      @avnerpinheiro732 2 года назад +136

      Gosh, your comment is spot on! I never thought this, but Sims 3 actually had a way somber (and sober) vibe that made things way more realistic. Like you said: the rust, the grittyness, the abandoned stuff, the mist... Plus the sound effects and everything... It was so real it was surreal at times, and Sims 4 will never replicate this feeling.
      Sims 4 is ok, Sims 1 is kinda dated, Sims 2 is good... But Sims 3 will always be THE BEST, and to me it is timeless.

      @zigzagintrusion 2 года назад +9

      I'm so late but this is so true. I prefer the Sims 3, because it's way more gameplay-driven. Like, in the _Sims 3: Pets,_ we got cats, dogs, critters (squirrels and shit), and horses. You can race with the horses and even find UNICORNS. Like, that's awesome. What do we get in the Sims 4? Cats and dogs. And that's it. (Unless you wanna blow even more money to get some more items and a hamster or something.)
      Anyways, my point is that I agree with you 100%. I can't play a household for more than an hour at most before I get bored and just go back into CAS.

      @kacpernowak1535 2 года назад +236

      ​@@shanenanigans27 Yeah but the moodlets are really well done and give you an overview of a spectrum of a sim's feelings. I almost never look at moodlets in TS4. They're put too much in the corner and rather useless.
      Same with wants. Wants are an integral gamepaly feature in TS3, well-developed and meaningful. "Whims" in TS4 are useless. Not to mention that they stopped adding them after one of the expansion packs, so they're not really a thing anymore.
      The much advertised "emotion system" in TS4 is fundamentally flawed. Your sim can experience something really bad, but they'll still be happy and so on. That's what I like about TS3, it doesn't tell you an "emotion", it gives you an overview of the moodlets, all the things that the Sim feels at the moment, and focuses on them, your sim doesn't need any label for their emotional state, because it's too complicated.
      Besides, because of the emotion system, there's too many gameplay features that reward you in "changing the current emotion", which is just dull and useless.

      The open world did have some issues with the scripting (which causes a lot of lag), but there's a mod that fixes it. With that fix, the game becomes absolutely amazing. The gameplay is so great.. like the one world you can literally have houseboats and drive them around the open world. Something I miss about the open world too is the fact you didnt' just keep hopping worlds like you do on Sims 4.. On Sims 4 you live in like Willow Creek and just keep popping over to New Crest, Oasis Springs, etc as it suits you.. on Sims 3 you were actually just part of whatever world you chose at the start. The rest you could travel to through a vacation and such. It was so much more immersive that way.

    i have a little tip that always works for me when create-a-style starts being extremely laggy- try exiting build/buy mode for a second or two. this should fix the lag or at least make it a little bit more bearable

    • @Eventide215
      @Eventide215 2 года назад +3

      Yeah she mentioned it at one point. Most of the lag in the game comes from scripting errors in the core of the game, which there's mods to fix. There's also a CC patch for the game that drastically reduces lag especially in the build/buy and create-a-style. There's also a few tweaks you can do to the configs as well to speed up the game. I think they even released a 64bit version of the game which speeds things up a lot too.

      @kill4karma 2 года назад +13

      @@kiwipops I know that, I'm not stupid. Realistically I'd want just the color wheel, not the patterns. The patterns and textures slow it down significantly. The sims 4's more simple and stylized art style would also be more lag friendly and the sims 3 was made over a decade ago. I'm sure that the code could be more optimized than it currently is. My point was that just taking the sims 3 + sims 4 style and build mode wouldn't solve the lag problem if it were actually made.

      @@kiwipops The main lag on Sims 3 was actually from a scripting error you can fix with a mod. If I remember correctly, there were pathing issues with Sims within the open world and this applied to vehicles, sims themselves, the wild animals, etc. It'd start to cause more and more lag as you keep the game open. With the mod to fix it, the game became nearly lag free even in the create a style.

      That's what I liked about older sims games.. 1, 2, and 3 all had story that would write itself. Sims 4 is far too much of a sandbox for me. Like to make anything happen you have to do it yourself which just gets boring.. The whims on Sims 4 tried to fix that but they were so optional and so tiny on the UI you'd forget about them a lot. The wants, fears, desires, etc on Sims 3 though really kept pushing you to do little goals and typically really fit your sim too. So you didn't always feel like you're the only thing creating their story.

    While the graphics of the sims 4 might top the sims 3, simply because of how dated the sims 3 graphics are, the experience is so lacking in comparison.

    I remember this sims 3 playlist from an old youtuber I used to watch. It was so in detail and they were actually able to make an interesting and in depth story without 100 different mods

    I love playing Polly Maloney in Bridgeport. She lives in the basement of Maloney Towers. She's great for a rags-to-riches story. I sold off most of the decor (such as it was) in her apartment and used the money to buy sleeping bags. Then I got 7 roommates who all slept in the sleeping bags and used that income to live on while Polly developed her career as an interior designer. She has her own mansion now.

    I love the sims 3 it’s my favorite game actually and it’s first game that got me addicted.
    But sims 4 just has a lot of good things w forget about? The multitasking alone just amazes me

    I grew up playing the Sims 2 and I loved it! Scipped the Sims 3 altogether and only started playing again, this time The Sims 4, a few years ago. I have always been more of a builder - I build a house, create a family, play for an hour and go on to the next house - and going back from Sims 4 to 2 might seem really restrictive but back then it never felt like that for me. I just loved the freedom and creativity of building whatever I wanted.
    I think with all of those options for customization in the Sims 3 it probably would have been a bit too much for me, would have taken me forever to finish a build. 😅

      And freaking hoverboards (ACTUAL hoverboards, not the stupid non-hovering things that are called that for some reason in real life) and JETPACKS. :) And horses! And it was the first Sims game to have bicycles.

    At 9:51 that wide painting has a swatch so similar to one in the sims 4! I think it might be from City Living, I swear it's almost the same!

    Thank you for this! I love the Sims 3. I really felt your struggle with create a style. I can spend hours changing all the wood to match. Also; you used my favourite couch. I wish I could watch the streams, but my computer can't handle that. :(

    Ooh I love islands on TS3. Your sim could place one snack bowl on top of that island in live mode. You have 3 choice, I think it was candy, chips or nuts.
