I counted how much time it takes in Sims 2 and Sims 3 to go to a community lot. Sims 2 loaded faster when I went to a community lot than when my Sims went from their apartmant to a club in Sims 3 Late Night. From waiting that damn elevator to driving taxi to randomly stopping to go to that green thingy transportation to going to taxi again. Open World really got me fooled into thinking Sims go from house to a community lot faster (unless it's near you in a smaller world). Not to mention when your needs get low, you simply load back into home, while their needs are dropping as I am travelling back home in Sims 3. Sims 5 needs Open World but faster transportation option

 

I just teleported mine everywhere

Not it having less features than the Sims 2 Nightlife. But that's par for the course for the Sims 4.

I bet the people that donated to this feel real silly.

 

Anyway The Sims (2) will always win.

That's sad !

 

but with that being said, I personally think it looked a little bland, very Second Life esque, I just assumed it was because it was under development

[Bloodflowers.]

Is it possible to create a whole new fanmade Expansion Packs via mods for Sims 2? I see someone tried making Farm Life a thing but the problem is that chicken, horses and cows don't move. They are basically just decorations that you feed and hatch. But if they managed to make things that weren't programmed into original game be functional then you could play brand new expansions pack for free. But I guess they are much difficult to create if you're not a highly advanced programmer,  and they do exist but I doubt they are playing Sims 2 in order to cook a bunch of new stuff and functions as if it's still 2008 and Sims 2 team is still developing Sims 2 expansion packs

 

And if they can make you visit residential lots, not just community lots, oh it's gonna be cooking

I doubt it, since it would have been done by now if possible, considering TS2 got a active modding scene still

 

My guess is that mods on that scale would make the game implode, honestly

As much as I hate EA and money-milking-cow schemes since The Sims 2 Store times, I must admit, that there will be no competition ever for The Sims.

 

Life by You looked bad at arrival.

Paralives looks like a Switch game (and the only success they can have is on Switch).

InZion has FPS Problems on their own rendered trailer and feels more like GTA.

 

EA won.

Yeah, there are some old fan made expansions made by Chris Hatch (farming and nurses are some of them), I think they still rely on some leftover mechanics. I don't think the programming language they used for TS2 is available anywhere

Honestly, unless Will Wright wakes up from his slumber and joins developing TS5, I don't think there's much future for the life sim genre

None of these Sims clones are seeing the light of day I fear

It's the way with a few mods and custom content TS2 looks even better than TS4 and has enough gameplay and lore that never gets old. I just got back to playing it after like a year break and it's so timeless.

Well, how surprising lol

It looked SO ugly since Day 1.

 

Between this and the Cities Skylines 2 huge fiasco, Paradox must be shaking.

It never ceases to amuse me how you can convert all the s4 clothes and haircuts for s2 and replace the default maxis CAS stuff. Literally one of the few good things about 4 can be easily taken away and given to a superior game

People these days will never understand the impact of this trailer.

 

 

The Sims was so good when they didn't treat it like a baby's game

Well give me the link sis... was planning to go back to Sims 4 today but the fact there's NOTHING to do in that game even with expansions is so boring. I had a pretty interesting household in my last save but nothing happened apart of work and taking care of the baby. I miss Sims 2

Ok, I remember seeing this when I was 8 years old and disappointed that I couldn't whip my sims titties out like than in game
