Sims 1
In the Sims 1, one or two Sims can play chess. When Sims plays chess alone, as you can see, the pieces on the chess table will not move. no matter how many moves are made, the chess pieces will stay the same. But when two Sims play chess against one another, the pieces on the chess table will sometimes move, and they show different stages of a real game. they represent real moves. Playing chess increases their logic skill. The loser will always be upset after losing the game, and the winner will laugh mockingly.
Sims 2
In the Sims 2, again one or two Sims can play chess. But Sims will open the chess board and place the pieces down before playing. As you can see, in the Sims 2, The chessboards are actually fully animated. Sims will grab each individual chess piece and move it across the board accordingly. Because in the Sims 2, Sims are playing an actual chess game, and you can watch closely their every move. Sims that have less than two nice points can cheat when they're playing against another Sim. They will try to rearrange the chess pieces by distracting their opponent. But if the Sim gets caught, they will lose relationship points with the other Sim
Sims 3
Like in the previous Sims games, In the Sims 3, Sims can practice chess alone or play against another Sim. But unlike The Sims 2, In the Sims 3, Sims don't play chess dynamically. The Style is more similar with Sims 1. When they make moves, the pieces don't go where they move them. They are pre generated and show differently on the chess board. If a Sim dies, when the Grim Reaper shows, another Sim can have the option to play chess with the Grim Reaper for that Sim's life, if there is a chess table nearby. In the Sims 3, Sims can compete in chess tournaments with other Sims. The Sims 3 has an option for Sims to invite other Sims for ranked chess matches.
Sims 4
In The Sims 4, Sims can ponder moves at a chessboard to gain the focused emotion and increase their chance of winning. One or two Sims can play chess. But in the Sims 4, the moves are random. Watching them play chess doesn't make any sense. the moves don't make sense. The pieces don't go where they move them and they show differently on the chess board. Sometimes Sims make a move twice, Here again. She goes with a white peace first, then makes another move with a black peace. Sometimes the chessboard doesn't change for several moves. The loser can take the loss with a chuckle, or by angrily knocking the pieces Like in the Sims 3.
Like in the Sims 2, Sims can also cheat in the Sims 4 by distracting their opponent.

As always, the Sims 2 commitment to detail is unmatched!
-
I would absolutely adore to hear a technical explanation from people currently working at Maxis as to why a game from 2004 is more detailed than a game from 2014
-
That's interesting that the sims 2 chess games were based off a real game
-
The kids stacking books on the their chair to see the chessboard and pieces better is such a mood.
-
Sims 5 needs the dynamic effects from Sims 2, the massive interactive world of Sims 3, Sims 3's robust amount of content without the exploitative practices of the Sims' Store involving the Sims 3 official content, The gorgeously in-depth and varied CAS in Sims 3 mixed with Sims 4's, with a final touch of similiar soft beauty that was the art style of Sims 4. I think you'd have the ultimate Sims game if this was the case.
-
The Sims 2 is a work of art with the amount of attention to detail it has with its animation.
-
I do remember how oddly detailed Sims 2 was as a kid and spender a lot staring at tiny details which was very unusual for that era or any era for that matter. It really felt like they had a mind of their own! I kinda see how downgraded most of the details were in later games but I didn't like to compare between the Sims games much as I though each game had their very own unique experience as a whole equally.
-
not only are the animations better in the sims 2 the actual chess piece meshes are so much better
-
I was afraid you would say "If a character loses a game chess to the Grim Reaper, that character ALSO dies". It would be horrifying.
-
TS2 with actual chess pieces, TS3 with strange cuts of rock, TS4 with random Polygons.
-
The Sims 2, you will always be superior.
-
If I remember correctly, cheating in the Sims 2 can be an autonomous action for Sims with low Nice points.
-
I didn't know that in the Sims 2 you could cheat if you had low nice points. And here I was thinking I knew all there was to know about it.
-
We need a video about computers.
-
π I didnt know that we can cheat in The Sims 2 even I played that game during whole my childhood .. there are so many things to discover , and I would love to suggest you do a zombie comparison video next time π...
-
You forgot to mention that the chessboard with the two chairs slotted in takes up four spaces in a row in TS3, while it's three in a row for TS4.
-
The death playing chess I believe is a reference to Ingmar Bergman
-
They didn't even try in TS4, did they? The very least they could have done is have each Sim play only one color of pieces.
-
I knew the moment I was watching the Sims 2 version that it was going to be the winner π
-
The sims 2 wins. I like how it plays an actual game then pieces magically moving
