- Review of the downloadable town for The Sims 3: Roaring Heights. What all does this new neighborhood include? Is it worth the cash? Does Duke Nukem enjoy rollercoasters?

If this happens to have to be removed due to TH-cam's current overzealous copyright claim BS, I will reupload it as soon as I can.
Thank you for the continued support, everyone! I'm not going anywhere.
***** Please do NOT reupload it, thanks :)
You're free to download it for your own use, but if you reupload it you will be taking views from me. Also, you'll only cause trouble for yourself because of the new system, since my videos are now copyrighted by Maker Studios and in turn *you* would be flagged by them.
Lazy Game Reviews amd fx 9590 8 core or i7 4770k? what do you think for sims 3
***** Because this video is *my* content, and my content is copyrighted under them. Anytime anyone takes and reuploads one of my videos, it'll get flagged as theirs, in addition to EA or whoever else wants to stake a claim.
Yay! Thanks for continuing to make these, regardless of the new TH-cam crap.
Wouldn't it cause you to be flagged for repeated copyright claims and eventually causing YT to take down your entire channel?
97 lots. Must be nice. Now we get 11 in a expansion pack.
try 3..
Del Sol Valley was and still is the worst world in all of the Sims games..
Ko_Toriii Magnolia Promenade 🤧🥴
Vegetable I don’t even count that as a world, lmao but yeah that sucks too
If you are lucky nowadays. XD
Dare I say, I’d like a pack like this for the Sims 4. However, they’d probably release stuff packs such as “Rollercoaster Bolt Stuff” instead.
I have been on the fence about buying this but you have convinced me.
I know this video is 5 years old, but could you by chance update the links in the describtion? Only one of them works for me :(
you can get tetnis with your crabs! They thought of everything.
does youtube still flag sim videos? gaming videos are very popular now.
It still happens, yes.
Generally he does prefer the Sims 3 over 4. He explains why in various videos.
Yeah really want to get it today on origin for $8! Totally worth it!
I agree I love the town, but it is strange when people are playing on their laptops. It would be neat if they took out all the twenty first century stuff but it's still fun.
They would have to make a separate AI for this town, and depending on how they've programmed Sims 3, that may not be possible or that easy to change.
I love ya videos, hun. Just keep up the awesome work :) (tips cowboy hat)
That background sound in the beginning... Please tell me from what game it comes from !!! I vaguely remember it !!!
Okay I remember now... Legend of Kyrandia 2
I wish I could aford this(I know it's probably on sale now but my computer got stolen so I would need a new one and I would have to buy the base game)cause I adore the 1920's what a time mobsters,party's and old hollywood just looking at this video alone makes me feel like doing something 1920's related like drawing a picture of certain characters I like in a 1920's setting or just making a story about it.
fuck my fangirl heart The roarin' 20's are my favorite decade pre 1950
X-Fun there is just something about the decade that draws you to it but ya can't describe it right?
fuck my fangirl heart It may be the cartoons, the designs, it may be the ocean liners, the roller coasters, and Mickey Mouse. The 20's were great
And the movies. They were cheesy as fuck.
X-Fun indeed I just like it because of the fashion and how everyone everywhere was having a party
This reminds me of vice city from GTA 😂😂😂
So unfortunately the content ID system is youtube is screwing you over as well :(. I really hope you continue to stay on youtube and continue to make awesome videos.
The background music makes me want to pay Theme Hospital.
Also did anyone hear like Stone Temple Pilot's "Lady Picture Show" in this review? Is it just me?
Wtf 20 kidding me thats an expansion pack they should make base game 30 expansion 15 or 20" and fucking worlds 7 ti5 and clothes and itens should be 1 or 2 not fucking 15
Maybe I'm the only one who thinks this but this is the ugliest and stupidest world they've put out in the store. I'd rather eat a light bulb than shell out the money for a world and a roller coaster that I'll only use once. And really, the majority of content from the store is good for one or two uses. Just my two cents; if you like it, you like it.
Ahaha, the Address bar. xD
“ this is a town, not a world”
World: 90+ lots
Then I guess the sims 4 ‘worlds’ are actually villages
Arora Ma-rix no they are filth with all the load screens
@@communismsthebest5686 Get an ssd m8 Sims 4 doesn't take up much space.
Arora Ma-rix more like a street 😂
No I think the sims 4 “worlds” are apartments
so true, they literally have like 10 homes, and 4 plots to visit
Can't believe after 2 1/2 years and a whole new Sims game, this is still the same price. All the Sims 3 stuff should be cheaper now that Sims 4 is out!
Exactly! They lowered the expansion pack price to $20, but they kept stuff packs at the same price when Sims 4 stuff packs are even cheaper. It makes no sense.
...it's still 40 bucks for me? Where are you getting them for cheap?
+Jam Sparing Origin, ironically enough lol
They are still full price for me? What the hell????? I'd really like it if I didn't have to shell out 40 bucks for ambitions.
+Jam Sparing Really? I checked a couple of weeks ago and they were sold for around $20. Maybe it was a sale, but I didn't see any advertisements for it.
sims 3: oh this world isn't that big. 97 lots.
sims 4: 15 lots
I to this day fear that one of these days the sims team is going to announce that they are realising an expansion with one lot
@@whatteamwildcats4033 There's a world with 4 lots and a world with 5 lots, and that's just out of the packs that I have installed...
Idk why they even needed to make it closed world when there are barely any lots to load
Seriously, this is one of the big issues with the Sims 4. Like, it's fine enough to go for a non-open world but at least give us multiple, decent-sized neighbourhoods with a good amount of lots, not minuscule neighbourhoods or large neighbourhoods with millions of fake buildings.
@@nutfield0013 They have to rush it so content can be pumped out quickly. Ffs, look at the pizza in TS4. Utter shit.
I had no idea we could do all this in the sims 3 wtf
That’s why it’s my favorite. Sims 4 is dry
Ik I spend like 100+ pounds on the sims 4 (: regrettts
sunsbookishgamesx just realized sims3 might have been my favorite sims series of all time!! And yeah I realized I also missed a lot of things of this town!
@@lanaoglesby7963 nah sims 2 is still my favourite!! Only the base game offers so much!!
Idreamtofyouagain i know me too 😭 so many regrets
Sims 3 : oh, this is not a really big world, only 97 lots!
Sims 4 : the biggest world has 27 lots
And you can travel between worlds
@@kawaiimika7974 You can do that in TS3 with a mod at least.
@@kawaiimika7974 AND you have to face another goddamn loading screen
The Great Arceus I’m pretty sure you can do that in the sims 2 as well at least if memory serves me right it’s been a long time.
This is how TS4 City Living should have been. 😢
EA milking sims fans
I know, right!
I really wish I had spent over 100 pounds on Sims 3 instead on Sims 4. It's so much better.
2 years later and I now have this same regret 😭
me too😭i thought my game was boring because of the lack of EPs so i went ham with them... bought university and cats & dogs but i got so bored quickly. i enjoyed sims 3 uni life so much because something about it felt so real but the sims 4 uni didn’t not live up to it. many ragretz
Sims4 is the only game I regret paying for and that should tell something
Same 😭
I bought the sims 3 on eBay for $5 so hopefully it comes quickly.
"Though they call it a world. Technically it's not a world, it's a town. A world would be much larger."
Thanks for the sarcastic humor LGR, I spit up my tea.
His snarkiness and humor is the best
This town called me “old sport” and tried to achieve the unachievable American Dream. I love it.
Gatsby actually in that town but he loves Tom instead of Daisy
All those lots. RIP TS4.
A new world with 97 lots for 20 dollars? Ah, how the times have changed.
I'm seriously hoping they'll come out with a The Sims 3 complete collection, like they did for the other games, with all expansions and extra content included. I love The Sims 3, but as it is now, it's a complete clusterfuck to keep track of all the content if you want everything.
Well it's been what? Three years? And still no complete edition. How long did it take for the others?
+QueenThoria The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection took 10 years, so...we have to wait my friend.
Nadie :v aw man :/ well I already have all the expansion packs, and like one stuff pack. So I'm good I guess lol
Sra Kitty Parió well it’s been 10 years since sims 3 was created
I think it’s because how unstable the game is when you have all expansions and stuff packs, and that’s without extra cc or extra content. They can’t guarantee it will work on all computers the regular Sims 3 worked on if everything is included. Sims 2 was at least stable enough to release such an edition.
Man, it is *absolutely* wild to come back to your Sims 3 videos and hear you be so enthusiastic compared to The Sims 4. Definitely makes me miss the good ol'days when Sims was a fun game. I think I miss how the sims in TS3 actually felt like different people based on their traits vs the same-y carbon copies in TS4. I also miss being able to actually have enemies in game without sims who are sworn enemies trying to make nice when I leave them to their own devices, like, BRUH I MADE YOU MEAN AND EVIL WHY ARE YOU HAVING A CIVIL CONVERSATION WITH THE ENEMY!?
If you could put the Sims 4 graphics in the Sims , 3 life would be great
TS4 graphics is awful. TS3 has much better graphics.
I like ts2 feel and graphics much more than both. I love the old, less cartooney, more pixelated look rather than what ts4 has.
Sims 3 looks way more realistic than the sims 4 cartoon graphics
It's not about looking realistic,it's about looking good and ts3 sims look awful
It would load for eternity
10 years later and this pack is still $20
I hate Bridgeport and never use it. In any other town going to work is a matter of walking out your door, getting in a cab and going to work. In Bridgeport, you gotta wait for the elevator, go down the elevator, go through the stupid tripping animation, go out the building, get in a cab, get out of the cab and walk down the rabbit hole subway, get out of the subway somewhere else, get back in a cab, get to work. All told, it takes nearly 2 hours of game time instead of 20 minutes. I guess that's realistic to real city life, but it's not much fun to play.
You don't have to life in a Apartment and you can delete all subways. Or just go earlier to work
Just use testingcheatsenabled true and teleport them in front of their workplace. Will save you a lot of time
I just use the teleport
I believe there is a mod to eliminate that animation of the Sims getting caught in the doors. I also delete all the subways, because it is incredibly annoying. I had a girl who could walk to work, but she'd instead take a cab to the a subway station and use that to get to another subway that was "closer" to her work, but it was really convoluted way to get there.
kevnar Some idiots don't know how to teleport 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Use "testingcheats"
Been going back through TS3 after my immense disappointment with 4 and man the first 3 games had so much character even the lowest points of TS3 are not even close to the disappointment of 4
While sims 4
4-5 residents
1-2 empty
3 venues..
If there is improvement sims 3 graphics and multitasking, i will drop sims 4 without doubt
@ebony b yup and you know what you have to spend 20$ at least to get those.
I watch this to remember a time when sims was fun
who else is on a lgr sims 3 marathon? no just me okay....
Hi past i does it here
The fact that in 2022 people are still going back to TS3... wow
i always am because im still getting expansions lol
This is really the only review that matters to me.
I love your videos and your right these are my favorite reveiws
Rin Kagamine *you're. Yw
Stephanie from LazyTown seriously?
I think this town alone has more lots than many Sims 4 worlds combined.
You can add additional lots via the world editing tools in the Sims 3. So yeah, one world in the Sims 3 has more lots than all the worlds in the Sims 4 combined
@@dundee6402 That's right! I've played Sims 3 around 10 years ago and have forgotten a lot it seems.
"this is kinda disappointing for 19 dollars" say what now ts4?
Ahw Remeber when the Sims was exciting! Now it’s just... 😒
Look at this 3D world map that isn’t just a 2D picture...the sims 4 is just so backwards that they reverted back to the sims 1.
The Sims 1 has carpools, cabs and busses at least! The Sims 4 isn't even a regression at this point, it's way worse than that.
Sims 4 is sooo bad! Why do I want witches and magic when we could have a theme park world? How fun would it be to take your kids to the theme park.
Thanks for these sims reviews! I always fancy your review style and the LGR humor. Cheers.
Its funny how when this came out it was cool, but admittedly nothing too special. HOWEVER, after five+ years of a lackluster Sims 4, this has turned into premium content in hindsight. Sims 3 is altogether a much better experience than Sims 4, even if Sims 3 has routing and lag issues. I can't imagine Sims 4 churning out something like this today.
I have decided i don't like sims 4 as much as sims 3 so i going back to sims 3
I literally cannot believe this still costs 20 bucks 7 years later...
Guess sims 4 worlds are neighborhoods then.
After all this years I just knew it...
Really, playable roller coaster...
I want to play ts3 again...
😣
ummmm hello? who's the sims 4? i don't know her
I may not play the Sims games, but having watched all of your videos about them I have to say, this is definitely one of the more aesthetically interesting towns available for The Sims 3, at least out of all the ones you've looked at. :)
I only have the base Sims 3 game but watch all of LGR's reviews on every expansion packs. Doesn't make me want to buy any of them but they are freaking fun to watch.
Such a beautiful world. Loved the Roaring 20's references. Wish The Sims 4 had such beautiful worlds as these.
You know playing the sims 4 and now and hearing him say “small town” after he said 97 lots it really makes you realize how small the sims 4 worlds are
This kinda reminds me GTA Vice City
Yeah, a bit) but you can download "vice city" town for real flashbacks))
Although your comment 4 years old, I believe my suggestion is relevant as Sims 3 acutely playable unlike 4th
Mr.Yuri_ or l.a noire
Which is just based off of South beach Miami
Nick Joint I play that a lot. There gotta be like 150+ lots, it’s amazing.
Also downloaded a ton of real life vehicles. It’s truly incredible.
Anyone else getting a Grand theft auto vice city vibe?
A little version of Miami. I love it.
The prices for these things are insane
Sims 3 plus DLC plus everything from the store reportedly totals at about 74,900 dollars
@@eier3252 💀
TRAS̸H DØVE wtf? Is that true?
TRAS̸H DØVE I think you added an extra zero there bub
At least Sims 3 DLCs would give you much more stuff and features than Sims 4 DLCs.
ok so why are the content and items from the store more expensive than half the expansions?
you can get it cheaper on origin
You can get flagged for doing gaming reviews? WTF TH-cam?!!!!!
this map deadass looks like the vice city map. pretty dope tbh
I like that LGR is honest. Most other reviewers overhype the sims games, I'm guessing so they stay in EA's pocket... Nice vid!
Lol, if only we knew what the lots would be like in TS4 😩😭
it should be named Great Gatsby sims 3
Yes, yes!!!?
the sims 4 could never
Fantastic review, as always-- plus it's so nice to hear you be excited and enjoy one of the Store worlds. I know they've disappointed you pretty badly in general.
Tens across the board and no splash. Thanks for all you do!
Since EA release Sims 4, Origin stop making any discounts for Sims 3. I have waiting for it for the last 3 years. I don't want to spend 20 bucks for some Stuff packs that don't worth it! Like: Fast Lane Stuff, Katy Perry's Sweet Treats, Diesel Stuff, etc. But I would like to have them, but not for this price. They not worth this money at all!
I don't get why there is a possibility of it being flagged for copyright? It's obvious this what you do. If they take this down, they have to take down yours and EVERY INDIVIDUAL PERSON who also do similar things. I don't understand why it's really an issue since to me EVERYONE or just about everyone knows who The Sims are and a variety of other games are. Plus it's not like you or anyone else doing this is saying the game(s) are bad or even being paid to do so, you all are probably the reason why games are being sold more. It's worth knowing what you are about to buy rather than the small, somewhat okay reviews by the actual creators.
I say keep up the great work and ignore this whole Google/TH-cam collaboration that is only making TH-cam worse and making other similar TH-cam websites better now. TH-cam used to be great, no commercials THAT YOU CAN'T SKIP sometimes, no pain of taking surveys before a commericial. But when bigger things take over (corporations/companies - Google), that only makes things worse sometimes. And this is one of the times.
It is not that simple. Yes, things, *should* be just fine doing what I do, but the fact of the matter is they are not right now. They *are* flagging my videos and every individual person's who does similar things! I'm not just saying this, it has been happening to my channel for over a week and lots of my Sims videos have been falsely flagged already.
If you'd like more info, I'd recommend watching this: TH-cam copyright blitz focuses on gameplay videos - Dec. 12th, 2013
Sadly, what's happened is far more insidious that it seems from the outside. The videos being flagged, for the most part, aren't being taken down; rather, the advertisements on the videos are hijacked by the company which made the claim to the content. This happens automatically and without a buffer period where we can dispute the claim before our money is taken by the claimant. It's a guilty-until-proven-innocent clusterf*ck and there's almost no defense anymore because the networks people are signed with don't have the clout they did before.
US copyright is a fickle bedfellow for the average LPer. "Fair Use" only gets us so far.
To make things worse, the claims are generally being made by companies which don't own the content at all; most big developers haven't made a single claim. Whether it's because the Content ID bot mistakes a snippet of music for another song, or some tiny hack/shell company has lied and said they own the game and/or music, most of the claims are flat-out false. It's subsidized thievery, plain and simple.
On top of that, there shouldn't even be a question of whether or not the review is negative. There have been a couple of incidents where content has been flagged by companies which were dissatisfied by the treatment their game got in a video, and that's unethical. Let's Plays and TH-cam reviews should be a place where people can get honest opinions from people who play the games.
This entire thing is about TH-cam balking at the demands of corporations such as Nintendo, and now we're descending into the (please forgive the pun) rabbithole of shady journalism and Triple-A fascism so rampant in most other game industry representation and coverage.

As a novice game developer, this makes me so angry. What the hell kind of copyright system results in me losing control of my own fucking content? If I wanted to make money off people using my content, I couldn't because some backwater company in Korea is already leeching off my content, and if I didn't want content provider's money to be siphoned for using my content, well I have no say in the matter. First piracy and DRM and now this. Seriously, fuck TH-cam.
Katina Bright I usually look at video reviews before I buy a game just to make sure it lived up to the hype, so I agree. I especially like types of reviews like this that have humour infused in the review.
This is one of the best towns on the store for sure, but why the hell is it so damn overpriced? like wow, don't they make enough money already?
Reminds me of The Great Gatsby
Well considering it is inspired by the 1910s-30s eras...
Does games for the world actually work? I was considering getting back into sims 3 and getting all the worlds to keep me sane during quarantine
YES YES YES!!! go to karmatastic for sims download tutorials
It does. It's what I've been using for the same purpose.
Must. Not. Stay. Up. Longer. And. Watch.
Fight the urge! You can do it!!!!!
I have a feeling I'm going to be dreaming LGR videos now. xP Night. :) Look forward to watching this in the morning. :)
I mean, if you buy the gold bundle, it gives you enough SimPoints to afford the boardwalk. So you're still only really paying $35 for both. Still, that's a whopping $35 for what is ostensibly not an expansion pack, but a new town and a place-anywhere venue.
(Then again, the same could be said for just about anything on the Sims 3 store. Acquiring everything there could rack up a little over a thousand dollars, even with the free points you get from the actual expansions.)
People *pay 35 dollars for a fucking world*
Me "torrents exist for a reason"
There was a website with every single Sims3 store content pack and item on it a year ago.
That's where I got everything.
The page is gone now😭
"I really, really like fixing up older cars and honestly, I would love a game where you did nothing but that"
Greetings LGR! I have come from the future and I have good news!!
97slots?!
LGR goes on about the price being a disadvantage of Roaring Heights but looking back now in 2020, I'd rather spend my money on this than on a Sims 4 pack. I actually just logged onto the Sims 3 site just to check my games were already registered ahead of the 64 bit mac release tomorrow, and I was gifted with 1000 sim points! I had no idea the store was still active and there was some pretty good stuff on there. I have Seasons, Parenthood and Get to Work on TS4 as Seasons, Generations and Ambitions were my favourite packs on TS3...but they didn't add as much depth to the game as I'd hoped so I refuse to spend any more money on Sims 4. If everything works well with TS3 on my mac then you can bet I'll be spending my money on stuff like this instead!
Anyone else here that still plays TS3 from time to time but also enjoys TS4?
And now does we have sims 4 (that I uninstalled yesterday) the biggest disappointment in this decade...
You know what, you have a fantastic speaking voice, I like the snark and great commentary!
the townies were the best. i love that they were all homages to celebrities or characters. also, TWO lesbian couples!!
I got way too excited for the roller coaster and bought it way too quick. I do think it's a bit overpriced, but I'm okay with it.
lmfao "get tetanus along with your crabs"
*subs*
“So you can get tetanus along with your crabs” IM DEAD
Finally! An expansion for me and the 15 other people who wanted to use The Sims to play through The Great Gatspy!
Aw how cool! I turned this into a Miami type place to do a Sim Miami Vice world!
How do I find Setra? That town looks bomb as fuck.
Depending on your creativity, the rollercoaster is definitely worth the cost. The tracks are remarkably flexible in what's considered viable as long as you have moveobjects on. I've had a half circle turn pass through the middle of the loop with no problem. The track pieces are very unobtrusive and don't seem to interfere with the interaction of any nearby items.
They were in their bag with Sims3. What happened with 4?
It was supposed to be an online game but SimCity 2013 bombed and Well....
They got greedy. Expansions were made with care and loads of content, now they come with super small worlds and a tiny amount of broken content.
Sims4 was cobbled together from the pieces of the scrapped Project Olympus to meet a 1 year deadline.
The fact that EA only cared about that deadline and not about starting from scratch to make a good game says a lot about why Sims4 is the way it is.
Actually I like the melding or idea of blending the Aesthetic of that style form the Era and modern times :-3
I got it on a sale for 3 dollars 👑
FROM WHERE?!?!! 😱
Evelina Salvatore WHEREEE
Erica Joyce In Sweden sorry 😕
unoitnique In Sweden sorry 😕
Lucky 😥
I came here after I bought the sims 3 in 2022. I noticed the background music in the beginning is from Legend of Kyrandia 2 Darkmoor Swamp playing in the background.
We didn't know how good we had it
5:08 I still can’t believe there was still an actual door animation for the car LMAOOO
Your username! I LOVE IU!
when store items are better than packs...
SUCH POSITIVE!!!
Then Katy perry sweet treats came out
Damn I stopped playing TS3 around when this came out, this town looks perfect! Really can't be asked to re-install the game plus expansions though :(
Too much work
Look at all this shit we got with Sims 3... There's no way I can spend a dime on Sims 4.
This add on to the sims 3 gives me intense Great Gatsby vibes
Lauren Dolman Right? It looks fucking epic.
I wish ea would continue just adding onto sims 3
Wow, this makes me wish i had a computer that could play ts3 good!
