If they created The Sims 5 with the same exact gameplay (literally copy and paste) as sims 3 but updated the aesthetics and added some of the gameplay from Sims 2, I'd buy it again

In the sims 3 you could play 1 expansion and be completely satisfied. Actually you could play the base game and be satisfied. As it should be.

Sims 3 has always been superior. I own all of the content for 3 and 4 and 4 has nothing on the Sims 3 base game, even with all of 4’s content installed 😭

The reason why supernatural feel more fun than for example the more developed occults in sims 4 is cause of the open world. Playing as a vampire is more fun cause you can go hunting in the park without a loading screen. You can go to the forest with your werewolf to hunt without a loading screen.

sims 3 worlds from the store were easy s tier. store in general was cash graby for sure, but the worlds came fully fleshed out, with completely unique esthetic and catalog items. they were amazing for breaking out of the typical gameplay. love and miss them lol

Sims 3 > Sims 4 Change my mind

I loved World Adventures. One of my all-time favourite expansions. You could still really see a lot of attention to detail. All those explorable pyramids, caves and dungeons. Oh, what a wonderful time that was...

As much as I really love a lot of the different packs TS3 had, I can happily play what I feel is a complete game with just base, Ambitions, and World Adventures. There's SO much to do with even just these packs. I loved exploring china, I loved being a ghost hunter, I loved blowing stuff up at the town dump, I loved making wine with stuff from my garden, I loved learning 6 songs in different languages that's I'd then randomly sing in the shower. TS3 just had SO MUCH MORE than TS4 does. But I did also love the University pack and earning more traits, I loved the Supernatural pack and making potions so I can play each of the supernaturals, I loved pets and trying to collect every bird and lizard available.

My favourite sims 3 packs were seasons, supernatural and generations. I loved that in Generations you could, not only have woohoo in all sorts of places you could also read a bedtime story to you children ♥ to your toddler, if you had supernatural you could take your baby or a toddler and rock with them in the rocking chair, aaaaah i miss the sims 3

World Adventures was amazing, I never understood the initial criticism it got when it was released, it’s jam packed with so much cool content and gameplay!

I recently have been so burnt out from the sims 4, it can be a lot of fun but if you use your imagination and do challenges. I’m just now switching to the sims 3 and I’m hoping it keeps me more invested. I’ve always wanted more gameplay in my sims games (I loved get famous purely because it felt like I was actually working towards something)

You put all the dlc worlds in the lowest tier and I agree with that for the most part. But Aurora Skies was not only gorgeous, but it came with some exclusive toddler stuff like the OP playpen. Also, it’s inspired by Iceland and there’s just not enough Icelandic representation. I would put Aurora Skies in “get it”, it’s simply too good.

The more and more I play the sims 4, the more packs I buy just to try and get back the fun from the sims 3. I feel like I’ve been ripped off. Atp it feels like the whole of sims 4 is a cash grab when the previous games felt more thought out, designed with love and care for the players.

I'm so glad someone else loves world adventures as much as I did. I think it's my favorite pack from any of the games! It had so much gameplay it could literally be its own stand alone game. Those tombs were so much fun and I loved all the activities like stomping grapes for nectar and all the collectibles you could find. I'd love to know how many hours I spent in that pack, but then again maybe not 😂🙈

When I see all of The Sims 3 pack, I think "The Sims 4 could never....." 🤣 For the longest time, I only owned The Sims 3 base game and World Adventures. I didn't buy the others until 2019, SERIOUSLY.

Also positive comment but when you showed gameplay with your facecam with the red hair you had. Your weight loss you’ve been working on I noticed it straight away you must be super proud of yourself. You are a high striver and it shows literally through your content. Love watching you and hearing your opinions. You’re an amazing KZfaqr and I swear I only watch you and Plumbella the most when it comes to The Sims haha

I do admit They were really cashgrabby with the store worlds but hear me out. Some of them did'nt deserve to be put in the katy perry tier list and are actually very fleshed out. I always play in aurora skies, so that hurt me :') cuz i love it It's my favourite world after all. Sunlit tides is the most stunning world ever. I kinda play island paradise in this world. And I am absolutelty in love with Lucky palms, Monte vista and Roaring heighs, ( which has some really fun stuff to do with your sims actually). Yes, they are overpriced and not worth that much money but you can get them through other means and not give a single penny to ea. That's what I do the store content basically. because it actually had some excellent stuff. The other worlds? I don't really care much about them honestly. I like some, but theyre are msotly average and very similar, and the ones i don't like are just too excentrick and thematical and it's not my thing. Still I they did a good with those ones, lots of people love them. like Midnight hollow, lunar lakes., dragon valley, etc (which, I actually really like, I just never get the change to play in it because of its theme) Another thing, Barnacle bay should've had a ranking of his own below katy perry, which was weird, wacky, and controversial BUT. Barnacle bay is worse because it's plain bad and boring and everyone agrees on this one. It was the last one reckovscki reviewed for a reason. no one likes it 😂

Late night even had bands and so many instruments. That pack was insanely large

World Adventure and Late Night were the base of my two favourite saves. With late night, I had a five generations family of vampires started out as a band. I still remember that we could build mansions with elevators, which was what this family absolutely needed. It was so fun just playing gigs as siblings and have their spouses hate their partner's twin. The other family was just husband and wife travelling to all three of these countries. The kung fu master husband and kleptomaniac wife collected a mansion full of stolen exotic goods and treasures. It was so much fun and had me feeling like my dreams came true through the sims. It's a shame that island paradise was super laggy on my pc, I loved building resorts. Ambitions was really good imo coz i simply loved cracking cases as a grumpy private detective. Pets had me searching for a unicorn every single sim day. Other packs didn't leave a long enough impression.

To be fair; in TS 2 & 3 stuff packs were supposed to be just that: stuff. No gameplay, just stuff for building and CAS. So in that sense I feel like TS3 did ok on them, there weren't too many and there were mostly a good number of items. I'm excluding the car one from this, since it was maybe a little too niche in focusing ONLY to speedy cars and racing asthetic.... and I've never played the movie one, so hard to say, but I feel like I could have liked some historic costumes for my vampire sims 😅

i think im the only one who likes katy perry sweet treats. its so stupid and random and hideous i love it lol

Now that you're doing the comparison is when it really hit me! Late Night was so many packs combined jeez. Get Famous was an expansion pack, an entire expansion pack focused on celebrities which is great but it needed more (and less Judy roaming around EVERYWHERE). If The Shit 4 did something right is the game packs for the occults and that comes from a player who doesn't enjoy anything too supernatural in a LIFE simulation game.

The sims 3 into the future was honestly my favourite pack and I wished they made a pack like that again instead of journey to batu 😵‍💫 u could have plumbots , hover boards, jet packs, build cool futuristic houses with futuristic items/furniture , we do have a few of those in ts4 but it’s not really what I would want lol

Actually you can play as zombie if you get turned into one!

I've seen straight to the topic videos, but yours definitely gets the crown. I love it

I have never played the sims 3 but with each day, I feel like I missed out on something. Also, CONGRATS ON 100K!🥳 Must be a huge milestone for you

The Sims 3: Into The Future is my favorite expansion pack. Back then I couldnt play it becuase i had everything installed (terrible idea) and yhe game took 30 minutes to leload. Now with my modern PC I can experience every pack all at once and convince myself that the werewolfs and dogs play, vampires and werewolfs fight, Halloween is extra special with supernatural and generations and ITF interact with eachother

I played this video while only listening to the audio and what a wild ride. I thought “average” was the tier and “there’s nothing wrong with being average” was an affirmation you liked. Slowly unravelling the truth that any lemon flavored vape was a tier had me on the edge of my seat. And Katy Perry having her own tier? Plot twist of the century.

I agree with island paradise cause now 10 years later so many simmers have developed fixes for that pack in particular so it works much better now

Sorry to bother you, but, you need to try all sims 3 worlds if you can and make a tierlist of all of them! They are so amazing, especially Aurora Skies, Dragon Valley, Midnight Hollow and Monte Vista. You can easily do stories and roleplay with all the landscapes varieties (I made all the sims witches in Dragon Valley for example, you can do the same with vampires in Midnight Hollow, aliens in Lunar lake, Fairies/Werewolves in Hidden Springs, mermaids in Barnacle Bay or Sunlit Tides etc.). I won't talk about lore because they are almost all insane. The store wolrds bring unique objects too, so much useful like the Spa in Sunlit Tides (literraly sims 4 Spa day but with a world lol), store with Midnight Hollow (this is the one equivalent to the Sims 4 get to work one). Also Reverview was a free world, I think it deserves you play in it because there is so much lore in it (Don Lothario, the Jones and the Broke families) and it is a huge, huge HUGE world! One of the biggest if not the biggest world in TS3

I would put seasons to insidious because it has aliens and you get abducted by aliens, so I'm bit salty that it's in lemon flavour vape

i only have the pets, into the future and island pack and the island is my absolute fav. Back then I wanted it because of the mermaid feature but I honestly love it sm because of the resort system.

The Sims 3 Riverview did not deserve to be in Katy Perry Sweet Treats It was litch rally a FREE town. Like, that's a Get It at a minimum. Higher than average but not quite seductive.

Gamechanging tip: If you place the Sims 3 Into The Future Food Synthesizer on any community lot in the present, you can have your food served by a waiter and actually visit a restaurant with your family/spouse. (Without the store content) This is why I would never uninstall the pack.

Yesss love sims 3

I had the showtime/perry version. I can’t find my install cd and you can’t get the same game online. Still seriously thinking about reinstalling everything else. Watching S4FR lps make me miss ts3 a lot

Cheers for making this video, it'll definitely inform my decision on what is worth getting when I eventually end up getting the Sims 3, it's something I've wanted to do for a while now.

The thing I miss about celebrities in sims 3 compared to sims 4 is the rumors that could spread and you coild get disgraced from doing things. It was so puritan as well which I always found super funny like if you had a kid outside of marriage and someone /paparazzi found out bamm the consignment store cashier will be like wtf get out YOU WHORE!!

Wow what a coincidence! Just yesterday I watched your video about ranking the Sims 3 because I saw a great deal on some of them and was wondering if they are worth it 😅

I'm a more CAS based player and I loved the stylist career in Ambitions. I wish we had something like that in TS4

I’m considering purchasing Into The Future right now 🤔 I’ve never even considered buying it but idk, sounds fetch™️

i hope sims 4 will have something like world adventures one day, it was my favorite sims 3 pack to play with back in the day!

World adventure is by far my fave.

I still have an icecream truck driving on my street and it plays mr sandman from the Chordettes when it passes by. It's great tbh

I liked building robots in Into the Future, and you had to travel to the future to find the nanites to make the parts. I miss going to France to learn Nectar Making. Such a fun use for the gardening skill.

I love into the future! The plumbots are genuinely one of my most used features. I love having my sims build/upgrade them and having them live with me in the regular neighborhoods. My average household is usually 1-2 sims with a bunch of robots lmao.

Considering I literally had a dream about being in Bridgeport last night, this just hits different. Ambitions are definitely elite tier and I'm so ashamed I fell off Sims 3 because I woulda loved Isla Paradisio. Sims 3 will always be special for how fleshed out its EXPs were...

Why did you put Riverview to the Katy Perry? It's literally for free😂😂

Who else has never played Sims 3 but will watch any Sims video that Satch makes?

I love The sims 3 showtime ❤ It has a special place in my heart. I'm still hoping to get this in the sims 4

The only expansion i bought for TS3 was actually into the future bc i thought it was such a cool concept and i dont regret buying it. I would buy seasons, pets & generations but im broke and still pissed that you have to PAY for seasons 😭

Calling generations average is crazy. I think if you compare it to the crazy specific stuff of other packs it may seem underwhelming because it’s basically just enhancing the base game by 100, but you can really feel it’s missing presence.

im convinced i j have completely opposite sims 3 opinions bc im obsessed with into the future and showtime like showtime is probably my fav sims 3 pack 😭 either that or ambitions

Best review I ever laid my eyes on thank for making this

Katy Perry’s sweet treats having its own tier is extremely funny

I clicked on this video out of the blue thinking “they better rate World Adventures really high” because it’s my favorite, and Lo and behold

Cannot be topped just like me 😂 we love you satch haha ❤

Bi love your vids can you give us your best mods pls

Its crazy how similar our opinions are. I can't imagine why anyone would dislike World Adventures, it has so much gameplay that we dont normally get in The Sims and especially not anything you'd see these days in ts4. I loved the skills it added too. Ambitions gets a bit tedious but I still recommend it as having job variety and things to do is always welcome. I do think Seasons is overrated but sadly I don't want to play without weather so its still a required pack for me.

you could play world adventures for ages and ages. so replayable too.

I love watching you because you are not woke and you can appreciate a game and not cancel it for cultural appropriation. And the appropriation is not even there anyways. But yeah. Maybe this is because you are British and most of the content is painfully American and woke. And I come from the most not woke country in the world so... Haha

I’ll Be honest. I recently downloaded sims 2 though to myself, wow this game is so good 100% best sims game. I then got interested in 3 and holy shit it’s amazing

This is super helpful because I'm considering buying the Sims 3 since the Sims 4 kinda sucks (I've spent like 600 hours on the Sims 4 so it's not like I hate it, but... I remember loving the Sims 3 as a kid and it seems better than 4 in a lot of ways).

Never played the sims 3 but …now I want to

im obsessed with how you put the last tier as katy perry sweet treats because actually what was the point of that whole pack

My third sim file was a family who became rich in a small town through the wife’s paintings. They vacationed to Islo Paradiso, fell in love with the town, moved, and used their fortune to become resort owners. My older Windows laptop could run Island Paradise, but not my new MacBook Pro. It was my all-time favorite pack; the Sims 4 Island Living wasn’t anywhere near the same level.

Ambitions and World Adventures are my kino. I love them so much. Always love running a rags to riches where I run a profession, get enough money to travel, then make boatloads on dangerous tomb raids. Very interesting gameplay.

Generations is my absolute favorite sims pack of all time tbh, or at least high up there, so I do disagree with you on that. But I appreciate that you try to be as unbiased as possible in these videos, it’s so refreshing when it seems every sims KZfaqr is walking on eggshells trying not to insult the fanbase or whatever

It'd be nice if EA would fix their app to allow me to even DOWNLOAD my purchased expansions for Sims 3. As it is, University Life and Into the Future just get stuck on 'Preparing Download' It's like they want me to pirate the game now.

Thank you! I'm thinking about buying more packs (waiting for sales tho lol) I definitely interested in World adventure, it's perfect for my Lara Croft sims 🥰 I also recommend Late Night, Supernatural and Seasons! It's a fun pack.

Aww Ambitions should be sultry. Look at the Bayless family. They're right secksy.

I really want a personalitiy system with both personalities like the sims 2 and traits from the sims 3. That'd make sims even more unique! :D

Great video 🎉 will you be doing any more live videos? I enjoyed the last one

Did anyone else remember raising unicorns in sims 3? I remember being able to catch one at some river and was surprised their life span was 100 years 😭

my really sad i wasn’t into sims when it was sims 2-3 era. i wanna be able to get and buy themm

any lemon flavor vape killed me lmaooo

it might be a hot take but i dont think any of the worlds were cash grabby. overpriced? absolutely but i think its cool to have different worlds for different people. you gotta pay for ambitions to get twinbrook so u should pay for a new world. the prices being $20 is wild $5 to a max of $10 i think would be more realistic but idk any of the economics of developing a game in the early 2000's

Omg I’m so sad you don’t get ice cream men where you live. We get an ice cream man on our close - me and my husband got ice creams from him last night!

Sims 3 its so beautiful and full,i actually started to play it again :')

Actually, you could become and play as a zombie in Supernatural, but you could not create in CAS. Sims 3 zombies are a bit of a letdown, after Sims 2 zombies being so well done. I know that I am in the minority here, I absolutely love Into the Future (I am a scifi buff). The only downside (for me), was I would have loved to play Into tge Past, as well (because the time machine in ambitions was just a rabbit hole experience). I loved the future tech (call me nerdy). Although, I wouldn't call it top tier, it offered enough to it, to satiate my nerdy side. The only packs that I still do not own, nor do I really care to own are Showtime and Katy Perry's Sweet Treats. I also have to give the Movie Stuff pack a low rating, even though I was excited to get it (just found CC to be better). My top tier goes to: Supernatural (I just love the occults, and the world is just beautiful), Generations (it just offered so much additional gameplay, that a Sims 4 player would have to buy multiple packs for, yet still not have it all), Pets (the ability to control without cheats and the addition of horses and all the extra minor pets: chef's kiss), Seasons (even though I think this should be in the base game), the festivals just made it worth top tier status. Now, next Tier down would be Into the Future (as I specified earlier), Ambitions (sadly, it does not live up to its predecessor: Sims 2's OFB), World Adventures (while I do love the different aspects it had to offer, especially the exploring, I still love both its predecessors a bit more), Island Paradise (would be top tier, but had to dl a clean template, and add in a ton of mods just to run smoothly), after that it added the ability to live on a house boat, and the world is jyst breathtakingly gorgeous❣ Mid Tier for me is Late Night (Sims 2 ApartmentLife was way better, and Supernatural brought better vampires), University Life (while, being able to go to class was kinda nice, being pretty much cut off from the ouside world sucked, plus Sims 2 University kicks A$$). Next to bottom tier: Movie Stuff Pack. Bottom Tier: Showtime (do not own it, do not want it, except maybe for the Genie) and Katie Perry's Sweet Treats. Since I own the entire Sims 3 Store (mostly for free, from watching ads), I would place the rest of the Stuff Packs mid tier (I merely bought them all to have items for builds dled from the exchange). A tip for those who do not know: The Sims 3 Store does have a lot of free items for download, and if you go to the Sims forums (Daily Deal Rotation), you can discover a lot more helpful tips, as well as how to purchase items from the store at their cheapest price, how to finish off sets for free, links to threads that give out prizes (store items, and sometimes DLC), plus so much more. I know so many are put off by the greed of EA, but prior to Sims 4, they did offer SimPoints just for watching ads. Unfortunately, shortly after Sims 4 came out in its horrendous state, they eventually pulled the ads to lure simmers to the worst in the series. 😢

if they made sims 5 with gameplay from 2 and 3 with the create a sim from sims 4, id buy it

I came here specifically to see island resort rated top tier. Nice!

It feels like so long ago that sims packs were SO full of content.. not picked apart to penny pinch like TS4

the only thing i can hope for in sims 5 is sims 3 level gameplay and sims 4 graphics at least.

I started playing sims 4 when i was 12 or so. recently started playing sims 3 pets and already i love it more than the sims 4, although it did take me a few attempts at it since i was used to the sims 4 on pc and not sims 3 on xbox 360

As much as I love the seasons expansion for Sims 3, I agree that it should've 100% been in the base game. Raining should've at the very least been in the base game if they still want to charge players for seasons. Rain was a cut feature for Sims 2, it was seen in early gameplay footage but rumor was that it was cut due to haven' been able to figure out a way to stop rain from appearing indoors. However, they have no excuse for cutting it out of Sims 3 and Sims 4. The fact that the opinion "Seasons should've been in the base game" is somehow an unpopular opinion is, imo, what went wrong with Sims 4. Simmers just keep excusing cutting out features for reselling later.

Am I the only person who remembers dragon valley like it was my fav as a kid and sometimes I feel like I’m crazy because no one remembers it

I'm finally getting my own tank of a laptop, so I think it's about time to check out Sims3. It seems so indepth and fun, I know I will have to do SO much optimisation but that's what Google and external harddrives are for.. Mods!

Can someone explain to me why the sims 4 sucks so bad and the expansion packs don’t even measure up to sims 2 or 3

Instead of making the sims 5 can the sims team just remake the sims 3 but better graphics and less lag They would definitely make money off it and they legit have the base for it just sitting there…

Showtime should have been an updated superstar. Imagine that classic golden age hollywood aesthetic in a world as rich and vibrant as the world adventures ones.

me being the one who got every pack downloaded for the sims 3: all of them are good😊

as someone who play since Sims 2...i still remember the excitement that sims 2 loading screen gave me...or in sims 3, sarcophagus in egypt tombs are really scary....islo paradiso underwater scenery was really something...sims4 feels like too vanilla

Sims 3 is my favourite, without a doubt! I did like 2, but not the loading screens. I don't have all the expansions - just Late Night and Ambitions, which I love - which is why I'm here instead of working...

Okay but katy perry's stuff pack gave us that video of her recording TGIF in simlish and for that I say it was worth it. I mean, not worth getting of course. Just, like, worth existing and having happened lol

i remember when i owned ambitions and i made my dad sim a firefighter (of course the mom sim was a stay at home mom but also self employed) anyways the dad sim ran into a burning building and i decided not to interfere to see what would happen.. not only did he grab something from the fridge (THAT WAS LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT TO THE FIRE), he alerted that there was a fire then proceeded to sit on the couch pointing and groaning about it

Someone made Strangetown as a Sims3 world AND IT'S AWESOME!!! I love Sims3 (next to Sims2).

Dragon Valley was my favourite growing up! My blue elf eared man with a normal sim man (exploringmy hidden gay ness) . The cute little dragons. And the world. Really loved it. You definitely did it dirty. You even gave seasons a higher rank.

Man... this is probably the best review I ever watch

You are so correct about island paradise being an absolute cracking pack!
