(Warning: This is a long comment) I started playing Sims 3 when I was 9 years old. And I was so surprised by the variety of possibilities in the basic version of the game. If my sim was a famous musician, then he was driven to work by a pink limousine or a black one (I don't remember well what kind of limousine was in which career, sorry😅). But I remember well the situation when I arranged my sim to the local police station. A police car was automatically added to his luggage. So when he took time off to take care of his children, he continued to drive that car. 😂 It's so weird, but that's why I love Sims 3. I also remember waiting for a meteor to fall, or how it almost killed my sim and I was nearly crying when the meteor fragments started falling around her.😰 (I was a sensitive child, and there was a tense sound of meteor, that made this moment even worse). And then she was abducted by aliens, because she stayed in place and collected the pieces of meteor. Also, with the sims 3 addons I got into collecting stones, cutting them into different shapes, and selling them. And my families always practiced alchemy, so they could make potions and sell them in a special shop that was frequented by zombies that growled at my characters, and sometimes had bitten them to turn into zombies too. I also love imaginary friends, and mummies, and other supernatural beings. Travel to different countries, higher education and campus life, and different interesting cities with their own family stories to read, as well as secret locations, secret doors... There was so much in The Sims 3 that I can't even list it all right now. Even now, when I haven't played Sims for many years, I still learn something new about this game that I never knew even after playing it for years, before quitting it. I really want Sims 5 to be at least a little similar to the previous parts (taken together), otherwise I don't see the point of making the next part of the game. (Sorry for making such a long comment, I just had to speak it out loud to finally express all my thoughts about The Sims.)
Completely agree, the sims 3 has so many options and plot twists. Get bored after creating my house in the sims 4 and the constant loading screens… don’t even get me started
It's so weird in Sims 4 I make new Sims and new houses for them but then I don't want to play them after that. I totally agree that build by and CAS are the best features of Sims 4. Kind of defeats the purpose of the game in some ways
That's the thing that hurt me the most, I played Sims 4+DLC for 3 weeks then had enough and switched back to base game Sims 3 and have more fun playing the game.
Ever since I updated to a proper gaming pc I’ve literally just been playing sims 3 it’s such a good game and it runs so smoothly on my new computer I’m so happy as I have all the expansions 😭😭
@@justinenicole3926 hello, I’m looking for a new computer to get back to my sims 3 world 😍 I have all the DLC + several mod. I had a good computer with a graphic card i5 it was running ok but couldn’t do big world. Does yours ? And which Alienware do you have ?
I do not know about the comment owner but I have been using HP Envy (2019 or 2020 version im not sure) and it runs sims 3 perfectly. Ofc Nrass mods like mastercontroller, overwatch and traffic do help a lot.
And horses. God HORSESSSS AUGH I’m an equestrian and I was so pissed off when they didn’t add them in contrary living. If only they made a game with graphics of sims 4, but features of both sims 4 &3 Edit: I wish I could afford to spend pocket money on the new horses dlc 🫠
i love horses too but i think it’s better to have a separate pack with horses cause you can do so much with them like doing races or breeding them. so that they wouldn’t be underdone if you get what i mean :)

Not just the colour wheel, but the fact you could change the textures and patterns of furniture, and whichever texture you chose would have an appropriate sound. If you change a counter top to metal, when Sims put plates down on it, it will sound like metal. I miss these little details. Everything in my houses took hours of customising but you could get so much more from just a few build/buy items than you can using the swatches in Sims 4

@@gabrielandy9272Personally, I prefer vampires and werewolves in The Sims 3 more, but witches in The Sims 4 are better imo Even so, I think witches in Sims 4 are lacking a lot and The Sims 2 witches are my favorite
Best game of all time imo, been playing since I was 11 years old and I never get bored. I’m 21 now. The fact that you can change the colour of almost anything, not only that but the selection of patterns you could use WHICH YOU COULD ALSO change the colour of. That in itself was such a perk of the game.
That's where I'm disappointed. The sims seem to lack more detail in 4 than in 3. In 3 the hair was so fun, there was a color wheel for that, roots, highlights. Last time I tried 4 there were like 3 or 4 fun haircolors
some occults, like vampires, are better on ts4, they have way more features & gameplay. BUT it only occurs bc they came in a pack only for vampires, with the price of a sims's 3 expansion with all of the occults lol

@@Meshisathat’s the problem. so much of the sims 4 is just “you tell them to do it/go there, and they do, but you can’t follow them.” and if you can, you go through like 10 loading screens. i don’t know why they took a step backward on that…
Sims 2: best lore and relationship mechanics Sims 3: best gameplay, personality system, decoration, and content per dlc Sims 4: my personal favorite for building and the most appealing looking sims
Imagine TS3 with the build mode of the TS4. Also car door animations like from TS2 in there too. TS3 is my favorite, followed closely by TS2. TS3 is the game I plan to buy all the expansions, and probably stuff packs for.
There’s no excuse for TS4 not having all the gameplay features from TS3, along with the upgraded graphics. GRAPHICS DON’T MAKE A GAME, ELECTRONIC ARTS!!!
@@OpalMoonstone247 Them too! In-laws and blood relatives were always on the dating website, for some reason. Couldn't romance them, obviously, but I could have messaged them.
Girl... I have most of the expansion, game, and stuff packs for TS4, and it will never take long for me to switch back to the TS3. I've been playing that gane since it came out and I'm still figuring out new things everyday. I could probably play TS3 for a whole day without stopping.
@@henrikeotzipka6998maybe late, but my favorite are late night, supernatural, generations, seasons, pets, and island living. I would say the other packs are more like sims 4 in the sense that they serve like one purpose rather than being part of the entire game experience (other than showtime which just felt lacking to me). But all of those packs are truly game changing and can be used at any time in any world and feel necessary.
So you know how annoying it is in the sims to create a room and have a couch and arm chair be a different share of brown and not be able to do anything about it! I don't build houses often, but whenever I load up that house I die a little on the inside
Literally true, I miss being able to see my sim drive around, have burgulars, etc. I am not a fan of how sims 4 looks graphically compared to sims 3/2. On top of that, direct control on consoles for sims 2 was amazing! Wish we could do that still.
you installed a 14 years old game and expected it to work perfectly without you doing nothing, didn't you? anyways, accoton's sims 3 fix guide video would help you a lot
Or… since technology has improved a LOT since Sims 3… maybe NOT go backwards. It’s not like the new lot has any new features from the lot you just left. It’s just more of the same ole same ole nothing going on.
Yeah, if you have more than three packs installed then it lags a lot. There are ways to fix it though. Open world and color wheel also make the game lag. They left that information out. Sims 3 is still great though.
I miss this game so much. Sims 2 and 3 were amazing. I tried playing 3 a few weeks ago but it kept pausing for 1-2 minutes every 30 seconds. Didn’t have that issue on my old laptop.
I heard sims 3 crash due to error problems often compared to other version of the sims, the lag is a problem too especially when driving because every near plot load and unload as you pass.
THANKS FOR THIS. Sims 3 has been my favourite game since forever. I have played Sims 4 before but its not has entertaining until you put some mods lmao. Sims 4 will never reach Sims 3 level of gameplay. Period.
@@henrikeotzipka6998me too, I played Sims 4 on my pc, downloaded all available mods, made possibilities but still it lacks a personal feel to it. So I decided to install Sims 3 last night & downloaded some good mods, then I pretty enjoyed it until now. The open-world map without loading screens, snappy Sims interactions (no freezing Sim, unlike in Sims 4), and everything is just so refined. ❤
@henrikeotzipka6998 Generations is the only EP I don't have (and I'm not getting it for personal reasons), but it's highly recommended in the community. I personally recommend Ambitions and Seasons. Ambitions in particular is an absolute must-have.
I bought the Sims 4, and i genuinely tried really hard to like it... Unfortunately all of my favorite features were taken out, so I just went back to TS3 and thought about TS4 again.. I'm just waiting for TS5, I'm hoping they will bring back all the important features...
I wish that the sims 4 must add the sims 3 function, like have sims 4 graphics and some gameplay and combine the sims 3 functions and gameplay that would be so amazing
@@henrikeotzipka6998 hi! you said this a while ago but I would 100% recommend sims 3! however, it can crash easily. For example I have a MacBook Air 2020, I can only play it if airplane mode is on and if I deactivated I cloud, or it won't work. Also the game has tons of bugs, most of them can be fixed my clearing the cache or using community bug fixes (mods) but it just take sometime to fix these problems and may take multiple tries. Generations, ambitions, and world adventures are so fun! I also love into the future. I grew up with both games and sims 3 is much better in my opinion I cant play sims 4 anyone cause of how boring it is in comparison. But make sure your computer is compatible!
My sister played Sims 3 a long time and now Sims 4. She is really into these games. She once told me all the things Sims 3 does better than Sims 4 and it is a lot . But at the end she told me she prefers Sims 4 because of the huge developed emotions system and when my sister tells me which game actually is better, I belief her. Sims is really her cup of tea 😂
Unpopular opinion: I'm not too mad about not having open world in the sims4. I always found it really annoying when your sim has a slow car and it takes ages for them to drive across town. However open neighbourhoods would be nice in the sims4 so you could visit your neighbours easily
I remember I loved the teleporting and how cooked fish was shiny and how accurate I could get a sim to look like a celebrity and the seasons pack worked nicely, I miss the sims 3
I think what’s even better than the color wheel is that you can change textures. A simple pair of pants can be changed from basic to glam to goth to dirty to vintage… and you can change the color of the pattern.
I really wanna play sims 3 but it performs shit on mine (even though it has nraas). Half-second freezing when I click on any sim, screen tearing even when I enable vsync and limit frames to 59-60 fps, fps keeps jumping to a wide range of lower values instead of being consistent... I guess I'll just stick with my heavily modded sims 4 that somehow still runs fine :(
but since when can you play vanilla the sims 4 😭? the simulation lag, the crazy change of emotions, the lack of features & personality.. i used to have dozens of mods on ts4, while on ts3 i only use seven or so. and it depends baby. like, i also love nraas mods but errortrap & overwatch totally break my ts3, even if they are good for everyone else. i must be cursed.
Reasons why I like the sims 4 more: it doesn’t freeze. Sims 3 was pretty much unplayable without mods getting it to work for me and even with all the mods I downloaded to stop the constant freezing it still freezes constantly ugh.
Every longtime simmer knows 2 and 3 are the best of the sims 4 franchise. Only people who complained about sims 3 seem to be people with really shitty computers to be honest. Also - love your music choice :)
Heard from a friend that the stair railings can be placed manually (like fences and walls) in sims 3. I really hate the top of the railing sticking up from the wall in sims 4.
I miss having my household wander all around the open world playing them all at once, the kids playing in the park, the teen to the gym, an adult having a custom designed stage to perform on all the while ur plumbot is cooking something up for when they get home and ur plantsim generating a small fortune in the backyard garden, ahh those were the days
Alas my sims 3 was on an account I can no longer get into but I miss it so much. It's was so much fun and I would always Chang colors and the create a sim area was better cause it looked like an actual room and the pet pack had everything from guinea pig to horses and the ability to play as your pet was a real thing you could do.
If developers would just revamp the Sims 3 in 2022 with it’s bugs, graphics, and lag etc., it would be absolutely unstoppable today. Sims 4 wouldn’t stand a chance.
There's always gonna be bugs it has so much moving Parts to do a Sims game
No really it should put sims 2 and sims 3 together. With better graphics. That would be such a powerful game.
There are mods for that and they work well
there are mods now that can help with these kind of issues. we have the smooth patch and other things that you can do in order to help with lag.

@@Meshisathat’s the problem. so much of the sims 4 is just “you tell them to do it/go there, and they do, but you can’t follow them.” and if you can, you go through like 10 loading screens. i don’t know why they took a step backward on that…
Sims 2: best lore and relationship mechanics
Sims 3: best gameplay, personality system, decoration, and content per dlc
Sims 4: my personal favorite for building and the most appealing looking sims
Imagine TS3 with the build mode of the TS4. Also car door animations like from TS2 in there too. TS3 is my favorite, followed closely by TS2. TS3 is the game I plan to buy all the expansions, and probably stuff packs for.
There’s no excuse for TS4 not having all the gameplay features from TS3, along with the upgraded graphics.
GRAPHICS DON’T MAKE A GAME, ELECTRONIC ARTS!!!
We had freaking UNICORNS on The Sims 3... TS4 can't come even close
Babies aren’t objects in the sims 3 as well
OMFG… RIGHT?!?
Babies are a fuk’n waste of time in Sims 4.
i miss being able to drop mp3 formatted songs into the proper folders, so i could listen to any music i want through the radio
You still can in 4.
You still can in the Sims 4.
The online dating was so awkward, my sims male relatives were always on it 😂
On S3? That's weird, I never had that come up. Unless you mean like a brother-in-law for example?
@@OpalMoonstone247 Them too! In-laws and blood relatives were always on the dating website, for some reason. Couldn't romance them, obviously, but I could have messaged them.
Girl... I have most of the expansion, game, and stuff packs for TS4, and it will never take long for me to switch back to the TS3. I've been playing that gane since it came out and I'm still figuring out new things everyday. I could probably play TS3 for a whole day without stopping.
Hey, just asking because I really liked playing TS4 and now want to download TS3. What recommendations do you have for necessary expansion packs? 😊
@@henrikeotzipka6998 I’m here for the same reason 😅
@@henrikeotzipka6998maybe late, but my favorite are late night, supernatural, generations, seasons, pets, and island living. I would say the other packs are more like sims 4 in the sense that they serve like one purpose rather than being part of the entire game experience (other than showtime which just felt lacking to me). But all of those packs are truly game changing and can be used at any time in any world and feel necessary.
@@samstone1718don't forget about world adventure, into the future, ambition, and showtime.
That’s why I asked for Sims 3 for Christmas! (Don’t worry, I’m a child)
I played it for over three hours yesterday, *without getting bored* 🙈
Doesn't matter if you are a child, adult or even older! Sims 3 is superiorrr ! :)
What i like the most about sims 3 is that you can actually choose zodiac signs and yiu can choose colors on everything !
What I like most about Sims 3 is…
…everything. 😂
Everything is the reason sims 3 is better
Except graphics.
@@digthewarmthAnd world progression.
So you know how annoying it is in the sims to create a room and have a couch and arm chair be a different share of brown and not be able to do anything about it! I don't build houses often, but whenever I load up that house I die a little on the inside
I’m glad The Sims 3 didn’t come out when I was about 19 because I would have spent way too much time on it.
It’s the best one by far.
THE COLOR WHEEL! It was like creating your own CC in-game ❤ I miss that the MOST!
Sims 3 gameplay is top tier.
Not to forget burglars WITHOUT MODDING
Literally true, I miss being able to see my sim drive around, have burgulars, etc. I am not a fan of how sims 4 looks graphically compared to sims 3/2. On top of that, direct control on consoles for sims 2 was amazing! Wish we could do that still.
Its good but i just cannot live without the customization of the sim cas in sims 4
Mad respect for running the sims 3 on a laptop. That’s impressive
🤝
OPEN WORLD ❤️ main reason for just loving sims 3
And, even though technology supposedly improved… Sims 4 actually devolved.
I don’t remember Online Dating back in the Sims 3. 😅
I loved how most the sims on the dating apps were married😭😭😭
the lots being seamless to open world and realistic foliage and terrains while ts4 was made cartoony
i love the open world aspect and that I can buy shares in other businesses.
Also with Sims 3 Generations you can teach your teen sims to drive! You take them on actual lessons!
Watching this really just unlocked an hidden memory for me
Sims 4 was such a downgrade
I hate sims 3 community
@@Stopbegging271why? Bcs we say the truth?
i definitely don't miss the online store where individual furniture or create-a-sim items would cost $1-2
Sims 3 would be my fav if it didn’t freeze or crash every 30 min 😭
you have to use nrass modes to make the game smoother. there’s literally no excuse. i play it smoothly on a 5+ old mac 🧍.. not even a pc.
you installed a 14 years old game and expected it to work perfectly without you doing nothing, didn't you? anyways, accoton's sims 3 fix guide video would help you a lot
Give me the Sims 3 but with Sims 4 graphics and I'd be a happy simmer
S4 graphics look worse to me. Those garden plants look so fake and 1D
I feel like EA could have altered loading screens to make it so that our sim is driving to the next place. That way, 2 birds, one stone.
Or… since technology has improved a LOT since Sims 3… maybe NOT go backwards.
It’s not like the new lot has any new features from the lot you just left. It’s just more of the same ole same ole nothing going on.
Sims 4 gameplay+Sims 4 visuals = *a dream*
I would love to try sims 3 but that's a lot of packs that I've heard don't all work properly. On top of that I hate the graphics
Yeah, if you have more than three packs installed then it lags a lot. There are ways to fix it though. Open world and color wheel also make the game lag. They left that information out. Sims 3 is still great though.
Sims 3 got me hooked to keep on supporting the game. Sims 4 made me leave the game. Gay game developed lazy mfs lol
i would like you to try out nraas mods, especially overwatch and errortrap. they help make the game stable.
Yeah the sims 4 sims are much better looking
Yeah personally I enjoy sims 4 more.
I miss this game so much. Sims 2 and 3 were amazing. I tried playing 3 a few weeks ago but it kept pausing for 1-2 minutes every 30 seconds. Didn’t have that issue on my old laptop.
To be honest i prefer the sims 2 but i love the sims 3 too!
So true… and you could also edit the whole town, put/ remove buildings, place lots where there arent any, its amazing
Yeah but the lack of hair styles is killing me. It’s like almost pointless having sim babies cause the hair is just 😩
TS4 babies are nothing more than pointless objects. 😩
I heard sims 3 crash due to error problems often compared to other version of the sims, the lag is a problem too especially when driving because every near plot load and unload as you pass.
dont forget pets (being able to control them like sims + the fact that horses come with cats and dogs instead of being split into a seperate dlc)
They should add serial killers to online dating to make it more realistic
THANKS FOR THIS. Sims 3 has been my favourite game since forever. I have played Sims 4 before but its not has entertaining until you put some mods lmao. Sims 4 will never reach Sims 3 level of gameplay. Period.
Hey, just asking because I really liked playing TS4 and now want to download TS3. What recommendations do you have for necessary expansion packs? 😊
@@henrikeotzipka6998me too, I played Sims 4 on my pc, downloaded all available mods, made possibilities but still it lacks a personal feel to it. So I decided to install Sims 3 last night & downloaded some good mods, then I pretty enjoyed it until now.
The open-world map without loading screens, snappy Sims interactions (no freezing Sim, unlike in Sims 4), and everything is just so refined. ❤
@henrikeotzipka6998 Generations is the only EP I don't have (and I'm not getting it for personal reasons), but it's highly recommended in the community. I personally recommend Ambitions and Seasons. Ambitions in particular is an absolute must-have.
Garbage community that keep saying that sims 3 is better than sims 4
Spiral staircases. Spiral staircases were the focal point in almost all my houses.
I bought the Sims 4, and i genuinely tried really hard to like it... Unfortunately all of my favorite features were taken out, so I just went back to TS3 and thought about TS4 again..
I'm just waiting for TS5, I'm hoping they will bring back all the important features...
car, bike and broomstick as well from the Supernatural pack
I play Sims 4 for 3 days before I switched back to Sims 3.
Plastic Surgery at the hospital, loved thay feature
U forgot 5th big reason Burglars
I wish that the sims 4 must add the sims 3 function, like have sims 4 graphics and some gameplay and combine the sims 3 functions and gameplay that would be so amazing
Sims 3 Rocks!
Hey, just asking because I really liked playing TS4 and now want to download TS3. What recommendations do you have for necessary expansion packs? 😊
@@henrikeotzipka6998 hi! you said this a while ago but I would 100% recommend sims 3! however, it can crash easily. For example I have a MacBook Air 2020, I can only play it if airplane mode is on and if I deactivated I cloud, or it won't work. Also the game has tons of bugs, most of them can be fixed my clearing the cache or using community bug fixes (mods) but it just take sometime to fix these problems and may take multiple tries. Generations, ambitions, and world adventures are so fun! I also love into the future. I grew up with both games and sims 3 is much better in my opinion I cant play sims 4 anyone cause of how boring it is in comparison. But make sure your computer is compatible!
My sister played Sims 3 a long time and now Sims 4. She is really into these games. She once told me all the things Sims 3 does better than Sims 4 and it is a lot . But at the end she told me she prefers Sims 4 because of the huge developed emotions system and when my sister tells me which game actually is better, I belief her. Sims is really her cup of tea 😂
Unpopular opinion: I'm not too mad about not having open world in the sims4. I always found it really annoying when your sim has a slow car and it takes ages for them to drive across town.
However open neighbourhoods would be nice in the sims4 so you could visit your neighbours easily
Imagine the lags 😖
I remember I loved the teleporting and how cooked fish was shiny and how accurate I could get a sim to look like a celebrity and the seasons pack worked nicely, I miss the sims 3
but where it lacks.. the graphics and character models >_< omg. I'd much rather have a more visually appealing game with mods, but that's just me ;D
I was never able to play the sims 3, but honestly it always looks so much funner than the sims 4 when I see people playing it online
Looking at your video makes me love The Sims 3 again 😊
I think what’s even better than the color wheel is that you can change textures. A simple pair of pants can be changed from basic to glam to goth to dirty to vintage… and you can change the color of the pattern.
Ok but the graphics 😭
I don’t like Sims 3’s online dating because a lot of the townies who use it are married.
But you def can't play sims 3 in vanilla version cause of the lags. Nraas is my bff now. Before nraas it was hell to play sims 3.
I play vanilla withlile no lag. I actually experienced more lag with brass and cc
I really wanna play sims 3 but it performs shit on mine (even though it has nraas). Half-second freezing when I click on any sim, screen tearing even when I enable vsync and limit frames to 59-60 fps, fps keeps jumping to a wide range of lower values instead of being consistent... I guess I'll just stick with my heavily modded sims 4 that somehow still runs fine :(
@@inzanity490 get ya specs up dawg. That open world really takes a toll on the performance. That's the main reason sims 4 ain't open world
but since when can you play vanilla the sims 4 😭? the simulation lag, the crazy change of emotions, the lack of features & personality.. i used to have dozens of mods on ts4, while on ts3 i only use seven or so. and it depends baby. like, i also love nraas mods but errortrap & overwatch totally break my ts3, even if they are good for everyone else. i must be cursed.
nrass story progression makes my game lag too much as well 🥲
I only recently discovered your family can own multiple houses and move between them with a click of a button.
Reasons why I like the sims 4 more: it doesn’t freeze. Sims 3 was pretty much unplayable without mods getting it to work for me and even with all the mods I downloaded to stop the constant freezing it still freezes constantly ugh.
TS4 doesn’t freeze because it only has 10% of the features of TS3.
The color wheel was top tier. That is the one thing I REALLY really miss. Bring it back!!! 👏
Electronic Arts will offer many of the TS3 features - as if they’re doing something new and innovative. 🙄
The babies
this coloring is literally everything, you can make really cool hacks with it
S3 is more like the sequel to s4
I'd play sims 3 way more often if it wasn't so buggy to the point of being unplayable 😭
Yeah but at least sims 4 can run on my laptop 😂
Maybe you don’t have a good pc because it works fine for everyone else
lol, my friend tried to play ts4 on her pc and it didn't work... now she's playing ts3 on her girlfriend's pc.
btw! the online dating comes with Seasons in the game. i only noticed that because i don't particularly like to play with seasons in my game
Every longtime simmer knows 2 and 3 are the best of the sims 4 franchise. Only people who complained about sims 3 seem to be people with really shitty computers to be honest.
Also - love your music choice :)
Man, the Gus' and Hank's profiles tho 😭💀
I dont like sims 4. Sims 3is better than sims 4
I hate when someone says THAT.
Sims 3 was pretty ahead of its time. Sims 4 doesn't even compare to Sims 3, no wonder they made it free.
Hank?
Oh wa-
Hank is at my sims job as a policeman 😔😔
Heard from a friend that the stair railings can be placed manually (like fences and walls) in sims 3. I really hate the top of the railing sticking up from the wall in sims 4.
I miss having my household wander all around the open world playing them all at once, the kids playing in the park, the teen to the gym, an adult having a custom designed stage to perform on all the while ur plumbot is cooking something up for when they get home and ur plantsim generating a small fortune in the backyard garden, ahh those were the days
Alas my sims 3 was on an account I can no longer get into but I miss it so much. It's was so much fun and I would always Chang colors and the create a sim area was better cause it looked like an actual room and the pet pack had everything from guinea pig to horses and the ability to play as your pet was a real thing you could do.
