I have many great memories of playing the original Sims but never checked out any of the sequels. Any tips or recommended actions?

I shall set down in a few lines how upright Maldoror was during his early years, when he lived happy. There: done.

ok no one answered ur thread im sorry. are u ready? im a massive sims geek

its one of my favourite franchises. im playing current gen and dont think i could do longplays with older games, but man, was sims 2 good. really good. it and the original have a lot of unique charm that sims 3 and especially 4 wished they had.
(its funny i downloaded my first mod yesterday for sims 4, it replaces most of the sims 4 ost with the sims 2 ost. so nostalgic)

the sims was the first, a true classic, but very limited.

the sims 3 was too ambitious for its time. its too much of a buggy mess

the sims 4 is a solid experience, but it took a lot of dlc and years to get half the content that earlier games got. it needed more time because it also had to take a few steps back to become this solid gameplay experience.

the sims 2 looks very dated, graphics and content wise. but gameplay wise, it holds up to this day very well. do u just have the base game or do u have the complete collection?

nice easter eggs:

real life artists recorded their songs in the sims language on some stations

when ur sims watch tv they see programmes made with the previous sims game

Complete collection. I haven't got a chance to mess around with it much yet, but it feels like it kept true to the spirit of the first game. I love being able to completely rotate the camera.

yea sims 2 is definitely a sequel to 1. pretty much everything is the same but improved upon. 3 and 4 took a few slightly different approaches

each expansion really adds a lot of value to the game too in sims 2.
