Is The Sims 3 more popular than ever?
OK, we all know the game has had its ups and downs, sure it may not run well on everyone's PCs and you would need mods to survive but lets face it, it is only the most advanced Sims game out there and...

I did give Sims 4 a try, and it's fun. But it's missing so many things that won't be added back. I love CASt -- I think removing it was a huge mistake. Of course, with CASt, you don't need to buy nearly as many things from the Sims store (though I own the store). I'm not even a big builder so I thought I wouldn't miss it, but not being able to personalize, well, anything has turned out to be a deal breaker for me.
It's not that Sims 3 is perfect -- it's far from it. But it's far more fun.
And Sims 3 sims do have emotions -- they're just not highlighted in various colors. But the wishes that pop up for them generally are prompted from what is going on around them, even moreso than in the Sims 4, actually. For instance, when my writer sim is inspired in the sims 4, he can get "emotion based" wishes to plant something, paint something, discuss art, things of that nature. Whereas in the Sims 3, my writer sim will get wishes to write a masterpiece, write 40 novels, write a best seller, write 25 best sellers, etc. IOW, the wishes are based on what he actually does.
