the sims has always been an integral part of my childhood, but I never actually played 2 until early 2019. ever since doing so it's become my favorite entry in the series and in the entire game. the love and details put in this game amazes me to this day and i find small secrets whilst playing almost every session. it's silly and raunchy but not over the top, the balance i think modern sims games are missing. i see criticism that the game can be hard, which is fair, but it mostly just takes getting used to. also, the aesthetic is stuck in the early 2000s and i adore it, it's so charming. killer ost, too. i can't say enough about how much i just love this game
