♦ Sims 3 vs Sims 4 : Mermaids

As I've said in my community post, I was having issues with lag in Isla Paradiso and I didn't solve it 100% so sorry for the mild breaks in animation, etc. If there's something I appreciated in Sims 4 it was the smoothness and the ability to fast forward time without worrying my game would crush.
Anyways, what do you think of the old vs new mermaids? I thought they'd be pretty similar but I'm glad they've got new powers and stuff, I would've loved it if they had ranks and more depth like vampires (honestly, the vampires game pack felt more complete than this whole expansion for some reason imo) but ooohhh well, let's just enjoy what we did get.
My opinion?
Sims 3's mermaids were revolutionary since that had never been done before and they're pretty damn solid and they can compete with Island living's mermaids, I like details like their transformation, the way to take care of their needs, their interactions like calling a shark attack are pretty neat but I found myself liking Sims 3's ability to actually visit underwater, it's perfect for mermaids to explore and it's just beautiful, I found myself missing that a lot in Sims 4.
Sims 4's mermaids are way more customizable than Sims 3's, you have a few tails to choose from and the new Sulani world is gorgeous, their new powers are great additions, the mermaid lullabies, the dolphin, the ocean threats, etc. Those powers are my favorite part of these mermaids but I wish they would've given them more depth.
So I think a mix of both's best aspects would've been amazing but if I had to choose one I'd say Sims 4's, but when it comes to the whole expansion? Sims 3 has soooo much content in that pack! But that's a story for another video, I'll see if i can compare the sea/beach in my next video and maybe include another game so I hope to see you soon!

if we could merge sims 3 and 4 together my life is ccomplete
-
I have never payed sims 3 but everything in sims 4 just seems incomplete. It is like a school project you never actually finished but you had to turn in anyway.
-
TS3 wins simply on the fact that Mermaids have an entire underwater habitat to explore. PERIOD.
-
sims 4 is pretty, sims 3 is fun. I prefer fun because that's what I expect from playing game.
-
I feel like the animations and the way the mermaids look is better in the sims 4, but the sims 3's gameplay is a lot better!
-
The Sims 3: shark, kraken, and underwater world for mermaid. The Sims 4: dolphin, mass of eldricth fog, and rabit hole for everyone.
-
only now after taking a scuba diving course do I realise the sims in sims 3 use actual scuba diving communication hand movements when there diving and thats cool as heck
-
6:37 I like how after the girl fainted a man just suddenly laughed as if he was happy to see the girl fainted xD
-
If it weren't for mermaids, i won't be playing Island Living tbh.. like wth ! the ocean is basically a bigger pool with different interactions
-
Wow the only human on the world who dont have lags with isla paradiso 👏👏
-
I was disappointed with Mermaids in The Sims 4. I thought they were going to have a power system like Vampires or Celebrities. :(
-
Sims 3 for a lot of reasons. I loved the mermaid scales they had on their legs, there was a legit kraken, you could dive with your mermaid and find treasures. There was movable water boat houses!! Not to mention there was different islands you could unlock. It was also open world Idk i just feel like it had more detail. I remember being able to own a resort/hotel as well in sims 3.
-
The worst thing with ts4 dlcs is that they get boring after playing a few hours. Open world is actually what was the best, and I will always miss that. Becouse running everywhere or knocking on the ppl doors with your sim was the best. And the diving with ts4 really dissapointed me :c
-
Not going under water is a HUGE disappointment. I really hope they make an Atlantis game pack with an underwater world for mermaids only with buildable plots with underwater specific items. The mermaids feel slightly incomplete without the aquatic life.
-
I say Sims 3 solely because diving isn't a rabbit hole.
-
There is one thing we all can agree about the sims 3.... even though it is a laggy game at times, the expansion packs never felt incomplete, like Sims 4. Yeah, there may be a few missing things that we wish were in game but are not necessities. In sims 4, they’re always missing depth in their expansion packs which seems like a scam for paying $40 for.
-
can we talk about the fact that they made sixam for aliens (pretty useless but still) but nothing for mermaids? i just want at least one small underwater location for mermaids
-
1:44 Man:*Asks if mermaid* Girl:''Mermaid? What gave you that idea?'' wElL it's totally not because of that Oh so noticeable tail you have-
-
The Sims 3, they're more unique. Also for everyone saying the world is too laggy, you don't HAVE to play in Isla Paradiso to use the mermaid features, unlike The Sims 4 features aren't locked to the premade worlds.
