Which Sims version do you recommend? - kristinski - 22-07-2011 10:31 PM
Hi. I've never played Sims before, but I want to. Some of the things I've read about Sims 3, made me think maybe I should go with Sims 2. I'm wondering what are the big differences between them? I think I would really enjoy the house building part which it sounds to me like Sims 2 lets you build houses and neighborhoods. At the same time, I don't see myself be a hardcore gamer, so the auto play thing seems like it might be good. Is that just in Sims 3? I'm so confused! I'd welcome any thoughts or advice. P.S. I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

don't give a crap about nice graphics
want a custom neighborhood fast and easy
are a fan of cutesy, comical, quirky humor
like aspiration/career rewards
dislike goals
