My god, you're right; it did! It definitely deserves a mention. I've never entirely warmed up to the entire Sims franchise and, really, the only I actually /enjoyed/ playing - if even for a short while - was "The Sims 3". Still, "The Sims 2" was notable because it took the concepts created in the original game, gave it a good deal of needed polish, and made it a game worth playing. It's a game I may not like, but that doesn't mean I don't recognize it as a great game. It was, probably, the best in the franchise... if only because EA hadn't gone /completely/ mad with the idea of nickle-and-diming its customers with endless expansions yet. The original "Sims 2" was a complete game unto itself; the many expansions only added to the experience. Starting with "The Sims 3", EA released base games that offered /less/ than their predecesors and demanded players buy expansions to make up the lack.
