Re: SIMS 2 ULTIMATE COLLECTION IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE

[personal profile] cbrachyrhynchos 2014-07-25 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Sims 2 is, in many ways, the apex of the franchise. Sims 3 solved the dissonance of only one family moving forward in time (unless you systematically visited each household in turn). But Sims 2 came out of the box with Strangetown, which quite possibly is maximum Sim insanity packed into a single neighborhood file:

* one alien mpreg with a predetermined second if you send Vidcund Curious to the telescope the first night (the Singles gives you two adult aliens, if you want to jump-start your green-skinned legacy)
* Pollination Tech #9 Smith's warped family tree
* Nervous Subject, a challenge sim with an extreme personality
* suburban family feuds between the Smiths and the Grunts with teen angst all around
* a fully loaded haunted house with the Specters
* and the cherry on top, abducted and mind-wiped Bella Goth randomly wandering the neighborhood.

There were only 3 things that I liked that Sims 3 did and they were largely QoL changes.

1) Create-A-Style (which has now been removed form Sims 4 in favor for game optimization...)
2) No loading screens. It was annoying in Sims 2 when you had an average PC (for the times) and every time you wanted to use the Nightlife lots in the city you'd have to wait for the loading screen.
3) Like you said, the stories that happened simultaneously instead of in their own bubble.

Other than those things, I enjoyed Sims 2 content more.
