Well, as much as i've gotten into The Sims 3 and enjoy all of the customization options and the open world and yadayadayada...

1. The Sims 2 has better gameplay.

2. Loading screens. TS3 is just not good for a quick 30 minute play since you sit at the world loading screen for 10 minutes before you can actually you know, play?

3. The LUDICROUS amount of cheats in The Sims 2 is gone in The Sims 3, all those darn testing cheats. (WHERE'S MY SIM MODDER AND R'S DEATH CREATOR?!?!)

4. Mods!!! The Sims 2 feels like there's a never ending sea of mods to look for, unlike The Sims 3!

5. Objects don't appear white while their texture loads.

6. Speaking of above, Sims sometimes don't appear in TS3 (especially in TS3 University...)

7. Traits. I'm not really a fan of it, I prefer the Zodiac signs. Also, TS2 is my reference for what zodiac signs determine for real people!

8. And the NPCs. It's funny when Sims get hit with Evil Crumplebottom's purse (insert evil laugh here).

9. VSync!!!! UGH!!!! The Sims 3's graphics tear all the darn time!!!!

10. Although some see this as better, I don't like Story Progression. The NPC's age and die, and so do my sims when I'm on a different lot! NO!!!!

Bonus Reasons

11. The Sims 2 was free on Origin, with ALL EP's and SP's and u can still get it by asking nicely for it (if they ask for a CD key, Google is your friend)!

12. Making out is hotter :P (lol sorry)
