Watching this after ten years and I have to say I still love this game. The open world was great, the create a style feature was awesome, the RPG elements in this game were good addition.
Compare this with Sims 4, which not only removed the open world and create a style, but also upped the RPG elements to a quests-of-a-sort especially on things like dates, or parties or the Seasons EP holidays, where you are clearly told what you have to do to be successful and the game doesn't even feel like a sandbox strategy simulation of life anymore.
They also added for a silliness in Sims 4. Don't get me wrong, The Sims games always had their share of silliness and most of the time, I liked that. But in Sims 4, they overdid it and the game is way too silly for my liking.
And don't get me start with toddlers that aren't even toddlers anymore.
Overall, Sims 3 was and still is the best of The Sims series in my opinion. Sims 2 had its good features too, some of which I miss to these days (like the most realistic toddlers, or the penguins in Seasons EP) and I still like to play it from time to time. Sims 1 was first and as such, there's a nostalgic feeling to it and nothing before to compete with. It surely set the path for next generations and we always should be tankful for that. However, The Sims 4 was the first big disappointment to the series for me to the point where I decided not to support it anymore and that's sad for me a devoted Sims player since 2000.

I played The Sims 4 with a few of the best expansion and game packs installed, and even though I like the game I was getting bored with it. So I scrambled up the money to get The Sims 3 Starter Pack (includes the base game, High-End Loft Stuff, and Late Night) off of Origin and also The Sims 3 Generations. Although there were parts about The Sims 3 that I didn't like (longer loading screens, not that great graphics, not a lot of hairstyles or clothing to choose from, etc) it was definitely better overall (has the color wheel/create a style, has more traits and aspirations to choose from, a great soundtrack. But the best part is the gameplay. It felt so alive. Without me even making the Sims do anything, two of the girls were having a pillow fight, some of the guys were telling jokes to each other, a couple was cuddling on their bed, just stuff like that. It is such a great game

Folks, do you remember that time when nannies was kidnapping your and Grim Reaper's babies? That time when in about 2 generations half of yours population would die out and the other one would move out of town? And you are playing in this unsettling, creepy ghost town? Oh my what a good memories, especially when you have only one sim in your active family and he's depressed because he's all alone. Do you remember the old cellphone with this little screen and actual buttons? DO YOU REMEMBER TS3 WITHOUT 3HRS LOADINF SCREENS AND FREEZES?

After logging over 1500 hrs in TS4, and having played both TS1 and TS2 since I was 11 y/o, I'm FINALLY getting around to playing TS3 and. my god. What a gem. I can't believe I totally skipped over it. Compared to TS4's complete lack of soul, this is such a breath of fresh air. Admittedly, TS4 has superior building mechanics. But as far as live mode is concerned? TS3 really takes the cake. I vote for a resurgence of this game to show EA where they can stick it.

Installed this bad boy again. So much fun. No game like it. Amazing how all of the NPCs have the same needs as you. Also cool how they're not just essentially props (like in most games. They actually go home and sleep. I love hanging out at the gym/wellness center, and seeing the other AI actually interact with everything that you use (fridge, chairs, swimming pool, workout machines, etc. Too bad that The Sims 4 wasn't open world.

People really think the Sims 4 -sucks? - The Sims 4 was supposed to be a game to introduce people into the franchise.
It also focused more on the actual Sims and lots. They didn-t have enough technology to make a world like Sims 3.
The Sims 4 was my first Sims game. I know i-m not a hardcore fan, but the game wasn-t made for people who have been here since the Sims 1. It was made for people new to the franchise.

I always end up coming back to TS3. I try to get into my TS4 games, and I have a blast in CAS and building the houses (though the lack of customization just kills me. but then as soon as I start playing the actual game I lose interest so fast its ridiculous. It just seems so. lackluster compared to TS3.
If they ever combined the Sims 3 with the Sims 4 graphics and CAS/building. that would be a perfect game.

I remember I played TS3 more than eight generations. I made my sims live in an open lot space, make it outdoor themed. Got everything colored pattern from couches to beds to even cars. And because it was open lot, I collected the graveyards of their ancestors. That was when I even only had the base game without any expansions. So much to do even with base only.

Man why couldn-t sims 4 just be sims 3 with the new cas, build mode and graphics. sims 4 just sucks, I feel no emotions at all to my sims 4 families at all. Sims 3 was so much more enjoyable, I could play that for an entire day into the night time. Sims 4 is an hour at a push
