One of my favorite things about sims 3 was sending my pregnant sims to the spa and bookstores to get treatments and baby books so my baby would have good traits, absolutely miss the stress of making sure the kids turned out well
I just started playing sims3 and I didn't even know there was a spa, my pregnant sim kept wanting a massage and her ain't shit babydaddy didn't have a option to give her one lol😂
Y’know something I miss from The Sims 3 that NO ONE ever seems to bring up? Opportunities. Like, even if you somehow got bored of the game, you could always find a little fun side-quest to keep you busy. And you didn’t even need expansions for this or anything, they built upon the feature the more packs you bought. With the Sims 4 though, if you get bored cause you’ve pretty much done everything...that’s pretty much it, because there’s no depth to anything.
Actually, Sims 3 will grind it saves to a corrupted halt due to a bug that spawns huge numbers of cars in townies' inventories, so you do need NRAAS Overwatch to stop that from happening. MasterController is also useful to get around game-breaking bugs. Meanwhile the only mod I have for Sims 4 is "no React With Disgust" but I suppose that's because I play enough games, the vanilla (with most of the expansions) experience is enough for me. That's not to say I couldn't whine up a storm about all the problems Sims 4 DOES have, butanyways.
@@tirsden - I utilized MasterController to the extreme when I played. I edited how big the population could be a lot. Mostly cause I had an older computer and I wanted the game to run as smoothly as I could make it. Edited my computer settings for when games were being played, in-game settings, NRAAS mods. Lol
a little thing that sums up why I love ts3 so much: I sent my kid to prep school and she called her brother and said "today at prep school I learned how to fake sincerity. so, uh... i love you so much. bye."
My sim had a baby with a random guy and she is shamed for having a baby out of wedlock. It's mean asf but small things like this make the game more realistic. You can punch someone in the sims 4 and nobody will care 💀
I don’t care about the lagginess. The little things in TS3 were so cute and showed that the devs put a lot of effort into it. I wish we had that in TS4.
Honestly, the sims 3 doesn't have as much lag as it should! I noticed with the sims 4, there's so much interaction lag and its more unbearable than sims 3.
The sims 3 made me literally cry! I had a generation challenge going, one of my sims died and her wife, who she had met as a kid briefly and then reunited with in adulthood and fell into a beautiful relationship, had a longer lifespan than hers because of one of her traits, but eventually when she died as well I placed both of their graves on the cemetery next to each other. I thought nothing of it. But their son was out looking for collectibles one day and thought I could send him to the graveyard for rare things. As soon as I zoom into the graveyard I notice two ghosts dancing, and then hugging. It was the couple!!! Even after death they still loved each other. I sat there and cried for a good 10 minutes before I could unpause the game again.
That's beautiful, Sims 3 sims did really keep track of their own relationships... for the most part. I was truly horrified as I watched one of my own sims in NPC mode come over to a sim I was playing in the current household at the time, and the NPC pulled my sim into a huge kiss. The NPC sim's husband was on the lot, and freaked the flip out. This is a couple I had worked hard on during previous gameplay. I only realized later that a random townie witch had probably cast the kissing spell on the NPC sim and he had kissed my sim since I was the first person to talk to him after the spell... but that changes nothing for how awful I felt, especially when I saw the notification go by that the NPC's husband was not interested in fixing their relationship and had moved on. I ended up fixing their relationship myself later on, when I played that household again. That game really needs a relationship/loyalty lock on individual sims. So does Sims 4, for that matter, though cheating doesn't seem to have nearly the same impact in Sims 4 as it does in 3.
@@tirsden this sounds awesome!! I love when unpredictable and uncontrollable things happen in TS3, like the game actively helping with story building and stirring up drama so it’s not all just in your head like in TS4
This is so devastating to hear. You cant even do this in sims 4. No relationship building, no souls, just there as a test subject for builds and torture rooms
@@rainbowgeekster866 this, I have a feeling that The Sims 4 is truely a social experiment. It's wiplash switching between the two games, so much so they couldn't have been developed by the same people. I guess the team wasn't expecting it to blow up in popularity like it did, hopefully The Sims 4 will give them the tools to make a great game.
The Sims 3 is the only game that I can sit down and play all day. So many great memories associated with this game! I literally remember being 12 playing this for 3 days straight 😄 🤣 The MUSIC is lit 🔥
yup its the only one where i can actually play multiple generations, sims 4 i usually cant get past the first gen's children being kids before i get bored
Yess I remember loading it for the first time, it was late at night and my mom was sitting with me while we figured it out together lol and then just spending hours on it without even realizing it haha
My favorite thing about The Sims 3: continuation of life. Sometimes when my Sim is doing something at home, I enlarge the map and watch what happens on the streets. I witness people coming home from work, chatting with each other, fighting, births and deaths. Sometimes I even look inside houses from their windows :) Life continues outside of my house. No fake houses. There are many people. Absolutely my favorite game.
I played my longest play to see all my lifelong (sims) friend die of old age , and it was devastating. I stopped playing the game for years after that - other "short plays" didn't have the same effect on me. If you become attached enough to a virtual life then it can be painful to see the end of them.
Yeah that’s what I love the most. I have a mod that lets you start fires anywhere you want, so I made my park into a prison and since the world is open, I was able to burn half the town’s population Interesting note: it turns out Deaths can only occur if your Sim is in the lot where the death occurred, so I had to set up a watch tower where my sim would stay and wait for the sims to burn
My experience exactly!!! What’s got me even more surprised is that they recognize it even if the name is not the exact same name - for example, my sim’s wife name is Azu, and I named the star “Zuzu”, the game still recognizes it. I think that is hella cool
@@erlindaa.n.4823 oh that's amazing! I later decided to name another star after my sim's daughter (Hannah) and the game got confused and attributed it to the wife (Ann) again haha
@@erlindaa.n.4823 hmmm I actually don't know anymore whether there was a notification for only one or both of them, it's been like 6 or 7 years 🤔 something to test out heh
@@Sara-dp5dg ik that the Mac 64 bit version is coming pretty soon and the newest update of the Mac only allows for 64 bit applications. So many people can't even play the game now
"My autism is shining!" As a fellow autistic person, it always brings me such joy to hear things like this. We deserve to enjoy our autistic selves. So uplifting. And yes, 'tis shining indeed. And I'm smiling. :) It's so nice to see you talking more openly about being autistic (tho you're never obligated to; it's always your call). It really seems like you've got more confident / bold about that, and I'm proud of you. Also thank you so much for doing another TS3 video! I play 3 way more than 4 so it's always so nice to feel like my fave is being visited and isn't just some forgotten relic.
"I had undiagnosed autism and they painted me as a naughty child. Which I was, to be fair; I was." This is the (genuinely) relatable content I come here for. Well, this and the top-notch, unequalled-by-any-other-UA-camr editing.
i'm autistic, too!!! i literally scrolled through the comments looking for someone saying this. it's really nice to hear ppl talk about their autism, i love hearing about other autistic creators!!
it’s so funny bc as somebody with adhd i deal with a lot of the same stuff and so whenever jesse says that it’s always abt something i do/thot was “”normal”” so i’m always like that’s not just??? existing??
It’s awesome to see wholesome autistic people! The only autistic people I’ve ever met are super toxic and use their diagnoses as a crutch to act like a total weirdo! You guys are all so nice ❤️ Edit: ok so a lot of you guys really mistook my comment and I’m so sorry that it came across like that. By “toxic” I didn’t mean the symptoms of having autism. I meant the people that I’ve met at school that purposely insult and take other people’s things and then say “oh I have autism so it’s ok.” It wasn’t their autism that made them act like this, it was the way they were raised. They were raised to believe that they are different, that their autism gives them an excuse to be treated like they should be on a pedestal. The teachers at my school would never correct them, and my brother got detention one time because an autistic kid stole his pencil, he stole it back, and the kid tattled to the teacher that my brother “stole his pencil.” Now my brother is a sweet kid. He even made friends with an autistic girl, Sarah. She would talk about Undertale and fnaf all the time, and she was so passionate about what she loved. But she would cry and scream all the time during the school day. It was obvious how she was mistreated and that she was sheltered while growing up. The teachers never helped her. I tried to help her the best I could, by calming her down and trying to help her understand that screaming when something didn’t go your way wasn’t ok. Now I’m no expert on autism. You guys have made me understand that. Nor did I ever think I was. But I’ve had an interesting history with them. It’s nice to meant people that are kind, sweet, wholesome, and understanding even though they still have autism. But I can also see how much it has harmed a lot of you. You guys have mentioned being bullied, and being called a “weirdo” because your brain doesn’t function like others. And that’s not ok. You all deserve better. You deserve to live the same as everyone else. So what if your brain doesn’t function the same? Big deal. You’re all living human beings with thoughts and feelings and beautiful personalities. No one should take away that awesome spirit that each and everyone of you have. And the fact that you’re all willing to defend and help people in your community is amazing! I hope that I can educate people that I know with the knowledge that you’ve all given me today. I hope that Sarah will meet other people like you guys someday too!
The fact that the sims 4 team missed out on key gameplay elements that are SO EASY and make SUCH a difference is embarrassing. Sims players aren't opposed to the concept of rabbit holes. Having a physical school or grocery store that just happens to be a rabbit hole makes a WORLD of difference, compared to your sim leaving every day for work or school, and never seeing the school bus or the carpool, never seeing the building they work in, etc. they didn't need to reinvent the wheel with the sims 4 but they somehow made it more boring, which is impressive
EA treats Sims the same as their sports games, it's all about DLC. Upcoming Skin changes are a prime example. Color Wheels etc have always been possible. But unless people complain enough it's not worth the $$ to EA. They could open world the game, with patches and world updates. They could add vehicles, create a style. There is nothing that prevents them except $$. Sims 4 has become a $700+ game, think on that a minute. For $700 shouldn't this game be mind blowing? People shouldn't be looking back at Sims 3 and wondering why it could do things Sims 4 can't.
I started playing the sims during Sims 3 era and randomly decided to play sims 2....that game is spectacular!! I really only play the sims 4 for looks and mods
Why would I ever skip the intro? It's always pure hen perfection. Also, it's upsetting that years from now people will NOT be as excited about replaying the Sims 4 like Plumbella is loading up the Sims 3. And I believe that to be a fact.
I just had a mild panic as I feel like something would have to go TERRIBLY wrong with The Sims 5 for us to feel such joy and delight while loading 4 and I really hope that doesn't happen 😂
It was better because sims 3 already had a complete base game. They had implanted everything needed to make a rich and playable base game and that's why Katy perry sweet treats wasn't as terrible as stars wars pack. Sims 4 base game still has fundamental issues that hasn't been addressed yet after 6 years.
I have a love-hate relationship with the Create-A-Style in Sims 3, because I absolutely loved using it to make my house look phenomenal, but I could easily spend 3 to 4 hours just designing my house.
I have so many save files in the sims 3. I love adding drama to my games. One time I had two gay couples one, a wlm relationship and a mlm relationship. I made one of the two partners cheat and it was chaos they both had bad reputation and I probably laughed for 5 minutes straight. The Sims 3 is the best game ever!
Sims 1, 2 and 3 are all fantastic games in their own ways. Sims 4 feels like a few people worked together to do the bare minimum over dozens of packs just to get paid, surviving on the franchise name alone.
Im play sim 4 , the house cant build anywhere and the boring ... The graphic was better than sim3 but yeah!! No car , and so on.. i would buy sim3 instead sim4 😂😂😂😂😂
If Sims 5 is Sims 3 enhanced to player requests then the legend will live on. If instead it is a cash grab following Sims 4 then we should just cherish the memory of something that once was.
I never dragged the whole style, I'd save it as a custom swatch and set it for each item (which in hindsight is a bit more tedious). Though I would often drag individual color swatches to different items that I wanted to match, for instance if I made a custom chair and wanted the table to have the same wood. And for some things I'd drag individual colors to different items, like if I wanted the curtains to be the same color as one of the shades in the chairs' cushion pattern. GOD do I miss this level of customization! I really hate how things in TS4 just don't match and I have to choose items based on color scheme rather than style to make rooms cohesive.
Me, wanting to tell you "No, that's too hot and you shouldn't have the laptop on your lap if you're running TS3 - put it on a desk!!" Also me, knowing full damn well I still have a weird patch of skin on my leg from where my laptop burned me because I was playing World Adventures and it overheated on my lap... "I have nothing to say."
@amanda kenya nah, you try building in it hun or try to have kids that are just clones of each other. Yah the story aspects of the sims2 were amazing but everything else 🤐
@@Paloma-qs3he imagine having to download mods to have a good playing experience lol I can play the sims 3 for hours everyday even without mods. I've been playing it unmodded for many many years, it was only at the ending of 2019 that I decided to try and play with story progression mod and I only needed 1 mod to be satisfied. Sims 2 is good, it has many animations details and mechanics that are incredible, I can see and respect that, but you need many many mods to make it truly and deeply enjoyable.
@@gamzmakarena not really, at least for me i only have a few mods to fix graphics, the corruption, general problems like the clones. i have sims 3 too and ive tried story progression but i still prefer sims 2 gameplay sorry u.u
I loved the fact that sims 3 traits have an impact on sims relationships too! Your sims have harder times having good relationships if the other sim has opposing traits.
Ikr! I just started playing Sims 3 and it took my Sims a complete Sims week to finally get this guy to like her but since he had commitment issue he didn't want to date just f*ck around and now my sim is pregnant he want to act like a salty babydaddy 🤦 I just found out by making my sim go to his house for the first time a notification popped up saying he is freaking rich!! I'm so pissed off he got me and my baby living in a starter home all poor and sh*t😤
@@kld6 My sim was proper and she found out that her best friend had the inappropriate trait. I have never seen such a disgusted look when they found out lol
YES! I had THE most incredible, iconic Sims moment in 3 a few weeks ago - my child Sim had one best friend since Elementary School who shared her Loner trait, so I thought they'd be a cute couple. I got them to go steady, go to prom together, and shortly after she aged up to Young Adult I was like, why NOT have them get married straight away? My Sim is down on one knee proposing, their relationship is great, I'm already planning their lives together when it happens - her Sim boyfriend shakes his head no, and she gets up, devastated. I am in SHOCK wondering wtf is going on when it happens, the little notification appears "Kaya has learned that Omar is Insane" - I DIED. I couldn't even be mad, I was straight up impressed, Sims 3 had surprised me in a way that I'd forgotten Sims games could after playing 4 for so long.
The thing I loved about Sim 3 aspirations was that it actually felt like you completed a life long dream. I remember when I used to play it, I really had to work my ass off just complete it. And the amount of points you get was suuuuper worth it. I feel like with sims 4 it’s just a continuous completion of some random wishes. Like it doesn’t feel special anymore?? You complete one aspiration as if it’s just another chore, it’s just too easy to achieve for a main aspiration. Also, the personalities give so much opportunities for stories to be created! My friend mentioned to me that she was playing her family with 3 generations in sims 3. The main chick she was focusing on within the family was receiving so much bad luck like her husband died, children died before her, had a freaking baby sitter steal her baby (bug). While her sister, which my friend didn’t focus on, fell in love with her childhood friend n got married had two children and died a happy life. She didn’t even touch this sim yet they created relationships and had SOULS. Sims 4 sims could never. They cant even take care of themselves. My sim KITERALLY died because he had no idea why he was cold when he was wearing sports clothes outdoor during winter time 🤦🏽♀️ sims 3 sims would’ve changed clothes by theirselves.
I understand why Sims 4 wasn’t open world, but I don’t understand why there’s no gameplay.😂 Like what stopped EA from having groceries stores, bookstores, cemeteries, picnics, schools, resorts, color wheels, CONTENT, etc. (I can go on for days)?
When try to achieve aspirations in Sims 4 I feel like someone is forcing me to play specific unlike Sims 3 you can choose to play however you want, because it's up to you how you achieve your life aspiration. Freedom for your stories. Tbh so much gameplay of Sims 4 is to do specific tasks to achieve bigger goal I feel like I'm being told how I should play Sims.
Yes! That's the thing I hate most about aspirations in the sims 4. It's like you have to follow this specific path to achieve it and it gets repetitive quickly, but with lifetime wishes in sims 3 it's so much easier to forge your own path to achieve it. Heck even the aspirations system in sims 2 was better since at least the wants in it changed daily unlike in sims 4 where all the tasks for all aspirations stay the same.
True. The lifetime wish in Sims 3 can be reached on different paths and the small wishes they have are more of a better version of the whims. There's no railroading you into the way you play, there's just the decision what your sim will strive for in their life and then your decisions when and how and if you will have them reach that.
@@Deadcat323 Yes, that's true. EA wanted for it to be an online multiplayer game, then learned that the target audience wasn't into online mulitplayer and changed it to singleplayer. That might explain why the sims have little character and there's no story or development for NPCs (unlike in previous games) - all of that was meant to be supplied by the players when interacting with each other.
@@judi1009 its free if you already have the sims 3 installed! it appeared on my origin earlier but says only for mac, not so sure about steam or anything else though sorry :)
One of my favorite features was how when u placed the same tree, it would make it slightly smaller or slightly bigger so if you wanted to have a full forrest area or reuse one type of tree it didn’t look copy-pasted. i didn’t know how much i would miss that until ts4 made the landscape in your backyards look unnaturally identical
I agree! It's such a seemingly simple thing but it makes a world of difference.. figuratively and literally! The variation in size was wonderful and really made it feel more realistic in a sense.
The Sims 3 with all (or most) expansions truly is a massive, unique, and immersive game. If it were somehow optimised to reduce crashes and lag, it would be a near perfect game, and the best Sims game by far, imo.
I've found that playing the game without fast forwarding fixed most if not all of my crashes and performance issues, sure it sucks, but I've learned to use the time my sims take to sleep or work to play other sims or clean around the house, stuff like that
I think you are referring to the very simple fact that Sims 3 was an OPEN WORLD!!!!! Its not hard to figure out, open worlds have been around since 2010; Sims 4 was a weird throwback!?!
“You can have whatever eye colour you want” *flashback to when ALL my sims would have neon eyes bc I loved the shiny quality to them (my personal favourite was neon purple eyes)*
I remember when I first got The Sims 3. That open world was so amazing. I just couldn’t believe there was a Sims game with an open world. The Sims 2 will always be dear to me, but nothing compares to The Sims 3’s open world gameplay!
Man, I miss being able to let one of my sims go to the neighbors house without having to interrupt what everyone else in the household are doing. That, more than the loading screen, is why my sims don't tend to leave their house :((((
Literally playing ts4 is like playing inside a box. the fake outside world and loading screen discourages you from EVER leaving your house! ALSO it is so unrealistic that you can just FLY to another world just to go to work everyday
Omg yes all of this!!!! I was playing Sims 4 and I have a family of 8 HAHAHA and literally, you can't have any single one of them do anything because it takes away from the rest of the family... it's frustrating.
I played Sims 3 for the first time about a month ago, and I was completely overwhelmed with the gameplay. It truly is limitless, and like you I am a family simmer so it was perfect for my play style. Sims 4 is a pretty game, but 3 is definitely a lot more fun for me :) Sims 2 was my first sims game and that has a special place in my heart too. Loved the video! Cant wait for the next one.
@Floris van Engelen seriously! i did this and its so much better. the absolute must for sims 3 for me like not even counting any mods or anything is something to limit the fps!
Tbh, it's a miracle that my laptop didn't explode on me back when I played S3 alot, that old thing didn't even have a graphics card! When I was out shopping for a new laptop my only criteria was that it would be able to run S3. I ended up buying a $2k laptop because I want nothing but the best to play my Sims 3.
@@lolakenz2857 It's probably a little overkill but I've heard so many stories of it not being very well optimized, even on modern PCs. So I went as overkill as I was willing to afford. 😅 My sister went to me when she was shopping for a laptop for working at home due to the pandemic, she asked which ones were good for running S3. Anything to play our beloved Sims 3. ;)
I found my old sims 3 games today and I was actually EXCITED when playing. There were so many traits and life goals to give my sims and so many things I had not yet done in the world even tho I have played it for over 1000 hours. With the sims 4 it feels like the game has NO SOUL. The sims 4 makes me feel nothing and that's why the sims 3 is superior
To everyone here with lags and too long (I'm talking about 10-30 minutes long) loading screens, I have some tips for you that may help (helped me a lot and my laptop is six years old, turns seven next month) ✨ • Get to know your device's specs, like graphics card, CPU and RAM; you don't have to be a professional, but at least learn what especially your graphics card was built for initially (googling does the trick), it's important to actually know how well it handles games in general (e.g. an NVidia GTX is/was made especially for gaming, while a GT wasn't). With that 'knowledge', you can optimize your settings better (it's a lot of trial and error tbh) • Google "Sims 3 optimal settings" and follow trustworthy tutorials (I can link one in case someone needs it), most if not all of them explain why certain settings are better than others and how they affect the gameplay • turn off the interactive loading screen, this is very important and saves a lot of time (and you don't need the small amount of aspiration points it gives you) • turn off memories (I'm not sure how they're called, like these yellowish notifications about stuff your Sims does (seen around 13:00 in the video, the notifications Jesse clicks away). I cannot properly explain why memories take up resources as I'm not sure about it myself (I'm not a professional 😅), but once I turned them off out of curiosity, I found my game to run more smoothly and also you don't get spammed with notifications every time your Sims does something remotely interesting - this feature is just plain unnecessary in my opinion, like, you know what they're doing and also these "screenshots" the game takes of the captured event always look terrible • if you're comfortable with modding (it's so easy to do, there's many great tutorials 😇), get into NRaas mods that actually clean up your towns (I can link you these ones too). My bf got me into these mods (esp. traffic, overwatch, register) and they're simply amazing and easy to use! They catch a lot of errors and prevent crashing, you have full control over things like paparazzis, wild animals etc. (you can 'delete' them so they don't even spawn, which again saves resources resulting in less lags, but also I hate paparazzis so I just get rid of them 😂), they clean up things you don't even think about (did you know that, for instance, some TVs or stereos don't turn themselves off, so your pc has to process multiple of those running at the same time all while you play - that eats up resources as well, and Overwatch takes care of those issues and turns them off) Some advanced tips: • if you're super into CC and have lots of it installed (like I do 🥰), consider watching tutorials about merging package files. Merging packages can actually help reduce loading times when it comes to build/buy or even CAS • you can even convert Sims3packs into packages and merge them as well (I haven't tried that yet, but my favorite Simmer said it works well for her - I'd link her tutorials but she's German, but I'm sure there's English tutorials about that as well) I probably forgot some tips, but these really helped me enhance my gaming experience! Feel free to add more and I hope this was helpful ✨
The title of this video makes me so happy. I’ve tried the Sims 4 but I was incredibly deceived by the cartoon-looking sims and the lack of an open world as well as the small number of lots, families, etc. So I never left the Sims 3 and I love it, yesterday I was just playing my Sim in Bridgeport. I really hope that the Sims 5 will be good but if not, I’ll never leave the Sims 3, to me this is the best game of the franchise
Bridgeport is my absolute favorite too! I love city worlds, and it’s so cool when you use the third-person mod with your Sims in the world. You don’t get the same feel in other pre-made worlds.
There's a lot I love about the game but one of the things that caught me by surprise is that in certain occasions, you can get arrested and then go to jail. They take your items from the inventory (I only had a tomato but alright) and could choose to chat with the prisioners until I got permission to come out. It's one of many details that make me like it.
Sims 4 was originally going to be an online only game, but after the Sim City fiasco they had to quickly throw something together. They should've just started over from scratch but EA was greedy and forced them to release a subpar game.
I believe Sims 3 was EA's last creation before they changed the company's leadership to a group of old businessmen that don't understand or care for the gaming industry other than that it sells well. And after that point, EA have only been releasing products that have been cheap to produce and lacking proper content but sell the games for ridiculously high prices. Sims 4 is a perfect example of how a company base their sales off of hype or trends but don't actually care for the gamers.
@Deh Well there's a skeleton maid with Jungle Adventure in the sims 4, I think you have to complete every temples. but it was so fun to have Bonehilda tho
@@KreeZafi *Deep Inhale* Yeeess!! This bothered me quite a bit. When I first saw them I wondered: 'Why do they look like tiny adults?' There is no variation between the two life stages.
I only had two expansion packs for the sims 3 and I remember not needing anymore I was totally fine with only two. But I could not imagine playing the sims 4 with only two packs that would be even more boring than it already is 💀
I only had living large for sims 2 and supernatural for sims 3 and still could build houses all day and create sims for hours before even just playing.
For me, The Sims 5 should have all the good things of every version combined and even improve upon. Features list: (good things of every version) The Sims 1: - Spooky, horrors musics play when a burglar comes or receiving a prank call. The Sims 2: - Deep storylines with interconnected relationships around the town. These interesting and mysterious stories make my imaginations go wild. - Wants and Fears - Turn ons & turn offs - Cutscenes - Ghosts in The Sims 2 are more mysterious. They can scare your sims, make objects fly but can never talk to sims like human beings and that creates creepy atmosphere. For me, it’s more interesting that way. - Highly detailed objects than The Sims 4. - Animations that go along with the topics being discussed. - Detailed animations about everything in general like a sim grabbing cooking utensils from a drawer when cooking, sims actually grabbing a slice of pizza one by one (not a slice of pizza magically appear in a sim’s hand while the whole pizza is still intact.), sims playing a real chess game, moving a piece to its real position, taking out a captured piece (not the pieces magically transport to their positions), sims actually get in a car, etc. You can watch The Sims 2 details that aren’t in TS3 & TS4 on UA-cam ua-cam.com/video/LlWEvlW9jbY/v-deo.html The Sims 3: - Open world (but with optimized code and less buggy of course!) - Color wheel and slider for CAS and build & buy mode. - Create-A-Style - 5 traits per sim - Bunker beds that aren’t modded - Opportunities - the 4th speed through tasks button The Sims 4: - Good-looking sims - Push and pull CAS - Build & buy mode in this game is amazing and with the platform it’s beyond amazing! - Multitasks - Emotions with sentiments - The Sims 4 graphics are nice but they’re a little too cartoony like a dollhouse instead of a life simulation. I want it to have better lighting and more realistic graphics while retaining cartoony looks at the same time, like Disney Pixar graphics. If The Sims 5 have these features I mentioned above, it will be the best game of all time!
@@teacoffee42 Unfortunately, EA might know by now they can continue making an incomplete game as long as simmers are keep buying it. I’m not surprised they aim for the least amount of work that still earn them profit. I really hope the Sims 5 can prove me wrong though.
No, Sims 4 was a major wrong turn!!! Sims 5 needs to be SIms 3 with the fan requested improvements. You do not understand that EA only wants your money, not a fun game experience.
If you miss it, why don't you play it? Sims 4 is not the only playable Sims game. If it's the lag, this is the fix: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1131162350
I've gone back to Sims 3 recently and it's brought me so much genuine enjoyment. It has such deep gameplay! My sim just changed careers because his evil acts caught the attention of the criminal career and they made him an offer, which is such a great detail. Lol I don't think it's super playable without Nraas mods, but with them it runs fine.
Yeah, the Sims 4 career invite calls just feel like spam by comparison. "We at [job category] think you are a perfect fit! We'll hire you at [level you qualify for according to the math regarding your skills, college degrees, reward perks, etc]. Also, I'm quite possibly one of your own played Sims in NPC mode who isn't even in this career, but who's counting!?"
When I was about 10 and played the Sims 3 each of my sims had a different neon color and everything they had was the same color. The clothes and house, all neon.
I remember when the sims 3 came out. I played absolutely endless hours and never ran out of different stuff to do. The expansion packs, the towns, the open world, the create a style tool… IMO the sims 3 holds up better than the sims 4 and I want a remastered version of the sims 3 one day. It’s so special to me ❤️
Let me just say this, and I mean this in the "nicest" way possible (no I don't): Anytime I see someone post about the Sims 3, it makes me hate the Sims 4 team even more. I mean open worlds, cars, world editor, create a style/color wheel, etc. They even gave us all that in the....wait for it... BASE GAME ffs. Sims 4 came out and they said "what's a dishwasher? idk. toddlers? never heard of em!...etc." SO much content for every pack and, again, the BASE GAME in the Sims 3. The Sims 4 comes out with packs like Luxury Party for $10 with like 8 items. Nonsense. Oh, and the ability to download OTHER neighborhoods that DIDNT REPLACE CURRENT ONES (yes I am looking at you Sims 4), was such a great feature. The Sims 3 was and still is ahead of its time. The Sims 4 was more a sequel to the Sims 1 (since even the Sims 2 offered swatches you could mix n match, etc.). I really hope the Sims 5 is what the Sims 3 was with less crashing lol
The Sims 4 base had no toddlers, no pools, no ghosts, no cars, no burglars, etc. Good things they added some of them now but there’s still no functional cars or burglar. The Sims 2 also has so many little detailed animations that TS3 & TS4 don’t have. And I love The Sims 2 stories about entangled relationships between families around the neighborhood. The Sims 4 stories are unimportant and uninteresting. There’s no relationship between families. The Sims 3 with TS2 stories and detailed animations with TS4 good looking sim faces would be fantastic.
With my new computer, I can play sims 3 with the graphics all on high, all my expansion packs and a few mods, and let me tell you the game is top notch. Best Sims game imo. Gorgeous world, near endless things to do, actual personality, open world, and despite the reputation for "ugly sims," i disagree. you can in fact make good looking sims.
I always loved how the sims looked in the sims 3, I don’t understand why many people seem to dislike them so much. I think the sims 4 sims look worst than the sims 3 sims. I always use a default skin or skin details in the sims 4, but never, even now, have I felt the need to change the look of the sims 3 sims...
@@EvaWatchesUA-cam I'm guessing you never played any of the previous game then? Coming from playing TS1 and TS2, the sims in TS3 looked awful, they look like potatoes.
ugh I'm so glad you made this video. I recently went back to the sims 3 and I've been playing every day non-stop. Though it feels like it's not as popular, I know there's still a big community that appreciates it. The sims team really put their best work into this game, and it's nice because it's actually worth every penny lol.
Me: Has always been a sims 4 fan Also me: Just bought sims 3 and can officially say I AGREE. IT IS THE BEST GAME IVE EVER PLAYED. sure I’m still learning how to play BUT ITS MAJESTIC Edit: can anyone tell me how to play/give me tips? I’m really confused
I've played the sims for like 16 or 17 years and I remember how fking excited I was to play the sims 3 back in 2009, I got it for my birthday and IMMEDIATELY installed it. I LOVED THAT YOU COULD GO TO A SIMS HOUSE and WATCHING THEM GO IN CARS. I made Agnes Crumplebottom and Jamie Jolina fall in love and it soothed my young gay heart
The sims 3 was just so much more in depth and easier to create a story. The open world and being able to stalk people all over and the whole world felt like it was more real and constantly running. In the sims 4 or 2 it feels more closed off to just your active household. Sims 3 im running 3 or 4 families at a time using open world. Sims 4 feels like once someone leaves ur household they're gone and useless and the story hardly progresses. Sims 3 is just so much more deep, small detials and way more stuff to do. It still runs amazing on my 2012 acer laptop. The families in sunset Valley and their stories are so interesting too.
I love Sims 3. Will always be my favorite. I don’t have any big issues with the game. Did it need improvements yes. But it’s no where as bad as people says it is.
This!! Ive always been stuck with low end computers so a game being slow/lagging isnt really an issue for me, I have patience to deal with it but I also like to remind people that sims 3 is massive once you have most packs installed and theres a constant change of events going on in the background. The game doesnt only check on your sims but it also has to keep all the other townies active and have them progress and roam around the neighborhood. Its a super impressive game once you think about it.

@@emeraldaize I know I'm 2 months late lol, sorry, but Y E S !!! I mean... When I had pets I always used cheats on them 😂 I could not keep them alive otherwise but it was still fun 😂
I personally don’t like the style of Sims 4. I found sims 3 so much easier to use. It might be laggy but even then. You could do much more. I don’t like how sims 4 interacts with toddlers. I much prefer it with sims 3.
If EA could just make a semi updated combination of Sims 3 and Sims 2 I would happily spend money on it. Sims 3 will always be my favourite because it was my introduction to the Sims games playing by myself and Sims 2 is hands down amazing and the expansion packs for each game were so awesome. Does anyone remember the Urban sims expansion pack? That was so great and Generations is an all time favourite. I miss having a computer to play these games.🤧
Things I miss from Sims 3 - The interior designer career (A builder's dream career), the kids play stove, and the water tool. Why would they remove these precious things from the Sims 4.

Y’know something I miss from The Sims 3 that NO ONE ever seems to bring up? Opportunities. Like, even if you somehow got bored of the game, you could always find a little fun side-quest to keep you busy. And you didn’t even need expansions for this or anything, they built upon the feature the more packs you bought. With the Sims 4 though, if you get bored cause you’ve pretty much done everything...that’s pretty much it, because there’s no depth to anything.
Bruh going to clean the bug cages after school or writing a report on the supermarket 😍😍

Totally
Omg and those passive aggressive "the supermarket is so disappointed with you" things if you didn't do it
I actually lost a sim once because he got electrocuted fixing a tv for one of the townies. Lol
It's the little things.
the fact that the sims 3 is actually playable without mods speaks volumes about sims 4
Actually, Sims 3 will grind it saves to a corrupted halt due to a bug that spawns huge numbers of cars in townies' inventories, so you do need NRAAS Overwatch to stop that from happening. MasterController is also useful to get around game-breaking bugs. Meanwhile the only mod I have for Sims 4 is "no React With Disgust" but I suppose that's because I play enough games, the vanilla (with most of the expansions) experience is enough for me. That's not to say I couldn't whine up a storm about all the problems Sims 4 DOES have, butanyways.
@@tirsden - I utilized MasterController to the extreme when I played. I edited how big the population could be a lot. Mostly cause I had an older computer and I wanted the game to run as smoothly as I could make it. Edited my computer settings for when games were being played, in-game settings, NRAAS mods. Lol
How do we edit the world?!? I never knew yoy could do this on road sides etc....

Literally imagine how powerful sims 3 would be rn if it was up-to-date with the latest tech we have now?? It prob would be 10x better
yeah if it was updated, hell yea!
If sims 4 was like Sims 3 but better I bet they could make more money too 🙄
They probably haven’t updated it cause it would outshine the Sims 4 and players would realise what a mess EA’s made and what a cash grab it is to
Honestly that would be so much better just scrap sims 4 and do a massive update on sims 3 and everyone would be so much happier
YES
a little thing that sums up why I love ts3 so much: I sent my kid to prep school and she called her brother and said "today at prep school I learned how to fake sincerity. so, uh... i love you so much. bye."
Nothing like that would ever happen in Sims 4. Even if it had a prep school, she'd just call him constantly and invite him to a random lot
YES the sims 3 was hilarious with stuff like this. Similar to the sims 2 & 1. Sims 4 truly fumbled the bag
ITS THE LITTLE THINGS 😭
My sim had a baby with a random guy and she is shamed for having a baby out of wedlock. It's mean asf but small things like this make the game more realistic. You can punch someone in the sims 4 and nobody will care 💀
I don’t care about the lagginess. The little things in TS3 were so cute and showed that the devs put a lot of effort into it. I wish we had that in TS4.

@@chenoazarecki that was a nightmare
SAME OMG
The sims 3 made me literally cry! I had a generation challenge going, one of my sims died and her wife, who she had met as a kid briefly and then reunited with in adulthood and fell into a beautiful relationship, had a longer lifespan than hers because of one of her traits, but eventually when she died as well I placed both of their graves on the cemetery next to each other. I thought nothing of it. But their son was out looking for collectibles one day and thought I could send him to the graveyard for rare things. As soon as I zoom into the graveyard I notice two ghosts dancing, and then hugging. It was the couple!!! Even after death they still loved each other. I sat there and cried for a good 10 minutes before I could unpause the game again.
I'm finna cry, that's so fuckin' beautiful. I-I can't....
That's beautiful, Sims 3 sims did really keep track of their own relationships... for the most part.
I was truly horrified as I watched one of my own sims in NPC mode come over to a sim I was playing in the current household at the time, and the NPC pulled my sim into a huge kiss. The NPC sim's husband was on the lot, and freaked the flip out. This is a couple I had worked hard on during previous gameplay. I only realized later that a random townie witch had probably cast the kissing spell on the NPC sim and he had kissed my sim since I was the first person to talk to him after the spell... but that changes nothing for how awful I felt, especially when I saw the notification go by that the NPC's husband was not interested in fixing their relationship and had moved on.
I ended up fixing their relationship myself later on, when I played that household again. That game really needs a relationship/loyalty lock on individual sims. So does Sims 4, for that matter, though cheating doesn't seem to have nearly the same impact in Sims 4 as it does in 3.

yup its the only one where i can actually play multiple generations, sims 4 i usually cant get past the first gen's children being kids before i get bored

So cute that so many have the exact same happy childhood memories with this masterpiece of a game
@amanda kenya does this video look like a sims 2 vid?
My favorite thing about The Sims 3: continuation of life. Sometimes when my Sim is doing something at home, I enlarge the map and watch what happens on the streets. I witness people coming home from work, chatting with each other, fighting, births and deaths. Sometimes I even look inside houses from their windows :) Life continues outside of my house. No fake houses. There are many people. Absolutely my favorite game.
I played my longest play to see all my lifelong (sims) friend die of old age , and it was devastating. I stopped playing the game for years after that - other "short plays" didn't have the same effect on me. If you become attached enough to a virtual life then it can be painful to see the end of them.
Yeah that’s what I love the most. I have a mod that lets you start fires anywhere you want, so I made my park into a prison and since the world is open, I was able to burn half the town’s population
Interesting note: it turns out Deaths can only occur if your Sim is in the lot where the death occurred, so I had to set up a watch tower where my sim would stay and wait for the sims to burn
and the graphics are realistic just watching the seasons is beautiful
i had several generations after my sim Alden Bunk. he was a firefighter and his son was a WA explorer. it was soo immersive
I still remember when my sim discovered a star and named it after her wife, the game actually recognised this with a pop-up, I was blown tf away
Proof that the sims 3 is ELITE luv xx
My experience exactly!!! What’s got me even more surprised is that they recognize it even if the name is not the exact same name - for example, my sim’s wife name is Azu, and I named the star “Zuzu”, the game still recognizes it. I think that is hella cool
@@erlindaa.n.4823 oh that's amazing! I later decided to name another star after my sim's daughter (Hannah) and the game got confused and attributed it to the wife (Ann) again haha

"My autism is shining!" As a fellow autistic person, it always brings me such joy to hear things like this. We deserve to enjoy our autistic selves. So uplifting. And yes, 'tis shining indeed. And I'm smiling. :) It's so nice to see you talking more openly about being autistic (tho you're never obligated to; it's always your call). It really seems like you've got more confident / bold about that, and I'm proud of you.
Also thank you so much for doing another TS3 video! I play 3 way more than 4 so it's always so nice to feel like my fave is being visited and isn't just some forgotten relic.

Love me some proud autistic representation :) my special interest happens to be The Sims 3
it’s so funny bc as somebody with adhd i deal with a lot of the same stuff and so whenever jesse says that it’s always abt something i do/thot was “”normal”” so i’m always like that’s not just??? existing??
It’s awesome to see wholesome autistic people! The only autistic people I’ve ever met are super toxic and use their diagnoses as a crutch to act like a total weirdo! You guys are all so nice ❤️
Edit: ok so a lot of you guys really mistook my comment and I’m so sorry that it came across like that. By “toxic” I didn’t mean the symptoms of having autism. I meant the people that I’ve met at school that purposely insult and take other people’s things and then say “oh I have autism so it’s ok.” It wasn’t their autism that made them act like this, it was the way they were raised. They were raised to believe that they are different, that their autism gives them an excuse to be treated like they should be on a pedestal. The teachers at my school would never correct them, and my brother got detention one time because an autistic kid stole his pencil, he stole it back, and the kid tattled to the teacher that my brother “stole his pencil.” Now my brother is a sweet kid. He even made friends with an autistic girl, Sarah. She would talk about Undertale and fnaf all the time, and she was so passionate about what she loved. But she would cry and scream all the time during the school day. It was obvious how she was mistreated and that she was sheltered while growing up. The teachers never helped her. I tried to help her the best I could, by calming her down and trying to help her understand that screaming when something didn’t go your way wasn’t ok. Now I’m no expert on autism. You guys have made me understand that. Nor did I ever think I was. But I’ve had an interesting history with them. It’s nice to meant people that are kind, sweet, wholesome, and understanding even though they still have autism. But I can also see how much it has harmed a lot of you. You guys have mentioned being bullied, and being called a “weirdo” because your brain doesn’t function like others. And that’s not ok. You all deserve better. You deserve to live the same as everyone else. So what if your brain doesn’t function the same? Big deal. You’re all living human beings with thoughts and feelings and beautiful personalities. No one should take away that awesome spirit that each and everyone of you have. And the fact that you’re all willing to defend and help people in your community is amazing! I hope that I can educate people that I know with the knowledge that you’ve all given me today. I hope that Sarah will meet other people like you guys someday too!
The fact that the sims 4 team missed out on key gameplay elements that are SO EASY and make SUCH a difference is embarrassing. Sims players aren't opposed to the concept of rabbit holes. Having a physical school or grocery store that just happens to be a rabbit hole makes a WORLD of difference, compared to your sim leaving every day for work or school, and never seeing the school bus or the carpool, never seeing the building they work in, etc. they didn't need to reinvent the wheel with the sims 4 but they somehow made it more boring, which is impressive
EA treats Sims the same as their sports games, it's all about DLC. Upcoming Skin changes are a prime example. Color Wheels etc have always been possible. But unless people complain enough it's not worth the $$ to EA. They could open world the game, with patches and world updates. They could add vehicles, create a style. There is nothing that prevents them except $$. Sims 4 has become a $700+ game, think on that a minute. For $700 shouldn't this game be mind blowing? People shouldn't be looking back at Sims 3 and wondering why it could do things Sims 4 can't.

I’ve just realised that you can drag the finished “Create A Style” setting to another item and you don’t have to set it up one by one 👁👄👁
I had no idea either until I saw her do that 🤯
I never dragged the whole style, I'd save it as a custom swatch and set it for each item (which in hindsight is a bit more tedious). Though I would often drag individual color swatches to different items that I wanted to match, for instance if I made a custom chair and wanted the table to have the same wood. And for some things I'd drag individual colors to different items, like if I wanted the curtains to be the same color as one of the shades in the chairs' cushion pattern. GOD do I miss this level of customization! I really hate how things in TS4 just don't match and I have to choose items based on color scheme rather than style to make rooms cohesive.

@@Paloma-qs3he imagine having to download mods to have a good playing experience lol I can play the sims 3 for hours everyday even without mods. I've been playing it unmodded for many many years, it was only at the ending of 2019 that I decided to try and play with story progression mod and I only needed 1 mod to be satisfied. Sims 2 is good, it has many animations details and mechanics that are incredible, I can see and respect that, but you need many many mods to make it truly and deeply enjoyable.
We get it, It was made a long time ago, but either way, it’s really glitchy, it’s understandable, but that doesn’t really help anything.
@@gamzmakarena not really, at least for me i only have a few mods to fix graphics, the corruption, general problems like the clones. i have sims 3 too and ive tried story progression but i still prefer sims 2 gameplay sorry u.u
I loved the fact that sims 3 traits have an impact on sims relationships too! Your sims have harder times having good relationships if the other sim has opposing traits.
Ikr! I just started playing Sims 3 and it took my Sims a complete Sims week to finally get this guy to like her but since he had commitment issue he didn't want to date just f*ck around and now my sim is pregnant he want to act like a salty babydaddy 🤦 I just found out by making my sim go to his house for the first time a notification popped up saying he is freaking rich!! I'm so pissed off he got me and my baby living in a starter home all poor and sh*t😤
@@kld6 lmao 💀☠️
Kanal 7 lol ik tragic 😂 but so far I’m loving the game! Way more entertaining than sims 4 I usually just build on there 😅
@@kld6 My sim was proper and she found out that her best friend had the inappropriate trait. I have never seen such a disgusted look when they found out lol
YES! I had THE most incredible, iconic Sims moment in 3 a few weeks ago - my child Sim had one best friend since Elementary School who shared her Loner trait, so I thought they'd be a cute couple. I got them to go steady, go to prom together, and shortly after she aged up to Young Adult I was like, why NOT have them get married straight away? My Sim is down on one knee proposing, their relationship is great, I'm already planning their lives together when it happens - her Sim boyfriend shakes his head no, and she gets up, devastated. I am in SHOCK wondering wtf is going on when it happens, the little notification appears "Kaya has learned that Omar is Insane" - I DIED. I couldn't even be mad, I was straight up impressed, Sims 3 had surprised me in a way that I'd forgotten Sims games could after playing 4 for so long.
The thing I loved about Sim 3 aspirations was that it actually felt like you completed a life long dream. I remember when I used to play it, I really had to work my ass off just complete it. And the amount of points you get was suuuuper worth it. I feel like with sims 4 it’s just a continuous completion of some random wishes. Like it doesn’t feel special anymore?? You complete one aspiration as if it’s just another chore, it’s just too easy to achieve for a main aspiration.
Also, the personalities give so much opportunities for stories to be created! My friend mentioned to me that she was playing her family with 3 generations in sims 3. The main chick she was focusing on within the family was receiving so much bad luck like her husband died, children died before her, had a freaking baby sitter steal her baby (bug). While her sister, which my friend didn’t focus on, fell in love with her childhood friend n got married had two children and died a happy life. She didn’t even touch this sim yet they created relationships and had SOULS. Sims 4 sims could never. They cant even take care of themselves. My sim KITERALLY died because he had no idea why he was cold when he was wearing sports clothes outdoor during winter time 🤦🏽♀️ sims 3 sims would’ve changed clothes by theirselves.
The Sims 4 is really like paying to be a babysitter
I understand why Sims 4 wasn’t open world, but I don’t understand why there’s no gameplay.😂 Like what stopped EA from having groceries stores, bookstores, cemeteries, picnics, schools, resorts, color wheels, CONTENT, etc. (I can go on for days)?
When try to achieve aspirations in Sims 4 I feel like someone is forcing me to play specific unlike Sims 3 you can choose to play however you want, because it's up to you how you achieve your life aspiration. Freedom for your stories. Tbh so much gameplay of Sims 4 is to do specific tasks to achieve bigger goal I feel like I'm being told how I should play Sims.
Yes! That's the thing I hate most about aspirations in the sims 4. It's like you have to follow this specific path to achieve it and it gets repetitive quickly, but with lifetime wishes in sims 3 it's so much easier to forge your own path to achieve it. Heck even the aspirations system in sims 2 was better since at least the wants in it changed daily unlike in sims 4 where all the tasks for all aspirations stay the same.
True. The lifetime wish in Sims 3 can be reached on different paths and the small wishes they have are more of a better version of the whims. There's no railroading you into the way you play, there's just the decision what your sim will strive for in their life and then your decisions when and how and if you will have them reach that.
Hm
I firmly believe the Sims 4 was meant to be a MMO or mobile game. Once I started thinking that way, ALL of the content makes sense.
@@Deadcat323 Yes, that's true. EA wanted for it to be an online multiplayer game, then learned that the target audience wasn't into online mulitplayer and changed it to singleplayer. That might explain why the sims have little character and there's no story or development for NPCs (unlike in previous games) - all of that was meant to be supplied by the players when interacting with each other.
why is the sound of the mouse selecting for sims to do things is SO nostalgic
I'm willing to sell my kidney to EA for them to update Sims 3 to 64 bit.
i think they are! on origin there is a 64 bit edition for mac as a separate game, i think this is a trial and it will soon come out on windows :)

One of my favorite features was how when u placed the same tree, it would make it slightly smaller or slightly bigger so if you wanted to have a full forrest area or reuse one type of tree it didn’t look copy-pasted. i didn’t know how much i would miss that until ts4 made the landscape in your backyards look unnaturally identical
I agree! It's such a seemingly simple thing but it makes a world of difference.. figuratively and literally! The variation in size was wonderful and really made it feel more realistic in a sense.
the trees in ts3 were so realistic. id watch the seasons go by
I made a sim once that hated everything - hated children, hated the outdoors, hated technology, hated art, hated water 😂
The Sims 3 with all (or most) expansions truly is a massive, unique, and immersive game. If it were somehow optimised to reduce crashes and lag, it would be a near perfect game, and the best Sims game by far, imo.
I've found that playing the game without fast forwarding fixed most if not all of my crashes and performance issues, sure it sucks, but I've learned to use the time my sims take to sleep or work to play other sims or clean around the house, stuff like that
I think you are referring to the very simple fact that Sims 3 was an OPEN WORLD!!!!! Its not hard to figure out, open worlds have been around since 2010; Sims 4 was a weird throwback!?!
@@CDavis-jt5fh ts4 felt like ts1 when it came out. after 1000s of hrs in ts3 i was like what is this cr**

I always made it a *POINT* to give my werewolves intense glowing eyes, like so bright it would shine on their cheeks
I remember when I first got The Sims 3. That open world was so amazing. I just couldn’t believe there was a Sims game with an open world. The Sims 2 will always be dear to me, but nothing compares to The Sims 3’s open world gameplay!
Name one game in the last 10 years that wasn't open world. I mean, other than Sims 4, name one game that wasn't open world....
Man, I miss being able to let one of my sims go to the neighbors house without having to interrupt what everyone else in the household are doing. That, more than the loading screen, is why my sims don't tend to leave their house :((((
Literally playing ts4 is like playing inside a box. the fake outside world and loading screen discourages you from EVER leaving your house! ALSO it is so unrealistic that you can just FLY to another world just to go to work everyday
Omg yes all of this!!!! I was playing Sims 4 and I have a family of 8 HAHAHA and literally, you can't have any single one of them do anything because it takes away from the rest of the family... it's frustrating.
I played Sims 3 for the first time about a month ago, and I was completely overwhelmed with the gameplay. It truly is limitless, and like you I am a family simmer so it was perfect for my play style. Sims 4 is a pretty game, but 3 is definitely a lot more fun for me :) Sims 2 was my first sims game and that has a special place in my heart too.
Loved the video! Cant wait for the next one.
TS3 was my first sims game.
The Sims 3 single-handedly burned up three different laptops but I don't even care I love her unconditionally
@Floris van Engelen seriously! i did this and its so much better. the absolute must for sims 3 for me like not even counting any mods or anything is something to limit the fps!
@Floris van Engelen omg how do I do that? I dont want to burn my card. 😱 I have a gaming laptop, an msi
Tbh, it's a miracle that my laptop didn't explode on me back when I played S3 alot, that old thing didn't even have a graphics card! When I was out shopping for a new laptop my only criteria was that it would be able to run S3. I ended up buying a $2k laptop because I want nothing but the best to play my Sims 3.

Anything to play our beloved Sims 3. ;)
I found my old sims 3 games today and I was actually EXCITED when playing. There were so many traits and life goals to give my sims and so many things I had not yet done in the world even tho I have played it for over 1000 hours. With the sims 4 it feels like the game has NO SOUL. The sims 4 makes me feel nothing and that's why the sims 3 is superior

To everyone here with lags and too long (I'm talking about 10-30 minutes long) loading screens, I have some tips for you that may help (helped me a lot and my laptop is six years old, turns seven next month) ✨
• Get to know your device's specs, like graphics card, CPU and RAM; you don't have to be a professional, but at least learn what especially your graphics card was built for initially (googling does the trick), it's important to actually know how well it handles games in general (e.g. an NVidia GTX is/was made especially for gaming, while a GT wasn't). With that 'knowledge', you can optimize your settings better (it's a lot of trial and error tbh)
• Google "Sims 3 optimal settings" and follow trustworthy tutorials (I can link one in case someone needs it), most if not all of them explain why certain settings are better than others and how they affect the gameplay
• turn off the interactive loading screen, this is very important and saves a lot of time (and you don't need the small amount of aspiration points it gives you)
• turn off memories (I'm not sure how they're called, like these yellowish notifications about stuff your Sims does (seen around 13:00 in the video, the notifications Jesse clicks away). I cannot properly explain why memories take up resources as I'm not sure about it myself (I'm not a professional 😅), but once I turned them off out of curiosity, I found my game to run more smoothly and also you don't get spammed with notifications every time your Sims does something remotely interesting - this feature is just plain unnecessary in my opinion, like, you know what they're doing and also these "screenshots" the game takes of the captured event always look terrible
• if you're comfortable with modding (it's so easy to do, there's many great tutorials 😇), get into NRaas mods that actually clean up your towns (I can link you these ones too). My bf got me into these mods (esp. traffic, overwatch, register) and they're simply amazing and easy to use! They catch a lot of errors and prevent crashing, you have full control over things like paparazzis, wild animals etc. (you can 'delete' them so they don't even spawn, which again saves resources resulting in less lags, but also I hate paparazzis so I just get rid of them 😂), they clean up things you don't even think about (did you know that, for instance, some TVs or stereos don't turn themselves off, so your pc has to process multiple of those running at the same time all while you play - that eats up resources as well, and Overwatch takes care of those issues and turns them off)
Some advanced tips:
• if you're super into CC and have lots of it installed (like I do 🥰), consider watching tutorials about merging package files. Merging packages can actually help reduce loading times when it comes to build/buy or even CAS
• you can even convert Sims3packs into packages and merge them as well (I haven't tried that yet, but my favorite Simmer said it works well for her - I'd link her tutorials but she's German, but I'm sure there's English tutorials about that as well)
I probably forgot some tips, but these really helped me enhance my gaming experience! Feel free to add more and I hope this was helpful ✨
The title of this video makes me so happy. I’ve tried the Sims 4 but I was incredibly deceived by the cartoon-looking sims and the lack of an open world as well as the small number of lots, families, etc. So I never left the Sims 3 and I love it, yesterday I was just playing my Sim in Bridgeport. I really hope that the Sims 5 will be good but if not, I’ll never leave the Sims 3, to me this is the best game of the franchise
Bridgeport is one of my favourite worlds. It’s so immersive and fun and interesting! God I love the sims 3!!
Bridgeport is my absolute favorite too! I love city worlds, and it’s so cool when you use the third-person mod with your Sims in the world. You don’t get the same feel in other pre-made worlds.
I'm playing Sunset Valley with all expansions 🎉
The replay-ability of the previous games is what's amazing. All these years later I can still have a ton of fun playing the Sims 2 and the Sims 3.
@@even___ plus Bridgeport has the best looking Sims ! Barnacle Bay can’t relate 😅
"Not expecting much", that book really did just predict the sims 4 back in 2009
There's a lot I love about the game but one of the things that caught me by surprise is that in certain occasions, you can get arrested and then go to jail. They take your items from the inventory (I only had a tomato but alright) and could choose to chat with the prisioners until I got permission to come out. It's one of many details that make me like it.
As someone who has never played the Sims 3.. I am in shock. What happened?! Why is the Sims 4 lacking all this stuff!?
Please play it if you ever get the chance. It’s an amazing game
Oh you sweet summer child. S4 is a travesty and barely even qualifies as a game
@@foolisnoteighteenyet sweet summer child 🤣😂
Sims 4 was originally going to be an online only game, but after the Sim City fiasco they had to quickly throw something together. They should've just started over from scratch but EA was greedy and forced them to release a subpar game.
I believe Sims 3 was EA's last creation before they changed the company's leadership to a group of old businessmen that don't understand or care for the gaming industry other than that it sells well. And after that point, EA have only been releasing products that have been cheap to produce and lacking proper content but sell the games for ridiculously high prices. Sims 4 is a perfect example of how a company base their sales off of hype or trends but don't actually care for the gamers.
I'm honestly offended that TS4 came after the TS3.
Right like it makes no sense. How is the sims 3 better than a game that was supposed to be it’s successor 😭
@Deh Well there's a skeleton maid with Jungle Adventure in the sims 4, I think you have to complete every temples. but it was so fun to have Bonehilda tho
@Deh Lmaooo! TS4 was a mistake! I'm shocked the same studio released it 😕
@Deh and like 90% of the items. it's basically like TS1 Lite

I only had two expansion packs for the sims 3 and I remember not needing anymore I was totally fine with only two. But I could not imagine playing the sims 4 with only two packs that would be even more boring than it already is 💀
Same. I play Sims 3 with only Supernatural and Seasons downloaded.
Exactly! I recently started playing Sims 3 again and I've only got Seasons and University and it's perfect!
I only had living large for sims 2 and supernatural for sims 3 and still could build houses all day and create sims for hours before even just playing.
For me, The Sims 5 should have all the good things of every version combined and even improve upon.
Features list: (good things of every version)
The Sims 1:
- Spooky, horrors musics play when a burglar comes or receiving a prank call.
The Sims 2:
- Deep storylines with interconnected relationships around the town. These interesting and mysterious stories make my imaginations go wild.
- Wants and Fears
- Turn ons & turn offs
- Cutscenes
- Ghosts in The Sims 2 are more mysterious. They can scare your sims, make objects fly but can never talk to sims like human beings and that creates creepy atmosphere. For me, it’s more interesting that way.
- Highly detailed objects than The Sims 4.
- Animations that go along with the topics being discussed.
- Detailed animations about everything in general like a sim grabbing cooking utensils from a drawer when cooking, sims actually grabbing a slice of pizza one by one (not a slice of pizza magically appear in a sim’s hand while the whole pizza is still intact.), sims playing a real chess game, moving a piece to its real position, taking out a captured piece (not the pieces magically transport to their positions), sims actually get in a car, etc.
You can watch The Sims 2 details that aren’t in TS3 & TS4 on UA-cam
ua-cam.com/video/LlWEvlW9jbY/v-deo.html
The Sims 3:
- Open world (but with optimized code and less buggy of course!)
- Color wheel and slider for CAS and build & buy mode.
- Create-A-Style
- 5 traits per sim
- Bunker beds that aren’t modded
- Opportunities
- the 4th speed through tasks button
The Sims 4:
- Good-looking sims
- Push and pull CAS
- Build & buy mode in this game is amazing and with the platform it’s beyond amazing!
- Multitasks
- Emotions with sentiments
- The Sims 4 graphics are nice but they’re a little too cartoony like a dollhouse instead of a life simulation. I want it to have better lighting and more realistic graphics while retaining cartoony looks at the same time, like Disney Pixar graphics.
If The Sims 5 have these features I mentioned above, it will be the best game of all time!
I’d like GTAV graphics for future sims!!
@@teacoffee42 Unfortunately, EA might know by now they can continue making an incomplete game as long as simmers are keep buying it.
I’m not surprised they aim for the least amount of work that still earn them profit.
I really hope the Sims 5 can prove me wrong though.
I like the vampires of sims 4 too
No, Sims 4 was a major wrong turn!!! Sims 5 needs to be SIms 3 with the fan requested improvements. You do not understand that EA only wants your money, not a fun game experience.
I miss Sims 3 sooooo much. I miss Will Wright honestly. He NEEDS TO BE BACK AND FIX THE SIMS 4! I hope he makes The Sims 5

I've gone back to Sims 3 recently and it's brought me so much genuine enjoyment. It has such deep gameplay! My sim just changed careers because his evil acts caught the attention of the criminal career and they made him an offer, which is such a great detail. Lol I don't think it's super playable without Nraas mods, but with them it runs fine.
Yeah, the Sims 4 career invite calls just feel like spam by comparison. "We at [job category] think you are a perfect fit! We'll hire you at [level you qualify for according to the math regarding your skills, college degrees, reward perks, etc]. Also, I'm quite possibly one of your own played Sims in NPC mode who isn't even in this career, but who's counting!?"
NRAAS mods helped me out greatly for S3!
When I was about 10 and played the Sims 3 each of my sims had a different neon color and everything they had was the same color. The clothes and house, all neon.
Man, I miss sims 3, I remember waiting 30+ minutes of loading screen due to over 300 cc. Good times
I remember when the sims 3 came out. I played absolutely endless hours and never ran out of different stuff to do. The expansion packs, the towns, the open world, the create a style tool… IMO the sims 3 holds up better than the sims 4 and I want a remastered version of the sims 3 one day. It’s so special to me ❤️

Sameeeeeeeeeeeee
Let me just say this, and I mean this in the "nicest" way possible (no I don't): Anytime I see someone post about the Sims 3, it makes me hate the Sims 4 team even more. I mean open worlds, cars, world editor, create a style/color wheel, etc. They even gave us all that in the....wait for it... BASE GAME ffs. Sims 4 came out and they said "what's a dishwasher? idk. toddlers? never heard of em!...etc." SO much content for every pack and, again, the BASE GAME in the Sims 3. The Sims 4 comes out with packs like Luxury Party for $10 with like 8 items. Nonsense. Oh, and the ability to download OTHER neighborhoods that DIDNT REPLACE CURRENT ONES (yes I am looking at you Sims 4), was such a great feature. The Sims 3 was and still is ahead of its time. The Sims 4 was more a sequel to the Sims 1 (since even the Sims 2 offered swatches you could mix n match, etc.). I really hope the Sims 5 is what the Sims 3 was with less crashing lol
The Sims 4 base had no toddlers, no pools, no ghosts, no cars, no burglars, etc. Good things they added some of them now but there’s still no functional cars or burglar.
The Sims 2 also has so many little detailed animations that TS3 & TS4 don’t have. And I love The Sims 2 stories about entangled relationships between families around the neighborhood. The Sims 4 stories are unimportant and uninteresting. There’s no relationship between families.
The Sims 3 with TS2 stories and detailed animations with TS4 good looking sim faces would be fantastic.

I LOVED THAT YOU COULD GO TO A SIMS HOUSE and WATCHING THEM GO IN CARS. I made Agnes Crumplebottom and Jamie Jolina fall in love and it soothed my young gay heart
The sims 3 was just so much more in depth and easier to create a story. The open world and being able to stalk people all over and the whole world felt like it was more real and constantly running. In the sims 4 or 2 it feels more closed off to just your active household. Sims 3 im running 3 or 4 families at a time using open world. Sims 4 feels like once someone leaves ur household they're gone and useless and the story hardly progresses. Sims 3 is just so much more deep, small detials and way more stuff to do. It still runs amazing on my 2012 acer laptop. The families in sunset Valley and their stories are so interesting too.

This!! Ive always been stuck with low end computers so a game being slow/lagging isnt really an issue for me, I have patience to deal with it but I also like to remind people that sims 3 is massive once you have most packs installed and theres a constant change of events going on in the background. The game doesnt only check on your sims but it also has to keep all the other townies active and have them progress and roam around the neighborhood. Its a super impressive game once you think about it.

She said "soosoo" and I repeated it out loud and the realization hit me that, they dont even say soosoo anymore???? Is it just me or did they actually change the language from sims 3???? IM SO SHOOK IM QUAKING RIGHT NOW
"Sul sul" is how you spell it :)
Thank you, but do you hear it in sims 4?
@@loverna212 yes I do 😁
Omg I never thought about that
alt title: hating the sims 4 for 18 minutes straight while playing the sims 3
the sims 3 really was the best game ever
Ok i need to get Sims 3 again 😭 you can play with only base game, seasons university & generations and it's STILL such a great game! (At least for me)
FOR REALLL 😭 I once played with like 5 expansion packs and I was like, naaahh seasons and generations are enough, the best. I played with the pets, but then the dog was just a struggle to live with lol. Island paradise was also cool, but after some time it was too vacation-y for me who lives in the city (yes, I want my sim to be relatable with me irl ) 😭
@@emeraldaize I'm one month late to saying this. But I understand when it comes to having pets. I didn't like that they could catch fleas so fast lol.
i used to play with just night life and supernatural and it was so much more fun than sims 4 😭
@@Purplechimp101 right?!?! I mean, Sims 3 Sims can be a bit.... Ugly 😅 imo, they all look roughly the same unless you get .... Unique features. But the gameplay is so worth it and I wish I had a good computer to at least get the Sims 3 base, uni, generations & seasons. That's all I want right now. Fuck Sims 4 !!😤
@@emeraldaize I know I'm 2 months late lol, sorry, but Y E S !!! I mean... When I had pets I always used cheats on them 😂 I could not keep them alive otherwise but it was still fun 😂
Sims 4 CEO: "It's evolving, just backwards" 🤣🙈💜
Frrr hoping maybe sims 5 will be better let’s not keep our hopes up though.
me starting to watch this right as i’m making a sim in the sims 3 to play with
I personally don’t like the style of Sims 4. I found sims 3 so much easier to use. It might be laggy but even then. You could do much more. I don’t like how sims 4 interacts with toddlers. I much prefer it with sims 3.
You can also delete the school if you want a sci-fi world where children don’t go to school. (When I made the promised neverland)
I have the sims 3 soundtrack on my spotify playlist 🤦🏻♂️😂
Also the hospital is called "Sacred Spleen". This is why the Sims 3 is better than 4.
That makes greystillplays' sim cat's name even funnier to me
And you could have ghost babies and babies with the grim reaper
i've been playing ts3 recently and it's SO GOOD. the attention to detail. the depth. the personality. sims 4 could never.
i’ve had sims 4 longer than i’ve had sims 3 and i’m pretty sure i have more hours in s3 than s4
If you dont think sims 3 is the best game are you even a real person ❤️
Sims 2 is pretty damn good
@@christopherdelacruz9728 yeah but sims 3 is just *chefs kiss*
i never got to play it bcs i was dumb and bought sims 4 instead 😔😣
@@sav5169buy it if your in engkand they have it for pc in cex
@Dwight [SCHRUTE] sims 4 literally said ✨shite✨
If EA could just make a semi updated combination of Sims 3 and Sims 2 I would happily spend money on it. Sims 3 will always be my favourite because it was my introduction to the Sims games playing by myself and Sims 2 is hands down amazing and the expansion packs for each game were so awesome. Does anyone remember the Urban sims expansion pack? That was so great and Generations is an all time favourite. I miss having a computer to play these games.🤧
Things I miss from Sims 3 - The interior designer career (A builder's dream career), the kids play stove, and the water tool. Why would they remove these precious things from the Sims 4.
I've been exclusively playing the sims three and sims medieval lmao. I don't even have sims 4 downloaded rn.
Imagine when 64 bit sims 3 get released and then everyone plays sims 3 not sims 4
I got so excited when she said she wanted to play each pack, because I’ve been wanting her to do that for a while haha
I just downloaded the sims3 and I am absolutely overwhelmed LOL
as person who grew up on sims 4 i can agree
@Yeah I did, i really like that but its also really complicated compare to the sims 4
The sims 3 is pure fun
I never knew you could edit the world like that!!! The power we had with this game. The sims 4 could never fr
