Sims 3 isn't stuck in the 2010s. It's stuck in the Victorian eras of the late 1800s. Every single house is trying to look Victorian, or slightly sooner like Colonial style. There is only ONE modern house in the Sims, and that's the Wolff couple in Sunset Valley. And even that is a reach because the furniture we have in Sims 3 is decades outdated. There is no way to make a modern home without CC. There's just not any furniture or designs in the game that allow for it. And I've heard people give the excuse "Well Sims 3 is actually the first game, so..." No. The lore has never mattered in the Sims games. It's there, but EA has never designed their actual visuals off it, so why would they start with Sims 3? And only to drop every single lore in the next game, Sims 4? By lore, Sims 4 would be sooner than 3, which means probably more like a Sims Medieval at this time. So why only make 3 the only "lore" related game? It makes no sense.
lol what?
You know you can literally... make your own houses? Or download new houses?
Most houses were built many decades or even centuries ago, hence the style. I'm from England not America but the house I live in was built in the 14th century. Had a lot of work done & extensions since then obviously :D
And since the Sims (originally) is based in an idyllic small town, and not a modern made urban dystopia then the housing style just makes sense.
But yeah, literally just build your own house.
As for furniture, that's what stuff packs are for. Plenty of modern furniture in my game, even got a super high def TV that covers my entire wall., a tablet, gaming PC, VR goggles, modern cabinets, beds, sofas etc. Heck if you have ITF you have futuristic furniture! Then ofc there's CC, also create a style, you can take a dated looking rug and make it look brand new with simply a splash of colour or pattern without any CC.
