Why I still play The Sims 2 (and not The Sims 4)

An entirely personal, subjective and oddly specific series of rants about why I prefer The Sims 2 over the The Sims 3 and The Sims 4. DISCLAIMER: This is not valid nor constructive criticism towards any of these games, these are purely just feelings. I thought it could be interesting to some, maybe someone out there can relate? Nobody? Okay... I'll see myself out.

I do realise there were a couple of things I find to be key features of The Sims 2 but forgot to mention or just didn't explain that well. For example, chemistry, personalities, hobbies, etc. But if I wanted to talk about every single thing I love about this game, this would be a three day long video. I wanted to keep it short and focus on the exact things that make it hard for me to really enjoy the other games. So sorry, maybe next time!

18:32 replayability?? meaningful content over random stuff
20:53 one last attempt at explaining myself and apologising
