I do prefer Sims 3

Both sims 3 and sims 4 have their pros and cons. I love the open world of the sims 3, and I’ll give a shoutout to sims 3 newborn babies for being less annoying than sims 4 babies, but you can just do so much more with your sims in the sims 4 with the exception of babies. However, with that said, it’s much easier to take care of sims in the sims 3.

Give me TS4 CAS over TS3 CAS any day of the week. With CAS in TS4 there is a lot more you can do. You can pick the race, body shape, and a lot more.

For me personally, it’s easier and better to build houses on TS3 than TS4. With TS3, you can pick any design you want, unlike TS4 when you’re stuck with the given options.

I’m personally not a fan of the cartoonish hair of TS4, but you can easily download custom content and

there are less glitches than TS3.

I´ve been playing a bit more Sims 4 in the last week, tried the 7-toddler-challenge (because, why not?), and found myself cheating their needs up like there´s no tomorrow, to keep the kiddos frome being taken away. The reason for that is not, that it´s so hard to raise a toddler in Sims 4 (it is harder than in Sims 3, but not exceptionally so),

but the game is so buggy at the moment, it´s not even funny. My toddlers are glitched, the nanny is glitched, nobody does what they are told, dropping tasks left and right. The last two updates really screwed up my game. Last night I had to shut it down via taskmanager, because it just didn´t close. That´s really no fun. And even when it works, it´s just... gah. There are so many annoyances in the normal gameplay, that I end up totally stressed out.

The toddlers are cute. Granted.

I think, I´ll try the challenge in Sims 3, at least there my sims do what I want them to, and don´t need up to five sim hours to eat some fricking toast. And the toddlers are also cute.

I see this discrepancy a lot and now that I catch it in one topic in two posts following each other even, I feel like adressing it. I’ve not played Sims 4 enough to encounter glitches or bugs myself, I sure have in TS3, so I know in that game it’s an annoying given. But while for Sims 3 friend and enemy seem to agree the game is buggy, for Sims 4 I see two completely opposite statements: at least it’s not a bug fest like TS3 vs it’s got so many bugs that I can’t play anymore (a stage Sims 3 never reached for me, I’ve always been able to solve the bugs and then continue without issues). So.... what is it..? I really find that confusing.

The bugs in ts4 seem to be more consistent but less game crushing (ie townies outfits going all wack) While ts3 bugs seem less frequent but worse (in one of mine it was causing crashes of the game ) Some people are bothered more by different types of bugs so they would disagree about which one of the game is glitchier.

ts3 ones also, in my experience, tend to be due more to having a computer that can not keep up. Like not having people show up to community lots, inactive pets and poor graphics are all bugs that are greatly reduced/eliminated by having a strong computer.

ts4 is killing me bug wise due to the sheer amount of them. One bug in ts4 is more tolerable than one bug in three but ts4 bugs kill my games by quantity and consistency. I also haven't herd yet about there being a difference depending on the computer the simmer is using.

Part of it could also be the whole ts4 vs ts3 thing that some people have leading them to deny or over exaggerate certain things, which would lead to less consensus on the topic.

I just got my sims 3 game working again and I am so happy right now. I missed ts3 and have been craving a good simming session that ts4 just couldn't do for me. I am especially loving the freedom of colors when building and creating sims.
