Now that The Sims 2 expansion packs have all been released, the difficulty for players new to the game is deciding on which packs are worth buying. While the stuff packs pretty much speak for themselves, the relative value of each of the expansions isn't as easy to ascertain from reading the back of the box.
It's a little overwhelming - which is why NZGamer has put together this guide to give a bit of a brief overview for each of the expansion packs. While each title is great in its own way, you should by no means feel that you must buy every single one to get the most out of the game. NZGamer have rated each game, in order of preference, with a 1 representing the 'must have' title, and 7 the other end of the scale, tactfully called 'optional'.
The Sims 2 Legacy Collection just received a patch that fixes two issues, making it a solid choice until inZOI gets a performance update.
Celebrate The Sims' 25th anniversary with legacy editions of The Sims 1 and 2, including all expansion packs and a Sims 4 themed bonus!
Yes. Been downhill since. And Sims 3 is stll better than 4 even after all these years.
These games deserve a remaster tbh, and a console release. I already had em installed on my Deck but I as I've said before, OG SIMS on the Switch would be a match made in heaven.
KeenGamer: "From IKEA homeware to fun kids' stuff, let's rank all the Stuff Packs for The Sims 2. Expansion Packs gave us lots of great new ways to play, but Stuff Packs allowed you to deck your Sims out in cool new outfits and jazz up their homes with great new objects."
