The Sims 2 franchise on the PC was the king of the Sims game series in my own opinion, I think vary highly of the Sims 2 and it's PC spinoffs and expansion packs, but I realize today after all these years how evil the vary first the sims people simulator PC game franchise was, in terms of brutality, cruelty and even child abuse also having true satanic violence.
In the sims 1 your people would live forever until you either burned them or drowsed them or starved them to death, However in the Sims 2 a lot of the screaming and violence of sim people is gone a lot since the vary first series on the PC. The Metal Jesus On YouTube once told me how he does not like the sims series at all, and I can see why. the first series had vary creepy bugs done on purpose to scare people believe it or not. one was an upside-down distorted head face I saw once during some playthroughs,
if you clicked on the distorted face the game used to crash, with no fix., in the sims 2 a lot of the violence was turned into more of a comedy and the sims 3 had some of the sims dying of a butt fire instead of a hellish inferno in the first. Now the 2nd in the series was also a ton more realistic then the first, and although some of the same from the first game went into the 2nd series
In the sims 2 the sims would still catch on fire but they would did not sound or appear to be in absolute agony unlike in the first the sims series, for example in the sims 1 you could even torture little children and even animals.
but in the Sims 2 the fire would not even phase any of the animals thank god and the children too and the adults and elders would somewhat appear not the feel pain at all thank god. In the 1st the sims game sims would have naked sex, but in the 2nd they did it in their under ware under the covers in private.
You could still kill your created people on purpose, but the 2nd series was not as bad as the 1st one and the 2nd one is just overall a way better game then the first because you can do a lot more in the 2nd even with only the base game with no expansions installed.
The Sims 1 Vacation expansion pack
even without sick people modding the game had suggestive corporal themes on the children that misbehaved on vacation although I never understood it.
I will admit the sims franchise is fun but now I HATE the first looking back on how it was created to be in terms of morality. yes the sims franchise can still be brutal but than again so is real life most of the time
The SIms 2 On the PC for the win
(edit) I don't abuse the people in any of the sims games and the first game was horrible looking back on it from today.
