I like TS2 because:
1. You can customize your neighborhood more easily.
2. What you see is what you get in Create-a-Sim. You don't end up making a sculpted beauty in CAS that looks like a freak in game like in the Sims 3.
3. Because TS2 is a retired game, more of the good content out there is free than it would be in TS3.
4. Genetics! You should not be able to inherit your mother's pink highlights!
5. Babies with feet. Also, the babies don't have a social need so I can have my sims do other things and not have to cuddle the baby every hour or so.
6. Aspirations/Wants/Fears. This makes it more of a challenge to keep your sims happy, and gives them more character.
7. More detailed graphics; less pudding.
The list goes on but I have to get off the computer now. I could write a book about TS2>>>>TS3.
