Sims 3 pets are actually fun and horses are OP. Literally only pets expansion I’ve ever liked and it’s in my HER tier for sure

    I love the "Die kenne ich nicht" clip xD Seen it so many times and as a german I never realized at first that it was another language, that it was MY motherlanguage and thats halarious to me every time I see this
    World adventures was my first expansion pack. At first I was disappointed. I wanted to get late night for christmas as a teen and they gifted me world adventures. I really din't know what to do with this. But then I've spend all these years exploring these beautiful worlds. Exspecially sim china catched me.
    Also: Never had major lags from pets OR late night. Pets is a must have for me. I can't imagine my simworld without all these cuta animals anymroe. Because there are not just pets but wild animals as well.
    Showtime is my LOVE. But I think its mostly because of the world.
    Supernatural. I LOVE IT! But I like the supernatural sims to stay in their own world. So when I play in moonlight falls its all Fairies, werewolfs and witches. But in the other worlds... meh.
    Seasons is also a must have for me but yeah. should've been in the basegame from the start. But considering what Sims 4 is doing with their expansions and stuff packs... I guess it's ok.
    University is great... but that's it I think its great and I really like to use it from time to time but I don't really see a major benifit for the sims. They can get every job without higher education. It just lets them join in a higher job level. In germany we don't have to go to university to get a good job either. So I never experienced it. So it's kinda odd for me to let so many sims study in university... I really think htat's the only reason why don't use this pack more often.
    I never owned into the future myself. It just never interested me.
    I totally agree with island paradise. I was so excited when I first saw the trailer and wanted this pack so bad. I enjoy every minute playing it but the lags make it so difficult for me. With the traveler mod It now is a destination world for my sims to travel to an this fits just perfectlyy. Just having my newly wed couple flying off to isla paradiso in the middle of winter is kinda refreshing.

    In general, I agree with your rankings. I have to say I love Pets, I think it does add to the game and its not just cats and dogs or even the horses, its all the small pets and finding them in the world, my sim went on world adventure and found a Chinchilla and while my adventurer was going through tombs his partner was always playing with the Chinchilla, just added something for me. Late Night honestly has a lower personal ranking, the most I do with it is put the professional bars in all my bar lots in all the worlds. For Isla Paradiso, I found a fixed save, a save where someone went in and fixed all the little things (some not so little) that was causing routing issues with townies and thats what made the game lag, its not a mod just a save file which has lots adjusted as necessary and that one family that was corrupted removed, also apparently when townies move their houseboat autonomously it causes problems and there is a mod to prevent that, so those two things the save file and the mod to prevent townies from moving the houseboat totally fixed Isla Paradiso for me.

    Into the Future was the last pack I bought along with movie stuff? ( I forget that stuff packs name lol) but I honestly have never used the time travel game play and I only use the pack for the Engineer a Baby option at the hospital. It allows me to have same sex couples to have biological children without mods so it’s honestly worth having it installed. Costs 5k simoleons and you can either randomize the genetics like regular woohoo or you can totally customize the baby. Recently I did find out the Nraas Hybrid system does not work with that option so that’s something to keep in mind if you like playing with occult hybrids.

    The only reason I have Pets installed is because I want horses in my Victorian and medieval story worlds. Installing ITF seemed like a good idea at the time, but really the only thing I keep it for is the jet pack. The ITF clothes are mostly horrendous and I have to re-categorise them as not random if I don't want half the sims in my towns to be wearing them.

    While I do not agree with all of your rankings, I do agree with most of your reasoning.
    I put Showtime in a category of its own, along with its sidekick, KPST: "WTF EA." They are the only dlc of Sims 3 that I choose not to own. I think Showtime should have been included with Late Night, and KPST should not exist (but it is my opinion). The only aspect that I would like to have in my game are Genies, but unless EA gives ST for free, they can stay in their dusty old lamps.
    As for Pets, that is another top tier for me (and yes, without NRaas mods, they tend to lag the game). I just love playing as Pets, having all the wildlife in game, and the smaller pets are jyst so much fun. I love a bit of fantasy in my game, Unicorns are just the right touch.
    I can also understand your hesitation for buying Into the Future, but as a fellow sci-fi fan, the futuristic content makes it top tier for me. The quests are fun (but can grow old to some players, however, being able to have proper futuristic items (combined with the Sims 3 Store World: "Lunar Lakes"), I can now build or download awesome alien planets, utopian/dystopian worlds or staight up apocalyptic zones!
    I do agree that Seasons should be in every basegame, as well as Generations, but like you referenced with how Sims 4 sprinkled out content, I cannot complain (at least both were jam packed with content)❣
    I also place Island Paradise a little higher, but only because I downloaded Ella Charmed's fix, as well as use mods to maintain for the lag. Also, if you do eventually get Pets, it is best to turn off the Wildlife, if you want to play in the world (Especially horses, for they do not work well with houseboats). By the way, it is easy to add dive lots and piers in other worlds @acottonsock has a tutorial to help out if you are interested.
    My absolute favorite EP is Supernatural, but I am biased when it comes to horror and the occult. While most of the occults are enhanced from that of Sims 2, the only downside is you need mods for hybrids.

  • @picklesims
    @picklesims Год назад +3

    I agree with your list 100%
    So! I would put Pets in "Lucina's Hole" or "This Chair." You have to be ready to change the theme of your gameplay. Maybe like how supernatural works, but less impactful.
    And Into the Future in Luciana's Hole. Why? Because it's like World advantures- kinda- but it's only 1 world.. You can change the outcome of the future, but it's not a huge impact. I think of Into the Future as a spin off game.
    I totally believe both of the packs you don't own are better than both Showtime and University. Maybe try them out??

    I don’t understand why people don’t like sims 3 pets. It’s one of my absolute faves, I could not play the game without it. Of course I love dogs in my household, but the reason this pack is a must for me is the wildlife roaming around in every single world. It makes the worlds seem full of life. Coming across wild horses is so beautiful, and it’s so cool when you’re in map view at nighttime and there’s a unicorn wandering around. I love the little critters crawling around, I love the wild birds and critters you can catch and keep. It’s a bloody great pack and I think people need to give it the love it really deserves.

    This was fair.
    Recently removed university from my set up. I hate the social cliques. They are so annoying. It’d have been okay if you can quarantine that system to that world. University is too easy.
    Removed pets because of lag. Even with nrass still spawns a shit load of pets.
    Removed into the future.
    And world adventures. I just never seem to have time to go on vacation. It just seems like late game content.
    I love supernaturals and generation even though I feel like it’s a little light on content. Season is fun but the weather can make the game slowish at times.
    I have to say with everything there is a caveat. I know we say that a game doesn’t shouldn’t need mods, but the sims wouldn’t have been playable for me without them. The game has a lot of issues, and honestly mods saves it.
    I don’t know if I could recommend anything but generations to people who don’t use mods.

    I bought Nightlife and Showtime at the same moment, so I'm not really sure what stuff comes with which pack xD The fame system is kinda annoying to me, because your sim often gets famous by just befrending their boss at work or something and then you have paparazzi following you xD

    So hers my little hot take on your takes.
    World adventures: I tried to collect all the special unique artifacts. And I swear too god that it is impossible becuse some quest will never triger. And the quest somtime makes no sense. Like I want to explore tombs, not pick up a hobby in wine making.
    Generation: the fucking imaginary friend is the bane of my existence.
    Supernatural: I dont get the idea of giving you supernatural related life time wishs to turn pepole into supernaturals and then give you a town full of supernaturals. And werwolf townies being stuck as werewolves serasliy decreases the werewolf gene pole.
    Ambitions: active cares are fun, but get really tidus in a big household.
    Seasons: this one just is the best.
    Late night: this one just is the second best.
    University: social networking is not a skill that will make you super ritch, but it does let you socialize with that one sim whose on a different cycle then you.
    Island paradise: this pack is really great when it works.
    Showtime: acualy don't own this one.
    Pets: the world is perfect for a farming family, but the school/stadium doesn't play nice with generation. Many other worlds have this problem, but they usually have something else to do in theme other then family.
    Into the future: frankly gets too much hate. Has the best woman pants (the black spandex) for winter clothes. Unstable is the best trait in the game.
