Reason for Playing Sims 3

Hello everyone and blessed day!

I am here out of sheer curiosity. Since the latest debacle with the Sims 4, I had chosen to go back and dust off my Sims 3 games and learned of the various mods to help me resurrect this game, making it playable/compatible with the latest graphics cards, etc.

Now, I am curious to learn as to your reason of choosing Sims 3. How many of you have chosen the Sims 3 for any of the following various reasons: 

  • Sims 4 had too many bugs and you decided to switch to Sims 3
  • Sims 4 is unplayable as it either crashed, won't start up, or won't recognize DLC Packs purchased when installing lots from the gallery/library in your game so you switched to Sims 3
  • Research on the Sims 4 was found to have too many problems and so you decided to stick with the Sims 3 and not purchase the Sims 4
  • Research on the Sims 4 was found to have too many problems and since you never purchased the Sims 3, you decided it was wiser to invest in Sims 3 instead

If any of you had chosen Sims 3 for any one or more of these reason, please feel free to share your choices here and please select the like feature of this post so I can get an idea/count as to how many have chosen the Sims 3 for these following reasons.

Thank you all for your honest feedback and participation.

  • I was a LATE joiner - Feb. 5, 2013! 

    The Sims 3 was my very first Sims game EVER! 

     

    What it was that made me start Simming - 

    I'd been watching my younger sister play Sims 1 and Sims 2 for years - looked like fun! Only thing is she had Console version of the games. I have a PC version of the Sims 3 game (and later on 4)... STILL FUN! 

    Funny, I didn't realize that I got Sims 3 BEFORE she did 😂! 

  • None of the above.

    • I've owned Sims 3 since 2010 and never left.  I've spent some time in Sims 4 but have never loved it the way I do 3, so why switch?


    For the record though, 4 runs fine for me.  I can break it if I want to, but it doesn't break on its own.
