The game is just as silly and fun as I remember. The sims are more violent. I have to admit it's sort of uncomfortable to watch Lilith pleasant be slapped around by her hateful evil twin sibling.
My one gripe is the camera. The live/build mode camera is terrible. You cant angle it right on to look at your builds straight . And it's unsteady. Other than that it's really playable and fun until I get my new computer to play sins 4

Thanks for sharing your observation. I haven't played with toddlers. I'm only going to play with the premades
Families are harder in 2 but I think it’s because it’s a more challenging game. In a good way.
Just make sure you read the instructions carefully. It does not go in downloads like other mods. Make sure you make a backup of your camera file before putting it in. That way if you don't like it, you can just switch out the files again.
You have to tilt your mouse and then raise or lower the camera (hit tab) use keyboard shorts to set the camera at the angle of where you want it. Honestly you have more option to get any angle you want in TS2 rather than in TS3 or TS4. It takes a little practice to look straight on into your Sim's eyes, etc. If you don't want to use mods. And good luck with making the sisters friends, because they are programmed to hate each other.
ETA: What I find more uncomfortable was TS4 wife not saying a word to her cheating husband but hanging out and joking with his lover....I was always thinking, What are you doing? Why are you a doormat, slap somebody! kick him out, tell him off, slap that bimbo and show you are not a push over.
Same here! I’m playing the Grunt household and Tank keeps wanting to slap Ripp any time he’s not selected. I have to keep canceling the interaction. I might try to build the dysfunctional family’s relationship at some point, but at the moment it just seems like too much a hassle.

You could get TS2U for free if you win The Sims 18th anniversary challenges, they are giving it away if you win a contest.
This works well if you have Seasons and try and make friends or repair relationships in the summertime. They get a slight social boost during the summer. The lifetime and daily scores get a boost in the summer as well.
> I’ve been debating back and forth if I want to download TS2 from the Mac App Store lately. I didn’t realize mods were still up
I think modders are still creating as much new content daily for TS2 as for TS3/4.
Oh ya absolutely! Actually now a days there are some fantastic mods and CC coming out! Things you never thought possible in the past are being done.
yes, the CAS sliders have surprised me a lot
Oh I know! I was shocked to see those released, everyone always said it couldn't be done. There are some very talented people making things for 2. Just in the last few days there have been awesome mods and CC released on MTS alone. Taking Toddlers and pets on vacation, Prom and after school hobby activities, mood swings for pregnant sims, teens, and mid-life crisis. Toddlers playing peek-a-boo with each other. Plus a actual sofa bed that works! Sweeeeeet!! I went on a downloading frenzy lately. To bad I haven't had time to play with any of it yet
Please Jules, don't get me started...I swore off cc downloading the past couple months since you know I had so much Trillions! lol I don't want to know....sneaks off to see MTS cc.
Congrats OP, I guess you got your new pc!
It is right here! http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=607165

> Taking Toddlers and pets on vacation

do you mind telling me where you got it?
Answered in the other thread.
When I first played the Pleasant household I didn't like all the fighting that was going on with the twins. So I used the Grandparents to "influence" each of their personalities. It took a while but I found it fun to change them slightly so they would be nicer to each other LOL
