[@abigailbrookes7721]

I can’t speak for the Sims 3 because I never really played it. However, I think the furniture in the first two games were very much geared towards novelty. And as the evolution of the Sims progressed, the creators realised current consumer trends dictated more realism in game play. And obviously the developments in graphic design made realism more accessible.

[@junerussell6972]

You can really see this when people start complaining about all the things that they want in the game (that it never had) that they insist is necessary because "this is supposed to be a life simulator." While I appreciate the realism sometimes, I rather like that they change clothes by spinning (rather than having an animation of actually removing clothes or shoes.)

[@scofieldvictoria]

@@junerussell6972 I always play with witches and just go with the spinning thing being “magic”. Same goes for the “Bust the Dust” floor sparkles and dust bunnies

[@cool4345]

Sims has always had a novelty side to it, i don't think they focus any more on realism now compared to then. The sims 2 had expansions like IKEA, H&M Fashion Stuff, Kitchen & Bath Stuff, Mansion & Garden Stuff - all of which were pretty much just regular objects which were in fashion at the time. The only pack theme that doesn't really fit is Bon Voyage i think. Sims 4 has packs like Journey to Batuu, My First Pet Stuff, Strangerville, Eco Lifestyle, Realm of Magic, Movie Night Stuff - which all fit a very specific style and really don't work well across most builds unless you're going for something specific. I think the main thing is that Sims 2 only had around 4 years (2004-2008) before Maxis dropped it so that they could work on Sims 3. Whereas it's been almost 10 years since Sims 4 launched so they've had way more time to make objects which seem more realistic. It still has ridiculous things like the oversized telescope, an entire rocket you can put in your garden (but no cars even though they drive around the neighbourhoods), the cupcake machine, and some useless wallpapers & floors (thinking Spa Day's glowing wallpaper and those gaudy golden wallpaper/floors in Get Famous)

[@cool4345]

​@@junerussell6972 It's true that it doesn't need to be too realistic or anything, but i think there's valid complaints about the things that break immersion or they're just really jarring. Like TS4 had half of the content that TS1 base game had at launch. TS4 base game was missing Aliens, Babysitters, Burglars, Cars, Gardeners, Ghosts, Hot tubs, illnesses, Newspapers, Pools, Repairman, Repoman and Toddlers - which were all pretty big features for gameplay. Like I think the fact that there still aren't any cars in TS4 is a bit jarring considering you can literally see them driving by in the neighbourhoods and it means that late gameplay is kind of empty because you don't have many expensive things to buy for your sims. There's certain things that should have been staples in the series when they were in every single base game before TS4. DGMW, I never play with mods such as WickedWhims in TS4 because it goes too far with the realism, but there's a lack of gameplay in TS4 compared to every other game in the series. It's also kinda odd that TS4 has vaccuuming and washing machines but you don't need to water decorative plants or have any bug infestations like in TS1 & 2.

I would love to see you try to build a sims 2 house using some of the advanced custom build tools developed by the community, like using Mootilda's grid adjuster and lot adjuster to make no-slope basements, 1- or 2-click foundations, or faux rowhouses. It's something I'm just now getting into as I try to improve my building skills, and although it's a little intimidating at first to use a custom program like these, with a tiny bit of trial and error it's not as hard as it seems and it can really open up the kinds of houses it's possible to build in TS2.
