The Sims 2 possesses what its successors lack – charm and challenge Now, I have some pretty strong opinions about The Sims. Yet 2021 made me return to the franchise that shaped my childhood and developed my love for gaming. I was about 15 when I first played The Sims 2, playing occasionally but preferring The Sims 3. And that’s where my Sims journey started. I decided to buy the newest game in the series, The Sims 3, to find out more about the franchise. After reading about the game, I discovered that it was an expansion pack, and I couldn’t play it by itself. I was about 10, and my mom bought it from a charity shop, claiming that it looked fun. The first Sims game that I owned was The Sims: Unleashed. On the 17th anniversary of The Sims 2, Daria reflects on the successes and downfalls of the series.
