Ah only trying to use the features of a certain world / pack to make money is such a good idea too! I tried this in a video a little while back, for Sims 3 Pets!! Nice! I just googled that challenge and it sounds like so much fun, good luck with it! :)

@@YasminsCorner thanks a lot. And no money tree or Patchy ofcourse it isn't realistic to me 😏

Hey Hannah, thanks for the tip! Can I ask what you mean by the three foods? Is this a feature added in Growing Together? If so, I don't have the pack yet but will definitely look into it! :)

@@YasminsCorner It's in the base game with infants. Just grab a high chair and have them try new food.

Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it!💖

Ah so glad you enjoyed the vid Amy! Definitely drop an update if you give it a go in sims 3!😍

Thanks for watching!! I’m glad you enjoyed 🥰

Wow 300k on one bottle?! That’s wild - I definitely need to do some more testing with the skill in both games over time to form a fuller comparison. Also - such a fair point about the value of flexibility to different players: I guess I’m a bit of a spreadsheet nerd like you 🙈 but the sims 4 generally seems to be appealing to the more casual ‘little but often’ players. I’ll definitely be sure to take considerations like that into my comparisons in the future!

@@YasminsCorner It was finely aged and sold at a 300% markup. I was trying to make $1m with the fewest bottles. It looks like 3 bottles is the min. Sims 3 has really good structure to it. We first go to France. It's the only place to get the equipment and the rare grapes. I like the effort it takes. But when it comes to making those amazing nectars, they're impossible to figure out in one lifetime, so we google. Yes, experimentation is possible in ts3, but it's not advisable. To find the best nectars I read the list of ingredients off a website. And that's not very different from reading the ingredient list in game. So the Brew Barons (which I only played as a demo) has a good brewing system. Recipes are preset, and discoverable. But there are tons of different ingredients and dozens upon dozens of recipes. 50 to 100 is better than trillions.

Definitely do give it another go!! I didn’t pick it up for a while but it’s become one of my favourites!🥰

RIGHT?!? I was thinking that! Plus I don’t even have the laundry day pack so truly, those flares must have been so stanky 🤢😂

Ah I’m so jealous! Wish I could have snagged the sims 2 back in the day 🥲 would love to try getting into it one day so I can make better comparisons to it myself 😅

yes! i agree

Nothing stays downloaded and I cannot find a solution. The joy I just felt seeing a Sims 3 video in 2024 turned straight to sadness because I can't play it LOL

Hey Cassidy! Ahh no I have felt your pain in the past - I had an issue where I would get an error message any time I tried loading a save in a store world because the game had uninstalled it :( I found this solution on an EA Answers thread called: "The Sims 3 - Saved Games Not Loading After Store Content Download Fix" which seems to clean out all store content, but I have to re-do it every so often. Otherwise, I've seen quite a few folks in the forums mention switching back to Origin if that's still possible. I hope you find a solution!! <3

Hahaha glad to hear I’m not the only one!🙈 hope you enjoyed the video!🥰

Same here…

So glad you enjoy the content!! I really appreciate the feedback - got lots more fun sims videos in the works!🥰

I agree! In a way I think that’s why I have always liked how the sims 4 added game packs as a new form of DLC. The store sets in the sims 3 don’t always have the same level of consistency in terms of the amount of new gameplay they bring 🥲 maybe for my next comparison I’ll have to test a feature that didn’t come via the sims 3 store 😅

@@YasminsCorner if you have horse ranch i'd be curious to see you compare making money from horses! i've been playing with ts4 horses and it feels harder to get rich from it but i can't tell if that's just because i'm focusing on like 5 sims at once in my current household, or if it's actually harder to profit.

@alexdh2001 oooooo I actually don’t have horse ranch yet.. but I’ve been really thinking about getting it as it’s on sale at the moment and I really enjoyed playing around with horses in the sims 3 recently - maybe you’ve twisted my arm into getting it because I’d love to make a video about that!!👀😍

How?

@@jx_jusandrecheck tumblr by searching for, “free sims 3 store items,” but if you’re downloading functional items like the restaurant items make sure you get the updated fixes for them or they can be glitchy and not work. You can get the entire sims 3 store catalog for free basically.

@@jx_jusandre games4theworld

Wow that’s amazing that you haven’t picked up sims 4 yet after it’s been out for almost 10 years now! If you do decide to take the plunge, I’d definitely suggest only getting the packs you want when they are on sale!😅 but glad you enjoyed the video!🥰

Aw thanks so much! Really really appreciate the kind words and glad your enjoying the content🥰✨

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the video!!🥰

@@YasminsCorner I was just as surprised that the Sims 4 won, I wanted so badly for the Sims 3 to win. However, clearly The Sims 4 did better in regards to long-term management of a restaurant, as well as progression. :3 It had a cool system that was decently flushed out.

@holyrandomness5654 Honestly I was feeling quite sure that the sims 4 would come out badly on this one with the reputation which Dine Out has - so was surprised it won too! But maybe I was a little harsh on the sims 3 given then different price points of the two? I’m having a lot of fun with this format though so any suggestions for more comparisons are welcome!☺️

Haha right?! At least not in vanilla sims 4!🙈

Hello!💖 I believe you should be able to buy store content if you purchased sims 3 via Steam… I’ve checked a few wiki pages and it says that players may have trouble with installing the content depending on the browser they use, though it looks like using Chrome is where players have the best luck! Try checking out this wiki page for more info: ‘game guide: getting store content to work with the Steam version of The Sims 3’ ! Hope this helps 🥰

@@YasminsCorner Thank you so much, I'll definitely check it out!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! But yes I agree, it’s definitely refreshing to see the Sims 4 do well at something for once 🙈😂

You should be able to find them by searching for: ‘sims 3 currency’ on the EA app 🥰

@@YasminsCorner Thank you.

I agree! I know a good amount of players don’t seem to care much for Get To Work, but I think it’s actually one of my favourite expansions for Sims 4 - I had a lot of fun diving back into it for this video :)

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Great question! My top 3 expansions for the sims 3 probably have to be: seasons (weather makes the worlds feel so much more alive!), ambitions (I love the skills, active careers, and world of Twinbrook), and world adventures (which adds a couple of new skills, a bunch of new collectibles, and of course the travel worlds which are super fun!) - hope that helps!! :)

My favs are late night, ambitions, generations, seasons , World adventures (uni and supernarural are cool too but you dont need them)

Glad you’re enjoying the videos!!🥰❤️

Glad to hear it! I hope it helps with your legacy 🥰

🥰 hope you found the video helpful!💖

I’m so glad this video helped! Yay, I hope the rest of your work day passes fast so you can get to simming 😍

I can be the same to be honest! I went through a mad phase last year where I downloaded loads of discounted sets using the daily deals spreadsheet - but even then I can forget to visit the lots I have 😅 so the very little house was one I built myself in Appaloosa Plains, the big grey one is a pre-made one in Riverview, and the one in the footage showing off the toddler items is a modified pre-made one in Monte Vista, hope that helps!🥰

Pahaha I know!! I was cracking up as I was filming that clip - gotta love the sims 3’s janky charm 😂

Is that the ‘locate a collectible’ option? If it’s another one - how the heck did I miss that!!🤦‍♀️ I’ll have to check it out next time I boot up my game!😅

Aghhh I LOVE the brunch at the old mill set!! The canning station especially was very close to making it on this list - and will definitely be mentioned if I do a follow up video in the future! I’m so glad that that set could bring you a little joy during that really rubbish time, for me it was animal crossing new horizons that dragged me through that Christmas period 🥲 thank you for sharing!💖
