The Sims 2 Vs. The Sims 3
J. M. Pescado:
The key difference between the fambly-counts in TS2 vs. TS3 is that in TS2, every fambly you add, you MUST play, or they will lose sync...even if they become really boring. This has resulted in the creation of a clocky-thingy just to rush them through the process of being uninteresting.
In TS3, the number of maximum famblies you can expect to manage is lower, but you are always free to turn them loose without having to manually manage this.
Fat D:
That is of course assuming you mind the sync issues. In my opinion, TS2 and TS3 are not really replacements for each other with their vastly different gameplay (TS3 feeling more like an adventure than a toy box), but I have pretty much given up on TS3 due to the chore to keep up with the patches. Then again, my TS2 gameplay consists of setting up testbeds, experimenting with a few things, then abandoning them again. Have not played properly for ages.
Callista:
Tried both, still prefer TS2. It's more customizable, and it presents more of a challenge. When I first tried TS3, my initial thoughts were along the lines of, "Huh, this is like playing Sims 2 on Easy mode." I still think that. TS3 is a decent game, but TS2 has much more replay value.
ItchyNScratchy:
I like how easy TS2 was to create with. With TS3, I can't be bothered to make CC. With TS2, I hated that it took forever to load each family. With TS3, it's much faster to load, and the open neighborhood is something I wish TS2 had.
I still hate the look of TS3 sims (especially the black eyes in the mirror--*shiver*), but I hated the look of TS2 sims too, until default skins and eyes came to be.
I still play TS2 from time to time, but I'm used to the gameplay of TS3 now that my TS2 playing is only on an occasional basis now.

The Sims2 became my favorit over Sims1 by Night-Life.
I guess, Sims 3 will oust sims 2 for me after the next Add-On.
