i know the graphics and speed of 3 must be much better...
but to me, it seems like 3 is purposely incomplete so they can gauge fans with all these expansion packs (which i keep reading on amazon, most people don't like) ... and not having University makes me side with 2 as the one i'm going to buy.
but what are you guys' takes?

I can only say I stopped playing Sims2 as soon as 3 came out. The major difference between the two is if you like to play a lot of different homes and switching back and forth, 2 is better. If you're content to play only one, 3 is better.

update: my friend had Sims 3 so he just sent it to me.
at first i hated the clothes and hair options, so i decided not to play it until i had downloaded lots of good stuff from other online sites
when i finally put all those downloads into the game and started to play... it was SO SLOW!!! literally i would click the icon for clothes and like a minute later it would finally pop up.
so, i think i'll probably not play this game unfortunately. seems like i'll need a whole separate computer to play it... because i didn't even get that many downloads and it made the game so slow. i can't imagine if i actually had everything i wanted.
so yeah, it sucks

The sims 2 is better than 3. I tried but I get bored with the sims 3.
shareDefine better. Waiting for screens to load was hardly better. 2 was less buggy but it was buggy. If you like to learn skills and collect stuff, 3 is way better. If you like to run multiple houses and trade off, 2 is better.

Sorry, I should have put "IMO" afterwards. I like the Sims 2 because I have more control over what I want in the game and how I play the game. I still play the Sims 2, it's just more fun to me, IMO
shareSims 3 is better. I tried playing sims 2 again a couple months ago but uninstalled it immediately because the graphics looked really crappy in comparison to sims 3. I also like that you don't have to wait for the game to load town lots when your sims go somewhere.

I much prefer The Sims 2.
The world is your lobster.
I'll have to say Sims 3.
My main beef with Sims 2 is they took forever to eat and go to the bathroom. Hours! If it wasn't for that, I would stick with Sims 2 over Sims 3. I enjoyed the ability to create brand new clothes, etc. Sims 3 was more limited. I loved the nervous breakdowns
The improvement that I liked with Sims 3 was the cemetery. I missed small things like the pointy ears but was able to find a mod that allowed this and other modifications in the game including teen pregnancies. I hated the careers in which they're inside a building, but you can't go inside.
Maxis should have the confidence to make the game as realistic as possible instead of trying to create artificial game play and goals.
