The last The Sims game I played was the 2nd one back when it came out. I'm wondering if any are worth picking up or is this just my nostalgia making me want to revisit the series? I wanted to play something that is a change of pace from my usual games.

Picking up, no.
Pirating with all dlc. Yes.
Although iirc the new sinscity isn't even worth pirating compared to simcity 3000.
They're talking THE Sims not SimCity, SimAnt, etc.
But for Simcity, Cities Skylines has overtaken it although CS2 is apparently pretty buggy.
Your advice for pirating with all dlc applies for CS1 too. I bought it originally on Steam with a Humble Bundle then bought another HB with it again to get more DLC, in retrospect should have just pirated the whole thing.
Cities skylines 2's issues aren't the bugs, but the game design. Cars move around randomly instead of having a destination. Production chains don't matter. The simulation itself is wrong. In fact it's made to fool the player into believing there's a simulation where there isn't one. These aren't bugs: Paradox has stated that they won't change any of that.
Cities Skylines 1, in contrast, is a wonderful game (with mods). Watch some Biffa on YT playing the game to see what the gameplay is like with the popular mods.
No doubt brother.
Shit, I'm out of the loop on Sim city, when did they come out with a new one?
The last mainline was the disastrous 2013, though they did an MMO & mobile in 2014.
Cities Skylines is the new king of citybuilders. Last I heard the 2nd one was still buggy but the original is great. Once again you'll want to pirate w/ all DLC. The full game is >$300 Canadian (w a 9% discount) but that includes a bunch of radio stations- there's 11 major expansion packs that are $15-20 each.
