🚨For clarity purpose🚨 : TS4 overall graphics obviously look better than TS2 simply because it is the most recent game. However TS2 uses really detailed & complex technology for its time. They did the best with what they had & it paid off considering how it beats TS4 in many graphic details, as shown in this video. On the contrary it is blatant that TS4 doesn't take full advantages of the technologies availabe for todays games, especially considering it came out in 2014! • Hit the Like & Subscribe buttons for more videos!🔥🙏

I actually think the CAS and Sims body shapes are best in Sims 4, but I miss how exaggerated you could make their features in Sims 2. Texture-wise, Sims 4 is seriously lacking, though at least some of that is intentional since it released almost ten years ago and was meant to run on low-end computers even then. I'm not a fan of the anime style hair, but I don't hate it as much as some others do. I still play and enjoy Sims 4, but I also sometimes go back to both Sims 2 and 3 because they have other things to offer that they did better than the Sims 4. Sims 2 had the most attention to detail in its objects and animations. I remember being disappointed with Sims 3 compared to the Sims 2 when it first came out, but by the time several expansions had released, it had come into its own. Despite its flaws, I feel like Sims 4 is finally kind of getting to a point where it has some worthwhile gameplay. It's not as deep as Sims 2 or 3, but it can be enjoyed.

I think they'd have been better off with 5 starting traits, more variety in trait personalities, less focus on emotions, and Sims 2 style memories in Sims 4. By which I mean to say, memories would get recorded but not in a way that devours the game's memory (which is why those of us who played Sims 3 usually turned off memories entirely, only taking specific ones if we used the feature at all). Memories still exist in Sims 4, but it's basically a forgotten feature that hardly anyone seems to use. Anyway my point is, with more focus on who a character is and the life they've lived, a character seems more alive. Emotions are part of people, but people are not just walking emotions. People are made of their traits and experiences, and emotions follow those.

Also, in The Sims 2 there are hair physics, couch cushion physics and pool physics. Mind blowing!

Also, even the textures on child and up Sims look better than the food textures, the baby textures, the trash textures... So the lack in those areas is really egregious.

I'm sure there are people who do want an online multiplayer Sims, but personally I don't want someone else in my neighborhood potentially doing things like breaking up my families or sabotaging my Sims' friendships--or worse.

They made sims 4 cartoonish so it can run on any bad computer and also they keep releasing useless stuff to earn them more money That game is just a money machine and i don't even like it.

You arent wrong.

I remember back in the day you had 4 different CDs just to download the base game of Sims 2. I'm starting to realize why, the game has a lot of details I took for granted as a kid 😔

You should have shown the texture of the rose bushes in sims 2. They are legit so pretty

I remember when I first played ts4 I was surpised how bland the light was! Adding more windows did not helped, lights were dull, I had a feeling that my house is so dark. Also when you chage the time of the day in building mode it does absolutely...nothing. I was so disappointed :(

Honestly, idc what anyone says, sims 2 sims define what sims should look like, idc if its an old game, that is what sims should look like,i love sims 3 tho a good middle ground

If a game could be released with the adjustable body and face meshes of Sims 4, plus the ability to make features extreme like in Sims 2, and with a more detailed/cleaner/updated version of the Sims 2 style textures, that'd be ideal. Or, you know, Baldur's Gate 3 style textures would suit me too.

TS2 also had much larger object texture sizes. TS4 often maxes objects out at 512x512, TS2's average is double that

Its because its engine was never designed to be able to run a proper version of the game. The Sims 4 was planned to be an online game, with MMO features like The Sims 1 with Sims FreePlay concepts. The limited textures may have been put there to allow the game to load easily.

the sims2 it had will wright he left 2008 if he worked on the sims 4 it would have so much love like the sims 2 did the sims was his baby like SimCity

Will Wright Vs. EA Games.

watching this video in the middle of that dumpster fire that the sims 4 team has lit under their butts after the latest update. 10/10 experience, would do it again 💅🏻✨

Y'all I was really convinced you just recorded your backyard for that grass.

I hate everything about the S4, the lazy animations, boring gameplay - no wonder the S4 simers, usually doing challange and youtuble shorts - and the stupid smile on the sims face, it's kill me... The only thing i could dissagree the hair one. The sims3 doesn't have hair physic too, but the other hand, the hair isn"t look like made of clay that one.

bought sims 4 base game when it came out. played a couple hours, saw how bad it was and immediately went back to Sims 2. Haven't played Sims 4 since.

I lost it at the food lmaaaaooooo

Without going into stylistic choices - Sims 2 has a lot of love for details, did run great and provided a solid game play experience. Sims 4 provides a great tool for building. I personally am not the biggest fan of the textures painted on in Sims 2 but I holds itself still while this technic is used in some packs in Sims 4 as well while they are able to do more and show more in other instances.

To be fair the sims 4 cooker is electronic. And I feel like they didnt have the hob glow because its not as if it would be too visible.

light from windows doesn't even cast on sims in ts4, it does in ts2

I always felt the sims 4 graphics is similar to what my vision looks like before an eye exam 😂.

I honestly geniunely enjoy the graphics in sims 2 than any other sims game, I don’t really understand when people say they want x sim game with sims 4 graphics, I kinda really hate how sims 4 looks, everything looks like clay and just dull, sims 2 has so much life and such a wonderful aesthetic to it! The sims 2 graphics have so much charm, while sims 4 just look soulless (like the whole game)

Sims 4 babies are cursed.

I totally agree with you. Sims 2-3 best combined, but the 4 is a fucking fool. I bought every packaging since two years ago now I’m not even playing the game anymore when I used to be so addicted when I was younger

With Sims 4, some things have a higher polygon count and a higher resolution for textures, but other things have a weirdly low resolution and/or poly count (like the food and trash) and the overall style is intentionally minimalist. Sims 2 was exaggerated/cartoony, but generally more detailed. One thing that struck me was that although some of the images you showed have a better poly count/seem smoother in Sims 4, the textures were often far worse, especially on smaller objects. Babies, for instance, seemed to have more polygons/smoother edges in Sims 4 than in Sims 2, but the textures used are terribly low-res. By contrast, the ceiling lights you showed seemed to have smoother edges in Sims 2, which is odd. And despite the Sims 2 plates having less jagged edges, they didn't have any further details. I did think the texture for water in Sims 4 looked better, even if the shaders and reflections weren't as detailed and well-done as in Sims 2. Sims 2 was superior in terms of sheer level of detail. The animations were great, too. Sims had more detailed animations when performing actions such as cooking. Would love to see how some of its items, animations, and lighting effects compare to Sims 3 in a side-by-side, also. I'd guess that part of the low detail on items and lighting in Sims 4 is because the team was for some reason not granted the manpower or budget to put that kind of detail in. That may be partly because the Sims 4 was originally conceived of as a fully online and possibly mobile or mobile hybrid game (which also explains a bit about the UI), and part of it was likely because the team didn't think details on smaller items would matter since they assumed players wouldn't be zooming in on them much. You can really tell that the Sims 2 team deeply cared about the details and how the game would be received. The Sims 1 had been a massive success, but there was no guarantee at that time that the Sims 2 would share that success. Then by the time the Sims 4 was worked on, it was created by a much smaller team mostly because all previous mainline Sims games had been successful. Sims 4 had no competition other than previous entries in the franchise, so it was more or less a guaranteed success no matter what the team did. I actually play and enjoy the Sims 4, and I think now that it has some more content both in base game and expansions than it had on release, there are some things it does better than previous games. But I still find myself going back to Sims 2 and Sims 3 and my reasons tend to involve gameplay and detail more than nostalgia. It concerns me that the developers have made it clear they intend to make the next Sims a mobile crossover. Even with a separate graphical environment on PC, it's still meant to be multiplayer and microtransactional, and will likely have toned-down graphics even on the PC version. Hopefully Paralives and Life By You will be competitive enough to force EA to do more than the bare minimum for their next Sims game and I'll be proven wrong. But as far as loyalty to the Sims? I don't really have any if someone else releases a superior product that does all or most of the same things.

Sims 2 had will wright and rod humble - my sims daddies😂 I still play sims 2 and will be following rod humbles new project like a hawk

True, although I don't really do it that often with clothes... I find some clothes in the Sims 4... a bit too much

you have an incredible eye for detail, been playing sims 2 for like 20 years now and i never noticed half of these details!

I will say I do like the instant light effect in Sims 4's build/buy mode, because it instantly shows you what the room lighting looks like depending where you place it. Everything else in Sims 2 is top tier though

Water in TS2 has an actual PHYSICS... 2004 game has better PHYSICS ENGINE! 2004 GAME VS 2014 GAME WITH SUPPORT TO THIS DAY, COME ON

I pointed this out elsewhere, but if you really look at it, it's even weirder how low res the texture is, because the mesh looks smoother (higher polygon count) than the Sims 2 one, while at the same time the texture looks so much lower-quality and blurrier. It makes no sense. Why even bother with a better mesh if you're not going to have a better texture?

I swear Sims 2 is just leagues better than Sims 4

Sims 2 is the greatest sims to DATE. Much more fun than sims 4 even with base game only compared to Sims 4’ spam of EPs

Paralives, Life By You and inZOI are finally giving this niche genre some much needed competition.

Another fabulous video! I love that you do these. All the details the original Maxis team put in are freakin fabulous! Sims 2 definitely best game! :D I hope this new Maxis team watches and studies your videos!!

Well I think TS2 and TS4 use different game styles hence the lack of texture or depth... The lack of casting or light from objects that naturally emit radiation is just unforgivable.

i effing luv ur videos u deserve way more subscribers omg

Don’t forget the hair in sims 2 moves at bit too.

i might be living in the sims4 :D the ingredients also disappear when i cancel my cooking and my fridge doesn't produce light hshaha

I can't believe TS2 is 20 years old. I mean.. I'm not even 30 and I was playing it obsessively when it came out. It feels so ahead of its time, even to this day. Sims 4 on the other hand... Great gowns, beautiful gowns.

Sims 2 was superior in almost every way. It had heart and every expansion was worth every penny. It was amazing! Sims 4 doesn't have heart or soul, just packs of the same objects over and over that costs tons of money and they aren't even functional.

Random thing I learned about the Sims 2 a few nights ago. My sim was out late on the town and needed a ride home. They called for a taxi around 2am. Nothing. They called again around 3:30. Nothing. They called 1 more time closer to 4:20 and finally got a ride home. Something like that would have been a problem 2 decades ago! 😂

I'm going to play the sims 2 again.

I have been saying this since TS4 came out

TS3 had the best graphics overall. Most details trees, shadows, reflections, etc. If only they stopped being so lazy

The sims 2 was really a game they were looking forward to, trying to show the public how far the life sim games could go and how much potential they could have in the future. When they reached sims 3, they even went higher with open worlds, but the sims 4, it is clear that it was a failure from the start, they published an unfinished game thats been 10 years in the making and it still is trash. I have been playing sims 2 exclusivelly lately and havent touched sims 4 in many months, last time i played was with the infant update. The sims 2 and 3 will always be better, and its great that there are still communities that make mods for these trully good games. I enjoy building in the sims 4 but thats not what you play the sims for. In the sims 2 or 3 i can be hours playing without noticing, playing the sims 4 i start a family, create the sims, build a house and then do gameplay for 10mins. So boring.

I guess TS4 was going for a more cartoony art style? But who the heck would want that in a game ment to be like real life? Not me!

At first I was like OMG how dare you but then I watched ur vid and I was like OMG you are so right , loving those details and attention sprinkled here & there

@Queen2023X Yes we might hate on Sims 4 but most of us literally state our reasons, unlike most of the Sims 2 simmers out there who assume that Sims 3 players only like Sims 3 because of Open World and Color Wheel. How about you actually research about what we actually like about the game instead of assuming? The reason why we defend Sims 3 is because you guys just assume things and you only give like 2 reasons, plus it's very harsh and it feels like you guys are trying to force others to like Sims 2 more. Also do you even see me hating on Sims 2? I love that game but Sims 3 will always be my favorite.

One of the biggest things I miss from sims 2 is house phones and getting those long paragraph scam messages. Those were amazing, sometimes they were really funny and obscure and other times they actually managed to creep little me out and I miss it so much. I wish we could have house phones in newer sims games even though they've fallen into obscurity I still think it would be neat since a lot of homes do still have them. And I wish they would have actually put effort into the scam calls in sims 4 because they're all so obvious and lame compared to the sims 2 ones. I'd love to see a video on all the funny prank/scam calls from sims 2 compared to the sims 4 ones lol.

Thank you for this video!!

Sims 2 didn't have better graphics, it had better ATTENTION TO DETAIL. Two very different things.

Omg the grass I’m crying 😭

If one covered everything, this video would be over an hour… I’m glad & lucky to have all 4 games.

wooden floor in sims 4 is my pain ☹

I just got back into sims 2 after almost 5 years of not playing it. It made me kind of emotional because you can really see the charm and effort they put into this game. Yea, you can mod it to make it even better but Sims 4, it's like.. you have to in order to make the game fun. Sims 2 was my introduction into the Sims franchise and it'll always be better than any sims game, without a doubt in my mind.

TS2 is the better Sims game in ALL aspects, if it was open world it was going to be the perfect sims.

At least you could place lots and build neighborhoods... TS4 is so pathetic with it's neighborhoods and paper art sprite, they're not even 3D.

And thats why I prefer a realistic look over a cartoony look in the sims. The realistic look of sims 2 and 3 might have not aged well and cartoony is kind of timeless, but putting effort in a game just creates the better feeling, even when technologie moves on.

i’d love to see a ts3 vs ts4 version!! ❤
