I just went back to the Sims 3 for the first time in like forever. The first thing that hit me was that when I went to talk with another Sim there was a ton of interactions! I forgot what it was like to have options and have interactions with other Sims not feel like a chore! Sorry but man it just shocked me. I completely forgot how much more stuff there was in the Sims 3...

I can't even play Sims 3 because of that lol. Just makes me wish we had all the same now but in a better, updated form. Half of Sims 4 chat options is meaningless and having your sims converse does indeed seem like a chore. I just remembered how we could go to a public lot in 3 and just heckle people lol always made me laugh.

Yeah but there's a lot of animation recycling in TS3. I still love and play the game but you get to know the faces FAST.

I am chocked when I am back at ts2 because of the animations ahaha. You're right to share your feelings. I love ts3 so much but to me and you may be all yelled at me, there is lack of animations and of interactions. o:) please be nice ts3 is all my life.

I agree by the way, I regret so many social animations are the very same. On the other hand, I have a feeling communicating NPC's in Sims 3 show more variety than in Sims 4 in what they're doing (talking friendly, quarreling, flirting, kissing, showing a video on their mobile phone, giving flowers etc).

The Sims 3 is a real perpetuum mobile. What it needs is just a player :smile:

Man went back to Sims 3 and there are SO many interactions...

I play both Sims3 and Sims 4. I have a hard time now because I want the updated look of Sims 4 clothes and decor with all the activities and game play of Sims 3.

There are times that I use pose-player for a scene that requires a certain pose that is a pain to "wait to come up" for. And there are many poses to choose from. All it takes is a bit of maneuvering the characters around ("moveobjects") and putting them in the places. Of course that can't be done if you're doing videos and uploading that up to Youtube, but if you're taking stills and compiling a story-line, then pose-player does help for certain interactions.
