There's always gonna be bugs it has so much moving Parts to do a Sims game

No really it should put sims 2 and sims 3 together. With better graphics. That would be such a powerful game.

There are mods for that and they work well

there are mods now that can help with these kind of issues. we have the smooth patch and other things that you can do in order to help with lag.

@@spongebob8157 it ain't that easy and no one wants that we want sims 5

It just has better graphics but if you add some cc in sims 3 you can have realistic sims 🥰

I agree, but don't forget TS3 also had the super predatory points shop

@@SnrubSource - The Sims 3 Store has really nice stuff but you're not forced to buy any of it because there is SO MUCH great free CC for TS3. Plus what are you talking about predatory? TS4 base game is so empty, people need to buy all the tons of DLCs for it just to make it a little interesting (but it still gets very boring quickly). THAT'S predatory, not TS3's store.

@@melodyseverything6999 I didn't say TS4 wasn't predatory as well. Imagine paying $500+ for all the DLCs when you can just use the EA DLC Unlocker

@@SnrubSource yeah because everyone knows what that is?? And if you’re playing on console you’re just SOL.

😨

Truly incredible gameplay

Realism

😂😂😂

sism 3 folks were on crack and i love that

Completely agree, the sims 3 has so many options and plot twists. Get bored after creating my house in the sims 4 and the constant loading screens… don’t even get me started

just like animal crossing what a shame

Legit. The only things I want to do in Sims 4 is make Sims and build. Which are things I barely touch in Sims 3

It's so weird in Sims 4 I make new Sims and new houses for them but then I don't want to play them after that. I totally agree that build by and CAS are the best features of Sims 4. Kind of defeats the purpose of the game in some ways

Agreed. Sims 4 looks good, but the replay-ability SUCKS. It’s so boring.

(Warning: This is a long comment) I started playing Sims 3 when I was 9 years old. And I was so surprised by the variety of possibilities in the basic version of the game. If my sim was a famous musician, then he was driven to work by a pink limousine or a black one (I don't remember well what kind of limousine was in which career, sorry😅). But I remember well the situation when I arranged my sim to the local police station. A police car was automatically added to his luggage. So when he took time off to take care of his children, he continued to drive that car. 😂 It's so weird, but that's why I love Sims 3. I also remember waiting for a meteor to fall, or how it almost killed my sim and I was nearly crying when the meteor fragments started falling around her.😰 (I was a sensitive child, and there was a tense sound of meteor, that made this moment even worse). And then she was abducted by aliens, because she stayed in place and collected the pieces of meteor. Also, with the sims 3 addons I got into collecting stones, cutting them into different shapes, and selling them. And my families always practiced alchemy, so they could make potions and sell them in a special shop that was frequented by zombies that growled at my characters, and sometimes had bitten them to turn into zombies too. I also love imaginary friends, and mummies, and other supernatural beings. Travel to different countries, higher education and campus life, and different interesting cities with their own family stories to read, as well as secret locations, secret doors... There was so much in The Sims 3 that I can't even list it all right now. Even now, when I haven't played Sims for many years, I still learn something new about this game that I never knew even after playing it for years, before quitting it. I really want Sims 5 to be at least a little similar to the previous parts (taken together), otherwise I don't see the point of making the next part of the game. (Sorry for making such a long comment, I just had to speak it out loud to finally express all my thoughts about The Sims.)

​@jeida1485 I think sims 3 graphics are way better 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@jordynbeloved4268 I hate the sims models in 3, everyone looks the same

Sims 3 sims are actually very pretty to me! And with custom content, they are BEAUTIFUL!

@@jordynbeloved4268 Really? Yikes they look like potatoes lol

@digthewarmth I guess it could also depend on your style preference and your computer graphics

​@@digthewarmth they look like potatoes if you have been used to the sims 4, i personally never realized how potato they look until sims 4 came out 😂 Also the sims 2 is very old timey graphic wise, but they won for making the sims appropriately expressive

That's the thing that hurt me the most, I played Sims 4+DLC for 3 weeks then had enough and switched back to base game Sims 3 and have more fun playing the game.

But… but… but, technology has improved so much since Sims 3. HAHAHAHA!!! Don’t make me puke.

Me with a low end pc that can barely play the sims 4 without making a sound of a literal plane taking off:🥴

It was limited to the same world, my friend with a fried brain.

i love horses too but i think it’s better to have a separate pack with horses cause you can do so much with them like doing races or breeding them. so that they wouldn’t be underdone if you get what i mean :)

is there no mod for graphic sims 4 style in sims 3? mannn.... that's 1 mod would be enough 😢

I hope sims 5...if we ever get that, is a combination of the two (and maybe the animations we got in sims 2😳...or maybe I'm thinking of 1..)

@@MelonHere20 supposedly sims 5 are supposed to be open world like multiple players with the return of Sims 3 features or something like that its a hope af

@@eeveescrown U thinking that since we used to get pack for each *big thing* but here u go horses and all animals and a lot gameplay came in 1 pack in sims 3 and sims 4 can make like 5 packs just to have same content

What computer do you have? Sadly I can’t play the sims 3. My computer can’t handle it!

Same!

@@EpicDevine05 I have an Alienware

@@justinenicole3926 hello, I’m looking for a new computer to get back to my sims 3 world 😍 I have all the DLC + several mod. I had a good computer with a graphic card i5 it was running ok but couldn’t do big world. Does yours ? And which Alienware do you have ?

I do not know about the comment owner but I have been using HP Envy (2019 or 2020 version im not sure) and it runs sims 3 perfectly. Ofc Nrass mods like mastercontroller, overwatch and traffic do help a lot.

According to simmers who are sims 4 -ss kissers in FB groups, it's better because they can focus each occult in their pack. Okay, then. Give them all of your money, dumb-ss.

but vampires/witches/werewolfes are better on the sims 4 tho,

​@@gabrielandy9272Personally, I prefer vampires and werewolves in The Sims 3 more, but witches in The Sims 4 are better imo Even so, I think witches in Sims 4 are lacking a lot and The Sims 2 witches are my favorite

even tho we cant make aliens naturally in sims 3 like you can in sims 4 cas its so much worth it to actually try and get one by playing the game

i agree

Yep, people always give Sims 4 shit, but the one thing they never mention is that Sims 4's camera controls and build more are just better (minus some details). I once tried to play Sims 2 again and just couldn't because the controls felt so irritating to me now

The Sims 4 people look just slightly too cartoonish imo, while the other games are slightly cartoonish they had a bit more realism

@@leDespicable i spent years playing ts4 before changing to 3, so i can tell you the control thing is not that big of deal. at the beginning i found it strange, but after a couple days i got used to it & now i even prefer ts3's controls, you have more options and povs with them

@@onlyfrog Of course you can get used to everything, but objectively the controls are more intuitive in Sims 4. It's still missing some features though, of course.

That's where I'm disappointed. The sims seem to lack more detail in 4 than in 3. In 3 the hair was so fun, there was a color wheel for that, roots, highlights. Last time I tried 4 there were like 3 or 4 fun haircolors

Imagine TS3 with the build mode of the TS4. Also car door animations like from TS2 in there too. TS3 is my favorite, followed closely by TS2. TS3 is the game I plan to buy all the expansions, and probably stuff packs for.

There’s no excuse for TS4 not having all the gameplay features from TS3, along with the upgraded graphics. GRAPHICS DON’T MAKE A GAME, ELECTRONIC ARTS!!!

the imaginary friend!!

And, now they’re bringing that all back in Sims 5 as if it’s some great new innovation. 🙄

Create-A-Style is the absolute pinnacle of customization in The Sims and none of the other games can compare.

What!? I've played this game for years and never noticed that. That's so cool!

The Sims 4 worlds are as boring as watching paint dry.

What I like most about Sims 3 is… …everything. 😂

You still can in 4.

They have season festivals lmao

@@savannahmarieee6282 but season festivals on ts4 are always a fail, don't work or are disappointing 😭 (like most parties & events on ts4 tbh)

some occults, like vampires, are better on ts4, they have way more features & gameplay. BUT it only occurs bc they came in a pack only for vampires, with the price of a sims's 3 expansion with all of the occults lol

@@onlyfrogI’ve attended every festival and every event and every party in Sims 4 and I always leave early out of absolute, mind-numbing boredom.

Same! In Sims 4 we only get this feature using a mod 🤡

Sims 4 stripped everything fun out of Sims 3 … then, charged more for it. Which tells me more about the lack of programming skills in modern kids than it does about EA. Programmers aren’t as creative or skilled as they once were. Everyone is just lazy today.

@@AdmoreMethod likely its rarely nothing to do w/ the skill of the programmer but rather the mega billion dollar Tripe A studio never giving their employees actual time to have fun & create something new. it’s jusy about money now, the companies are the lazy one’s. Quite counterintuitive to criticize the employees rather than who’s actively controlling & forcing them put out lackluster nonesense. Not to mention EA being too lazy to actually HIRE playtesters. Game had shaky foundations & in 2023 they still have not accommodated.

@@findingbrooki Are you suggesting that EA actually gave the programmers orders to NOT make the Sims 4 as interactive and fun as the Sims 3…?!? 👀

Where can I buy the old versions of the sims? I only have the 4th version. And I have to download mods to make it a bit more fun, lol.

​@@Ariayil98 they're 4 different games

@@sagi5461 I know, I just wanted to know where can I download them :P

In the Sims 4 Get to Work you are able to deliver a baby in the hospital; and you can go inside with them while it's going on

@@12ush.oh wow, an expansion pack to properly deliver babies. In sims 3 it was base game to go to the hospital to have one

You can go to hospital, just click on the sim and it says "Go to hospital for birth" You don't follow them, but they are able to

What? This has been in the game for a long time now. Did you even bother to do a Google search?

@@Meshisathat’s the problem. so much of the sims 4 is just “you tell them to do it/go there, and they do, but you can’t follow them.” and if you can, you go through like 10 loading screens. i don’t know why they took a step backward on that…

Doesn't matter if you are a child, adult or even older! Sims 3 is superiorrr ! :)

OMFG… RIGHT?!? Babies are a fuk’n waste of time in Sims 4.

I hate sims 3 community

Hey, just asking because I really liked playing TS4 and now want to download TS3. What recommendations do you have for necessary expansion packs? 😊

@@henrikeotzipka6998 I’m here for the same reason 😅

@@henrikeotzipka6998maybe late, but my favorite are late night, supernatural, generations, seasons, pets, and island living. I would say the other packs are more like sims 4 in the sense that they serve like one purpose rather than being part of the entire game experience (other than showtime which just felt lacking to me). But all of those packs are truly game changing and can be used at any time in any world and feel necessary.

​@@samstone1718don't forget about world adventure, into the future, ambition, and showtime.

Except graphics.

​@@digthewarmthAnd world progression.

🤝

And, even though technology supposedly improved… Sims 4 actually devolved.

you have to use nrass modes to make the game smoother. there’s literally no excuse. i play it smoothly on a 5+ old mac 🧍.. not even a pc.

you installed a 14 years old game and expected it to work perfectly without you doing nothing, didn't you? anyways, accoton's sims 3 fix guide video would help you a lot

Yeah, if you have more than three packs installed then it lags a lot. There are ways to fix it though. Open world and color wheel also make the game lag. They left that information out. Sims 3 is still great though.

Sims 3 got me hooked to keep on supporting the game. Sims 4 made me leave the game. Gay game developed lazy mfs lol

i would like you to try out nraas mods, especially overwatch and errortrap. they help make the game stable.

Yeah the sims 4 sims are much better looking

Yeah personally I enjoy sims 4 more.

Or… since technology has improved a LOT since Sims 3… maybe NOT go backwards. It’s not like the new lot has any new features from the lot you just left. It’s just more of the same ole same ole nothing going on.

Hey, just asking because I really liked playing TS4 and now want to download TS3. What recommendations do you have for necessary expansion packs? 😊

Same ! As someone who grew up and hit life stages with The Sims games, it's hard to enjoy TS4. The pure euphoria of playing TS3 for the first time and seeing the map, the cars and the endless customization was beyond words and it's not something you can take back. It took my sister 6 years to enjoy TS4 but now she's hooked. Not me lol

Hey, just asking because I really liked playing TS4 and now want to download TS3. What recommendations do you have for necessary expansion packs? 😊

​@@henrikeotzipka6998me too, I played Sims 4 on my pc, downloaded all available mods, made possibilities but still it lacks a personal feel to it. So I decided to install Sims 3 last night & downloaded some good mods, then I pretty enjoyed it until now. The open-world map without loading screens, snappy Sims interactions (no freezing Sim, unlike in Sims 4), and everything is just so refined. ❤

​@henrikeotzipka6998 Generations is the only EP I don't have (and I'm not getting it for personal reasons), but it's highly recommended in the community. I personally recommend Ambitions and Seasons. Ambitions in particular is an absolute must-have.

Garbage community that keep saying that sims 3 is better than sims 4

I play vanilla withlile no lag. I actually experienced more lag with brass and cc

I really wanna play sims 3 but it performs shit on mine (even though it has nraas). Half-second freezing when I click on any sim, screen tearing even when I enable vsync and limit frames to 59-60 fps, fps keeps jumping to a wide range of lower values instead of being consistent... I guess I'll just stick with my heavily modded sims 4 that somehow still runs fine :(

@@inzanity490 get ya specs up dawg. That open world really takes a toll on the performance. That's the main reason sims 4 ain't open world

but since when can you play vanilla the sims 4 😭? the simulation lag, the crazy change of emotions, the lack of features & personality.. i used to have dozens of mods on ts4, while on ts3 i only use seven or so. and it depends baby. like, i also love nraas mods but errortrap & overwatch totally break my ts3, even if they are good for everyone else. i must be cursed.

nrass story progression makes my game lag too much as well 🥲

Might be the night life one?

It's from seasons

@@_new_french_touch_ night life is sims 2 babes 😭💕

Imagine the lags 😖

TS4 doesn’t freeze because it only has 10% of the features of TS3.

Maybe you don’t have a good pc because it works fine for everyone else

lol, my friend tried to play ts4 on her pc and it didn't work... now she's playing ts3 on her girlfriend's pc.

I hate when someone says THAT.

TS4 babies are nothing more than pointless objects. 😩

That’s why we love TS3 over TS4 - because of all the wonderful little details that TS4 dumped.

Electronic Arts will offer many of the TS3 features - as if they’re doing something new and innovative. 🙄

EA doesn’t give a flying fuk about its players. It literally lives off the coattails of The Sims (created by Maxis and released in 2000).
