Hey don't insult dress up games like that, there better than that

it even fails at that, Sims 3 was AEONS better with texture pickers and palette dials

The Sims 3 also has the couple animations! They kept a lot of other cute details too. Miss this kind of stuff in TS4.

you should've seen my face when i was playing ts2 today and saw there were mini interactions for slow dancing (holding each other close, putting the head on the shoulder, etc.) it made me so unreasonably happy 🥹

The couple in Sims 2 are newly married while the ones in Sims 3 are awaiting divorce lolll 😅😅😅

besides the poor romantic animations and relationship system, the sims in TS4 don't even move while sleeping!! That's so lazy...

couples in sims 4 look like they don't even know each other, sims just have no personality in new sims game🥲

tbh fair, I walked passed a wedding before. didn't know them and didn't even stop in my walk. Your comment should say family doesn't care.

@@Ilivepuppys 👞

YES IT ANNOYS ME SM its like so annoying. Idk hiw it is with dead reaction but sims 4 seems even worse with reactions and sims doing their own stuff, not carinf

​@Ilivepuppys Well... there is not just the family 😐 friends and the staff (if you called them) were there too. If you were celebrating a wedding all the guests and even the staff was cheering. In TS4 literally not a single f*ck was given... I just bought the base game and was so damn disappointed that I deinstalled it after 30 minutes...

@@lauravogt1022 you saying you just bought the basegame of the sims 4? dude you were scammed its free, double checked on steam since I dont own it on there and sims 4 base game is free and has been for months

Not to mention spouses with similar interests would resolve an argument while only suffering a minor relationship penalty, compared to those who had little in common.

The puddles are so creepy, once my whole lot filled with weeds and i had to call a gardener to help! I guess that was payback from drowning her.

That relationship system is like, so obvious to me I don't get how it's not implemented

IT WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY FOR SOOOOO LONG when I first played Sims 4!!! I was like WTF is going on with my relationships and how do I fix this??! Then I found out it's a feature not a bug and there's no mods (last time I checked) to rectify it 🥲🥲🥲🥲

love and care vs wanting money

good art direction and better design for the time

They won't even make a PS5 version of TS4 unfortunately.. The Sims 4 team are too lazy to render / code anything and that's why everything is broken - every update, every pack and every patch..

It doesnt. It has better animation. Just goes to show how little graphics matter when theres no soul

i think these days people making the game are not getting their fun from the work.. i bet in the 2000s making these animations was cool to do and fun to watch. now people just wanna get done with their shift and watch tiktok

sims 3 had it too, sims 3 (maybe it was sims 2? well one of them) the child could even tell their other parent about the parent cheating

To add to that, I love how kids who have good relationships with their parents run over to hug them when they get home from work, or get excited to show them when they’re grades are up. It’s so cute.

They can even catch their parents’ or siblings’ significant other cheating and be upset

​@@florriebellerose In sims 3, my heart melted a little when a young adult child greeted their parent if they see them after waking up😭

youd be surprised how long the kid remember the cheating too, it can properly upset them psychologically through the game

Pretty sure you can inherit from grandparents in sims 3 and 4, but I do agree the real genetics should come back

@@Ilivepuppys In The Sims 3, there's a small chance that traits such as hair color will be pulled from a grandparent, but it's random rather than via alleles and thus can result in situations you wouldn't get in real life (e.g. two natural blondes having a child with black hair). There's also a chance of "mutation," where a trait will be selected at random without regard for what traits are in the family. The Sims 3 also operates on Lamarck Was Right logic when it comes to dyed hair: if a redhead dyes their hair black, a child who inherits their hair color will have black hair, not red. This used to go for "unnatural" colors as well, but apparently there was a patch at some point that fixed that, so a Sim who dyes their hair blue won't pass on blue hair to their kids. The Sims 4, as far as I can find, has no system for inheriting traits from generations before the parents.

The Sims 2 genetics are crazy complex (there’s a video on UKposts covering it in detail). I get a little excited when that recessive hair or eye colour finally pops up after a generation or two. The recessive/dominant genes is one of the most detailed features of TS2 that doesn’t get mentioned enough.

@@florriebellerose I know, right? I love seeing if recessive traits will pop up again. I actually made my own little genetics mod to sort the hair and eye colors into their own unique genetic levels so that I could more efficiently Punnett-square my Sims' offspring. (It also makes green eyes dominant over dark blue because green eyes are generally dominant over blue in real life and the fact that they weren't in the game was bothering me.)

Yes! I had two black haired sims have a blond child. I was confused, but looked in the family tree to see that both black haired parents had one blond parent each, meaning they both gave their recessive trait. I love the genetics details and accuracy,

TS2 looks really good for a game that came out 20 years ago, especially the textures

@@JovensAleatorios Like that pizza? Amazing how bad that makes Sims 4 look

I think everyone is so used to seeing Sims 4 with mods, cc, textures and shaders. Without that TS4 is pretty bland.

Not to mention that you can default replace just about everything in the Sims 2, so it can look however you want it! You want realistic? You can do that. You want ts4-esque? You can do that. Alien planet? There's defaults for that. Medieval? You can do that too. You just have to do a bit of internet sleuthing to track some stuff down. >.

no literally I was so shocked cuz I thought the same thing but the sims 4 looks so plastic next to the sims 2

Wow I didn't know that one! 😮 I'll have to try it in my game

@@Sitycims I will fall out of my chair laughing if that is true that they autonomously block the seat on the couch if it's someone they don't like. 🤣 This is why ts2 feels more alive. These kinds of details that can be seen not texted to the player but SEEN.

​@@SitycimsSims do slide the other side of the sofa in the Sims 4 too. Not sure why you added an imagine of the sim standing up.

​​@@AudreyLudlow They only slide to the next slot. If the couch has 3 slots, they'll stand up, which is exactly what I showcased.

And no personality, and their cartoony expressions

@@ravenID429that’s what instantly put me off sims 4. Like why do they walk and move so cartoony? I hate so much

It is definitely soulless. Game feels empty and like the sims have no personality

The Sims 4 respresents the decline of Western society. People have been freeloading for far too long.

@@AlisonMendez-bx8tp I've played so many sims in sims 4 yet it all felt like i was playing the same person over and over

It’s really funny too cuz for a lot of fans of ts2, we never really stopped playing so there is no nostalgia. It’s just a better game.

@@KaleighSofkaI didn’t play sims 2 when I was younger (wasn’t even born when it came out) so I have no nostalgia and I think it’s a great game

ts2 came out 6 days before i was born, and i just started playing it in 2021 so there’s no nostalgia and i still think it’s better. i have a lot of nostalgia for ts3 (which i’ve been playing since i was little) but i still think ts2 is the best

Sims 4 defenders are delulu

I guess TS2 is better bacause the sims sit in a more realistic way 🙄 the game is empty as hell, there's barely anything to do. Barely no objects, barely any activities, the fears are wacky (like why are they all still freaking out over bugs), there's barely anything to do in the public lots but I guess the Pizza slice slops, oh wow.

EA is so much garbage. I really think 2024 is gonna be the year for indie devs. ❤

​​@@adorkible91 their rules, their cut out budget😂, only focus on mostly sports games 🙄🏀⚽🚘 and money 💰 it makes sense now

​@@MollyHJohns is inzoi really that similar to a sim simulator? I barely know about that game, the few stuff i watched makes it look like an open world game with social interactions.

@@Gonzas97It's basically The Sims but you actually get to move your character around instead of clicking. The premise of the game is still the same as The Sims

You can download it for free on the sims 2 subreddit :)

On point!

Also they should’ve never switched to a cartoony style!

I was watching a doc on it and it may have to do with the fact it was originally an online multiplayer game. Doesn’t excuse the fact but bet it was cutting corners cause it wasn’t originally meant to be a game the way it is today

Hence the amount of "interactive" caves now where all you do is read text lol

But if the game had a special unique animation for each aspect, the loading screen would be longer than sims 3 !!!!

Tbh I'm torn between 2 and 3. 3, after heavy modding and some effort is really catchy and complex of a game. However it lacks the mood and vibe of 1 and 2, and complexity of animations is also sub par to 2. All in all I enjoy playing both 3 and 2.

@@drumbeard yeah Sims 3 is definitely great and feels like a proper sequel, but the Sims 2 just has that mood that makes it my favorite

@@YellowBriefs agreed. I wish they kept that mood. I miss 1 and 2 vibes in later games. That irony, parody of reality. It seems to me it was much more serious and mature than latter installments.

Climbing Magical bean stalk miss me lol.@@drumbeard

if it was named Sims ONE instead of sims 4, i would even consider it a "good game"... Sims 2 had AI at their best (still dumb but way better than 4 and 3) Sims 3 sacrificed storytelling and vehicle animations to deliver an open world experience with no loading screens. Sims 4 couldn't even get a fucking pool on release, and the "age states" were back to sims 1: children and adult only... and guess what? not even children were coded right! I just had a flirty little girl that started a relationship. I don't know if it has been fixed but i had the same fun as Chiches had with Saints Row: NONE. Played once and never touch it again

Sims 2 giving life lessons right there...

Yes!!! And like sims who are sloppy don’t make their bed unless you tell them to. and when they do that spin when undressing they do it super lazily. They will let the bathroom & counters get dirty if you don’t make them clean it they don’t even really care about getting bugs from leaving things out besides maybe being a lil annoyed. They might not even know if someone else takes care of it. Whereas neat sims will roll fear of getting bugs even if their lot is clean. if bugs ever show up on their lot they are like first to run to stomp them & that memory would stay with them for a few days. after extermination they will think about it & cry!!! but what I think really shows how much care went into this is sims who fall in the middle of “sloppy” and “neat” really are somewhere in the middle and it’s completely unpredictable! It’s not 50/50 it’s like for example I’ve noticed in my game those sims could typically make their bed most days/put away their dishes, but if they are in a bad mood they are not as likely to do these tasks. Like it’s so realistic!!! And sometimes neat sims get irritated at sloppy sims for being sloppy but sometimes they seem totally fine to clean after their roommate. lol a family I am currently playing when the two roommates eat together, one is stuffing their face so fast that food is flying everywhrre everywhere n the other is so polite and composed. but they are literally besties!. I just love that you really never know! Idk why I went on a rant lol but I have actually never seen the gameplay side to side like this before that really shocked me how different sims 4 is! I’ve never actually played it.

Whenever I see the Sims 2 Pizza, I really want to eat Pizza cause it looks do good xD

it made me hungry

Kindergarten Play-Doh pizza.

Also the deliveryman for Pizza actually gets out of the car, goes to the trunk opens it, gets the Pizza out closes it and then walks to the front door

​@@keit99 compared to in the sims 4, the pizza just materializes out of thin air 🤣

Eternal wisdom!

Yes, personally I don't even need an open world as I like to micromanage my hoods, but in Sims 2 I miss interactivity and fullness of the outdoors and some types of community lots from Sims 3, I must say Sims 2 has better restaurants though

I was just thinking that recently!

That's my dream game too. I love Sims 2 probably the most, but I'm spoiled on the open world of Sims 3.

Like 90 % TS2, but with the open world of TS3 would be my dream.

​@@flaekonAgreed. I wouldn't mind if it also change color and textures like the Sims 3.

They kind of did have to. Like you may not notice it at all but altogether those details are why we still all loved the Sims 2 despite not having the open world of Sims 3 or the graphics of Sims 4. The immersion kind of happens without realizing it. Sims 4 I find myself so bored and these videos are helping me realize why. Sims is primarily an animation focused game. Cutting corners on that just makes it clicking and fulfilling stats.

@@slpm3253and also the ridiculous cartoon style that the sims 4 has. I hope they use unreal engine for the sims 5!

This is because the company that actually developed The Sims 2 was the now defunct Maxis, not a bunch of EA's faceless studios that have nothing to do with Will Wright and his OG team. The Sims 3 (the base game) was the last time they ever developed anything for EA before disappearing for good.

​​@@MeadowStargazer You're deluding yourself. They're the same people. Here's a name for you, Lindsay Pearson. She was the person who developed both the Sims 2 and the Sims 4... The only person in the Sims 2 team that left was Will Wright, and he left after TS2BG came out, maybe stayed to develop a single EP and that's it...

Details like roof under the rain are actually very important, they don't need to be noticed, but they're needed. Like bass in music, you really need it, but it doesn't need to be an accent, it can be subtle but it should be present. It seems like optional but as soon as you remove that stuff, everything will be flat and lacking ambience. Pretty much every working piece of art or content works because of details

I see a lot of people claim we only prefer sims2 because of nostalgia and they refuse to look any further. yeah I'm plenty nostalgic but I also have legit reasons..

I haven't played TS2 that much (just a couple of minutes way back when basically), and I will say any day that it's better than TS4.

If Their lazy To program why would they not Reused Sims 3 body and change the shape more realistic just saying

“when you do something right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all”. a little creative rule the sims 4 totally forgot

Even better -- in The Sims 1, the moves were strictly mapped to real movies. Will Wright was a stickler for it.

The Sims 4 is really good for building houses and dressing people up. Other than that, though? It has the absolute bare minimum to qualify as a game.

My Sims wedding had 12...you all don't know what you're doing.

​@@SimlikeitHotHow do you get them all to sit down during the ceremony 😭 most of mine never do

@@xtonibx5770 it's been a minute since I married a Sim...but I believe when I'm ready to start the ceremony, I clicked on the chairs or the wedding carpet the bride and groom will walk down on and it said 'please be seated' or 'please take your seats'. Then all the invited Sims started sitting down. They'll even sit according to who they came with or related to, and they'll stay seated until the ceremony is over. Some even cry and wipe their noses..it's hilarious. You have to wait until all the invited guests are there though, for you can only do this action once correctly. If you do it more than once, then they will not cooperate. So wait until ALL guests arrive then click.

@@SimlikeitHot I tried this and my guests were busy doing pushups and molding clay. its extremely bugged for me.

@@cuppycakesrawrable I'm sorry to hear that. Wedding Stories has a pretty bad rep around here. Fortunately my game pack hasn't had many issues..runs pretty good.

look up Ts2 starter pack ;)

not really? Have you played sims 2 because raising a baby to adult is way more realistic in that game than sims 4. even sims 3 is better with gameplay.

Ya for sure, I love building in 4. I spend most of my time building... the only thing that sucks is furniture customization.

@@saltandsriracha tbh I have been playing sims 3 so much more (more because my new pc runs it super well, its just so fun to play now) and I really enjoy building in sims 3 compared to sims 4 like yeah some steps you need to put a cheatcode in make happen while in sims 4 its right there but I also see it as sims 4 is kind of for new builders and its very easy to build a nice house since its super easy but in sims 3 and worse sims 2 bulld modes its much harder but you can pretty much do the same things and make the same kind of houses its just harder and takes more patients

The woman in Sims 4 legit looks like she straight up shoplifted.

Yeah the knobs situation in TS4 simply drives me crazy 😂

The sims 2 pizza actually looks delicious.

Especially the cooking animation! So much more realistic to grab a utensil out of a drawer while prepping rather than a knife just appearing and the sim slap-chopping it all over the place

They wanted one game for phone, console and pc and multi-player

if simmers buy a less well made game and they still make bank why would they even care? Blame the sims 4 only simmers who buy every pack even if its crap

True hahahaha

Oh I totally see what you mean by that "swipe" animation! 🙄💀💀 Yeah I keep that in the back of my head!

u mean the swipe they use for everything like picking up plates? 😭

can you explain what this animation is? the one where they turn on themselves? I don't understand ;(

@@bullianas it's the one where they do a "swipe" animation with their hands when they're like removing items, picking up a plate, anything magically disappears when they do that and it's used over and over

They got lazy and more expansive...

They definitely took A LOT of shortcuts 💀

Haha fair enough! 😂

Modern Don is like ‘fair, you got me’ 😂😂

There are chance cards in The Sims4 as well, though... But the lack of vehicles in TS4 breaks it hard...

@@adrianblake8876 The chance cards for careers suck, they are more like “option” cards. In the Sims 2, the prompt didn’t include a warning as to the consequences, and the outcome for each was random. It was like the chance prompts that show up in the Sims 4 during holidays such as Love Day; you can choose the same option but you’ll get either a positive or a negative outcome each time.

@@tianam.964 Idk what you mean, the chance cards in TS4 have random outcomes too... I've only dabbled in BG only in TS4, since I'm not paying for that POS...

@@adrianblake8876 I’m referring specifically to the chance cards that pop up for careers. When it gives you the options, it tells you in parentheses below each what the outcome will be. “If you choose to X, this will happen” and “If you choose to Y, their life will continue unchanged.” In Sims 2, the career chance cards only gave you the two options to choose from, and each option had a chance for failure or success.

@@tianam.964 I've never seen that on career chance cards in TS4, they work the same way as the Sims2 chance cards (except the result is sometimes just a moodlet and nothing else)...

Pretty sure I've literally tried to find rain mods for TS4 before because it's so unimmersive... Lol

The textures in TS2 aged like fine wine

I'd say that it's somewhere in between... But they did use TS2 asthetics (models and anims), so it has more of a TS2 feel... Cooking, for example, in TS3 is a bit more detailed, because it uses the ingredients from recipes. I do wish they had open shops, like in TS2 instead of the grocery, bookstore and spa rabbitholes, and that they'd've opened the restaurant rabbitholes for ambitions instead of (or in addition to, but if we had to choose one...) the enhanced medical career...

I'm a huge Sims 3 player, I played a lot of Sims 2 as well but on PS2, not PC, so I don't really know the differences. And I play Sims 4 a little bit, and as the previous answer said : The Sims 3 is in between, it's still have some TS2 great animations, but also some dull ones (like playing chess it just moves randomly). I think that's why I love TS3 this much, it wasn't like TS2, but was still way better than TS4. I miss the open world, cars, and most importantly : the customisation in TS3 is the best we ever had. I was disappointed A LOT the first time I played TS4 on that point. If we ever have a TS5 one day, I hope they'll take in consideration what peoples miss the most, and bring it back in their game. (I can still hope I guess ?)

TS3 skimped a little on animations, yeah, but it does still have a lot of the important stuff. Plus, each expansion pack gives you TONS of stuff to do. That, combined with the open world, elevates it in my eyes. Granted, I've barely played TS2 and refuse to touch TS4, so I can't properly compare LOL

Honestly sims 3 was less detailed but I'm not sure it wouldn't have ended up as a slideshow with more.

The attention to detail in 2 actually surprised me when I played it recently. Sims actually using an animation to get in cars? Them driving the car out of the parking spot? So good. And the I thought would this be possible in 3 and I'd argue no, not without looking like your car crashes every second. And probably leggy af.

Patterns and a color wheel...

It's kinda funny. TS1 had no object customization, TS2 had good customization, TS3's customization blows every other game's out of the water... and TS4 is barely a step up from TS1. Lol. Lmao.

@@gyppygirl2021Exactly! TS3 was barely equal to TS2 in many areas, but the object customization was an objective, unambiguous improvement. Like sure it led to absurd shit like clothes made out of bricks, but the RANGE

Well, if you have a computer at all and the issue is not knowing where to find it, there are plenty of resources to find abandonware (games that aren't sold anymore,) including Sims 2. I'm pretty sure some Sims UKpostsrs have tutorials and stuff to help you find it.

It would be great if they did that, I really want to try TS2 (I'm a TS3 fan). But EA is lazy so I doubt they would do anything like that :(

@@passionable90 Maybe it'll work in my 2012 laptop? I'll try it out someday.

Sadly in TS4 NOTHING holds significance or bears consequences. Regardless of our efforts to alter, enhance or deteriorate our sims' lives, it all seems pointless in the end. This sense of constant unsignificance makes playing the game underwhelming, as it goes beyond mere animations as the entire game feels shallow and lacks consistency, it has no soul. It's more like a set-dressing pretending to be a game; the sims lack unique personalities as they're basically all made to navigate any life situations in the exact same manner, exhibiting identical reactions to everything all the time which is truly a shame.

Exactly 😢 That's why i don't really put effort into it anymore like i used to, it's pointless, it's way easier to just use cheat codes like to get money and make them fell better because there's no difference. The only thing i actually like about The Sims 4 is the build mode, but it's also not as good as it was in the older games like The Sims 3@@mooshinu

No 3 pelo eles mantiveram alguns porque usaram as animações do 2 e também tinham a desculpa de ser mundo aberto e terem que focar nisso, que é justo parando pra pensar que programar não é fácil, mas o 4 só é tristeza e decepção. Até hoje prefiro jogar o 3 e o 2

​@@patrickbernardidefreitas402 o 3 mesmo reutilizando mta coisa do 2 removeu mta coisa tb a diferença é que adicionou coisas novas tb

Sei que o Ts3 tem muitas coisas novas, mas o fato de eles reutilizarem algumas animações do Ts2 me incomodava um pouco. Assim como que no Ts2 seria legal a gente poder ver o pôr do Sol, igual nas franquias seguintes, poder mudar a voz e o corpo dos Sims... Mas é aquelas coisas né, nem tudo está equilibrado.
