The great thing about open world is that if you only have one sim in your household you can see what’s happening in the town while they’re at work. I saw some of the funniest interactions between townies.
But the lots were always empty.i literally go in the sims 4 and the lots have my other household's there doing there own thing
@@holy9781 but not remembering doing their own thing lol
Right! The world actually felt ALIVE!
@@holy9781 Thats based on your CPU/Hard drive capabilities, not the game itself. Its built-in to how they optimized the game. If your lots were empty, you'd have to go and change your settings manually if you wanted more sims on lots. I never had this problem in the past, but once I switched computers it was a quick fix!
Sims 4 lots are indeed always filled.... With the same Sims over and over.
Something you didn't touch on that Sims 3 has WAY over Sims 4 are skills. In TS4 when you skill up all it really does is unlock more things in that skill. In TS3 it unlocked all kinds of cool things like, if you cooked enough dishes, everything you make cooks faster. Or if you made enough sculptures, then your ice sculptures would never melt. Blow up enough stuff and you'd could dig through scrap piles faster. You'd unlock things like book signings at the bookstore with your writing got high enough, playing gigs at the theater with your guitar skill, or planting weird things like meat with a high enough gardening skill. It gave you more reasons to raise your skill than just the boring reason of just raising a skill.
My favorite skill leveling up was athletic. I used to have my sims just run around the neighborhood all day and see how fast I can get to lvl 10! Honestly TS3 was better because of the open neighborhood concept, & I wish TS4 kept the same energy
@@tendaoxtails Yes! I used to run from home to Simhenge, and then all the way back down to beach in front of that house on the cliff over and over again to get the cardio athletic requirement. I loved being able to actually follow my Sim, and be able to stop if there was a cool butterfly or collectable I spotted along the way.
@@tendaoxtails Remember the unicorns?! I loved them so much lol.
@@RedRoseSeptember22 Another great use of open world - you could watch the map for the rainbow while still doing whatever you needed to do.
Spot on!
if i remember correctly, you actually can have multiple outfits in the Sims 3, but you have to add them later through a dresser
correct me if i'm wrong
You are right.
right
You're right - you can add two additional of each kind (so three total formal and three total athletic, etc.) using the dresser in game.
Yes correct
Omg I didn't know that 😨😨😨
Gods I miss all the options. Want to play with vampires turned off and werewolves turned on? Sure! Want to lock the moon into almost full at all times so your fairies are happy but zombies never rip up your garden? Go for it! 2 day grow up for babies and toddlers and right into a 2000 day lifespan? You do you fam. Really short winter and really long spring? Of course!
Meanwhile TS4 is like 'you'll play the way we fecking say you'll play and you'll like it'.
Perfectly described it
Can you tell me where I can disable the moon because of the werewolf expansion? I hate it because my screen turns green
OMG yes I am so annoyed you can't change the climate in sims 4! I don't want "cold" weather in a tropical world...
@@diananeves8018 Sorry, no idea. Nothing in that pack appealed to me so I didn't get it. I'm not sure if that's an option or not, but if it is, there should be a tab in your option for different packs, and the ability would be there if they have it.
😂😂😂very true
I purely play TS4 for how modern it is and it’s build/buy mode. TS3 and TS2 are the games I play when I actually want to play a real life simulator.
Yep, I decided gameplay was worth more than build/buy/cas items and pretty graphics and went back to Sims 2. I'm done with Sims 4. Also, very surprised that there are creators still doing cc and mods for the Sims 2.
Real life?in the sims 2 and 3 l (at least 2) when u move worlds u lose all relationships with those sims...not really a real life simulation
I like sims 4 for its cas as it has the best looking sims in my opinion and I love making sims (or my ocs lol) I like 2 and 3 for the gameplay
@@Sirens_kai same I love sims 3 but after a while will be inspired to make a certain sim and go back to 4 for the looks but instantly bored when I enter the game. Can only have one at a time since my computer doesn’t have space for both
@@holy9781 In The Sims 3 that issue can easily be fixed with mods so it's not really an issue.
The world's in Sims 3 are supposed to be a whole package which means you don't need to jump in-between small worlds and loading screens all the time. The towns will age as you play and people will grow up, get married, have children, get new jobs and promotions, and the best part is that you can go around watching people living out their own unique lives and experience the world change and flourish. That sounds like a real life simulation
I loved in the Sims 3 if you cheated on your partner around someone your partner knows or friends with they will tell your partner. So as soon as you come into contact with them or return home your partner will have the cheated on moodlet and you would receive the caught cheating moodlet. Such a small feature but it is so realistic that you couldn't cheat on your partner around family or friends. In the Sims 4 you get a warning from your friends but your partner doesn't find out unless they catch you in the act.
Show less
NO LIE! I cheated on my sims and she came home, took the kid and i hadda pay alimony! Like bruh come on! lol
omg I am a TS4 player and on that huge ts3 sale where you could buy every pack for €110 in total
I bought it and first of all amazing but I accidentally cheated because I romanced one sim but kinda just left him and dated another guy but we were never official so I suddenly got the cheater reputation 😭
I think the main issue with The Sims 3 performance is it was just a bit ahead of its time. If The Sims 3 was written in 64 bit and was able to utilize more system resources, I don't think it would be as plagued as the vanilla experience is today. To me, The Sims 4 should have been The Sims 3, and 3 should have been 4. That being said, I think 4 following up The Sims 2 would still be criticized, but probably less so. For me, The Sims 4 absolutely gutted all the revolutionary features 3 introduced, and in my mind will always be inferior. Plus it has the issues of "gray happiness". Everything is almost always positive to the point the gameplay is bland.
Im pretty sure the sims 4 was made with a mobile game engine which is why there's a lot of bugs and programming challenges for the sim gurus
You hit the nail on the head. The sims 3 engine was holding on for dear life back then. Easily the best in the series and a wonderful game.
Yes I agree, the Sims 4 suffers a lot from actually too much positivity. I get it because it's a "family friendly" game and all that, but sometimes it just makes no sense. I created a Sim with the mean, erratic, and evil traits and still struggled to get him to actually be all that mean to anyone. He'd just go back to default friendly interactions and sometimes he'd get embarrassed after I made him insult someone?? Lmao
@@StarryNightxx 🤣🤣🤣
I think if Sims 4 was a follow up to SIms 2, there wouldn't have been a next one.
We went backwards with the SIms 4. And EA said it was to stop lag and so less powerful pcs could run it which is just a lie. The lag and problems of sims 3 were easily fixed with a mod because the dev team wouldn't do it themselves and Sims 4 barely runs on a powerful computer.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Not to mention the immense lag on consoles 😭
They did that, but with all the dlc, it has now the same problem as the sims 3 🗿
but there is still lag and freezing in sims 4..no matter what computer i use
An open world Sims game that's even more complex and in-depth than The Sims 3 is 100% feasible today, provided they work with a competent modern engine instead of whatever clusterfuck they used for TS4
One of the most unpopular opinions or underrepresented opinions is that Sims 3 gameplay is better the larger your household gets. It's more immersive due to the open world. You don't have to wait between load screens for access to multiple locations and with different sims. I find that the more interactive features added to the Sims 4 the less that you can actually use them. For example if you decide to interactive with your teens in high school you can't use the home decorator career as thoroughly. If you are trying to level up a skill or complete a task at home you can't do that as seamlessly when participating in an interactive career. It's just so annoying. Even if the Sims 4 made the individual neighborhoods open world it would be better.
You've summed up why open world's are superior PERFECTLY! 👏🏾
Youre so right, I remember back in the day I wished to play with all the generations and maxed out households in the sims 3, meanwhile now its a bother to have more than even twp sims in the sims 4
YES! I remember having 1 adult go the spa, all the kids either in the park or the pool, another sim building a skill, all while horse was running about the place. Now it's overwhelming having more than 3 sims because they're all always in the same place
It's the immersion breaking or heck, even gameplay breaking aspect of Sims 4 that kills it for me. Like I leave some people at the house while the Sim I'm playing with goes off somewhere, and when I come back, they're just standing around doing nothing? Sims 3 WOULD NEVER treat us so badly
I always get frustrated with Sims 4 when I start getting a bigger family because I like to micromanage every sim at all times, but if one sim needs to go to another lot, I either have to bring the entire family or allow the game to tank the rest of my sims needs with it's "automation" which I can't stand.
sims 3 take a LOT of work to not crash and lag but once you do the tweaks it’s SO worth it !! I have tons of new sliders so my sims are gorgeous and unique, they’re different sizes, some look like models even, my town is sooo lively with the help of NRAAS mods, my game is super smooth and everyone in town manage to find a way to make lot of money and get tons of opportunities. sims 3 is on another level. I believe some modders are still trying to improve the smoothness even more (lazy duchess is actually working on improving the performance) sim 3 is really my dream game !! i wish they released the 64 bits version to help improve performance even more.
I have mac and the 64-bit versions were released for us. Im surprised they havent done it for windows
how can i get it if i have a mac and is it a huge space taker/ lags your computer as a whole? i use it for college but i really want to get it bc i want to get more into game play which i just can’t seem to do in the sims 4
I play the Sims 3 on an old ass laptop and I have zero issues.
@@Carolina-rd3gh what laptop do you have? I have a 6 years old laptop but even with nraas and smooth patch the game still lags like crazy
@@rarebreednoel i recommend acottonsocks' ultimate sims 3 fix guide, it's a bit complicated but she shows you how to do everything in the video and explains it very well.
I absolutely love The Sims 3. It came out when I was nine and I was gifted that game for my 10th birthday. That’s how my sims obsession started 😂
I had this with the launch of the Sims. Was 10 years old when it dropped and we were obseeeeessed :D
I actually begin with The Sims 1, but The Sims 3 is my favorite game in the series. It just has so many features, and alot of stuff to do.
I also got Sims 3 on m 10th birthday. It wasn't my first, I already played Sims 1 before, but man, it was such a thing to me in that time. :D
OMG sameeee
Haha same! I was about the same age when I got the base game (which was more fun on its own compared to all of the DLCs for The Sims 4 combined).
I used to stay up 24 hours playing the sims 3 as a kid and can really say I never got bored with the game. I'm not a builder, I'm a gameplay type of gal and each expansion pack delivered immensely on this front. I played the sims 3 a couple of months ago and still was able to pull a weekend all-nighter at my tender age of 22. With ts4, the game play gets boring. I have to make the game fun by teaching myself how to build or following challenges or downloading mods. The only reason I don't play the sims 3 now is because I don't want to overload my computer bc I have all the expansions and some game packs for both games plus the sims medieval (best game ever)
I agree !!!!
The sims medieval is so fun! Unfortunately, I had ALL the sims 3 games on CD, got a new computer with no CD drive or enough space (Apple Mac) and couldn’t find a way to redownload them and now I don’t have any of the games anymore. I’m so upset.
My first sims game was The Sims 2, which I loved a lot too, but The Sims 3 is definitely where my love for the game really and truly started. Graphics and build/buy aside, Sims 3 will always be the best for me. The gameplay was top notch, hands down.
100%
I agree with this. Both Sims 2 & 3 are great, but I played the Sims 3 way more and really loved it.
the answer is yes.
i have all ever existing mods made to make sims 3 work lag free etc and my computer is working absolutely perfect and A LOT more silent than when playing sims 4 which is also lagging af for me even with mods making it work better,
i love this game more than anything lol
Can confirm. I followed an optimization guile on Steam and my laptop is way more chill with the sims 3 than sims, the game also runs quite smooth, even though I have all DLC activated and 20 GBs of mods and CC installed.
Could you share what these modes are? I literally stopped playing the sims 3 because it kept crashing or just being too slow but I loooved the gameplay and everything about it.
@@k.h.8440 Sure! AlpaCakeGames, acottonsock and Rekowcski have videos about it on their channels and I was doing exactly what they are showing so check it out!! Everyone deserves a lag free sims 3 experience 🙏❤️
@jfgjgy gyjg you can buy it on steam/origin (you can wait for sale if it costs too much) but personally i bought mine from other people (because with the sims 3 it works when you have like "used" game), and with mods i recommend you to watch videos of these people which i mentioned in my previous comment, have fun!!
i just wish they had mods to make it look like it wasn't made in a toaster. The environment and objects are fine but the sims look so bad
i play older sims games compared to sims 4 and sims 3 is my absolute favorite! Just last night i was on it for 4 hours and it was so funnn. so superior and creative and i felt like i could do so much more and wasn’t limited! i’ve been playing TS3 since i was little and there’s still so much i haven’t explored!
What is your favorite packs of Sims 3 that has alot of gameplay? For someone who does not want to have family gameplay.
@@caroline.3885 it all comes down to preferences of course. But since we’re not talking about family gameplay, i really enjoy Ambitions, World Adventures, Late Night, and University Life. These can give you a lot of solid gameplay in different ways. And quite filling gameplay as well. I really love the tattoo profession in Ambitions, and i really love how EA took time in Word Adventures to recreate Landmarks in France, Egypt, And China. Also, in my opinion Late Night is a must if you’re into city gameplay. It’s also a really good pack for CAS in my opinion if you don’t use CC.
I literally lose track of time while playing the Sims 3. The Sims 4, on the other hand, I lose interest easily and because of the loading screens, my sims just stay at home...
I swear I’m pretty sure you can have multiple outfits in the sims 3. I think you have to choose plan an outfit on a dresser in live mode.
It does
Yes
I tried that in the Sims 4 yesterday and was really surprised that you can't have multiple outfits. There was NO reason to cut that option when they made TS4.
@@noelle2661 You can plan 5 outfits per season in sims 4 dear
*Sims3* will forever be superior! I just wish it had updated graphics and less lag!
There are mods that you can download that reduce lag and improve graphics. They are soo worth it
@@Mad.106This! Nraas mods improve performance
I do love the sims 3 and I do not understand how they did not make the sims 4 open world, yes I do understand it is made for low end pc's but there is SOO MUCH more to do in the sims 3 gameplay wise. I also do really like the cheating system in the sims 3 like whenever you have 2 relationships at the time you actually have a hard time keeping it secret. And I think there is mods to get some better performance, but even the cats and dogs pack like why the heck did they not add horses... They leave so much out in the sims 4 its so sad.. And please do not forget, it is so much older and if you compare the two games with what they knew back then and what possibilities we see in games nowadays, I think EA is doing a really bad job on the sims 4 😂
Also you can turn off the automatic chimney just like the railings of stairs
you know what, i'd even be fine with just open neighbourhoods so i can visit next door without having to go through a loading screen.
Sims 4 was originally intended to be a social multiplayer game, look up Project Olympus. That's why it was lacking so much when it launched and why it has so many issues because the foundation it was built on was not meant for a single player game of its scale. It also doesn't help that they keep on adding DLC that makes it increasingly more unstable.
Also, with the current technology, pretty sure they could have less lag with open world than in 2009 anyway.
it would be cool if there was an option on the game whether you can have open world or not because it would be accommodating lower end pcs and consoles and also people who will be able to use open world without lagging.
@@d.rceymm That´s actually a really good idea!
I played the sims 3 on a laptop over a decade ago and the open world worked just fine. It wasn’t super laggy and it was so much fun to play. I was about to buy the sims 4 recently, but then all the drama that has been going on. Also I prefer the sims 3 build/buy. I want to be able to customize all my colours, thank you. 🧐
Colors? COLORS? You want to customize your colors and that's the reason you won't play Sims 4? That is the number 1 dumbest reason to date for reasons why Sims 4 sucks.
Just lame.
@@kiillabytez why are you so mad
@@faebri4148 Really? A color wheel. It's like people complained about the lack of a transit system in CP2k77. The developer gave us one, but it ended up being a waste of time because you couldn't move around while on the train and being they are so slow, and combined with the loading screens, fast traveling is actually faster.
So, careful what you ask for, you could just ruin a game for a stupid reason.
@@faebri4148 It's probably your mods, and don't tell me you're of the 1% that doesn't use mods.
My copy plays fine with only about a dozen or so mods, so it's definitely your mods.
@@faebri4148 Just because you hate coconut cream pie doesn't mean everyone else has to as well.
My old 13 y/o Samsung can run sims 3 fairly well (with all EPs installed), I was fairly tedious about my laptops maintenance as well. I hate the fact that people will neglect their laptops and then get mad when they can’t run games properly.
With that, the sims 4 actually became pretty laggy with my Samsung no matter how well I would maintenance it. I have the whole collection and actually ended up getting a new laptop just to be able to run sims. So at the end of the day people with lower end laptops will still lose because the sheer number of sims 4 packs at this point probably equates to at least 3/4 of the content that sims 3 has.
Newer PCs actually have more of an issue running sims 3 than old ones because the sims 3 is based on 32 bit architecture while modern PCs/macs use 64, causing massive incompatibility issues due to poor programming on EA's part even though 64 is meant to be backwards compatible. It's not really an issue of maintenance.
64 bit laptops almost always require mods to run the sims 3 properly now.
@@ashs243 I also have an MSI laptop that’s barely a year and half old and still haven’t experienced any of the claims that people try to say about the sims 3. Even years and years ago when I would run it on my desktop, I just never had issues. The only reason why I could suspect people have issues on new PCs is the amount of bloatware that comes with them. I just believe there’s a lot more factors involved other than allegedly “poor optimization” of the sims 3 like the community likes to claim.
I never needed mods to run the sims 3 on my Samsung or my newest one - both are 64 bit. Highly doubt that’s coincidence. I’m not a professional PC tech but I know a thing or 2 like understanding your PC specs, checking your task manager to see what may be causing high CPU usage and adjust accordingly, being mindful of the amount background apps you have active on startup and running in the background. Making sure you’re keeping you PC or laptop as dust free as possible with proper ventilation and making sure you’re not neglecting your updates - just to name a few.
Idk man, I think 3 has more content in all their EPs than 4 does in all of theirs, it's just 4 releases half asked EPs on a more frequent level for the money so it just looks like you get more but when it comes to playability and features you are absolutely getting less bang for your bucks
Well, I still play Sims 3 (and Sims 2) while I haven't bothered touching Sims 4 in years so Sims 3 wins for me too. It's my favorite one. I love the personalities in Sims 3, the creative freedom, the gameplay, and the fewer loading screens.
Things going on in some of my Sims 3 Game Saves right now:
Save 1: My surly werewolf teen formed a rock band with her sister, her imaginary friend turned real and Mortimer Goth. Soon they will have Bridgeport by the throat.
Save 2: Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney Todd are running a questionable pie shoppe in Midnight Hollow where the townies sometimes go missing...
Save 3: My homesteader newlyweds are trying to get their ranch off the ground by breeding and racing their horses while also selling their surplus produce at the local Farmers Market.
Save 4: Replicant Pris is amassing an army of humanoid Simbots in Oasis Landing to overthrow Humanity and usher in a dystopian future.
Save 5: My Vampire Coven is irreverently whiling away the millennium under the Aurora Skies.
Save 6: My Tomb Raider is diligently working her way through the catacombs and dungeons of Eygpt, France and China, amassing a family fortune along the way.
Save 7: My Beach Bum is currently living off the land in Sunlit Tides and drifting from day to day and adventure to adventure.
Save 8: The current heir of my Legacy Family, which I have been playing since The Sims 3 launched, is about to start the next generation with her wife.
And I have many, many more. For me, The Sims 4 could never.
Short answer: Yes. We love The Sims 3.
Sims 3 is the best gameplay and it packs gave way more and Sims 4 is just pretty aesthetics, lack in gameplay and I had high hopes for S4 but just got fooled in the end. I want in depth gameplay not pretty graphics and now its so buggy, glitched you cant even play it. I prefer the Sims 3 and still play it daily and that's my honest opinion.
S4 still feels like a scam
The sims 3's clothing is literally traumatizing, thank God for custom content
Also, you can get an extra trait if your sim goes to university (if you have the university expansion pack)
The sims 3 is the superior sims game, ignoring the clothes(but not the color wheel)
University actually gave 2 extra traits, one for the degree and one for max rank in one of the social groups( jocks, nerds or rebels).
@@evilwhitecat9 Actually you only have to get to level 8 with a social group to get the extra trait - max level 10 opens up a specialized career for that social group (art appraiser for rebels, video game maker for nerds, and some kind of sports guru for jocks I think? (Have never managed to get a max level jock 😅)
@@Ikwigsjoyful ahh thank you, I've forgotten so many details! I bought the game before I had a computer that could handle it, and now I can't find the discs! So sad!
Honestly you can work withstore and EP clothing and live without tons of cc, just play with textures. I made one outfit for my sim that i liked very much and actually bought similar clothes lol
i always saved my color swatches i wanted to use over and over so it was really easy to built in sims 3 for me . and you actually can have more outfits in sims3 but you create them in the live mode . ♥
Unlike you, I have only played Sims4 so far. Because I was so bored with it, I bought Sims 3 and all the expansions a few days ago and I am so overwhelmed. I had no idea HOW good a Sims game could actually be. Sims 4 comes across nicer, but it's actually dressing dolls and building pretty houses. That's fun too, but that's what Barbie and Lego are for. Just that you can go shopping with a Sim (by car) and at the same time play the Sim who stays at home. I didn't get that at first. It's like playing in a future kind of Sims Game with outdated graphics. And you can play animals, babies are real Sims, there are eyelashes and I can invest capitalistically and not have to do a stupid job. I love it.
Good for you. Have you purchased Island living where you can live in a houseboat that's even drivable or purchased Into the Future where you can travel to the Future and meet and interact with your future Sims family members. It such a cool concept, where you can ride hoover boards, interact with robots, gives me Back to the Future 2 vibes.
@@lirpa2300 Yes, I bought them all (but haven't tried them yet, I've only been playing a few days and there's so much waiting for me 🤩) - and I love Into the Future, which I played as soon as I installed it. I love packs like this, in Sims 4 I loved Stranger Ville the most.
Calling the sims 3 a future kind of sims game with dated graphics is so funny to me lol. I love the Sims 3. I've had the complete collection for probably 10 years now and there are still features I'm discovering/haven't tried yet. If you haven't yet you should look into getting some custom content! at the very least some CC skin. Makes the sims MUCH nicer looking. Also there are some very good performance mods that really help the game. Look up nraas mods. Anything I could ever want to do in the game I can with these mods. Makes me happy to see people still appreciating the game. It holds a special place in my heart.
You really don't know HOW to play Sims 4 is why you think it's building and playing with dolls. Maybe you read someone else write it and thought it would be cool to say the same.
Really, you don't know what you're doing in the game.
99 traits with all packs (with like 90% being actually impactful on your sim, with traits like loves the cold, supernatural fan being very shallow and limited to mostly just moodlets).
There was a hidden one that you needed to use mods to unlock and it was one of my favorites: ”Stupid” bringing the total up to 100 traits!
I loved stupid sims cause as a kid it was almost impossible to finish homework without parentsl help which is realistic for a kid. So if the parents didnt have time to help they always had poor grades.
How did you get that trait??
I think some of my sim kids secretly had that trait lmfao
Wait there’s secret traits??? Where did you download the mod?
@@Sirens_kai not really secret but traits that were scrapped (usually part of another trait eventually but left inside the code). Stupid is the one that was basically complete and wasnt brought into another trait, but its assumed they scrapped it for absent minded but they do different things so not 100% confirmed.
@@Oneasianpersuasion you need a core mld which unlocks it. I use awesomemod, but look into what core mods do before installing.
i honestly really prefer the slider system; i like that there's no guesswork, it tells you exactly what manipulation you can do, and if you installed modded ones for extra sliders it was easy to find them. i can never remember where half of the points are on the sims 4 sims, less so when it's a direction-specific slider. it's why im so excited for what paralives are doing with their character creator, because their sliders look like a really elegant mid-point between sliders and direct body manipulation that i hope will be enjoyed by all of us regardless of which sims 3/sims 4 system we preferred
Create A Style is much more powerful than you let on. You can select parts of a pattern, and replace them with a new pattern. For example, imagine a wall with 6 inch tile squares in a checkerboard, and a 2 foot horizontal strip at the top. You can turn one of the two checkerboard pieces into a small mosaic and the other into a carved wood pattern, then change the colors in each of those sub-patterns to whatever you wanted. Then you could do that again to that strip across the top. And you can do that for EVERY item (or close enough) in the game. For beds, you could do the sheets and the blankets, the headboard and the frame, etc...
Also, you didn't talk about the life stages. Teenagers needed to learn how to drive. They could ask an adult, and they would drive around town, starting very slowly, stopping and starting. After a few sessions, they'd be driving smoothly (level 3 IIRC) and be able to drive on their own. They could also do things like go to prom.
World Adventures (the first expansion) let you vacation in China, France, or Egypt. You do quest type things for the locals to earn reputation to upgrade your visa so you could stay longer. There were tombs to explore, puzzles to solve, skills to learn, and once you maxed your visa you could even buy houses/lots to build a vacation home.
Honestly, the Sims 3 Store isn't as bad as people make it out (IMHO of course). I bought loads of venues, for example. Each is basically a prebuilt lot, but they had special items with lots of gameplay interactions, and you could use all the pieces in your own builds. There's one where you can build a working rollercoaster, there's a renaissance faire with working attractions, a bakery and bistro you can run as a business putting your items up for sale. Yes, if you tried to buy every item in the store it would be exorbitantly expensive, but no one was expected to do that. You watched the deals (which still run to this day) and bought the items you wanted for your style of gameplay..
I still play the Sims 3. The real reason I didn't switch was I had simply put too much money into the Sims 3 to stop playing it and move on. And the Sims 4 at launch was such a lackluster title missing so many basic features. Now, for me to get a Sims 4 game to the point my Sims 3 game is, I'd have to spend at least $500, assuming I got everything on sale.
Also - for anyone wanting to play Sims 3 - you NEED to look at the NRAAS mod suite. It adds so much more to the game, and is entirely modular and customizable, so you can use exactly the features you want, and change them on the fly. There are some great guides on YT here going over pretty much the whole suite (and Story Progression in particular).
Sims 5 just needs to be the love child of Sims 3 & 4. There’s great things in both games and features that they both lack. Sims 3 felt more like an actual life simulator while Sims 4 feels more like a building simulator. They really need to find a happy middle ground between both games.
The Sims 2 was better than 4.
"Sims 3 felt more like an actual life simulator while " How? Especially coming from Sims 2, the Sims just felt dead. I'd always have to basically force my families to interact with each other. Only in Sims 3 do they sit there at the same table silently shovelling food in their mouths. Not in 2 and not in 4. So much from Sims 2 was not implemented in either Sims 3 or Sims 4, btw. One Sim could be in love with another while Sim 2 barely liked that Sim, the genetics were better aaand so on.
Sims 3 also feels more limited if you don't want it to be a modern day simulator exactly BECAUSE of the open world that relies on cars. Now 4 is also annoying because of the phones, but I found mods to get rid of them. I'd imagine that getting rid of the cars to play, say, a medieval world, would be much trickier, especially since your inactive Sims keep acquiring Lemons and Jalopies. Sims 2? You can do anything you want. Just walk to community lot if you don't want cars. No cell phones unless you buy one for your Sim. I'd always go back to it because I could play in so many ways the game was never intended to be played in. Yes, sometimes I'd need mods, but they'd never be as complicated/complex as the Sims 3 mods and also don't need constant updating like the Sims 4 ones.
@@mchobbit2951 Well, for me personally, Sims 3 feels more like an actual life simulator because the personalities of the sims have more depth and impact on interactions and gameplay; many of the Sims 3 sims feel like people I could actually meet in the real world, and I get very attached to them. The personality system in Sims 2, on the other hand, feels very stilted: 10 traits (5 opposing 5) and you can only get bits and pieces of them to make up a whole person? Still 100% better than the empty, soulless sims of Sims 4, though! But I can understand why some people still love Sims 2 and feel that it was the best of the franchise: it incorporated a lot of lore, and there were a lot of sweet or humorous bits (like the cut scenes) that made it very lively. But for what I'm looking for in a life sim, Sims 3 works better. (For the record, I only need three mods to get Sims 3 to function beautifully on my system; of course, I haven't managed to get Sims 4 to happily work on it without lags and freezes with any mods, so I just gave up on that! And the only mod I've ever used for Sims 2 is the cake mod, because I don't like the way aging works in Sims 2 so I just keep it turned off.)
@@mchobbit2951 Omg yes! I always hear people say that TS3 sims were more complex than TS4 but like where. I feel like all of TS3 sims were acting the same regardless of their traits. I really dislike socializing in this game for this exact reason, friends don't feel lke friends, just a way to get social need up. It is weird and annoying at times when active sims start doing push ups in the middle of the bar in TS4 but at least their personality shows. In TS3 athletic sims could not exercize for their entire life and be fine. As someone who started playing TS4 only last year I think a lot of people forgot what TS3 was actualy like. Yes it had a lot more stuff for sims to do, skills had a lot more to them and many other things, but personalities is not one of them.
@@user-ni9si2nf7o I disagree. It really depends on what traits you have on your sim, but mine act different from each other. If you add only one negative trait, you won't really see a huge difference. I suggest adding 2-3 negative traits to have the sims actually act unique. In The Sims 3, you can have an absolute maximum of 7 traits for a single sim, as opposed to 3 in The Sims 4.
(I never had a huge issue with performance in The Sims 3, so I might be a bit biased here) The open world and more lots per world really make The Sims 3 better. The Sims 4 makes you go through a loading screen to go anywhere substantial, and the sims just vanish off the lot when they leave it.
Theoretically, I would say I prefer 3. I love the convenience of the open world, and it has more edge than 4. It also runs very smoothly on my laptop (although I'll admit I haven't added cc yet nor any expansions beyond what was included in the Origin starter pack). It's just a more charming game...
And yet I save and quit after 40 minutes yet with the sims 4 I'm still there at 3am.
Edit: I made this comment because I was still getting used to the Sims 3 and at the time I wasn't sure how to apply my play style to the game (but I worked it out now). Basically, I consider myself a "cinematic universe player" (basically where I make several house holds in the same save file and at some points their story likes will connect or overlap or whatever). Since I was playing with the same household on 3 for AGES I just left the game sooner than in 4. I still like 4 a lot, it's where my "classic" Sims are and it's the game some of my favourite CZcams series used. However I agree that the Sims 3 is generally superior.
What do you mean in the end part?
@@Jaidee_Gaming I just mean I find 4 more addictive than 3 for whatever reason
@@styxthistle497 I always quit playing the sims 4 after half an hour because there is so little to do :/
For me, I play the Sims 4 for 30 min and then I’m done.
I’m the opposite. I can’t stay playing ts4 for long when in live mode, when you have more than one sim in ts3 you lose track of time, especially when you have a few expansions including generations
Yes. Sims 3 is vastly superior. Don't need a loading screen to cross the street.
🤣
God I miss the sims 3. I used to get so excited every time a new pack came out because they were huge and added so much! If I had a PC that could run it without destroying itself (and hadn't already spent so much money on S4) I'd pick it back up in a heartbeat
I actually agree with how create-a-style can be a double-edged sword depending on your style! I'm a terrible builder/sim-maker, and personally get overwhelmed by the all the creative freedom in TS3, and so prefer 'shopping' through other people's great designs. The gallery feature is definitely my favourite thing about TS4, although sadly the lack of gameplay and exploration really does compromise quite a lot compared to TS2 and TS3 :(
Watch for Steam sales for TS3. I got the entire collection for $60 a while back! I had Some of it already but it was cheaper to start over in Steam than buy packs in Origin.
I play The Sims 3 on a laptop, but I still prefer open world(and a little bit of lag) over loading screens that take forever to load
Honestly I think the facial customization is about the same in the sims 4, it's just that you can't find the controls as easily. it's harder because you have to grab the right thing and pull it the right direction and none of it labeled so you just have to remember that it's there on your own. So many controls you might forget some of them exist, I find myself waving my mouse over the whole face every time I make a new sim so I don't miss anything.
I got back into Sims 3 today, haven't played since 2017, so far I'm amazed with how much the Sims have to do with activities and I don't have all the DLCs like I do for Sims 4, I feel like I've missed a lot of fun all these years.
I only play Sims 3, I refuse to play Sims 4. I want a life simulator I can create wacky stories in, not a house designer program
I personally prefer the way Sims 3 does the cooking skill. I wish we had recipe books in the Sims 4 so we could choose which meals the sims know how to cook, without knowing ALL of the recipes or having to go eat them in different locations.
Just watching this makes me want to play the sims 3 haha xD I actually haven't touched the sims 4 in months after hearing that there was a bug that ages the sims up immediately. But I know there are still plenty of things I haven't experienced in the sims 3. One of my favorite parts about the sims 3 was real estates, and I actually really liked the home daycare business (despite the fact that mines was shut down after my sim's cat was taken away for having low social needs for multiple consecutive days....I had like three other cats and this cat in particular always had low needs...lol).
In regards to real estates, it took a lot of money to actually purchase a business, but the passive income was nice. I also liked that once you owned a business there were little objective that could be done in order to upgrade it (or something like this, I don't quite recall). It would have been cool if they had something similar to the sims 4 where you can work as a Barista, waitress, or own a restaurant, because the open world aspect would make it ten times better.
One other thing, I tried out one of the base jobs and made a sim a doctor and at one point this sim got promoted and had times in her work where she had to travel to a particular lot and administer vaccines sims. I thought this was cool and it kind of reminds me of the sims 4 Get to work.
Just an fyi, you do not need a newspaper or computer to find a job. Even the work rabbitholes are located within the world, you can go directly to wherever you want to work and apply in person to get a job. Of course, you can use the newspaper/computer too, but if the job you want is not listed, no need to settle for something else, or wait until it appears, just go to the lot where your desired job is, and apply for a job.
the cellphone was also an option
What's crazy is how much was added to the Sims 3 within a 5 year period, meanwhile Sims 4 has been out going on 10 and it doesn't even have a fraction of the features. Most games improve as time goes on but The Sims has honestly gone from great to somewhat mid. There are some things that I prefer in Sims 4 but mostly the features just aren't there... and the ones that are there are hidden behind a paywall. I also feel like they hold back content in their packs so that they can release it later and try to milk more money out of everyone.
Minor correction about the relationships: they weren't all there to start with, when the sims 3 launched you could only add housemate, sibling and spouse. The gf/bf and fiancé options were added in a update like several years later.
I never got bored playing sims 3 bcuz theres so much to do! Whereas, in sims 4 . I pretty get bored easily in just 1 hour or 2 hours of playing. I need to invent a story in my mind just to enjoy huhu
The thing I miss most from sims 3 was from the Generations expansion
I miss having a Imaginary friend that I could bring to life for my sims. I was populating the town with Reborn Doll Sims and killing off the boring townies.
That dlc is the goat
That’s amazing! 😂😂😂
I love this comparison breakdown! I think most of the lag is a result of having some of the more dysfunctional expansions like Island Paradise on. Pets also slows things waaaay down. My $300 laptop runs 5 expansions smoothly without lag, it's very annoying to have to exclude content just to make the game performance correct! I have both and I still prefer TS3, probably nostalgia has something to do with it!
So true about those hairstyles! They were not great 🤣
In Sims 3 you can actually have 3 outfits per category but you need to do it using the makeover station from the (I think?) Ambitions pack
You can also create two additional outfits per category just by going to a dresser and clicking “plan outfit.”
I just downloaded master controller and you can do it all in stylist
I’ve been playing and only played the sims 4 but after seeing how much better and immersive/creative the sims 3 is I have it downloading with some packs and I’m looking forward to playing it! (Looking forward to the horses!)
Sims 3 Hands down! Not even a contest.
Yes even with base game Sims 3 is miles better than Sims 4!
Died each time you said TS4 could never 🤣 and they still can't 10 months after this video!
Thank you so much for sharing, you just made my day heaps better. Considering going back to TS3, the throwback is just... Sims4 could never. 🙌
Any OG simmers? Sims 1?
Generally I love Sims 3 more. There’s more personality and gameplay. It’s just I play on a laptop so at a certain point of time, my laptop would run out of storage and wouldn’t be able to save 😢
You actually can have multiple outfits for each category in sims 3! It doesn’t show up in cas. But if you pick “plan outfits” on a dresser you can. Not sure if this is a base game thing or not.
I have all Sims3 packs and all Sims 4 packs. I only play Sims 3 now as it’s true and fun gameplay. Using color wheel honestly makes cas and bb have endless possibilities. It was the best Sims ever. 4 just feels like a modern version of Barbie dolls for little girls.
And with the just announced Life by You sim game coming from Paradox there is reason to celebrate Sim games.
The outfits are actually kind of limitless with the customization of textures and colors of different parts of the clothing
really enjoying watching ur videos lately ! i just thought you made funny content about the sims but i actually love all ur opinions. Not having the best time at the moment so thank you for some moments of peace :)
If you get the traveler mod you can visit other worlds! I use it all the time to make my sims vacation in isla paradiso lol
There was way more consideration put into Sims 2 and Sims 3 then there ever has been in the Sims 4.
I wouldn't mind having the sliders back for the face. I suck at making faces this would help me so much
about sims 3 cas- there's more hairstyles on the hat version, including ponytails etc, and you unlock more clothes presets with the drawer item instead of in character creation, so you can actually have multiple casual, formal and gym fits
The Sims 3 is laggy not because it's way too ambitious (even for the time back when it was released) but rather because the game much like The Sims 4 is poorly coded and it frustrates me that the developers don't give the slightest **** to come back and release performance improvement updates. As a Software Engineer, I know for sure that The Sims 3 could run flawlessly as it is and even more ambitious on low-end computers and it's just sad to see Maxis not caring about playability/quality and I feel it shows that they just don't really care about the game overall anymore.
So I played sims 3 again after a very long time and the first thing that came to my mind after playing for a few minutes was that "omg my sim is instantly doing what i tell him to do without simulation lagging/just standing around for an eternity?!" and I think thats great and sad at the same time lol. But on the other side, after 5 generations of playing the same family, the lag got really bad and I stopped playing but it was a fantastic playing experience until then!

I'm not a fan of Sims 4 but Sims 3 is better
I’m so happy you touched on TS3: Supernatural and Ambitions, but wish you would’ve spoken to World Adventures! The build buy in that expansion pack changed my life 😂 I was always trying to build houses and tombs in different styles and always had a blast with it creating a space for a mummy in my home neighborhood world. I really should try to replay TS3 now that I have a better PC because I just miss so much.
One thing the sims 3 has MASSIVELY over the sims 4 as others have said, is the kookiness. It has wild random interactions, the incredibly small details such as different traits influencing the types of paintings a sim will make, neat sims being able to clean the whole house in one go or freaking out over dirty dishes, sims being happy about eating their favourite foods, having a wealth of different options available for social connections and some being available to different traits instead of hidden behind paywalls (2 ambitious sims being able to discuss work, rebellious sims influencing others to join protests, evil sims lying to other sims or getting positive moodlets from upsetting others, kleptos stealing random shit from your house, BRAVE SIMS FIGHTING BURGLARS INSTEAD OF CALLING THE POLICE, etc) meant there was a reason to play with so many different traits and personalities. The fact that people discover more quirks even today because of the SHEER AMOUNT of content available is just amazing. If you take out the fact that the game was too ambitious for its time, the sims 3 is far far superior. I can zoom into the plaza and see two townies flirting or kids having a snowball fight, or a fist fight going on outside the bistro because a townie had an affair, people protesting llamas outside the town hall, honestly amazing, hence why so many people still play today
I loved the Sims 3!! And I loved the Sims 2 even more 🙈
Sims 2 is the best. I love open for business, nightlife, they first introduced cars in a CLOSED world, pool tables, exercise bikes, cut scenes, having to buy clothes and the drama, lore and random events that often happened. Plus, I love the Sims 2 soundtrack and their individual speakers that played specific genre of music that you could use instead of purchasing a radio. Of course I enjoy Sims 3 open world, hotel and resorts system, more baby interactions and the different worlds. Both games gave us so much gameplay in just a few years.
@@lirpa2300 yesss, the sims 2 was absolutely everything! I play some of the songs from the radio stations in game while I’m cleaning 🥲 it’s my guilty pleasure. the sims 3 had such a comfortable, homey kind of vibe to it.
@@lirpa2300 Really late reply, but it really does my head in when SIms 4 fanboys claim 4 can't have cars because it's a closed world... they clearly never played 2 which introduced them to the series.
I've been going through a hard time recently and your videos are so so comforting and I agree with so many of the opinions you have and just wanted to give you a bit of support ♥️ I have never really donated to anyone on here before but I haven't even been watching long and you're already one of my favourite CZcamsrs so thank you so much for consistent uploads it's much needed 🥲
Thank you so much for it support Lucy! I’m glad they helped x
i COMPLETLEY agree i love sims 3 soo much i would play for hoursss but sims 4 i play for 5 minutes
I love that in the Sims 3 i can see the house before buying it.
i actually prefer the sims 4 cas, ngl. I understand that sims 3 has more customizable things on the face, but i feel like every sims has the same face regardless of how much its customized. It's kinda because the sims 3 graphics are less defined than sims 4 so it all just kinda blurs into the same face. Additionally, you mentioned unrealistic body expectations, but sims 4 can actually get you more realistic bodies than sims 3. Sure, you can make unrealistic ones just as much as you can make realistic ones. I'll give it to sims 3 that sims can be bigger.
I don't know, i just feel like sims 4 is The game to play if you're looking to play doll dress up and to build. Sims 3 is the thing to play if you're looking for gameplay.
Before you start, I gotta say I have never had major computer problems with The Sims 3. Maybe I'm just lucky. I avoided the Island Living pack, and I used to have mods like NRAAS although recently I do not, I turn off shop mode and some of the other processor-stealing stuff. If this video is just another rant that The Sims 3 doesn't work I'm gonna sit down and film my own friggin video 😂
Nraas is a must
@@sabinajoh Yes Nraas and it's different modules really find tune certain aspects of the game. It also provided Game Maintenance in the background.
I love this video. I am a fan of the sims 3. I’ve played since it was new (I also play sims 2) but I didn’t even know you could expand life span and years and stuff! Very informative video. I’ll forever be a sims 3 Stan😅❤️ wished they made sims 5 like sims 3 with better graphics and online maybe? Other options as well. Love this video.
something I really love doing on Sims 3 is making a ton of small apartment lots around the map so that the town is pretty much packed with sims, makes it feel a lot more lived in. I also have a lot of fun playing as a detective using the Ambitions pack
You can actually leave the world in TS3; you can take a vacation to vacation worlds or you can move to another world. Long loading times and bugs are involved so I never use it.
Once I had a dream that I was playing in Sims 3 CAS and I made my sim have seven eyes and customized each Iris to be a different color of the rainbow… I was so disappointed when I woke up and realized I couldn’t do that 😂 That’s the only time miss sims 3 has ever disappointed me. Miss sims 4 on the other hand…. She truly finds new ways to disappoint me every day.
i was just thinking i need a satch sims video then i saw u posted yess
I miss the business expansion pack. You could make a lot more stuff, and open a salon, hotel, and run it. I loved that!
If anyone owns a laptop, please be sure to buy a laptop cooling pad for it. It will save your laptop battery from expanding from the heat and will help to prolong the life of the laptop.
I liked the Sims 3 . But I thought it was hard to switch between households. I like to play with different characters so I felt a bit “stuck” in the sims 3. Otherwise I enjoyed the open world and the gameplay in the sims 3. But I like the sims 4 and the sims 2 better because I like to switch households from time to time without it effect the gameplay.
It indeed has good and bad sides. In Sims 2 only the active household ages, so quite quickly it turned very weird when you sim grows old and their classmates are still teens. Tho if you liked to play families separated form the world, it truly was good to swap between homes and return to play them whenever, whereas in Sims 3 all townies age around you which is much more realistic but also if you leave a family and switch to another, the first sims might die out in the meantime unless they are in different city-saves. Tho you can always copy the families in world mode before switching households and place them back to the city later if you feel like continuing playing with them.
You can also change cheek fullness in sims 4, it just works different. You can choose the cheek preset that's closest to the desired fullness and then just work from there.
A slight correction- you can have multiple outfits but you need to use a dresser + mirror for makeup and hair. If you have Ambitions there’s a styling station which basically pulls up CAS and you can easily add more outfits. Also, with the World Adventures pack you can visit other worlds(China, France, and Egypt) and with NRAAS traveler you can go to other worlds(yeah it’s a mod but it’s being built off of a pack feature, but also it would be nice to be able to do that base game
I recall it being stated: "The biggest issue of TS4 is that TS3 exists." And like, yes totally. As it is TS4 seems like a downgrade in so many ways. If we didn't have TS3 it would seem like a nice upgrade from TS2.
Everyone complaining about the look of the Sims 3 game tells me Sims 4 has conditioned alot of people to focus more on LOOK and ASTHETICS of the game than actual gameplay. Everyone has their pretty Sims 4 game but there's shallow gameplay and it becomes boring very quickly. And Sims 4 lag is just as bad as the Sims 3, there's people who can't even play their game now due to the bugs, lag and glitches. And as far as the Sims 3 store, at least these items added gameplay, the Sims 4 kits adds no gameplay and the only kit that attempted to be a gameplay kit broke and still hasn't been fixed.
Unlike many people, I can excuse the look of the Sims and the graphics but I can't excuse gameplay for a game that is supposed to be a LIFE SIMULATION game, I need actual gameplay, not just mainly to build, otherwise I would have stuck with SimCity and all the other Tycoon games they use to sell. For people to mainly mention the open world, tells me you didn't play the Sims 3 because Sims 3 had way more to offer than open worlds and watching cars drive around the town (which was nice). Sims 3 had better baby interactions, had better worlds like Bridgeport, Roaring Heights, and Sunlit Tides that were all vastly different and unique just to name a few. They had a fun hotels and resorts system where as the owner you received reviews from customers, more interactions with pets and animals, the festivals were more lively, drivable houseboats, better mermaids, real deep sea diving, fairies. The concept of Into the Future was literally Back to the Future 2 which was cool and a chance to live in a futuristic world and visit and meet your family in the future. That's just some of the cool features and indepth gameplay of the Sims 3. It's a way better game than Sims 4. To me, of course the best game of out of the whole franchise is the Sims 2. Side note, I think Sims 1 STILL has the best vacation pack out of all the Sims 4 games.
not to mention that you cannot really compare two games that were released 5 years apart graphic-wise. it's unfair.
@@freshlypainted For me it's not really a graphics issue, more of an aesthetics issue. Like I think Sims 2 looks better than the Sims 3 just because I prefer the style.
I had forgotten about the unicorns...this video was such a nice stroll down memory lane...I love the sims 3 😍
unless i’m wrong i think you could either have 3 or five outfits per category, you just couldn’t do it when creating your sim, only when you planned their outfit from wardrobe. i could be wrong but i’m pretty sure i remember that because the fact that you could lock/unlock your makeup and hair was something i loved
I love the sims 3, I still play it today. I stop playing sims 4 after get famous.
Sims 3 all the way!! ❤️
Note: you can actually have more than one outfit for each category, you just need to complete your sim in cas like normal then when you're actually playing the game you go into buy mode and get a dresser and clicker on theat you have the option to plan your outfit and you can add 4 more options for each outfit category, though you can't select a seperate hairstyle
Hello! I love your video, I noticed though, that you said we have have only a few choices for outfits in The Sims 3. When you use a bureau in-game, you can re-enter Create-a-Sim and do 3 outfits per category by selecting Plan Outfit. I wouldn't fill them all if you'd like to travel a lot.
For me personally, I noticed bugs and lags in The Sims 4 only after installing mods and CC, before it almost worked as a dream - only needed some time while loading screen (and I do have most of the expansions and packs). When The Sims 3 kept lagging all the time no matter what I was doing and I have never installed any mods there because of that even though it was just a base game :/
I had the opposite issue. Almost from release day there were crazy issues with TS4, and I didn't use mods or CC. I remember the skill bar getting stuck forever even when you weren't working on a skill, tasks getting stuck in your task queue and never being able to remove them, emotions flipping when there was nothing to cause it (like being flirty where there was absolutely no flirty items or other sims nearby), game crashing, placed items disappearing, horrendous issues with build mode (like the entire roof breaking if you tried to make a loft area).
On the other hand, I played TS3 on an old Toshiba laptop that was also running netflix through an HDMI to the tv and rarely ever had any issues. I remember the fire station was broken, though. There was one glitch I abused the hell out of. The longer you played, when you slept, eventually your happiness meter would just get stuck on full, so even if you only had negative moodlets it would still be pumping out the reward points. Once you saved and came back in it reset, though.
Info: ts3 does have multiple outfits per category, but you can't do that right away in CAS. After you've made your sim, if you have them plan outfit with a dresser, you can actually find a + button in the corner and it lets you add multiple outfits.
Im currently playing the sims 3 with some expansions and the naraas mods to a better performance,and honestly its so much fun,i do miss the sims 4 build mode,but the sims 4 its so empty i can't,i can play in so many different ways and do sm that i honestly love the sims 3 🥰 you just put some mods for clothes,hair and furniture and you are done! I totally recomend naraas mods and smoth patch mod to preform at the best,im currently playing in my laptop and it goes well
I miss your lets play satch! Do a cool kitchen chef hustling let's play lmao 😂
I just love the sims 4 graphics
I agree with the body standards, I hate it when people make their sims identical in The Sims 4. It’s so stupid and just exposes how toxic their beauty standards are, granted you can make more diverse body types in The Sims 4. But the identical sims trend is annoying and ugly.
i wanted to download some sims from the gallery and they all looked the same with just the hair and eye color change. thin, small noses, big lips, big eyes. you would expect that with more intuitive cas of sims 4 there would be much more diversity.
I’m sure there are people actually making an effort to be diverse (like me) but those sims are always more popular with more downloads 🥲
Great content love it keep up the good work
They used to push it to the limit every single time with ts3 and ts2 . I remember being so impressed with the system of building a floating house that you could move anywhere to the ocean. That was insane. And you could like swim, throw parties while your house was in moviment, and we never actually asked for it!. So cool. Now we have to beg for maxis add the simplest things. 😭😢😢
