The Sims 3 is an era of 'The Sims' that people tend to look back on with rose-tinted glasses. I would still consider that game to be a certified banger, regardless of its bugs and glitches. However, the Wii port is.... let's just say, all the problems that the Sims 3 had on PC, amplify those x100. They made some interesting decisions when creating this port in 2010: does it still hold up today?

i'll never forget bringing this home from gamestop after saving up my money, just to watch my entire town die and turn into ghosts LOL
The last time I played the sims 4 i spent so long my sim and their cute tiny home, only for them to die in a fire the first time they made mac and cheese. Good times.
I swear mine didn’t have ghosts 😭
Omg I remember somehow all my sims died on the beach and I was the only one alive.
I am the 501th like
(And yes I ruined it on purpose 😈)
i remember when i was a kid i would collect every fucking gravestone i saw .
One time when I was playing this game my sim got pregnant but before she could deliver the baby she aged up into an elder and got stuck in pregnancy purgatory and would not die or give birth
That's a literal nightmare 😭
My God
That game was so stressful for that kind of reasons lol.
OH MY 😭💀💀
pregnancy gulag
As time goes by, the townies die and you end up having the town full of tombstones. At ground level you can collect them, but those in the water stay there forever.
Additionally, the game generates new ones, but never takes into account the number of empty houses, so there will be entire families living in community lots. I remember that one of my sims child became friends with a little girl, and wanting to see where she lived and search through the houses, I had to use the friendship filter in the map search engine. She lived in the gym, along with other sims who didn't have the same last name.
Sheesh Thai was the sims 3 I played it sucked and made my Wii cry in pain seriously
Wait that sounds like cool lore 😂
@@OpheliaFantasy Yes, but the Wii seemed to take its last breath.
when I tell you I had neighbors and they were always sitting outside. and one of them always had to pee but didn't go LMAOAO. or there was this little girl that literally just walked into my house. every. single. time.
lol the Sims 3 on the Wii was simply chaotic
The clothes aren't ugly, they're just 2009 fashion.
This!!
Omg everyone died where they landed in this game and I HAD to stop playing because of how creepy it got. It made my skin crawl. Gravestones everywhere literally. Especially around the restaurant patio.
Lol yass i remember walking on the sidewalk seeing grave stones!
omg it was so creepy but i loved it. super morbid and scary to feel so alone in that town and the only noise is the boomboxes blaring
She’s finally covering my first ever sims game ❤❤ I loved it but even as a kid I knew it was limited af compared to the computer version. It blew my mind when I was finally able to get the sims 3 on pc
Same!!!!! Me and my mom made ourselves and we would play it together all the time. Good times
I've never had an original experience in my life😅
I am the 350th like 😂
when i was a kid the first sims game i played for a long time was the sims castaway on psp, and when i eventually got the sims 3 on pc i had much the same experience, like mind. blown. Most of my time was spent fruitlessly trying to hunt down a money tree which my aunt said was in the game, but I couldnt find it anywhere. She forgot to mention that you had to grow it urself 💀
That embarrassing moment when Sims 3 for the Wii has more drama then sims 4
You can only play for 6 weeks before your game completely glitches out and you have to restart
Is this on xbox 2
@@Fu9280 it was I had it on Xbox 360 and wii . I’m not sure if it’s on the newer consoles tho
@@Fu9280 if you get it on Xbox you can’t roam free tho it’s loading screens if I remember correctly but it was fun
@@loveaffect Likely not, unless the console is backwards compatible
I played this game on the wii last year and I was actually so far in it, but one day it started to glitch out a lot so I wanted to restart my wii... well, the game just froze while saving and the save file got corrupted. man I was maaad lmao
i got this as a present when i got the wii but i had already played sims 3 on pc at that point, so boy my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined
omg i feel you 😅
Doris catching flame and passing away right in front of you then watching Tom, who you're flirting with, become an old man before your very eyes is so funny. This game is a gem
@@captaincharismachristian Your aversion to people different than you is pitiable
very cringe username and pfp
@@based980 Your aversion to people different than you is pitiable
@@TransIsBest copy and paste moment
@@based980 Well, if you're going to say the same idiotic thing, I don't see why I should change what I say 😉
The glitch at 25:33 was so annoying and unavoidable that the multiple cars *not* properly unloading in a save file could straight up cause corruption. I would lose so many save files to corruption when I played this on the Wii, and it took me looking through forums online to realize that the problem arises with Sims 3 on Wii never clearing its own gameplay cache when you play. What NPC cars are supposed to do is unload when they leave town through the tunnels, but they just...don't. They just pile more and more textures/car engine sound effects until your file inevitability corrupts itself when loading the save from the main menu.
Oh, and apparently, the developers never coded the NPC's to replenish their needs like the sims are supposed to do. That's why there's always so many graves in the streets; they typically die of starvation. Sometimes old age...but mostly starvation. 😅
I could not wait for you to do this video! The Sim 3 on the Wii was my first ever Sims game and it absolutely TRAUMATIZED ME. I completely abandoned the game after out of nowhere, everywhere I went with my sim, there was gravestones left and right 😭😭 ten year old little me tried to put every gravestone in the cemetery but once I got to beach there were so many just lined up against each other I got overwhelmed and never looked back.
Aww that sounds like a nightmare 😂😢 poor lil 10 year old you!
Lmao “im tired of this grandpa- well that’s too damn bad!!!”
I remwber that in this game if you had a baby you dont get told the gender when naming the baby so I had this buff manly man sim named Flora
LMFAOOO
my sister had a daughter named paco because she thought she was having another boy 😭
@@iluvbibianaI feel like Paco could be a girl’s name tbh
i used to choose unisex names because of this glitch
@@cheetopuff99_ yup, afyer the flora incident all my "new born" sims were Taylor/Charlie/Jamie
My older sister had the sims 3 for the Wii. When we where younger we constantly played it and I remember one thing abt it still haunts me to this day. One of the premade houses you have to choose from is built so the sims can't reach the toilet. Everytime when we would have them go to the bathroom they said:'Oh bibilay'. It's a 'sentence' that is forever burnt in my memory.
The fact that The Sims 3 on Wii is fully open world while Xbox 360 and PS3 Sims only allows you to explore a small chunk, and you have to select an arrow at the end of the road to go to the next area, which loads for a bit of time
And that’s why the Xbox/PS3 was superior over the Wii/PC/Mac version. In every version of the Sims 3, the open world is just falling apart 😭 Thankfully a bunch of Sims 3 mods help pick up the pieces but its just so troublesome.
And the 3DS version only had a community zone with places to hang out like the theater and gym. TS3 pets on the 3ds did improve things a bit more though, such as adding a clothing shop, and a few more community areas.
@@jackofallgamesYTnah PC Sims 3 was always peak
lol it should've been the other way round: PS360 open world version, Wii linear
@@codezero7981 The devs who worked on the Xbox/PS version chose to do closed world because of how unreliable the code was for the game. There’s no manual work arounds when the open world starts to break like you have on PC. It wasn’t down to a hardware limitation, but a choice.
I remember the build and buy was so bad in this game if the "Free Space" got full you could delete all the furniture and appliances and the free space would still be full and would never go down no matter what you do 😭
I was looking for this comment. Even if you moved the free space never went down. My saves always ended in a nice house with a single chair for furniture and the chair caught fire over and over again because the house was "too full" 😂
When the sims smiles in the corner it’s pure NIGHTMARE FUEL 😭
I WAS SO EXCITED TO GET THIS GAME AS A KID. Looking back on it, I'm amazed at how happy I was with it at the time given how buggy it is. I remember seeing the SAME townie dying on multiple saves in the same spot simply because they wouldn't stop skateboarding to get food. It was wild. That glitch where food would clip under your counters and rot was pretty annoying too. Fond memories overall, though.
as someone that started playing sims 3 on console this is so nostalgic. i will forever love sims 3 i dont think its ugly at all just outdated
I was a huge Sims 2 fan and when Sims 3 dropped I didn't get it just because of how unbearably ugly the Sims 3 Sims looked, so I don't think it's just due to the game being old
@@bubblegumplastic eh i mean i always thought sims 2 sims were ugly that’s a big reason why i never played. i think it’s just a matter of preference
@@bubblegumplastic it's just because sims 2 aesthetics are nostalgic now, whilst sims 3's are still cringe. 2009-2013 is still too close for it to be vintage like 2001-2008
Yasss finally!! This one was my favorite when younger, the beachy vibes and exploring all the locations in my tv was the coolest idea for me.
Buutttt the no change clothes, no babies, not knowing the sex of the baby before naming it, the fire thing that you cant decorate your home and if you move it will stay like this. OOO AND NO SIMS GENERATING AFTER YOU GROWING UP, it turns into a ghost city with lots of tombstones of dead people around
OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THEIR HUGE BOPS ON THIS GAMEEEE, their indie station is GOLD
I actually like how the sims 3 sims look & dress (very early aughts nostalgia) but my GOD...these versions of them are like clay dolls brought to life
Sims 3 is not early aughts, it’s late aughts and teens. Sims 1 is an early aughts game. Sims 2 is mid aughts
I was obsessed with this game when I was a teenager because I couldn't afford a computer so this was all I had ❤ I love it still
The multiplayer was SO fun!! Me and my sister would always play that! More than the actual game lol
SAME!! My brother and I played like over 100 hours of JUST the multiplayer and when I found out the multiplayer wasn’t on other versions of the game I was FLABBERGASTED
It’s been 10 years and I’m only now finding out that everyone had the same experience?? I thought my computer was just that bad.
i have vivid memories of starting this game over and over again because everyone in my city (even my own character) just kept dying. Either i was a stupid kid or my game was cursed lol
When I was younger I could never figure out the traits system, so my sims were always supervillains or whatever. I also remember getting soft locked because if I remember right, the neighbours kid was over watching tv, I couldn’t leave my house cuz the kid was there and I couldn’t leave them alone, I couldn’t talk to them to tell them to leave because they were watching tv, and they wouldn’t leave because they weren’t watching tv. I really really liked walking around as a sim though. Sometimes I wish you could do that in the pc games
The sims 4 kind of has that. It has a clunky 1st Person mode, not exactly the same but same concept.
im screaming bcs ‘buttery’ is the best way to describe how the sims look😭😭
i played this version of the sims 3 when I was really young, I genuinely thought it was a fever dream I had because I haven't seen the gameplay since! omg memory unlocked
Okay but the sims 3 on wii soundtrack is my absolute FAVORITE
im glad this was a common experience, i asked for the sims for my 12th birthday after reading all about the game and i was given the wii version. it was WILD but i remember the catfish cheat & how it was damn near impossible for my sims to get a good relationship with anyone else
hot take, i think the sims look better in the sims 3 than in the sims 4. a lot of people think they’re ugly but i prefer how realistic it looks over the sims 4’s smooth cartoony graphics
I have an insanely vivid memory of playing this as a kid, making my family and watching one of my parents burn to death while trying to cook. It literally traumatized me for years 💀
The discs for this game actually broke my wii! I had 2 and played it on one of them and suddenly none of my other discs were working in that one. As soon as I played it on the other one the discs stopped working in that too, I looked online years later and found many other people with the disc had the same problem
i liked being able to walk AND run in the game💀i would always make my sims walk because it wasn’t natural for them to run everywhere
When I was a child I used the fish fridge quality bug to make my sims rich whenever I got bored lol
love this references ommmggg so much memories
I did this so much after finding out about it that I forgot that they had an entire system for the jobs and to work 😂
Omg the nostalgia 🥺 this was my first sims game that I got when I was like 10. I remember finally getting it on the pc a few years later and having a hard time adjusting to not being able to freely run around. Also that fire hazard thing is weird as hell, luckily it never happened to me
I remember we had sims 2 pets for PlayStation and some grandparent must’ve bought us the bargain-bin Sims 3 Wii version thinking it’d be even better… not 5 min in I was like “this is not the sims I know and this is also barely playable” but I LOVED the premade *treehouse* in the game omg I still do! I wish someone would remake it for sims 4! And the multiplayer minigame randomly included is actually the most fun part of the disc lmao me and my siblings played that minigame probably a hundred times 😂 we were always trying to pick the options that would let us become ghosts and keep playing
I loved this game when I was a kid, I literally had so much fun! In my opinion, the gimmick that you control your sim like this is soooo fun and I was actually blown away when I played this the first time that you can just go anywhere in the town!
But! Yes, it sooo glitchy...I always had this glitch that my sims someday weren't able to use the fridge anymore and I also couldn't sell it, so I always ended up having like three fridges lol
Also, explanation for the town sims all diying: This is something I also only found out a few years ago, it's actually what the game tells you in the beginning, that you have like 50 days or so to complete your sims goal - so, as the 50 days come to an end, the town sims will slowly all die, until your time is also over, that's why you cant change the lifespan.
And let me tell you, when I played this as a child I was freaked out because I didn't know what was going on! It was literally so scary walking through the town and it was just empty with gravestones littering the streets! Such a weird thing to put into the game tbh lol
I HATE THE FRIDGE GLITCH!!! It was always because a plate would glitch into the fridge. Once that would happen it was done. Couldn’t be used, couldn’t be sold. It even happened in neighboring houses so the sims who occupied that house would die of starvation 😭
I loved the sims 3 on Wii so so so much, it was my first sims game and along with little big planet 1 it’s what got me into gaming. Love her.
Ah, yes. This Abomination! I didn't have a 360 or ps3 at the time, but I did have a wii, and I remember being excited that Sims 3.
I remember everything being buggy and slow, and I was so disappointed that I didn't know the gender of the 'baby' until after naming them and feeling even more disappointed when they appeared as a child.
I also remember coming across random headstones around town and taking them to the cemetery....
This was definitely a miss!
I soon got a 360 sorted and enjoyed that port.
Oh my GOD Doris bursting into flames absolutely SENT ME 🤣😭
this game fully broke my wii. Like it overheated, smoked and i was never able to play anything on it ever again. LOL
Liss + Sims is a video I'll always click
I used to love this game, I remember where tombstone appear all around the town
I remember in the older console Sims games, if you exceeded the fire code the house would just set on fire somewhere random.😂
i remembers as a kid playing the sims 2 and just aways watching sims 3 lets plays and i wanted it so badly and when i finally got it i was very underwhelmed, also what an era for cc
I fell out at the Doris scene. Ohhh The Sims
absolutely loving this style of videos, these are so fun to watch!
Liss I am LIVING for the sims series!!! 💗💗 another amazing videoooo!
A new Lissy video ooooooooomg! I just discovered you 2 weeks ago and I've binged almost all your videos. I love your take on most things and it's so fun to watch you! I especially liked your Graveyard Keeper video since I've loved that game for a long time but haven't played in a while. It rekindled my need to play lmao
Thank you for the time and effort you put in your videos, I watch them as I game and they keep me company :)
Also your current hairstyle is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! I love the short bangs, do you think you could do a little video about styling your hair? Thanks a bunch!
One of my favorite CZcams series that came up.this year. Keep posting Sims videos next year 💖
Liss plsss keep these types of vids coming!! Your commentary is 👌👌
Liss, I just discovered your channel a few days ago and have been binging your vids ever since! I absolutely love your presentation style! ♥
I remember really liking the music that played when you zoomed out and viewed the map 😂
Sims 3 on Wii was my first sims game ever nearly 15 years ago, it'll always hold a special place in my heart
i grew up on the sims 3 pets for ps3 and it was my FIRST sims game, it has cool extras and it has a lot of content from more than just base game and pets, weirdly. but i think you should do a playthrough of it! theres interesting lore, and cats who can laser eye ghosts!
This video is so nostalgic! I only play sims 4 but I used to play sims 3 in tbe wii
3 was my favorite one growin' up. Played it a ton in my late teens. Tried to redownload and play it after discovering your channel. It just refused to work. I'd start to make a house and then it'd just consistently crash.
It's not compatible with modern graphics cards, but there are instructions on how to get it running online! Just google "sims 3 graphicsrules files" and you'll find everything you need pretty fast. :)
there’s a patch you have to download to get it to work & you have to follow a guide to add your GPU to the code otherwise it won’t recognise it - but genuinely v worth it, i just love playing it & reliving my childhood lol! acottonsock has turorials for what i mentioned above & it’s a lifesaver ^
I just remember how glitchy this game was. I remember having an infinite fire that wouldn’t be put out, before my sim fell through the map. That essentially bricked my game, as every save I started from there was glitchy af.
The sims3 on wii traumatized me as a kid, my sims' kids kept getting taken away💀
Finally I was waiting for you to cover this one 😭😭
It's hilarious that "On Wii" sounds like "ennui"- a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction from a lack of excitement. It's fitting.
I'm a sims 3 lover, but the lack of supportive infrastructure and all of the bugs really puts a damper on things. I played it for years with minimal issues and now it runs so poorly on windows 11 that I just play modded sims 4 instead.
I mentioned that in the Sims 2 Pets video!
PLEASE revisit for the multiplayer! It's a text adventure game for some reason and I remember it had surprisingly funny writing and I played it a lot as a kid
im so hyped for this because since i was obsessed with sims as a child but i only had a WII this game was the only thing i had closest to the pc version😭😭.
6:16 that speed up noise yeeted me back 17 years to the Sims 2 Castaway on ps2 thank you
I remember playing sims 3 on pc growing up, I never heard of it being on wii till I went over my friends house and he showed me this game when we were in high school. I'll never forget all the cheats and his weird builds
I loved this game when I was younger, I know every song, sound, sim, job, and activity. I knew that town like I lived there, but I always thought the glitches in my game where only experienced by me, glad to see that is wasn't. I would never in life play it again, I'm a sims 4 PC girly now.
You can do better
Yess Harvest Moon is my childhood! Especially the psp harvest moon boy&girl. Looking forward for your videos!
I got so excited when you said you wanted to try harvest moon!!!!! It's my favorite video game series and I'd love to see you play all the different titles!!
Yesss omg I am looking forward to you playing the harvest moon games!! 🎉 especially harvest moon ds - it was my favorite game as a little kid 😍🥰
I'm a new subscriber on this channel, and I really love your the sims videos, its so good!!!
this was one of my first sim games and it was so chaotic lol. This game is so nostalgic to me and it’s so fkn funny to see it was the same for you, (the lag, the dead town, not many options for love interests,the build mode,townies dying while they’re out and about LMFAO) One save of mine had the whole beach full of tombstones it was pretty eerie lol. anyways great vid i always wanted someone to review this crazy ass game
You should absolutely play Harvest Moon games! They were my fave growing up and I’m playing the Wonderful Life remake now and it’s so nostalgic 💕🐮🍅
omg PLEASE do Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons. Your videos get me through my work day and that series is one of my hyperfixations lol
Oh the memories…like many I had this before I was able to get the PC version and I’ll never forget sending my kid to school slightly hungry only for them to STARVE TO DEATH in the middle of the school day…
As a Sims 3 PS3 player, I wish the work function (where you go to work and make them do what you want them to do) was a thing on it. That would've been so cool.
i love videos about old sims ports! you should totally do the sims 3 for the DS if you haven't already! if you don't have an old DS lying around, there's online emulators that are easy to find!
the Sims 3 for the DS was a really decent port it even had the open world aspect of the original (albeit reduced) it was still impressive nonetheless
I love you and your content, you're so relatable and pretty
i remember my sister going to the beach in the sims 3 everyday in sims game just to pick up the graves
I remember being obsessed with this game (I still have it lol) when I was around 11-12 cause my friend also had the game and showed me all of the exploits you could do in the game XD
Has anyone played The Sims for Nintendo DS??? literally so weird and a different game lol but nostalgic
the sims 3 wii was the first sims game i played. i loooooved it lol. there was no rosebud cheat or anything like that. the way you could cheat money was by buying this certain fish and selling it for a lot more lmaoo
Been waiting for this one!
The only computer we had was too old and only running the sims 1, but we had the wii with a ton of pirated games. The Sims 3 was one of them, and I remember trying to play ONCE before never playing again. Yes, there were only people at the beach. The Sims Castaway on wii, tho? Love it
"Excessively open world?" You mean the best part of the whole damn game?
this game feels so liminal aha,, you're right that normal sims 3 is NOT this empty (at least for me)
I can’t understand how people found the Sims 3 sims ugly. And the sims I created were beautiful.
This video was in my watch later so I woke up to it playing after I had a nap without pausing my video. At first before I actually looked at the screen I kept thinking you were saying "The sims 3 ennui" which sounds really silly but in my half asleep state I was like "oh that must be a pack I didn't know about"💀
"Cups of the rosé" SENT me 😂 absoutely love your vibe and commentary. idk how you didn't rage quit over this game tho
honestly with all the death, it's weirdly appropriate that it sounds like you were playing "Sims 3 Ennui"
this game was absolutely broken but i always loved the music in cas and build/buy!
this was my first sims game, I got it on the wii when I was like 10 and it got me into the whole sims franchise, had it on my ds and pc too
Played this as a kid! One day the beach was just covered in multiple tombstones. We took the game out and took it back to GameStop after that lol. It was too creepy for us.
Can't believe she spent her whole pregnancy carrying tons of fish around town
i used to play the sims 3 on the wii and the music absolutely took me BACK.
Gonna comment before finishing the video. I hope you shared about the co-op this game had, I was excited to play it with a friend, only to find out it’s a weird (but kinda fun) quiz thing? to see who has a more successful life.
The absurdity of this game mixed with your nonchalant and aloof reactions made this vid particularly hilarious lmao
this is Awesome... thank you for all the tips..
I loved this game, it BROKE my wii. i cheated, buying 99x fish and putting them in my fridge before selling them back, having infinite money. After I did this, my wii broke and wouldn't turn back on.
I've been a Sims fan my whole life. Great job on your videos. You're a great reviewer and not cringey like some of the others. Keep up the great work.
I just got sim ant. And sim Earth is on the way. Haven't played those since about '93
I've entertained the thought of trying to set up a virtual machine on my computer or something. Technology has changed to the point where the Windows versions of those games don't work on newer systems. Windows 10 and 11 just say, "this game is too old to be run". There's DOS emulators, but it's not quite the same. For one thing, the sounds in SimAnt for DOS are kind of crunchy. Dang it, I want decent midi music, and realistic barfing sounds! 😂
You don't have to use the shells, the game just really wants you to. I never used them in the like 10 years I played this game
