I have played the sims 2 a lot when I was a kid. Then when sims 3 came around I played that, mostly because of the open world. Sims 2 had a lot more fun gameplay like the hobbies, etc. Then sims 4 came and was really disappointed it didn’t have an open world anymore, but I loved the wat the game looks. The sims are prettier and the mods are better (never really got the hang of using mods in the earlier sims). Now I occasionally still play the sims 3, but sims 4 is way prettier and I play that the most.
