Which is your favorite The Sims game?

I hate to admit it because I love The Sims franchise but...I was bored with TS4 so last night I played TS3 and just wondered; besides it crashing all the time I still don't understand why TS4 came out...its beautiful in itself but it's been THREE years and still no significantly big things. Meanwhile...while playing TS3 my Sim traveled to the future, formed a band and played a concert in the rain, then lounged in a chaise lounge by the pool before laying on her bed to watch tv with her dog! TS3 was just so FUN and there were countless things to do it wasn't so controlled there was more freedom
And I didn't wanna stop playing. The opportunities were endless. With this being said however TS4 is my favorite. Mainly because it's the newest, I still have hope as a veteran simmer for 17 years and the attention to detail makes it so artistic. Just saying...what are you thinking about TS4 now? Have your thoughts changed? And which Sims version is your favorite?

The content is getting really good. Love Dine Out, and Vamps, and the more recent SPs have been really good too.
I really and truly can't wait for what the devs have in store for us for the rest of this series.
TS2 will always have my heart and I love all the emotions and reactions that it has but TS4's toddlers have really made me start loving this one as well!
Sims 2 is outdated, and feels very clunky to play.
Sims 3 i- THE PROGRAM CRASHED.
But when it comes to the characters themselves, I prefer the Sims 2. Their reactions are so funny and still more realistic, and there is some human warmth that is unique to the sims 2. And as an adult, I prefer the Sims 2's social interactions.
I've tried to get attached to the sims 4 like the others, it has a few very good things like its toddlers, its occults and its improved AI, and I like the expansions and game packs, but there are too many flaws at the core of the base game to make me truly enjoy it ; I'm afraid its base game will always make it stay very far behind the Sims 3 and 2 in my heart. And I'm saying this as somebody who played with the other versions' base game only for a long time, so I'm comparing my personal view of all base games without add-ons here.

Even though TS3 had a cool open world concept, couldn't stand the CAS or simpoint system.
The Sims 4 gallery is the bees knees, build mode is very fluid, CAS is flexible, and the game looks pretty plum good. Sure, something is always broken, but the the empty parts to our painting are slowly being filled in.

No matter what, Sims 4 can't hold my interest very long. I'll continue to play it every now and then but I don't see myself ever playing it for hours on end.

Sims 3 is just plain ugly.
Sims 2 was great too.
Can't remember Sims 1.
I've had so much fun with all of them...
I'd have to say TS2 is my favorite based on how it made me feel at the time.
However TS4 has recaptured a lot of the charm of TS2 (for me at least) and I'm becoming more convinced by the time it ends, it will be my favorite.

What are some bad things about TS4 Base Game? I'm intrigued.
My Sims 3 blog, Back to the Sims 3
TS2 because it progressed a lot and brought so much in-depth relevant gameplay while also expanding on the previous TS core. All the interactions and features of the base game and expansion packs were well done and the attention to detail truly make this game still enjoyable. When it comes to being the most in-depth and detailed gameplay wise, TS2 easily wins in that department. However, when it comes to how the game looks I prefer TS3 along with the subtle animations than TS2 exaggeration/squash and stretch in some situations.
TS3 because it introduced a whole new way to play and opened up so many possibilities that, to me, is needed for not only the genre it represents but also to continue to improve upon important features and keep advancing to honestly be called innovative. There are a lot of great features but unfortunately, not everything was executed well, nonetheless, that didn't affect the game so much that it became a horrible experience. Another thing that is disappointing the fact EA did not take full advantage of the open world concept and omitted what has always been a part of The Sims and The Sims 2 which is open shopping and dining.
Regardless, the open world is one of the best features in TS series. No longer confined to one lot at a time with a loading screen in-between. Plus I can finally go visit neighbors, friends, family, and I absolutely love being able to switch between household members anytime. Not only are there no loading screens within the neighborhood which make it truly an immersive life simulator but you actually can see the simulation of everyday life all around. This way Sims have become more aware of their surroundings. This affects how Sims see each other in ways that were not possible before. The AI seems quite complex.
However, this picture is taken from my main save. I think in this context the jogger icon along with his facial expression just as Jean walked passed him seems to mean he is not happy with the pace of things between them. Even though Jean is in a relationship with Chi, she would flirt a lot with Tendai but awhile ago he confessed to Jean and later Chi he was in love with her. I don't think she is serious about him because she finally has the guy she wanted but a part of the problem, I think, is based on the failure of Chi's first relationship and he chooses not to really connect on an emotional level. But possible that he is bad at emotionally connecting and hence a part of the reason why his first relationship failed and having issues with his new lover. This is why she uses Tendai even knowing he is serious about wanting to be with her.
The rest of the story has not unfolded yet since I have not really been playing lately. Been doing more building and setting up for a new save to transfer.
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter”

Why do you miss #TS3? Can't you play it whenever you want?
I understand. Was just wondering if we had similar opinions. You can PM if you want and we can have a proper rant! :-p
