One of the little things I miss from the Sims 3 is the cuddle animation for couples when they sleep. Couples sharing a bed in Sims 4 feels so static, I miss them scoot over to spoon for a bit.
I miss teaching my teens how to drive a car. And POLICE, if the teens were out after like 10 or 11 they would get picked up by the police for breaking curfew and driven home.
If you play Sims 3 - give the NRAAS suite a go. There's some very detailed guides on YT to explain the parts. Truly fleshes out the game while ironing out the rough parts.
I think what is lacking from the Sims 4 is an amount of soul. It has aspects like a money making mobile game, very narrowly focused on the young adult life stage. And is very pointed at like 12-16 year olds (from a marketing perspective). That soul I think was the zany silly darkness of the Sims series. Which I think connects to the loss of the memory system and reactions which are what I miss over all from the sims 3. I think we are missing visceral reactions, like children witnessing parents fighting or seeing their parents cheat. Things that happen in real life. This is like the reputation system but deeper I think. Stuff like being fired from your job because you chose the wrong chance card or forgetting the burglar alarm and having an object you worked so hard for taken from your house. Fire being so deadly. I want my actions to matter in the game, and the events surrounding them to matter, and it seems like they really don’t matter at all. Which maybe is a bit weary feeling during our pandemic times but I miss the cloud of fear that my sims lived under. I don’t want random deaths (random in the true sense). But it seems so hard to actually kill sims without resorting to cheats or mods. I’m not like give me a murder expansion, or add hard drugs, that is what modders are for. There’s no danger, there is no risk, and no consequences for really anything I do.
Oh hey I remembered another thing, like the random aspirations your kids would get if you didn't raise them well enough. Your child is an evil grump because you neglected them when you went to the nightclub instead and stuck them with a nanny, also they hate you, would be a great consequence. A little loss of control is also something I miss.
I definitely think that each new iteration of the game has been aimed at a younger and younger target audience. TS2 was "edgier" than TS3 as well. Although TS3 is my favorite game in the franchise, one of few complaints I have is that it feels a bit childish compared to TS2. At TS4 it was frankly just getting ridiculous, both in terms of gameplay and that horrific cartoonish art style!
@@steffanharmaajarvi9839 You used to be able to buy and own multiple things in the Sims 3. You could become a partner and finally an owner of some of the local businesses. It’s super fun and you can rename the businesses that you bought! I think you can own multiple lots too like have a vacation home kind of thing, but I may be wrong on that.
Many many things, but i loved the beach! Building candidates, house boats, swimming, collecting shells, collecting in general. Proper pets. The colour wheel meant things MATCHED PROPERLY,
I loved the Island paradise pack, even tho I’m not the biggest fan of beaches etc. but there was just sooo much new stuff you could do. Especially exploring with an open map. I recently decided to play Sims 4 again and I was sitting there thinking to myself “Okay, what now?”. I don’t know why but I rarely go out in Sims 4 but I did go out in Sims 2.
Really small thing but I totally miss how couples started to cuddle in bed during the night. Dancing with each other and not everyone seperated in their own place. Drums!!! Why the heck do we only have guitar, violin and piano? Playing the drums was so much fun! Especially jamming together was soooo cool!!!
Currently playing Sims 3 with all of the packs for the first time. I did my first vacation ever and had a blast, tomb raiding was great. Wish I had known that there's not really much for children to do though, would've left kiddo at home, but she had fun meeting local kids at least. Now she's a teen learning to drive and has prom coming up soon. Desperately hoping for at least open neighborhoods in 5, I take my Sims places so much more in 3 because everything is just THERE. Also, opportunities! They tend to get my sims out of the house as well and I didn't realize how much I missed them.
Same. I had fun with the sims 3 when i was younger and only had like 2 expansion packs, but when you get to play with all the packs, it’s amazing and so addictive. Even sims 4 with all the packs can’t compare.
There won't be, there's a reason it's not in 4. They got rid of the things that caused the game to lag or crash. Open worlds was a big contribution to that lol. Especially during University Graduation, I almost was never able to get my sim in there or any family before it ended. It was so annoying
@@SolisIlanga no, they did so because with the better graphics and all, if they had an open world too you'd need a pretty decent computer to keep up with it. And most sim players aren't avid gamers with great processors and graphics cards lmao. Not too mention the size the games would be, they're already huge and you have expansion after expansion. If they did it like the sims 3, and had all the better graphics and such, that shit would easily exceed 500GB. And it would take forever to push out expansions because doing the AI and tracing at a decent level in that amount of space would take a long time because of all the options. And then on top of that would be the lagging and crashing problems lol. They do things for a reason, they don't just think to themselves, hm what can we do today to make our core audience mad😂 EA knows that the Sims series is probably their most profitable series, I don't think they're trying to fuck it up lol
It's been a long time since I played The Sims 3, but am I right in thinking that now well you attended to your pregnant Sims wishes would have an impact on the child's first traits? That was pretty cool. Anyway, great video as always!
@@edendrew I think it was even slightly more complex than that, so if you had a bad pregnancy they were more likely to get randomly assigned bad traits, with a decent pregnancy they might get randomly assigned better traits, fairly good and you'd get to pick one out of two, and with a very good pregnancy you got to pick both traits. Not 100% sure about the good/bad traits thing though, might just have been coincidence in my game.
Speaking as someone who currently plays Sims 3, it might be tied more to the mood meter. Keep momma in a great mood, pick two traits. Keep momma in a pretty good mood, pick one trait and the other is random. My playstyle makes for pretty happy sims, so beyond that I don't really know.
What I miss from the sims3 is the Graveyard! I miss having a place where you can bring your tombstones so that the ghost of the deceased sim doesn't keep braking your sanitary appliances.. Thers nothing that I hate more then sim Ghosts! They are annoying, useless and I whish they didn't exist at all! Or at least they had a graveyard...
i Take them to Vlads house as its by the cemetary and drop them off just outside his fence as you can place objects there, and it seems to be one of the few places they dont end up back in your inventory, and if you go visit Vlads place another day he is usualy mourning them :D :D
I miss the custom food for example if you had apples and you made pancakes they would be apple pancakes , also I miss the after school activities and field trips that would come with souvenirs and extra traits for the children/teens, being able to own multiple homes, and the graduations ! Seems like I just miss the sims generations lol
I love how when you gossip with other sims in sims3 you get a popup with real gossip :D and that gossip could be that someone is unfaithful or that someone had a child, it was really fun^^
I miss how much content the expansion packs had. I played with only two or three packs for a long time as a teen and I never got bored bc each pack had so many things to offer and so much unique gameplay. the expansion packs for the sims 4 feel so empty comapared to them. I've had most of the sims 3 packs for a while now yet I still discover new things I haven't seen yet. Meanwhile you've done everything in a sims 4 pack within a few hours and then it gets boring.
I'm sorry, but Open World and Create-a-Style or bust! If it's not in The Sims 5, I won't bother getting it. The lack of these features is why I don't play The Sims 4. It feels like such a step backwards.
I swear, I can't play Sims 3 because I can't get over the graphics... I have great expectations for Sims 5, I expect the best of all of the Sims in 1, with how vocal the community has been about Sims 4 and the other Sims in general, I hope they'll listen and deliver on Sims 5
@@InfamousGameplaysPT There is some cc to make sims look better if you want. But it does make the game lag more, so if you want to play the other games instead it's fine.
I have a laptop not too powerful and with average graphics lag only occasionally, I have NEVER found a bug, the graphics of the sims 3 is SO Much better than the sims 4
I wish there was a way for modders open the Sims 3 and remake it ourselves with the Sims 4 engine (or whatever alternative is better) EA would probably shut it down pretty quickly but it would be interesting to try
I doubt the Sims 4 engine would be good enough since EA whined about how they couldn't do anything for years because "engine limitations," only to release things with it later. It was also meant to be a really bad and limited online game.
I miss The fortune teller, burglars, teens sneaking out and getting picked up by police, teen parties,flu vaccine, teens learning to drive, the match maker, the showtime expansion. In showtime where you could send your sim on tour. I have every sims 3 expansion But I haven't played it in a while. I went back to it when my sims 4 game was broken. Also I've went back to the sims 1 and 2. I cringe at the graphics in sims 1 but it still has more gameplay. I just can't for the life of me figure out how to make the screen resolution fit my screen. Love the vids!
I love this video so much! But can we please stop with the compromises with EA for TS5. I've seen it from a lot of simmers and I'm just frustrated that we likely won't get a better game than TS3 from them in the future. And simmers on TH-cam making videos where they talk about open world being to difficult to get right and settling for open neighborhoods is just reassuring for them and quite scary for us. I don't know any simmer in real life who will buy the next game if EA can't even manage to make an open world function. I personally won't bother too. All we are wishing for the Sims 5 is for EA to care again and not make another mess that even after 7 years and a million packs, is less deep and fun than TS2 and 3 were, with less gameplay and animations too. I still remember what we hoped TS4 would be in 2014. A better open world with public transportation, gradual aging, different Sim heights, curved walls, water physics and the likes were the most prominent wishes. And what we are wishing for TS5 is less than what TS3 had to offer? There is a problem here in my opinion 😓
Yes I find it really frustrating as well, I'd rather just keep getting DLC for TS4 if they're going to be making compromises for TS5. Hell, I'd rather have 2009 quality graphics if it meant the gameplay was up to par. I didn't play Sims 4 for about 2 years because I was expecting so much out of it after enjoying the Sims 3.
@@murtleturtle4027 I think that's actually a good idea to be able to adjust like that! It could be in the game settings for performance options - bigger open area means more stuff that needs to render, meaning worse performance on slow machines, so if we had the option to choose between a few options that would be awesome! Those of us who want fully open worlds can get that, whereas people who prefer open neighborhoods or just loading one lot at a time can do that. Honestly that's a brilliant idea, it would make everyone happy and I can't imagine it's TOO hard to program (assuming they can make open worlds in the first place, but from there it shouldn't be too much of an issue to create different options)
I agree. I wouldn’t buy it we can’t get an open world. And Open world IS possible. Rather Computers improved as well! So if Sims 3 worked why not improve the coding etc. and make it work even smoother in Sims5?
@@KreeZafi Yes, that’s genius! But I bet they would not do that because it is too much effort for them and they would rather not invest too much time/money into the game so they’ll make a good profit out of it and still keep selling 5$ kits that gives u a fucking vacuum.
I definitely missed the open world of TS3. Too many loading screens take forever and will sometimes freeze. I wouldn’t mind rabbit holes as a trade-off, especially for most careers and schools. Just keep the options menu for activities while at school/work. And the color wheel for CAS! I’d definitely like them to add it back so we can have more options with clothing, hair and eye color. They managed to enhance the skin color options, I don’t see why they couldn’t do the same with other things.
Though houseboats and horses didn't mix that well. Actually, pets as a whole could make Isla Paradiso even more laggy than it already was, which is sad. I would love to play horse rancher in Isla Paradiso, but I don't dare. I am not masochist LOL
Petr Novák funnily enough, I never tried to mix them. I just would always either play with a family in a houseboat or a family that were horse breeders. I did play a family that had horses in that one Italian inspired world from the online store, though!
I miss all of the things you mentioned plus being able to take toddlers for a walk in the pram, putting babies in the rocker outside if you were out in the garden.
Loving your videos! Usually silent but I have to say something about this. Sims 3 in my opinion had everything I wanted. Zombies during Halloween, more diverse occult sims and even theives... Sigh.. I miss this.
The adventures on the World Adventures pack were SO MUCH FUN! Also I miss the scavenging and generally visiting the open world. I enjoyed getting my sh*t rocked by the catacombs at the cemetery too.
The two biggest step-ups from TS2 to TS3 were the open world and create-a-style/color wheel, and I absolutely loved both! I was gutted when neither was included in TS4. Lots of people seem to favor the idea of a semi open world, but to me that doesn't really feel sufficient. Saves you some loading screens I guess, but a large part of why I want open worlds is so that different household members can be in vastly different locations at the same time while still all being controllable. Have my kid go over to a friend's house after school while dad goes to the pool and mom works on her career skill at home, you know? And a lot of people complain about create-a-style but god I absolutely adored it, the creative aspect has always been one of my favorite parts of the Sims franchise (I am also the type to still play those little online dress-up games as an adult lol)! Everything became infinitely more versatile with create-a-style, it was marvellous, 10/10
The vacation worlds were really dope too. I didn't play a huge amount with World Adventures but nevertheless I appreciate it a lot. In TS4 all the worlds are incredibly lackluster, I'm still mad about how empty the Vampires world was, whereas World Adventures came with THREE WHOLE ENTIRE FULLY FLEDGED NEW WORLDS! The Sims 4 could never.
I think LGR summed up create a style best in his initial sims 4 review when the game came out: we don’t need 10 different variations of leopard print we just need like 1 or 2 so the options are there!
I'm still playing sims 3 on the same computer I played it on in high-school, now an 8 year old laptop, with lots of expansions and surprisingly it works so well!! I was playing a custom made world and it would. not. run. my game would pause for 10 minutes at a time. when I play something less insane it works so well and wow I just love this game. the open world!!! oh my god!!! its just so amazing and immersive and God I love the sims 3
Every time I “play” the sims 4 (aka just build) I get so sad. It feels so empty compared to the sims 3. It’s just crazy to me how it downgraded so much in terms of actual gameplay. :/
I miss everything, that's why I've started playing again. The experience is different from way back when I had a shitty laptop and was only able to play with 4 packs on medium specs😂 and it would still crash or error 12. The difference is that I have a bad ass laptop now, play with nraas mods, all packs and in big custom worlds with all specs on high, it's awesome.
Argggg omg the memories. I’m sad now. The sims 3 was the best! I mainly miss the colour wheel! I hate how there are only limited swatches in the sims 4 for paint colours and furniture. I only started playing the sims 4 last year because I loved the sims 3 so much. Also I miss cars!
I still play Sims 3 - I have the base game of Sims 4 and the Pets expansion, but I just can't seem to get into playing. Sims3 has a way of sneaking up on you and surprising you, whereas Sims4 seems to require you to orchestrate every little detail and takes away the element of surprise. I also love the open world or Sims 3 - Sims 4 just seems too tiny.
What I miss is not getting bored of the game. Back in the day I had the base game, late night and world adventures nothing else. I played it for yearsss. Never getting bored. Now I have all the expansions and I’m so bored I rather rebuild all the worlds
One thing I like in TS3 is having lots of public spaces with things in it ! TS4 worlds feel massive in scale compared to your sims, and so very very empty. I don't just want to go to a place to stand around with a friend and chit-chat, I want to do things and interact with the world, and feel like I'm actually in my town center, not either out in suburbia hell or in a different town entirely.
what I miss from the sims 3 is basically everything.... sims were so cool back then! I loved the vampires, they targeted people to drink their blood, it was harder to find out who's one - rn all they do is pop up in different places making sims annoyed or appear at your doors but won't come in without the trait that allows them to... curfew for teenagers, the police, diving! fairies, horses and unicorns!! really there's so much stuff it's insane! if i remember well you could play with animals?
the best way to do open world without an entire open world is by doing a semi-open world, where you have smaller neighborhoods of a bigger town but where there are no loading screens between lots (of the same neighborhood). Also, to make worlds feel more unique, there shouldn't be a way to fast travel instantly from anywhere to anywhere, but instead there should be modes of long-distance transportation available and the presence of sims from a different world should be an exception, not the rule. One of the things i miss the most from TS3, other than the open world, is the Nectar Making skill from World Adventures. Yeah we have canning and juice fizzing but nectar making is different because it also comes with shelves and canteens to store the nectar and make it age, you can also find precious bottles in the tombs and there was a large variety of grapes to make your combinations unique. Also i really miss the ability to buy and own lots. A rich sim could REALLY feel rich if they owned the whole town. And finally, i miss so many things from expansions, like pretty much everything from Island Paradise that isn't present in Island Living. The resorts, the exploration, the houseboats, diving underwater in coral reefs, actually saving people with the lifeguard profession...i do not miss the lag however. Or in general everything about Into the Future, or the firefighter profession from Ambitions...
For me the Sims 4 game lacks the “game” aspects. Becoming “as realistic as possible” is not always the best thing. For me, I think they are trying to take mods they saw creators using for the pass games and wanted to add them and force them on everyone themselves in the sims4. Sims 3 has that sense of entertainment and unrealism that people like to escape real world from. Sims 2 & 3 (mainly 3 for myself) will always be superior. Sims 4 lost me when they re added a loading screen going from place to place 🥴😣. I really on like the CAS. Love your videos ❤️❤️
I'm for the loading screens. Idk why so many people are against it, it's just when you're loading a lot. I had a lot of problems in 3 that would probably have been fixed if there was a loading screen on the lot. I was almost never able to do the graduation ceremony because all the sims would just stand there stuck.
I absolutely agree! I still have Sims 3 but rarely play on it And I also miss when you’d get an earthquake disaster in the Firefighter career. I know you can get it when you set a quake lot trait on the home you’re in I also miss the meteorites that I only had once in my Sims gaming life. That was cool to see
I forgot about these little details in The Sims 3, but it really was all those nice touches that brought SO much more heart and soul to the game that The Sims 4 lacks.
5:07 Weren't they introduced with Showtime? They were in Showtime, but I don't remember if they were included in the University pack as well. I miss so many things from Sims 3, specially second houses, lore, random deaths, opportunities, housemates, horses, arenas, cinemas, create a style, a design, a world, individual bios... well... I miss everything minus the build mode.
omg I didn't know we can watch the videos we captured on the tv!! this is awesome, I thought I perfectly know this game but it seems that everytime you feel you it better it actually give you more to explore!!! sims 3 is my favorite ❤
The quality of the vegetables and fruit are one step better in the super market than the ingredients in the fridge. I like this small details. The quality is normal in fridge, but it's nice quality in the super market and your sim can make slightly better quality of food with nice quality of ingredients which The Sims 4 doesn't have.
Like I dont think Sims 4 should have a fully open world. But neighborhoods should be open world. Like if I want to go to the house right next to mine I shouldn't have to go through a loading screen
The more I play the Sims 3 again, the more I like create a style. I didn't use it much, when I first played The Sims 3, but now I change almost anything! It's so much fun and I can truly customize.
I find the sims 4 more ‘user friendly’ I like the build mode and create a sim, and how easy it is to use. However, I feel a lot of the sims 4 is shallow and lacks the quirkinesses and personality that the previous versions had. The sims in the sims 2 and 3 feel more ‘alive’ to me than in the sims 4 and it feels like the traits I choose don’t really do anything or make much difference in the sims 4 like the did in 3. The children in sims 2 and 3 definitely had more depth and personality and did a lot of things autonomously that made them feel more like children where as sims 4 kind of makes me feel like I am playing with lifeless dolls and have to manually make them act interesting.
Sims 4 is the result of companies idea of what modern audiences want or are willing to buy. And honestly they know better than us because it works. In reality, from EA perspective, Sims 4 is a huge financial success. Modern audiences didn't play the old titles they don't know what to expect or what could there be other than the candy they are offered with Sims 4. And let me tell you, that candy is bland and tasteless. In sims 3 and previous titles the life simulation aspect was more fun and even realistic, the details matter such as the kissing animations, couples cuddling in bed, and many more, with only one aspiration a sim life could already be played a lot of different ways, you could create a more bleak and gruesome life environment for your sim or work towards making your sim happy, yes you had to work towards it, unlike Sims 4. But what really makes me think Sims 4 is trahs is EA took away what made the Sims game so popular back in the day. All those little gritty, dark and silliness aspects of life that could happen to your sim like getting mugged on the subway, sims reacting realistic to seeing their couple cheat in front of them, Sims 4 is a doll house and nothing more, You can't have meaningful relationships in Sims 4 because husbands and wives cheat constantly, especially since they made almost all sims a sexual orientation as broad as the universe. They will cheat with men or woman, animal or rock and it takes no effort at all from the player, even with charisma 1 you can get Tom's wife pregnant, he finds out and you still are best buddies and while we're at it you can also cheat Tom's wife with Tom and yeah they will get sad for two hours but in no time you're all best friends again. That's sims 4, a candyland utopia where every sim is always happy by default! Animations look like we're watching a kids carton with exaggerated movements. Every life stage feels and plays almost the exact same, there's no point to have a young adult, adult or elder if their gameplay is all the same. Did I mention that even picking different aspirations your sim life will always ultimately follow the same routine of endless happiness? Yes, you have emotions like sad, embarrassed etc, but they mean nothing, in no time and with no effort on the player part, your sim will be back into cadyland utopia full of happiness. And excluding physical appearance, your sims are indistinguishable from my sims, because the game has so few traits that they all once again feel and play the exact same as any other sims. But EA doesn't care about any of this. They sell packs that'll take you just two hours to explore all the new content if you're lucky and they sell it with ridiculous prices. And if you're unlucky, they'll sell you a pack with so little care and effort that it literally doesn't work like the wedding pack. But they continue to sell it like cupcakes and the modern audiences happily buy it so it clearly works, and so we have Sims 4, a trash game in my opinion but in reality a very successful game, and that's why I don't run a business. at really makes me think Sims 4 is trahs is EA took away what made the Sims game so popular back in the day. hat made the Sims and what made the game so popular and defined it was
I just want Sims 5 at this point. Hopefully the developers listen to the community and actually improve the game instead of giving us a literal downgrade. And imagine if EA wasn't the publisher. That would be heaven.
@@TheNinjaNikyyeah but EA is infamously known as one of the greediest gaming companies out there, they’ve been known to cut corners to make a profit and a bunch of other things you’ll find if you use a search engine. the thing is, when the sims originally came out it actually worked and sims had personalities. it was a game that actually had soul put into it rather than the corporate hellscape of sims 4.
There's more quality of life in here.we got to underwater explore,we got to become werewolves and Fairies we had cars we had a point system to buy extra stuff like a changing table a rocker and stroller...i personally think Sims 3 is better but sims 4 is not bad either but both games have their ups and downs. now if they added Genies,werewolves and Fairies and more nursery items even if it has to be a point system to earn them also add underwater exploration I think if Sims 4 Had these implemented I think it would make sims 4 better but in my opinion alot of people that play the sims most of em had turn to the Sims 3 because sims 4 is lacking alot of stuff that most if not all of us want in ts4 so I think until Ts4 has the stuff implemented ppl will turn to that more but for now bouncing from TS3 and TS4 is the way to go.i dont know how many or you agree .
I miss the slow dance, the memories, the open world, the Horses, house boats, swimming inside the ocean, proms and the festivals...they need to bring these back although I don't miss the graphics now that the Sims 4 is here It would be good if you could put a special festival inside the calender where it would change the park to a festival and if you could do the same with prom, where they would go to school as normal but later attend prom, if we could decide a prom date though via the calender that would be good
I think one way they could make a more open world esq sims game is to follow in the footsteps of the Sims 3 on xbox/playstation by have a world the broken up into neighborhoods which are open with in themselves with fun traveling loading screen when moving between neighborhoods. Something really cool about the job rabbit holes in sims 3 is that the building would upgrade when your sim reached lvl 10 of their career!
one thing i miss a lot is the baking station for the kids from sims 2 and 3 it was so fun i always put my kids playing on it to master cooking skills!!
I was hoping for horses to come back in cottage living but nope they didn't. That was when I fully change over from sims 2 cause it was completely new. 💖
I have a long history with the Sims. I played the first and second game, but when I saw three come out I was so excited that I bought the collector's edition. I also bought World Adventure and for most of my life that is all I had for expansion packs. BECAUSE THE BASE GAME WAS ALREADY FULL OF DEPTH AND FUN TO PLAY. I didn't NEED Expansion packs to make the game fun like the Sims 4. I just recently bought all the expansions and it is such an immersive experience that the Sims 4 can only dream of. I am so disappointed with how they took the sims and made it such a money grabber. Making every single feature in DLC and selling it separately just to make money.... Before we know it, they'll make a Pregnancy or Expecting Child DLC or an Elder pack to enhance that life stage. XD
I prefer Sims 4 because I play on Console and Sims 4 on console has all the additional stuff, while Sims 3 on console only had Pets. It was kind of sad. My computer barely runs any games, but I can enjoy Sims 4 on console. I do miss being able to change colors of things, but I really enjoy having access to all the content even if I won't get some of it. I like the having the opportunity.
I’m not even a sims player like that, but I love hearing people talk about it. Sims players are so passionate about it and it like seeing it lol. Simple as that.
The Sims 1 had the most realistic shopping in the sims series and it was carried over to the sims 2 but sadly both Sims 3 and Sims 4 do not have that feature even though expansion packs for the sims 3 add cash registers to the game but sims don’t interact with it like it’s predecessors and sims 4 doesn’t have cash registers as you buy things from tables, stalls, vending machines and computers.
i was just thinking abt tattoos in the sims 4 the other day like it’s so weird one day my sim has no tattoos and i just send her to CAS and boom she has one and no ones any the wiser it would even be nice if they would just add moodlets like go into cas get a tattoo and come back with an uncomfortable moodlet from the pain other sims should be able to comment on new tattoos and maybe parents could even get moodlets if they disapprove and omg i completely miss when sims in ts3 would gossip and you would get a pop up with the actual gossip your sims were spilling i feel like it added so much depth to my game play actually knowing a little about what my sims were talking about
@@jennytimelord9689 well the sims is not just a sandbox game it have their own dramas and ther own storyline. The sims 4 is just a sandbox game that looks fan made, and a good copy of the sims1. whit out any characters story lines also on the beginning of was a shocking despondent, and until this day most gamers compre how they wish for things that will never happen and how is lacking so much in the gameplay. So the sims 4 is basically a copy of the sims one but upgraded and is also a money eater whit ther packs that make zero sense. I love the sims but at this pont EA don't care about the sims or ther fans they wants money and money so at this point I will be just waiting for Paralive and hope they be normal people and not money eater.
I really don't see why sims 5 couldn't have an open world... we're talking about the year 22 at this point plenty of games have open worlds The Sims doesn't have to be any different.
I almost have ever pack to sim 3 and you are right I too miss the color wheel and I hope is sim 5 has better make up but still love to play sim 3 and 4
didnt the photobooth come with showtime? im pretty sure i had the photobooth a while before i got university since it was one of the last packs i got my hands on. its featured in a few buildings that come with showtime i believe but alas i play in swedish so i cant state them but that karaoke bar is one of them

One of the little things I miss from the Sims 3 is the cuddle animation for couples when they sleep. Couples sharing a bed in Sims 4 feels so static, I miss them scoot over to spoon for a bit.
On Sims 2 they'd cuddle and before they got up they'd chill there for a while hugging each other and then kiss their forehead
I really really miss this little detail too! :(
I could literally watch them all night so cute
This. You have no idea how much I want this in TS4.
Yeah tht was so cute
I miss teaching my teens how to drive a car. And POLICE, if the teens were out after like 10 or 11 they would get picked up by the police for breaking curfew and driven home.
I miss being able to carry babies to the park with me and just chilling on a bench with the baby while the kids play nearby.
And then a meteor suddenly strike you and the kids 😂
The dumbest person in the world award goes to... THE SIMS WE CREATE!!!
I serisouly miss baby's not being an object
When you go to your neighbours house and their baby just chilling on the ground and you can't carry it lol
Also the baby in buggy
I find it strange that I didn't know what mods were until Sims 4.. The previous versions were so nice that mods never even crossed my mind
Same I only ever had CC.
If you play Sims 3 - give the NRAAS suite a go. There's some very detailed guides on YT to explain the parts. Truly fleshes out the game while ironing out the rough parts.
@@waltlock8805 thx 4 this
I think what is lacking from the Sims 4 is an amount of soul. It has aspects like a money making mobile game, very narrowly focused on the young adult life stage. And is very pointed at like 12-16 year olds (from a marketing perspective). That soul I think was the zany silly darkness of the Sims series.
Which I think connects to the loss of the memory system and reactions which are what I miss over all from the sims 3. I think we are missing visceral reactions, like children witnessing parents fighting or seeing their parents cheat. Things that happen in real life. This is like the reputation system but deeper I think. Stuff like being fired from your job because you chose the wrong chance card or forgetting the burglar alarm and having an object you worked so hard for taken from your house. Fire being so deadly.
I want my actions to matter in the game, and the events surrounding them to matter, and it seems like they really don’t matter at all. Which maybe is a bit weary feeling during our pandemic times but I miss the cloud of fear that my sims lived under. I don’t want random deaths (random in the true sense). But it seems so hard to actually kill sims without resorting to cheats or mods. I’m not like give me a murder expansion, or add hard drugs, that is what modders are for. There’s no danger, there is no risk, and no consequences for really anything I do.
Oh hey I remembered another thing, like the random aspirations your kids would get if you didn't raise them well enough. Your child is an evil grump because you neglected them when you went to the nightclub instead and stuck them with a nanny, also they hate you, would be a great consequence. A little loss of control is also something I miss.
I would say the sims 4 is targeted towards a much younger audience like 10-14
@@stevielawler1028 with every sequel they did "dumb" it down even more, take sims 1 for example, it was much more mature than all the other ones.
@@Avareee. yep, it's a shame. its not a 'teen' game anymore, its a kids game
I definitely think that each new iteration of the game has been aimed at a younger and younger target audience. TS2 was "edgier" than TS3 as well. Although TS3 is my favorite game in the franchise, one of few complaints I have is that it feels a bit childish compared to TS2. At TS4 it was frankly just getting ridiculous, both in terms of gameplay and that horrific cartoonish art style!
I really miss being able to buy the town and having to collect money once a sim week
Agreed!
What?!
@@steffanharmaajarvi9839 You used to be able to buy and own multiple things in the Sims 3. You could become a partner and finally an owner of some of the local businesses. It’s super fun and you can rename the businesses that you bought! I think you can own multiple lots too like have a vacation home kind of thing, but I may be wrong on that.

Many many things, but i loved the beach! Building candidates, house boats, swimming, collecting shells, collecting in general. Proper pets. The colour wheel meant things MATCHED PROPERLY,
I loved the Island paradise pack, even tho I’m not the biggest fan of beaches etc. but there was just sooo much new stuff you could do. Especially exploring with an open map. I recently decided to play Sims 4 again and I was sitting there thinking to myself “Okay, what now?”. I don’t know why but I rarely go out in Sims 4 but I did go out in Sims 2.
Sims 3 will always be the best out of the sims franchise 😭😭 I love it so much
Yesss..nothing will ever beat it
The family tree was awesome, just drag the avatars together and you can decide if they’re spouses, fiancée, bf/gf, siblings or off-spring
Really small thing but I totally miss how couples started to cuddle in bed during the night. Dancing with each other and not everyone seperated in their own place. Drums!!! Why the heck do we only have guitar, violin and piano? Playing the drums was so much fun! Especially jamming together was soooo cool!!!
Oh and what I miss really badly are werewolfs!!!! I just LOVED them!
Currently playing Sims 3 with all of the packs for the first time. I did my first vacation ever and had a blast, tomb raiding was great. Wish I had known that there's not really much for children to do though, would've left kiddo at home, but she had fun meeting local kids at least. Now she's a teen learning to drive and has prom coming up soon.
Desperately hoping for at least open neighborhoods in 5, I take my Sims places so much more in 3 because everything is just THERE. Also, opportunities! They tend to get my sims out of the house as well and I didn't realize how much I missed them.
Same. I had fun with the sims 3 when i was younger and only had like 2 expansion packs, but when you get to play with all the packs, it’s amazing and so addictive. Even sims 4 with all the packs can’t compare.
There won't be, there's a reason it's not in 4. They got rid of the things that caused the game to lag or crash. Open worlds was a big contribution to that lol. Especially during University Graduation, I almost was never able to get my sim in there or any family before it ended. It was so annoying
@@SolisIlanga no, they did so because with the better graphics and all, if they had an open world too you'd need a pretty decent computer to keep up with it. And most sim players aren't avid gamers with great processors and graphics cards lmao. Not too mention the size the games would be, they're already huge and you have expansion after expansion. If they did it like the sims 3, and had all the better graphics and such, that shit would easily exceed 500GB. And it would take forever to push out expansions because doing the AI and tracing at a decent level in that amount of space would take a long time because of all the options. And then on top of that would be the lagging and crashing problems lol. They do things for a reason, they don't just think to themselves, hm what can we do today to make our core audience mad😂 EA knows that the Sims series is probably their most profitable series, I don't think they're trying to fuck it up lol
@@SolisIlanga I can't even phantom how bad the FPS drops would be😂
It's been a long time since I played The Sims 3, but am I right in thinking that now well you attended to your pregnant Sims wishes would have an impact on the child's first traits? That was pretty cool. Anyway, great video as always!
oh yeah!!! and like how well you raised your kids would determine if you got to choose their traits or not. that was very cool
@@edendrew I think it was even slightly more complex than that, so if you had a bad pregnancy they were more likely to get randomly assigned bad traits, with a decent pregnancy they might get randomly assigned better traits, fairly good and you'd get to pick one out of two, and with a very good pregnancy you got to pick both traits. Not 100% sure about the good/bad traits thing though, might just have been coincidence in my game.
Speaking as someone who currently plays Sims 3, it might be tied more to the mood meter. Keep momma in a great mood, pick two traits. Keep momma in a pretty good mood, pick one trait and the other is random. My playstyle makes for pretty happy sims, so beyond that I don't really know.
What I miss from the sims3 is the Graveyard! I miss having a place where you can bring your tombstones so that the ghost of the deceased sim doesn't keep braking your sanitary appliances.. Thers nothing that I hate more then sim Ghosts! They are annoying, useless and I whish they didn't exist at all! Or at least they had a graveyard...
i Take them to Vlads house as its by the cemetary and drop them off just outside his fence as you can place objects there, and it seems to be one of the few places they dont end up back in your inventory, and if you go visit Vlads place another day he is usualy mourning them :D :D
I miss the custom food for example if you had apples and you made pancakes they would be apple pancakes , also I miss the after school activities and field trips that would come with souvenirs and extra traits for the children/teens, being able to own multiple homes, and the graduations ! Seems like I just miss the sims generations lol
I love how when you gossip with other sims in sims3 you get a popup with real gossip :D and that gossip could be that someone is unfaithful or that someone had a child, it was really fun^^
I miss being able to open and manage resorts. Omg and the careers that came with Showtime. Acrobat, singer. Ahead of its time.
I miss how much content the expansion packs had. I played with only two or three packs for a long time as a teen and I never got bored bc each pack had so many things to offer and so much unique gameplay. the expansion packs for the sims 4 feel so empty comapared to them. I've had most of the sims 3 packs for a while now yet I still discover new things I haven't seen yet. Meanwhile you've done everything in a sims 4 pack within a few hours and then it gets boring.
I'm sorry, but Open World and Create-a-Style or bust! If it's not in The Sims 5, I won't bother getting it. The lack of these features is why I don't play The Sims 4. It feels like such a step backwards.
I absolutely LOVED the vacation worlds. They felt so complete!
I miss so much about the sims 3. Just not the constant crashing and lagging and the terrifying faces with their shiny clothing.
I swear, I can't play Sims 3 because I can't get over the graphics... I have great expectations for Sims 5, I expect the best of all of the Sims in 1, with how vocal the community has been about Sims 4 and the other Sims in general, I hope they'll listen and deliver on Sims 5

@@ilgiuse7728 Sims 3 also has the most realistic lighting and shader effects in the series so far. From 2009
The Sims 3 is the game I have the most hours in. SUCH a good game.
I wish there was a way for modders open the Sims 3 and remake it ourselves with the Sims 4 engine (or whatever alternative is better) EA would probably shut it down pretty quickly but it would be interesting to try
Yeah lol fuck EA. Let's just make sims 5 ourselves and not give them a penny 😂
I doubt the Sims 4 engine would be good enough since EA whined about how they couldn't do anything for years because "engine limitations," only to release things with it later. It was also meant to be a really bad and limited online game.
I miss The fortune teller, burglars, teens sneaking out and getting picked up by police, teen parties,flu vaccine, teens learning to drive, the match maker, the showtime expansion. In showtime where you could send your sim on tour. I have every sims 3 expansion But I haven't played it in a while. I went back to it when my sims 4 game was broken. Also I've went back to the sims 1 and 2. I cringe at the graphics in sims 1 but it still has more gameplay. I just can't for the life of me figure out how to make the screen resolution fit my screen. Love the vids!
I miss small pets for sure. I loved having a pet bird in the game! I now have a pet bird IRL and would love to give my Sims the same.. experience lol
I forgot the Sims 3 even had proms! They were genuinely so fun, for me it was the whole point to play teenage sims all the way through
I love this video so much! But can we please stop with the compromises with EA for TS5. I've seen it from a lot of simmers and I'm just frustrated that we likely won't get a better game than TS3 from them in the future. And simmers on TH-cam making videos where they talk about open world being to difficult to get right and settling for open neighborhoods is just reassuring for them and quite scary for us.
I don't know any simmer in real life who will buy the next game if EA can't even manage to make an open world function. I personally won't bother too. All we are wishing for the Sims 5 is for EA to care again and not make another mess that even after 7 years and a million packs, is less deep and fun than TS2 and 3 were, with less gameplay and animations too.
I still remember what we hoped TS4 would be in 2014. A better open world with public transportation, gradual aging, different Sim heights, curved walls, water physics and the likes were the most prominent wishes. And what we are wishing for TS5 is less than what TS3 had to offer? There is a problem here in my opinion 😓
Yes I find it really frustrating as well, I'd rather just keep getting DLC for TS4 if they're going to be making compromises for TS5. Hell, I'd rather have 2009 quality graphics if it meant the gameplay was up to par. I didn't play Sims 4 for about 2 years because I was expecting so much out of it after enjoying the Sims 3.
@@murtleturtle4027 I think that's actually a good idea to be able to adjust like that! It could be in the game settings for performance options - bigger open area means more stuff that needs to render, meaning worse performance on slow machines, so if we had the option to choose between a few options that would be awesome! Those of us who want fully open worlds can get that, whereas people who prefer open neighborhoods or just loading one lot at a time can do that. Honestly that's a brilliant idea, it would make everyone happy and I can't imagine it's TOO hard to program (assuming they can make open worlds in the first place, but from there it shouldn't be too much of an issue to create different options)
I agree. I wouldn’t buy it we can’t get an open world. And Open world IS possible. Rather Computers improved as well! So if Sims 3 worked why not improve the coding etc. and make it work even smoother in Sims5?
@@KreeZafi Yes, that’s genius! But I bet they would not do that because it is too much effort for them and they would rather not invest too much time/money into the game so they’ll make a good profit out of it and still keep selling 5$ kits that gives u a fucking vacuum.
Hence why I'm waiting on Paralives, no matter how long it takes. Paralives in my mind is the true successor to The Sims 3.
I miss when the robberies occurred while all your sims were sleeping and putting up alarm systems.
I definitely missed the open world of TS3. Too many loading screens take forever and will sometimes freeze. I wouldn’t mind rabbit holes as a trade-off, especially for most careers and schools. Just keep the options menu for activities while at school/work. And the color wheel for CAS! I’d definitely like them to add it back so we can have more options with clothing, hair and eye color. They managed to enhance the skin color options, I don’t see why they couldn’t do the same with other things.
I miss open world so bad
I miss the tattoos and underwater diving 😢. they could have done so much in islands living like giving mermaids more functions as an occult .
In 2011 i only had the sims 3 base game and never got bored with it, but for sims 4 to be enjoyable you need to have every expansion and game pack
I used to always play with horses and houseboats like every other save I had, I miss them so so much.
Though houseboats and horses didn't mix that well. Actually, pets as a whole could make Isla Paradiso even more laggy than it already was, which is sad. I would love to play horse rancher in Isla Paradiso, but I don't dare. I am not masochist LOL
Petr Novák funnily enough, I never tried to mix them. I just would always either play with a family in a houseboat or a family that were horse breeders. I did play a family that had horses in that one Italian inspired world from the online store, though!
I miss all of the things you mentioned plus being able to take toddlers for a walk in the pram, putting babies in the rocker outside if you were out in the garden.
Loving your videos! Usually silent but I have to say something about this. Sims 3 in my opinion had everything I wanted. Zombies during Halloween, more diverse occult sims and even theives... Sigh.. I miss this.
The adventures on the World Adventures pack were SO MUCH FUN! Also I miss the scavenging and generally visiting the open world. I enjoyed getting my sh*t rocked by the catacombs at the cemetery too.
The Sims 2 personality and details + The Sims 3 open world and cars + The Sims 4 CAS and build mode = perfect game
That would also probably require a decent computer to run then😂
Why be a PC player and not have a PC gaming rig?
Make it make sense. Pay to play
The two biggest step-ups from TS2 to TS3 were the open world and create-a-style/color wheel, and I absolutely loved both! I was gutted when neither was included in TS4. Lots of people seem to favor the idea of a semi open world, but to me that doesn't really feel sufficient. Saves you some loading screens I guess, but a large part of why I want open worlds is so that different household members can be in vastly different locations at the same time while still all being controllable. Have my kid go over to a friend's house after school while dad goes to the pool and mom works on her career skill at home, you know? And a lot of people complain about create-a-style but god I absolutely adored it, the creative aspect has always been one of my favorite parts of the Sims franchise (I am also the type to still play those little online dress-up games as an adult lol)! Everything became infinitely more versatile with create-a-style, it was marvellous, 10/10
The vacation worlds were really dope too. I didn't play a huge amount with World Adventures but nevertheless I appreciate it a lot. In TS4 all the worlds are incredibly lackluster, I'm still mad about how empty the Vampires world was, whereas World Adventures came with THREE WHOLE ENTIRE FULLY FLEDGED NEW WORLDS! The Sims 4 could never.
I think LGR summed up create a style best in his initial sims 4 review when the game came out: we don’t need 10 different variations of leopard print we just need like 1 or 2 so the options are there!
I'm still playing sims 3 on the same computer I played it on in high-school, now an 8 year old laptop, with lots of expansions and surprisingly it works so well!! I was playing a custom made world and it would. not. run. my game would pause for 10 minutes at a time. when I play something less insane it works so well and wow I just love this game. the open world!!! oh my god!!! its just so amazing and immersive and God I love the sims 3
Every time I “play” the sims 4 (aka just build) I get so sad. It feels so empty compared to the sims 3. It’s just crazy to me how it downgraded so much in terms of actual gameplay. :/
I miss everything, that's why I've started playing again. The experience is different from way back when I had a shitty laptop and was only able to play with 4 packs on medium specs😂 and it would still crash or error 12. The difference is that I have a bad ass laptop now, play with nraas mods, all packs and in big custom worlds with all specs on high, it's awesome.
Argggg omg the memories. I’m sad now. The sims 3 was the best! I mainly miss the colour wheel! I hate how there are only limited swatches in the sims 4 for paint colours and furniture. I only started playing the sims 4 last year because I loved the sims 3 so much. Also I miss cars!
I still play Sims 3 - I have the base game of Sims 4 and the Pets expansion, but I just can't seem to get into playing. Sims3 has a way of sneaking up on you and surprising you, whereas Sims4 seems to require you to orchestrate every little detail and takes away the element of surprise. I also love the open world or Sims 3 - Sims 4 just seems too tiny.
What I miss is not getting bored of the game. Back in the day I had the base game, late night and world adventures nothing else. I played it for yearsss. Never getting bored. Now I have all the expansions and I’m so bored I rather rebuild all the worlds
One thing I like in TS3 is having lots of public spaces with things in it ! TS4 worlds feel massive in scale compared to your sims, and so very very empty. I don't just want to go to a place to stand around with a friend and chit-chat, I want to do things and interact with the world, and feel like I'm actually in my town center, not either out in suburbia hell or in a different town entirely.
what I miss from the sims 3 is basically everything.... sims were so cool back then! I loved the vampires, they targeted people to drink their blood, it was harder to find out who's one - rn all they do is pop up in different places making sims annoyed or appear at your doors but won't come in without the trait that allows them to... curfew for teenagers, the police, diving! fairies, horses and unicorns!! really there's so much stuff it's insane! if i remember well you could play with animals?
I don't miss anything from the sims 3 as I still play it and I tried out sims 4 only once, and it was enought to convince me to stick to sims 3
pets was sooooo packed...supernatural was amazing even the music...oh i miss this.
the best way to do open world without an entire open world is by doing a semi-open world, where you have smaller neighborhoods of a bigger town but where there are no loading screens between lots (of the same neighborhood). Also, to make worlds feel more unique, there shouldn't be a way to fast travel instantly from anywhere to anywhere, but instead there should be modes of long-distance transportation available and the presence of sims from a different world should be an exception, not the rule.
One of the things i miss the most from TS3, other than the open world, is the Nectar Making skill from World Adventures. Yeah we have canning and juice fizzing but nectar making is different because it also comes with shelves and canteens to store the nectar and make it age, you can also find precious bottles in the tombs and there was a large variety of grapes to make your combinations unique.
Also i really miss the ability to buy and own lots. A rich sim could REALLY feel rich if they owned the whole town.
And finally, i miss so many things from expansions, like pretty much everything from Island Paradise that isn't present in Island Living. The resorts, the exploration, the houseboats, diving underwater in coral reefs, actually saving people with the lifeguard profession...i do not miss the lag however. Or in general everything about Into the Future, or the firefighter profession from Ambitions...
For me the Sims 4 game lacks the “game” aspects. Becoming “as realistic as possible” is not always the best thing. For me, I think they are trying to take mods they saw creators using for the pass games and wanted to add them and force them on everyone themselves in the sims4. Sims 3 has that sense of entertainment and unrealism that people like to escape real world from. Sims 2 & 3 (mainly 3 for myself) will always be superior. Sims 4 lost me when they re added a loading screen going from place to place 🥴😣. I really on like the CAS. Love your videos ❤️❤️
I'm for the loading screens. Idk why so many people are against it, it's just when you're loading a lot. I had a lot of problems in 3 that would probably have been fixed if there was a loading screen on the lot. I was almost never able to do the graduation ceremony because all the sims would just stand there stuck.
I absolutely agree!
I still have Sims 3 but rarely play on it
And I also miss when you’d get an earthquake disaster in the Firefighter career. I know you can get it when you set a quake lot trait on the home you’re in
I also miss the meteorites that I only had once in my Sims gaming life. That was cool to see
mine sim once got killed by a meteor
I forgot about these little details in The Sims 3, but it really was all those nice touches that brought SO much more heart and soul to the game that The Sims 4 lacks.
I have the sims 2, sims 3, sims 4. For gameplay i prefer sims 3 & sims 2, for building and graphics i prefer sims 4
Exactly this!
5:07 Weren't they introduced with Showtime? They were in Showtime, but I don't remember if they were included in the University pack as well.
I miss so many things from Sims 3, specially second houses, lore, random deaths, opportunities, housemates, horses, arenas, cinemas, create a style, a design, a world, individual bios... well... I miss everything minus the build mode.
I tried Sims 4 for a minute. Went back to Sims 3. But honestly, why are the expansion packs still $19.99?!
omg I didn't know we can watch the videos we captured on the tv!! this is awesome, I thought I perfectly know this game but it seems that everytime you feel you it better it actually give you more to explore!!! sims 3 is my favorite ❤
The quality of the vegetables and fruit are one step better in the super market than the ingredients in the fridge. I like this small details. The quality is normal in fridge, but it's nice quality in the super market and your sim can make slightly better quality of food with nice quality of ingredients which The Sims 4 doesn't have.
sims 3 was better because it was much more REALISTIC...school bus..carpool...cars...subway..everything
Like I dont think Sims 4 should have a fully open world. But neighborhoods should be open world. Like if I want to go to the house right next to mine I shouldn't have to go through a loading screen
The more I play the Sims 3 again, the more I like create a style. I didn't use it much, when I first played The Sims 3, but now I change almost anything! It's so much fun and I can truly customize.
I miss owning a resort and the real vacations!!!
I find the sims 4 more ‘user friendly’ I like the build mode and create a sim, and how easy it is to use. However, I feel a lot of the sims 4 is shallow and lacks the quirkinesses and personality that the previous versions had. The sims in the sims 2 and 3 feel more ‘alive’ to me than in the sims 4 and it feels like the traits I choose don’t really do anything or make much difference in the sims 4 like the did in 3. The children in sims 2 and 3 definitely had more depth and personality and did a lot of things autonomously that made them feel more like children where as sims 4 kind of makes me feel like I am playing with lifeless dolls and have to manually make them act interesting.
Sims 4 is the result of companies idea of what modern audiences want or are willing to buy. And honestly they know better than us because it works. In reality, from EA perspective, Sims 4 is a huge financial success. Modern audiences didn't play the old titles they don't know what to expect or what could there be other than the candy they are offered with Sims 4. And let me tell you, that candy is bland and tasteless. In sims 3 and previous titles the life simulation aspect was more fun and even realistic, the details matter such as the kissing animations, couples cuddling in bed, and many more, with only one aspiration a sim life could already be played a lot of different ways, you could create a more bleak and gruesome life environment for your sim or work towards making your sim happy, yes you had to work towards it, unlike Sims 4. But what really makes me think Sims 4 is trahs is EA took away what made the Sims game so popular back in the day. All those little gritty, dark and silliness aspects of life that could happen to your sim like getting mugged on the subway, sims reacting realistic to seeing their couple cheat in front of them, Sims 4 is a doll house and nothing more, You can't have meaningful relationships in Sims 4 because husbands and wives cheat constantly, especially since they made almost all sims a sexual orientation as broad as the universe. They will cheat with men or woman, animal or rock and it takes no effort at all from the player, even with charisma 1 you can get Tom's wife pregnant, he finds out and you still are best buddies and while we're at it you can also cheat Tom's wife with Tom and yeah they will get sad for two hours but in no time you're all best friends again.
That's sims 4, a candyland utopia where every sim is always happy by default! Animations look like we're watching a kids carton with exaggerated movements. Every life stage feels and plays almost the exact same, there's no point to have a young adult, adult or elder if their gameplay is all the same. Did I mention that even picking different aspirations your sim life will always ultimately follow the same routine of endless happiness? Yes, you have emotions like sad, embarrassed etc, but they mean nothing, in no time and with no effort on the player part, your sim will be back into cadyland utopia full of happiness. And excluding physical appearance, your sims are indistinguishable from my sims, because the game has so few traits that they all once again feel and play the exact same as any other sims.
But EA doesn't care about any of this. They sell packs that'll take you just two hours to explore all the new content if you're lucky and they sell it with ridiculous prices. And if you're unlucky, they'll sell you a pack with so little care and effort that it literally doesn't work like the wedding pack. But they continue to sell it like cupcakes and the modern audiences happily buy it so it clearly works, and so we have Sims 4, a trash game in my opinion but in reality a very successful game, and that's why I don't run a business.
at really makes me think Sims 4 is trahs is EA took away what made the Sims game so popular back in the day. hat made the Sims and what made the game so popular and defined it was
I miss nothing from The Sims 3 because I play it all the time still.
I just want Sims 5 at this point. Hopefully the developers listen to the community and actually improve the game instead of giving us a literal downgrade. And imagine if EA wasn't the publisher. That would be heaven.
I don't understand? EA has been the publisher since pretty much the beginning😂
Paralives is Sims 5 with a different publisher
@@TheNinjaNikyyeah but EA is infamously known as one of the greediest gaming companies out there, they’ve been known to cut corners to make a profit and a bunch of other things you’ll find if you use a search engine. the thing is, when the sims originally came out it actually worked and sims had personalities. it was a game that actually had soul put into it rather than the corporate hellscape of sims 4.
Does anyone else miss it when a vampire toddler would play with their teddy bear?
What I always realize, when I boot up the Sims 3, I ALWAYS forget how ,,filled“ it actually is. Filled with literally everything and anything!
There's more quality of life in here.we got to underwater explore,we got to become werewolves and Fairies we had cars we had a point system to buy extra stuff like a changing table a rocker and stroller...i personally think Sims 3 is better but sims 4 is not bad either but both games have their ups and downs. now if they added Genies,werewolves and Fairies and more nursery items even if it has to be a point system to earn them also add underwater exploration I think if Sims 4
Had these implemented I think it would make sims 4 better but in my opinion alot of people that play the sims most of em had turn to the Sims 3 because sims 4 is lacking alot of stuff that most if not all of us want in ts4 so I think until Ts4 has the stuff implemented ppl will turn to that more but for now bouncing from TS3 and TS4 is the way to go.i dont know how many or you agree .
I miss the slow dance, the memories, the open world, the Horses, house boats, swimming inside the ocean, proms and the festivals...they need to bring these back although I don't miss the graphics now that the Sims 4 is here
It would be good if you could put a special festival inside the calender where it would change the park to a festival and if you could do the same with prom, where they would go to school as normal but later attend prom, if we could decide a prom date though via the calender that would be good
A Semi-Open World like the console versions of TS3 would be great in TS4 and Rabbit Holes would make TS4 maps looks less empty
I think one way they could make a more open world esq sims game is to follow in the footsteps of the Sims 3 on xbox/playstation by have a world the broken up into neighborhoods which are open with in themselves with fun traveling loading screen when moving between neighborhoods.
Something really cool about the job rabbit holes in sims 3 is that the building would upgrade when your sim reached lvl 10 of their career!
one thing i miss a lot is the baking station for the kids from sims 2 and 3 it was so fun i always put my kids playing on it to master cooking skills!!
I always said Sims 4 should have been sims 3 and sims 3 should have been have been sims4
it’s crazy how you really have to have mods to enjoy the sims 4
I was hoping for horses to come back in cottage living but nope they didn't. That was when I fully change over from sims 2 cause it was completely new. 💖
I want the Sims 3 but with the Sims 4 graphics and abilities to do multiple things at once.
I have a long history with the Sims. I played the first and second game, but when I saw three come out I was so excited that I bought the collector's edition. I also bought World Adventure and for most of my life that is all I had for expansion packs. BECAUSE THE BASE GAME WAS ALREADY FULL OF DEPTH AND FUN TO PLAY. I didn't NEED Expansion packs to make the game fun like the Sims 4. I just recently bought all the expansions and it is such an immersive experience that the Sims 4 can only dream of. I am so disappointed with how they took the sims and made it such a money grabber. Making every single feature in DLC and selling it separately just to make money.... Before we know it, they'll make a Pregnancy or Expecting Child DLC or an Elder pack to enhance that life stage. XD
I miss the fairies and (if I remember correctly) there were brooms for child witches/ wizards.
I prefer Sims 4 because I play on Console and Sims 4 on console has all the additional stuff, while Sims 3 on console only had Pets. It was kind of sad. My computer barely runs any games, but I can enjoy Sims 4 on console. I do miss being able to change colors of things, but I really enjoy having access to all the content even if I won't get some of it. I like the having the opportunity.
I missed in the sims 2 (maybe 1?)where you had to buy clothes!! It was more incentive to make $$ to collect your favorite clothes.
world adventures and scuba diving in islo paradios was great, too
I didn't really play my sims 3 cats and dogs on my Xbox 360 cuz I didn't understand but the thing I LOVED was the cradles and bottles for toddlers
I’m not even a sims player like that, but I love hearing people talk about it. Sims players are so passionate about it and it like seeing it lol. Simple as that.
The sims 3 was the one I had the most fun with, I miss it so much
The Sims 1 had the most realistic shopping in the sims series and it was carried over to the sims 2 but sadly both Sims 3 and Sims 4 do not have that feature even though expansion packs for the sims 3 add cash registers to the game but sims don’t interact with it like it’s predecessors and sims 4 doesn’t have cash registers as you buy things from tables, stalls, vending machines and computers.
i was just thinking abt tattoos in the sims 4 the other day like it’s so weird one day my sim has no tattoos and i just send her to CAS and boom she has one and no ones any the wiser it would even be nice if they would just add moodlets like go into cas get a tattoo and come back with an uncomfortable moodlet from the pain other sims should be able to comment on new tattoos and maybe parents could even get moodlets if they disapprove and omg i completely miss when sims in ts3 would gossip and you would get a pop up with the actual gossip your sims were spilling i feel like it added so much depth to my game play actually knowing a little about what my sims were talking about
I don't feel that the sims 4 is not classified as the sims anymore it just a whole new gameplay and I don't classified as part of the sims series.
So you do also not consider sims 1 and 2 sims games 🤔 what about sims 4 would make it not sims?
@@jennytimelord9689 well the sims is not just a sandbox game it have their own dramas and ther own storyline.
The sims 4 is just a sandbox game that looks fan made, and a good copy of the sims1. whit out any characters story lines also on the beginning of was a shocking despondent, and until this day most gamers compre how they wish for things that will never happen and how is lacking so much in the gameplay.
So the sims 4 is basically a copy of the sims one but upgraded and is also a money eater whit ther packs that make zero sense.
I love the sims but at this pont EA don't care about the sims or ther fans they wants money and money so at this point I will be just waiting for Paralive and hope they be normal people and not money eater.
i miss the sims 3 tombs! i spent hours exploring them
I really don't see why sims 5 couldn't have an open world... we're talking about the year 22 at this point plenty of games have open worlds The Sims doesn't have to be any different.
what about the greenhouse and gardening you could do in sims 3 sorry for bad eng
I have more fun watching your sims videos than playing the sims 4 lol
The option for 'make out on the bed'...wow, THAT always made me feel creepy
I love sims 3 the most tbh, it just feels more whole and always has to me but it doesnt run well on my pc anymore T-T
No we DO want open world in The Sims 5! It just makes everything in the town feel more alive!
I almost have ever pack to sim 3 and you are right I too miss the color wheel and I hope is sim 5 has better make up but still love to play sim 3 and 4
Sims 3 is the elite. I was so disappointed with sims 4 because they’ve removed sooo many good things
I miss building and owning a resort. And pointy ears without having to be a vampire.
Your voice and accent are incredibly satisfying.
I miss things like on bustin out where there's a storyline or something to actually focus on and have fun with
didnt the photobooth come with showtime? im pretty sure i had the photobooth a while before i got university since it was one of the last packs i got my hands on. its featured in a few buildings that come with showtime i believe but alas i play in swedish so i cant state them but that karaoke bar is one of them
as a goth i adored create a style. hardly any of the clothing was goth unless it was editable.
I thought I'll never say this...but I miss thiefs😩
