      @Mike-di1og This is partially true. Some people never had issues with Sims 3 even on older, cheaper computers even back then and some people have always encountered problems even on higher end computers regardless of when they played the game. You want your computer to be just right for Goldilocks because of what @MayHave mentioned.
      This is from the NRaas recommendations page:
      Are you playing on a computer with a modern and/or higher-end dedicated graphics card? The game has no functional built-in fps limiter. Running at fps rates higher than your monitor can interpret *will degrade performance and can ultimately damage your card and your system.* Use the relevant Nvidia or AMD tools to arrange vertical sync and cap the in-game frame rate to the refresh rate of your monitor. Most monitors are 60 Hz so that would be 60 fps; some can run higher.
      TS3 does not require the most modern of graphics cards by current standards, especially compared with other games, but playing on a system with integrated graphics or a very low-end card can be very limiting and game play can suffer.
      Also the Sims 3 is coded with terrible optimization in general and a lot of crashes can be attributed to routing errors. NRaas has a ton of tips as well as mo ds for getting the game to run with fewer issues. Sims 3 has some great game play but perhaps some of the worst bugs too.
      Btw if you don't see this reply when you click on it from an e mai l then it was recycled because of certain keywords and trying to figure out which ones doomed it will be too much trouble, so I hope this is okay.

    In build mode, with cheats on, you can shift click on your neighbours’ doors (doors between a room with a public marker and a room with a hidden marker) to “allow NPCs” so you would have non-playable sims show up and live there. They would go in and out and you can knock on their doors and chat and hangout with them and befriend them. And no, your sim doesn’t own the whole building, only the rooms with neither public nor hidden room markers.

      @@iris-christina The ways sims is now, having some QoL mods are an absolute must in order for the game to run smoothly. Simler90's core mod being chief among them, since they fixed many things EA never bothered to. There's also modifying the ini file if you really want to be particular, where you can turn off bloom and modify the sims' collision threshold (personally turn that way down, so now sims can pass each other in single tile halls).
      There's also Alpha1295's GPU add-on support, which is less a mod and more a separate utility to put your graphics card in for you instead of doing it manually. Granted, this isn't something you need to do, but there are some crashes in the sims 3 that are related to it just freaking out over not recognizing the graphics card. Running the add-on patches your gpu info into one of the files, so it fixes that.

    TS2 really has the gold standard for apartments. You can have multiple playable families live in the same building as separate households (in TS3 it's only one apartment and the rest are townie generating doors with no apartment attached to it) and sometimes they'll make noise and wake up your Sims, so you'd have to bang on the walls for them to stop and things like that. Plus you could interact in cute ways with your neighbors like visiting them and throwing parties in the common areas and asking them to watch your kids while you're out... If TS4 is bringing back this kind of experience then I'm guessing it's gonna be good.

    Yep. The Sims 2 apartments were awesome, even if you did have to use cheats to change the lot type and the units were delineated by a single door type (the one with the welcome mat) and that door had to be the only exit into the common area (you could have a completely fenced in exterior area attached to your apartment, though). It also gave you Townie neighbours in the rest of the apartments on the lot, though only a single Townie (who were in the social groups added with the expansion - which ones you got depended on the value of the lot) in each unit - but those were actual rentable units, so you could go visit them (or have playable Sims move in, of course - plenty of 'em in the Sim Bin for that).
    The Sims 3's version were a huge disappointment. Can't even visit the neighbours because their units don't actually exist. :(

Expanding rooms and adding foundation are incredibly intuitive so idk how you have trouble with that. You can literally do the expanding thing the same as TS3 if you wanted to make it harder/more finicky on yourself and foundation you literally grab the arrow pointing up when selecting the building and pull it up. In TS3 it was significantly more obtuse because if you didn't already know about it you could make an entire build and have to destroy it to add foundation.
      As for the chimney thing, I have no idea what you mean. You can have a fire with no chimney and if you want one you don't have to use moveobjects. Unless you're talking about TS3 there which would make more sense cuz iirc you had to have a chimney and so it really got in the way of building.

I remember the trailers for sims 2 when I was 11 & how excited I was for it & was so amazed by its realism (honestly if you compare it to the sims it really was a wild improvement) now looking back it was a lot more blocky than I remember. I also remember when the sims 3 came out & I was excited cause I thought it’d be even better than the sims 2, but I was honestly so let down. It was like I step back in my eyes & the glitches were unbearable. I didn’t play it for more than 10 hours total even though I bought it with my own teenage money. The sims 4 brought me back & even with some of its setbacks, I think it really does bring back my love that I had for it as a child. So I cannot relate to the gushy feelings the sims streamers I watch have for the sims 3, but I’m kind of jealous I don’t cause there are some things I know I would have loved about it, I just couldn’t get past the cartoonish ui & the way the sims looked & of course the lagging. Rip lol

      You and I are about the same age and I have the same feelings. The Sims 3 was so bad (to me) that I stayed away from the Sims 4 for years. I just assumed nothing would ever compare to the Sims 2. Now, I think I like TS4 even more.

      @@SamtheShyOneI didn’t even start playing TS4 until 2020. I was on the road traveling for 5 years before that so I was quite literally living under a rock in the woods without a laptop, let alone a computer or Wi-Fi lol. So when I did start playing I was so happy to feel that same sense of wonder I had as a child for the sims. I know there’s some annoyances & I miss so many of the features from TS2, but I’m still so much happier with TS4 than I ever was with TS3. I know I missed out on some stuff, but with how much they update the game I’m grateful I can still subjectively enjoy it.

      @@danithoI was so angry about it. Trust me the 40$(?) I spent on the physical game hurt me when I didn’t have a lot of money, but I was so annoyed every time I tried to play it I stopped playing & never looked back. The open world was cool, I liked being able to just run to the gym or a cafe or play chess on the beach, but I just wasn’t happy with the loss of realism in the graphics. I liked the sims & TS2 because it felt real in my child brain & I could make characters that looked like real people, but the sims in TS3 looked so odd to me I couldn’t get past that at all. Took all the fun out of it for me I’d talk so much shit about them to my dad, like “who signed off on this?!” I never bought a single expansion pack that’s how long I lasted playing it. I don’t think an expansion had even come out yet when i put it down & never touched it again. I’m honestly glad I didn’t spend any more money on it, but sometimes I wonder if I could have gotten past it, but my life was fine without it 😅 I’d say first gen stuff is always gonna have bugs & not be as enjoyable, but I loved everything about TS2 from the get go so I don’t feel bad about not enjoying TS3, I thought I was being punked. “Wait, this is what I was hyped for?! No…” but again I can understand people who grew up with it not knowing any better could enjoy it cause they weren’t jaded from the jump lol my love for TS2 was just too strong & embedded.

      @DaniJay-fk8qr 7 месяцев назад +50

      The Sims 3 is a 14 year old game. To get it (or any game that old) to work its best usually requires some tweaking. Also, try disabling some of the packs that are hardest on performance (Pets, Island Paradise, Seasons), and see how that goes.
      That being said, playing an older game can require a certain amount of "I'm willing to put up with some inconveniences to play this."

    • @valiant_emmeres2138
      @valiant_emmeres2138 7 месяцев назад +27

      Heya, I highly recommend looking up how to clear the Sims 3’s cache. I clear the cache every time I run the game using a batch file, so all I have to do is double-click the icon from my desktop. VAST improvement.

    • @valiant_emmeres2138
      @valiant_emmeres2138 7 месяцев назад +6

      As a general tip, going from build to buy if the game lags while in Create-a-Style or Create-a-Sim is a good idea. If you’ve had 3 hours of lag less play, then it suddenly gets worse, save, close, clear cache, restart.

    • @valiant_emmeres2138
      @valiant_emmeres2138 7 месяцев назад +6

      The reason for some lag is the game stores recent actions to allow you to click undo and depending on the changes this can end up complex (remembering values for modified textures). Some lag is the action queue getting stuck; it isn’t prioritising actions correctly so the Sim stares off into space for 20 sim minutes. There’s a mod that overhauls this and pretty much resolves it entirely.

    I have all Expansion pack and stuff packs enabled, 65+ mods , 40 CC, and even run Nraas Story Progression which is notorious for causing insane lag and breaking the game yet i run it just fine.
    One performance mod isn’t going to cut it, you need to use mods that tackle issues that cause lag (like routing issues in Isla world). Clearing cache is a necessity, i also re verify my game files through steam per play and i can guarantee you if my laptop runs it smoothly,you especially could on a decent PC . There’s honestly no excuse as my laptop opens the game in 2-5 mins max , ill share my essential mods if anyone would like to .

Like I’m sure it’s a good game but I feel like a lot of people are blinded by nostalgia, so they ignore the flaws of the ts3, (horrible lag, questionable graphics etc ) and can’t enjoy the newer sims games, so as a result complain about everything the sims 4 does. It honestly gets on my nerves tbh.

    The title for this video is the opposite of how Lilsimsie was describing all the problems with TS3. It was always problematic, even when you had all the mods for making it run better. One thing I found, is the game saves better if you save frequently. (It was worse when I had Windows XP, because that OS couldn't use more than a bit of the RAM, no matter how much RAM you had installed. I learned to save frequently. Even when playing, if I didn't save at least once every "SimDay" it would crash, and sometimes even with a partial "SimDay.")
    By the way, TS3 was on sale this past week. (It appears that the sale is over.) I couldn't see how much it was selling for (because I already "own" it.)

And I also love the view from the apartments windows. I like to play close up, walls up games and the eerie, liminal vibe really fits my gameplay. Anything is better than ts4 btw, despite having spent a lot of money on it :(((
