I continue playing my game as I have the time. I wouldn't say that I'm a casual gamer, just that I really have a lot going on. Playing my mega rotation when I have the time is really fun.
I've loved other games and series some of which have disappeared. I'm probably a bit of a wild card in terms of the future but I have no plans to abandon my current game. It also helps that I play it on the best computer that I've ever had. I'm not playing it on a toaster.
I agree the thing I miss having most in Sims 4 is the color wheel. By removing it it took a lot of the creativity out of the game in my opinion.
Sims 2 was great from a gameplay point of view, loved most of the expansions but the graphics didn't age that well. Looking back I really don't like the ways sims looked, CaS was still a bit limited imho. It was a great experience back then but I don't think I would play it now.
Sims 3 had a lot of potential but sadly it had a lot of issues. Open world was a great idea but it felt clunky and weird, expecially for me as a WoW player, which has an amazing open world you can fully explore. I wasn't a fan of all the rabbit holes either and I remember that I always played with a bit of anxiety because of the frequent corrupted saves. I always had to save the whole time creating multiple saves to avoid errors and losing all my gameplay... that was super annoying. Like TS2, the more realistic graphics didn't age so well.
Sims 4 felt lackluster at the start, like a step back from TS3. I didn't like the more cartoony graphics at first but now I must admit that I love the way my sims look, and with a few mods to tweak some things here and there, it looks perfect. This kind of graphics don't have that "it didn't age well" that more realistic games have and it still looks fresh.
Love the way you can use CaS and build mode now. I still miss some things like cars but it's not a huge deal. I'm having a blast playing, enjoying it a lot. The Sims 5 can wait.
So... it's TS4 > TS1 > TS2 > TS3 for me.
Simmin' since 2000
I just wish they would perfect the issues that come with that type of game.
Sims 2 seems to be popular aswell but I've never played it, the sims 3 graphics are only just about tolerable so anything older would be too much
✨ manifesting an italian inspired world ✨
Sims Medieval because it's literally your sim in the past.
Sims 4 for the Graphics, better Build mode, Windenburg & Strangerville.

Sure.. sure..
I will always be loyal to The Sims. It was a great start on my journey with the franchise. I can't believe it's been 20 years!
At the time, I was hugely addicted to TS2. Played far too many hours on it. Less so with TS3, but i still loved it.
I hated TS4 at the beginning but love it now that it has improved a lot. I can only play this version now, as i find the others too outdated for me these days.
I really miss the cut scenes, they really highlighted certain events. The alien births had a separate cut scene from the normal ones.
Sims 3 never appealed to me. The sims in that game look awful. The open world was very laggy with sims on different ends of the map. you also were stuck in one world, if you want to use the new world from a pack, your sim had to move worlds and leave everyone behind. I like to attach world/neighbourhoods to each other in one save game.
I currently play sims 4 the most. There are a lot of things I miss from sims 2 but I don't think I could return to the CAS and build mode of the sims 2 or the completely closed off lots. You couldn't set a foot on the square next to your lot.
Sims Medieval is also still one of my favourites. I liked the RPG-sandbox combination of that game and would like have more spin offs like that.
GAAAMEPLAAAYY wise, probably TS3. There is so much content for it, and while it isn't as detailed as TS2, the sheer amount of possibilities keeps me interested. Also, I really love the way the scenery looks. The only issue I have with TS3's graphics are the sims. Some animations don't look natural at all. Their bodies look like stuffed toys.
In my opinion, their faces are fine... if you picture them nose-up. [Has anyone else found their mouths to be scary? I can't stand the teethy smile.. ]
TS2 IS the best game in the series, if we're looking at it from a gameplay/creative standpoint. There were limitations in 2004, and The Sims Team still managed to make something emotional, engaging and hilarious -- something that still holds play value today. Compare it to TS4, which is seriously lacking in the detail department.
TS3 had cool packs and open world but I hated the aesthetics and lag and etc.
TS4 beats TS3 for me. Especially due to the customization and gallery.
