I'm giving The Sims 3 a try
I've recently answered a thread here about being a restarter (someone that just starts over and over and can't keep a game going). That made me think a lot. I was always a generational/legacy player. ...

Why am I not surprised this TS4 originated thread ended up in here. ~sigh~
I started playing Sims 3 in Jan of 2017. Have had absolutely no problems whatsoever except the occasional Error 12s when the game decides to shut down because the 4GB MEMORY has been reached and the game just can’t handle any more input.
Haven’t played Sims 4. Only interested in it for what I can do in CAS and in Build Mode. I do my narrative playing in Sims 3.
I agree that it’s been crummily optimized, but this game requires mods and patience to run. And I'm not the most patient person in the world. Trust me, @Featherbelle, my wife, will tell you I’m downright cantankerous. But I still installed NRAAS Debug Enabler, Error Trap and that cut down on the error related shutdowns considerably (for those of you who are complaining about shutdowns).
Just so you know I’m the type that takes a baseball bat to my computer when it annoys me too much so “no excuses”. Get NRAAS and try it again if error-related shutdowns is your only complaint.

Along with NRAAS MASTER CONTROLLER; they’re the only mods you need to get a smooth running game with a modern system. Sure you’ll get Error 12 out of memory errors but that’s EA’s fault. You ain’t impatient till you’ve done a Louisville Slugger deactivation to your computer you haven’t reached my level of impatience.
PS: yes it was an aluminum Louisville Slugger.

Yes; it was satisfying. Thar was in 1997, I’ve got a better handle on it now...oh wait my laptop back in 2013 got the phonebook rip and tossed out the window...so maybe not. Since then my electronics have worked till they’ve given up the ghost permanently. No more blue screens of death. My electronics work until they die.
