear from the driveway. The Sims 2 was spot-on with the car animations and other aspects as well. Even though it may have had some limitations, it was still a great game and still is. Other than that, both games are good. Unfortunately, I find The Sims 4 boring.
Frankly I’m okay with the car thing because it sounds like a nightmare for them to figure out where any unconventionally places driveways are.
the sims 2 is the most detail ever and made by heart not profit , the sims 4 is only made for profit with the tons of dlc
At this rate the Sims 5 will just pull fully cooked meals immediately from the fridge. Then Sims 6 will just click on the fridge and automatically fill hunger meter. Then Sims 7 will just not have needs to take care of.
This video would make much more sense and be much less confusing if the three different screens were labeled
The reason why I stayed for Sims 4 is for the community.
Sims 4 is deliberately that way because it gives the developer excuse to create separate features as dlc
It’s really sad seeing this and thinking that the Sims 4 could have been so much better if it didn’t cut corners so much.
Sims 5 would be great if it had graphics and build mode like 4, open world, some CAS features that aren’t on 4 such as zodiac, color wheel, and the materials and designs, and all the love and extra animations like 2. What else can you think of? I hope paralives does all this and much more us sim players aren’t familiar with.
8:27 - Proof that TS3 has the best looking sims. TS4 ones look like clay figures with the stupid grin most of the time. 😩
SIMS4 is absolute laziness they didn't even give a damn about repairing animations a bit he just literally pull out a imaginary component and starts fixing it while in SIMS 3 at least he is fixing the thing and in SIMS 2 he is rotating and playing with it which suggest he is trying to find and fix a problem more believable. Also kids interactions in 2 look better more alive in 3-4 it's like "...." so boring.
Sims 3: The grocery stores are a rabbit hole, however It was the base game, Sims 2 Open for business.
Actually, TS2 had grocery stores, game stores and even book/magazine stores in the base game
I played all the Sims games, and in my opinion 4 has the illusion of depth but is actually fairly superficial. I was overwhelmed when I started playing, but it got boring and repetitive quickly. In the first 3, I still felt like I had a complete experience playing the base game, but 4 feels like there's not much to do without expansions...
Con mis sims 3 no te vas a estar metiendo 😂 bueno igual encantan los sims 2 y 4, pero la dos de verdad que esos detallazos lo son todo❤ This is a good video!
Sims 1 will hold a special place always. Out of the whole franchise Sims 2 was better imo. I played a lot of Sims 3 as well and it was in its way also good. I will not spend a dime on Sims 4 - sorry.
Sims 2 - has better animations, physics, interactions, some models and textures.
Sims 3 - has better shadows
Sims 4 - more cartoony than other parts of the Sims (however, Sims 4 overall graphics obviously looks better, but it uses less details than Sims 2)
You know of they bring cars back you'd have to pay for it
you even have to pay for a vacuum cleaner and thats then the only thing you get not even a broom or something🤣 It’s looking like sims “free”play now 😅
@@LianeCarinaNothing like freeplay.
@@nervousheadache there you can buy those little stuff too right
The cars spaced out and were never seen again..
in my opinion cooking in the sims 2 was badly devolved in the sims 4 because you see him getting the pans and different utensils out whereas in the sims 4, things kinda just teleports into their hands
sims2 was more detail than sims3 and sims4
I got a new idea for sims4 1000th DLC!!
Call "Real Living".
The gameplay is : buy groceries, robber and school bus!!
Sims 2: Let's choose to focus on the little details!
Sims 3: We can't choose to focus on the little details, we're making a big open world!
Sims 4: Let's choose to not focus on the little details... or the big details... or anything!
Sims 2 guy stole the shopping basket and put it in his fridge brooo 😂
Crazy how the more money they have the less time they put into their games
2:30 that burp caught me off guard 😭
Sure we gained some quality of life improvements with the sims 4 (for the parts that work anyway), but my god at what cost
the car animation though...
the sims 4 footage, im dying kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
If TS2 had a search bar and tags on the bb, I'd 'never' play TS4 again...
Sims 2 Will always be the BEST🙂
true! always will be, they will never make a better sims, we know it, sims 4 is the proof of it
Wish sims 2 had the sims 4 graphics.......... and build mode
Справедливости ради: симс 3 с открытым миром, там не на одном участке кипит жизнь и такая проработанность, как в симс 2, просто бы не позволила запустить симс 3 вообще ни на каких пк
Sims 2 was ahead of its time
The perfect Sims would be the one that has TS2 gameplay depth and non-buggy DLCs, TS3’s open world and TS4’s QoL features.
But alas, the game industry has no passion anymore… due to laziness and/or corporates greed that kills any devs motivation to hone their craft.
I would LIKE to SEE a grocery store pack of some type be made for Sims 4. They have a shopping food store in Sims 2 so I think IF we could have something like that in sims 4 and have those kinds of items like they did in sims 2 than players who play Sims 4 like myself and other players Could Create our OWN grocery store and have our Sims go grocery shopping. I think that would be pretty cool as well as give the Sims 4 base game MORE of a good game play. Just a thought though. But what do you guys on here think? Does anyone who plays Sims 4 think we SHOULD have a grocery store pack? Like either a game pack or Exspansion pack? Let me know your thoughts here in comments. 👍✌
You want to pay for that feature? Are you crazy
After the sims 2 was made. They became very lazy with gameplay specifics and details. They care more abouy packs and money than they do the actual game play experience.
I love the antics of scorned lovers in Sims2 lol They held a grudge!!!
That poor baby girl spinning like her life depended on it, and not a single nod in appreciation! Here's to more years of Sims 2!
We need The Sims 2 Remake/Remaster
They should've taken their time with The Sims 4 it mightve been better if they did
Me, someone who has only played Sims 4, Medieval, and 3 CAS: THERE WERE GARAGES IN THE SIMS??
They reused alot of the animations from sims 2 in the sims 3 why couldn't they reuse the cool cooking animations and pizza delivery in the sims 3.
