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...

One thing not mentioned, is how limited build mode is in sims 4, not counting cast. It is a build mode made for beginners, not long time builders. It is lacking way too much. I don't really want to go into the specifics, I talked about it a whole lot in the sims 4 idea section. I made one home in sims 4, and with my modern style, it is way too limited on the type of home I can make.
Other than that, I don't have much to add. Sims 4 simply doesn't have the main things I like that I love in sims 3. I don't like the cartoony graphics of sims 4, for instance. And how I play in sims 3, I love huge neighborhoods and seeing all the sims I made grow up, you know, a few hundred of them, instead of fifty at best in sims 4. And I enjoy taking my sims around the neighborhood and going back and forth easily between my sims. Those things will never happen in sims 4.
I really hope that they will get it right for sims 5!! I get the idea that the open world is intensive on computers, but in five years hopefully computers can handle open worlds really well, and ea will make sims 5 open world. I would love a bigger neighborhood than is in sims 3 even! Sims just need to not stall as much as they do in sims 3, and that would cut down on the time it takes to go places.
The size of the world as such would be fine by me. It would be great if we could travel between them.
Yeah, I certainly wouldn't be unhappy with the 'large' neighborhood size that is in the sims 3. I just always hope for bigger and better, even when I know what I want isn't realistic. You can kind of switch between neighborhoods in sims 3, but they aren't full neighborhoods. You can with the traveler mod though. The loading time is too long for me to want to do it often, though. Loading time is key to making something like that work. It's too long to load between lots in sims 4, if you ask me. But we wouldn't have to switch neighborhoods often, unlike switching between lots.
