The Sims 2: 20 Must-Have Mods to Enhance Your Gameplay
Old games possess a unique charm, sparking nostalgia and running smoothly on less powerful hardware. They also often reflect the passion and dedication of early developers. The Sims 2, in my opinion, stands as the best installment in the life simulation series, brimming with realistic details absent in later versions. However, its age means it lacks modern mechanics and items, and some aspects can hinder enjoyment. Fortunately, modifications can address these issues. This article presents 20 top-tier mods for The Sims 2.
