  • Why I like the sims 3: one of my sim could work out at the gym, while another is drinking at bar, while another could write a novel at home, while another could gardening. And I don't have to wait for the loading screen everytime I want to change the sim.
  • Sims 3 feels like a dynamic, living breathing world of sims Sims 4 feels like a Pixar dollhouse simulator

    The Sims 3 smooth patch mod has really transformed the game and got me back into playing regularly. No lagging, super quick loading times for saves and CAS, even with many EPs and CC installed. I highly recommend for anyone playing on Windows to give it a try!

    I love how you can walk around town with a baby in a stroller (with sims 3 generation) and then go for a jog around town, only to see a friend in the park and eat at the diner to end the day. All in one map, without loading screens and the world was alive.
  • I've tried and failed to get into 4. I can't stop playing 3. Only advantage of 4 that I can think of is that you're less likely to get addicted and thus ruin your life.

    I have literally two reasons why I like the sims 3: 1. they do what I tell them to do when I tell them to do it 2. the children come home and do their homework on their own

    I completely agree with the careers. In Sims 3 you had actual jobs. In Sims 4 it's like a weird power fantasy. Too many crazy jobs like spy and astronaut. Which sound cool but are really barebones jobs. To become a spy or astronaut in Sims 3 you had to work to the top of said careers.

    The thing that most annoys me about Sims 4 are the simmer influencers that think the game is perfect, just because EA pays their bills. But the game is a really expensive shame and they don't care.
  • I would say that the open world in the sims 3 always immersed me for hours as well and the sims 4 without an open world, feels like many steps back from its predecessor. I always enjoy open word games since I just get sucked into another dimension when I play the game and never get bored. In fact, when I play the sims 3, I play for hours and only stop when I fall asleep due to tiredness. In the sims 4, I sometimes play for 1 hour and then feel like I wasted my time and then not play again for a few months or a year.

    Remember when The Sims was a life simulator and not a playing with dolls simulator? Good times 😅

    My problem with The Sims 4 is how, no matter which traits you choose or lifestyle you take, all sims i make are all joyfull smiling sociable goofs, if i want to create a sim like Raven from Teen Titans or less jolly like myself, i can't. The sims from 4 seem to come from We Happy Few. In The Sims 3 there is more freedom to do a gloomy character or someone who is happy to explore alone.
  • Evil Sims in 3 were so much fun to play as. They did everything so...extra and often let out some of the best evil laughs I've ever heard. 🤣
  • The thing that I love about TS3 is that even after you max out a skill you still have challenges to work towards. And these challenges aren't just a badge saying you did it but it actually affects your sim.
  • @Rekowcski
    i give the Sims 3, five stars :_Sims3::_Sims3::_Sims3::_Sims3::_Sims3:
  • The problem with sims 4 cool skin tones is that they're more gray/purple, while real life cool toned skin is more pinkish
  • @vogtrina
    I'm 23 but played since I was 12 and still haven't found everything in sims 3 to do. Always will be my favorite.
  • @megsyworld
    Something I noticed during this video is the adverts for Sims 3 games actually show things you can do in the game. With Sims 4 adverts they’re pretty much all fabricated and you can’t do the things it shows.
  • @CarlDillynson
    What I strongly dislike in Sims 4 is if I have my sim, who lives in Willow Creek, go to a bar in Willow Creek it will be full of people from Del Sol Valley, Brindleton Bay, or even the worlds that look nothing like Willow Creek like Oasis Springs or Mt. Komerebi. Like, what are y’all doing here? How far did y’all have to travel to get to this lackluster bar with a completely different climate? It really breaks my immersion.
  • "so you can expect a bug-ridden, game-breaking update in about 2-4 business years." I'm simultaneously laughing/crying in truthfulness

    Sims 3 is so nostalgic and classic. I love the architecture and the freedom you have to customize as you wish. I love the story lines. I love that there are endless adventures to go on in the expansion packs. With Sims 4, I spend a majority of my time playing in custom content. Then I get bored and not play the game for months at a time.
