I forgot about that! Loved it

yeah! and each bookcase had their own storage space so you could have them specifically for children/toddler books, cook books, skill building or whatever else!

@@thesims3girlie Yes but I hate when you delete a bookcase, all the books didn't get deleted along with the bookcase. They all been moved to your family inventory.

That was so good feature. At least for a bookworm like me

is this.. what Book Nook Kit supposed to be?? Ok i'm nitpicking on Sims 4 now.. but that function is awesome..

Looking at Sims3 graphics you'd think Sims4 was poised to be some mind blowing, hyper realistic game.

Well there's a game that is 100% a sims 2 and sims 3 remastered coming out on september 12th, it's Life by You, it has been developped by Paradox and and Rod Humble the creator of Second Life and the sims 3 :D I can't wait !!!! There's also Paralives, but still in development

@@DiscoTimelordASD yea ngl the sims3 models were impressive for their time, just that some assets has really low res textures, and the game’s lighitng bortheree me at times

@@KatsyKat Oh agreed. I just expected that Sims4 would have taken the realistic quality sky high given the new quality of graphics and improvements they had so much time to make. It would have been glorious.

@tandtmusic I'm actually excited for those. I'm a retro gamer, so I'm used to older games but I won't shy away from these👍

yes!! the sims 3 was so realistic and ambitious ♡

That's so cool

@@ReginaTrans_ Because of the sounds? Yeah, no.

@@ReginaTrans_ I don't think they were trying to be smart. It's not the little details that made it a problem, it's the fact the game itself was so expansive and ambitious.

@@ReginaTrans_ I know what you mean. But you answered to a comment mentioning the sounds. So I replied to that. And having different sounds for each counter surface doesnt make your game lag. How would it? A sound is played when something is put on a counter top. It doesnt matter how many different sounds there are, the game only plays one each time the Sim interacts with it. So there is always a sound being played, no matter if its just the same one over and over, or if its a different sound being picked each time. Its a pretty simple math. Now, even if it causes delays due to the sound taking too long to load, you would just have those sound delays, but the game wouldnt lag, it would just keep running smoothly. I know that because I have such sound delays in Fallout 4 with weapons and music on my pip boy due to HQ sound mods being installed in my game. The game doesnt lag, only the sounds take longer to load and theres a delay before they are being played.

Yeah, some of the fabric was... questionable lol

@@DiscoTimelordASD I think they had their light reflections off. My only CC in Sims 3 was game mods and meshes. Saved so much room.

I used to do this in cas to get unique hair colors

@@sarahni I made a shade of brown I liked & switched out all the default green-brown NPC hairs!

I have sooooo many worlds downloaded in Sims3 - Halloween, dystopian, Strangetown, Candyland... The fun never ends!

Dude just saying anything to make that youtube money dude can't even build

@@ojerico6097 nobody cares

This is true! I played the Sims 3 for years without purchasing any other packs. The base game was all I needed. But I’ve bought several for the Sims 4! They made the Sims 3 so good that DLC wasn’t needed

They did because it was supposed to help with perfomance, as a lot of people said create a style indeed lag in older noteboks and they just wanted to avoid that.

Bro they split sims 3 packs into different sims 4 packs this isn't news, they ain't hiding you'd think they would at least hide their shame but the actual gall is insane.

Exactly, the customization was really everything even if u didnt have a ton of items in the sims 3.

In the sims 3 you bought packs to get the gameplay. In the sims 4 there is barely any gameplay in the packs so the only reason for buying them is pretty items

agreed! and even if they dulled the game for performance purposes, sims 4 packs are so hit or miss. they usually bug out and even more so after a patch update.

Which is why in the recent packs EA outsources their builds... Either that or they're trying to get free labour...

You definitely can grab walls to push and pull them in sims 3. You just can't move the whole room around (which I find annoying anyway because when I'm editing and turn the camera the whole damn room rotates)

😂amazing. I never noticed that

If you also owned Sim City 4, you could even create new neighbourhoods for Sims 2 in that game. Yes, you could do a lot more in Sims 2 and definitely in Sims 3.

They aren't forcing anyone to buy their packs. People are buying them because people want them.

@Oozaru85 because the options in base game are so limited and ugly that a lot of people feel like they have to spend money to get the enjoyment out of a game they want. If they had a create a style mode then people would at least have more options, especially those that can't afford to personalize their games the way they should be able to. Why would a company regress in their features if not to gouge the fan base. Feels icky to me and a turn off after so many years supporting the game.

@@HDGamingPlus Yes, they gouge their customers. But they aint forcing anyone to buy their stuff. Thats a big difference. You dont need the game to live. Its not something your life depends on. If you dont like EAs business practices, dont support them. Dont buy their stuff. And if ur on PC, there are tons of free mods to improve your game.

A first ever let's play I've seen of ts4, I maybe watched like 4 minutes of it. Just because I wanted to see what the game looked like. From the very beginning, I knew I'm not going to get ts4, ts3 was more than enough, and honestly, I was really upset they stopped supporting the game. I watched through the cas, which I thought was really nice, and then the "world view" appeared... Ugly, small, grey. I listened to the monologue of the creator of the video, saying there were no pools, cars, and plenty of other different things. After she finished talking about all the things missing, I just turned off the video.

this is *exactly* the type of stuff that made sims 3 amazing! we could just be totally free in our own weird expressions

it's a breath of fresh air.

It 100% won't lol, don't get your hopes up

Idk the foundation tool is annoying in s4. It’s all automatic. Only thing it has going for it is the ability to move the rooms & whole lot imo

The camera functions alone make building absolutely miserable. Edge scroll but only on 3 sides. The key for rotating the camera also turns the whole damn room/roof you're working on. Tilt function requires 2 keys. Like tf were they thinking

What does this mean?

And here's the problem, requesting yet another pack when the previous game of the franchise was better... You're just giving EA more excuses to rip you off...

Do you like them more now, considering sims 4 has even less choices?

@@creativecutieprincessd ehhh no I still hate swatches because I always felt like they looked too fake and poor quality. Sure you get more options of wood and carpet and fabric but I just never thought the fabric swatches or wood swatches looked realistic or nice and a lot of the patterns were kind of tacky and not something you'd ever use on a real couch. I own a lot of the packs, so I feel like I have plenty of options lol I love the couches with the blankets and pillows, or the kitchen counters that have the cottage kitchen vibes(I think I usually use the ones from that stuff pack country kitchen or whatever it's called)

@@Juwlz it was 2009 after all and I think sims 3 was going for a 1950's - 1970's style sitcom aesthetic and the style of that time was horrid I know I might get hate from boomers for this but it was really bad, hence why the swatches suffered the only good thing I can say is if you want to build a vintage style house using 70s, 80s and 90s stuff pack it really fits I won't lie.

@@Juwlz Fair enough

You know almost all base game objects (and some store downloadables) were basically conversions of Sims2 objects... To add, they were more specifically the colonial, club, and quaint from base game, mission from OfB, country from seasons, and a modified glamour bedroom from glamour life stuff. The store had tiki from seasons, storybook from OfB, 50's diner from nightlife, old town from TS1 UL, and a "secret" one: the hotel theme from BV...

The microtransactions in sims 3 were always very optional and unnecessary. You could buy worlds or essentially kits/clothes/lots but the game would be completely fine without them. Whilst now there's really not many and they're all advertised as packs rather than little add ons.

I think with exception of create a style tool the Cas from sims 4 is better. The body and face is a lot more customizable. And the sims are kind of beautiful even if you try to make them ugly.
