I just came back to the sims 3 about a week ago. I have tried and tried to have fun with sims 4, and while I prefer some things about it, I found myself not playing as much as being on here or doing other things with the game running in the background. I left three because of the loading time issues, but I forgot how fun the game play is. I am loving the personality of the townies. They are a real hoot at times.
There are ways to reduce load times. If you search the internet on Sims 3 load times you will find lots of recommendations on how to do that.
There are two mods I use. The one that made a huge difference for me when starting a new game is this mod:
NoVenuePlacement.package
http://modthesims.info/d/424222/24-10-amb-community-lots-auto-placement-fix-add-other-lots-compatible-with-patch-1-63-1-67.html
It stops the game from adding all of the venues that came with expansion packs at the start of a new game.
There is another mod I use that cuts out most of the intro loading screens and music. But I can't remember what it's called and I can't find it in my mods folder, although I know it is in there somewhere as all I see is the loading screen for Into the Future each time I start up the game.
