ALL THOSE CARS! MWAH
Sims 1 is glorious at it's time.
Sims 2 can't say because I never play it.
Sims 4 ... $uck in my opinion. Just like Simcity 2013.

When TS4 came out I always said that my favorite was The Sims 3 but going back to it, it's too slow and heavy to enjoy it. I love it, but I've gotten used to The Sims 4, which I love right now.
It's a really hard decision, though, they're all great. I have so many memories of playing TS1 and TS2 for hours.
& i think it will be very unfair to TS1, because most of today's players didn't play it at all
for me there is no best sims game, they have all their strong & weak sides
TS1 is untouchable, without its success there wouldn't have been any more sims games
TS2 has the richest gameplay, the most aware sims & is the most complete as a life simulation
TS3 is a beast of content but trunkated in two important areas, apartments & business, incl restaurants
TS4 has the prettiest sims & easiest build mode but its gameplay is beyond lacking, it's the most boring & incomplete of them all & thus the worst

So, Sims 3 was a wonderful break-through for me. I could change colors of everthing in game easily. (The drawback might be that there are too many options in CAStyle and CASim. It's a shame we can't delete some of those preloaded styles and clothes that we don't want in our games.)
Sims 4 quit being something to be excited about as soon as I learned there would be no CAS. I looked at the CAS demo and enjoyed being able to do more 3D manipulation, but not at the expensive of losing color options. I tried to make a sim (personality and goal) I would enjoy playing and found only one option that appealed to me at all.
I like customizing my environments. Color is important to me. Mismatched textures and colors on clothes and in homes are just, "NO! Thank you. Not for me."
I also like the lifetime wants and the traits. I can enjoy playing almost all the career options - self-employed or rabbit hole. I love jogging though town and stopping at different places on the way home from work.
Sims 3 and me... a solid match!

random legacy
Compared to Sims 2 all the other games just lack something:
1. Sims 1 had no aging, ugly graphics and too tiresome gameplay.
2. Sims 3 had an open world but for a terrible price. Suddenly we could only play one family, the neighborhood was way too small and couldn't be expanded by adding subhoods anymore. Besides that all the other families was only used to create an illusion of life in the neighborhood (which often had empty nightclubs anyway) and the story progression could destroy everything in those other families at random. World Adventures was a good EP though. But after this I soon stopped playing the game.
3. Sims 4 was an attempt to repair some of the problems in Sims 3. But there no built-in stories and family play is dumped down by simplified babies, omitted toddlers and simplified (too high) teens. The neighborhoods are small so most of the sims are homeless and it has relationships and emotions which are created in no time at all. So it has no depth, is very superficial and is only for people (probably young teens) who only wants to have a liittle fun after using most of their time to create sims and to build houses. It's gameplay is much too superficial for me. So I don't play it anymore.
