Wow, I can't believe you didn't like Sims 2! I thought it was ****in' mega! They managed to cover so many different aspects of life, but where they fail is where the game becomes extremely cool and funny. Like the way sims react to different situations. Their reactions always seem mechanized and artificial (of course, it's a computer game...). I mean, different sims look pretty much the same when they are sad about something, or excited and everything... While this is certainly something the creators of the game would like to improve, I think it looks great and funny that the sims act like that.
