I do prefer Sims 3

I agree, I cannot do without open world! And it's also Create-a-Style I can't do without for me.

Yea if you value the open world feel and beautiful scenery, not to forget finding collectibles like rocks or going fishing in a realistic open world, Sims 4 is a huge setback... I'm not going to play it. I could live with a cartoony Sims version but no open world, missing life stages etc. isn't ever going to make me play it.
The open world was exactly what made Sims 3 so revolutionary, now what the...?

Same. I enjoy CAS, but the gameplay itself is lacking for me. Though the new gender options have me interested again...

The Sims 3 is the greatest Sims game ever made! :smiley:

Well, at least we have newspapers anyway... ;)

I would agree, I prefer sims 3 . I liked it enough to buy all the expansions, stuff packs and about 2.5gigabytes of store content.

For sims 4 I have only the base game, enough said.

I'm going to leave it installed I'll have a play every now and again. Same with sims 2

My favourite installment was TS3. And for so many reasons. I do play it from time to time, but I'm trying to transition fully into TS4. For me, personally, it HAS become better with recent updates. I hope more will be expanded upon.

Just curious.... I have only ever played Sims 3... so what do you mean by "open world"? How is the Sims 4 NOT an Open World? I mean, I read that there was a loading screen between lots, but... can someone explain me? :lol:

For example, if you wish to visit a neighbour, you cannot simply walk there and ring the doorbell. You are forced into a loading screen, and another one, to return home.

I agree that TS4 has improved since launch, but it still has way too many deficiencies which I highly doubt will ever be addressed. I guess time will tell. But I can't see ever switching over to it full-time any time soon, if ever. I can play it now and then but it quickly becomes pretty boring. TS3 is still the much better game, IMO. As is TS2, for that matter.

I prefer the Sims 3 as well, for many reasons: the open world, color wheel, the teens and toddlers, make a world tool, cars, genetics and so on.

Me as a Sim4-Player can absolutely see ur points of open world, color wheel, Toddlers...
For me I don't mind the loading screens and enjoy the very well done design and the vivid interactions and hope for amazing future content as the 3-iteration already has.
