I do prefer Sims 3
I've given it a go but Sims 4 doesn't quite cut it for me - for me it's the open world that seals it. I might play it occasionally but for me it's sims 3

Honestly, I do miss being able to fully customize the colors and patterns of things, and open world is nice. Sims 3 is what I was introduced to Sims with, so it will always hold a special place in my heart, and I still play it depending on what kind of game I feel like doing at a given time.
On the other hand, Sims 3 loading the game or a town takes forever, and the open world eventually bogs down my games to the point that even doing a Legacy Challenge I have to save the sims out and drop them into a fresh world every few gens - or else things go so slow it's ridiculous. 4 may mean loading when traveling, but there's a part of me that will take that since the game thus far runs so much nicer. Plus CAS is a huge deal for me. Even with the cartoony features, I like the CAS way more than the sliders of sims 3.
