What is Sims 2 like to play?

[Caspin]

I loved Sims 2 but now I've experienced Sims 3 I don't think I could go back. I'd say neither are confusing and both are highly addictive, but then I would say that because I'm already addicted and happy to admit it. I would give Medieval another go, as well, if you can - it is different from the other Sims games it's true, so you need to learn new controls and play towards goals instead of being totally sandbox, but I really liked it for a change and it runs really smoothly, which can't always be said of Sims 3.
