text: which is better: sims 2 or the sims(pc)?   sims 2 by far.  one of the best things is a more intelligent ai.  your sims now are more likely to take care of needs (sleep, food, bathroom) then they were in the old one, so it means less "babysitting".  and they are much more likely to go to work or school on their own.  that is just one of many things that make sims 2 a lot better then the original.  add to that things like community lots and i wonder why anybody would want to continue to play the original.
