Yep I set up my game late last night and played quite a bit today. I have more fun with sims 3 than I ever did with sims 4 base game. I've stayed true to my word and not bought a single sims 4 expansion or stuff pack or any kind of pack for that game. Because as they came out I was seeing them have less content than even a sims 3 expansion or stuff pack. It's ridiculous..

I still say sims 2 is the best game, in terms of features in gameplay. But sims 3 has open world of create-a-style. It has insane amounts of customization, and you can even custom make lots in just about any size there is. Sims 4 relies on EA creating pre-made worlds with pre-determined plots and sizes. Which is lame.

I actually made the mistake of buying sims 4 early on. I wasn't keeping up with it, so I had no idea how...lacking it would be when I first got it. At the time only the base game was out, and I opened it and found the worlds so small. Then I found out there is no open world, no toddlers (at the time) and I promptly shut it off and went back to sims 3. I refused to play it until they had toddlers and proper expansions at least. That was the first sad experience. But playing sims 3 back now, I am really loving it. I even tried to play sims 4 again, and I realize that there is so much missing from that game that I can get in sims 3. I honestly think my favorite thing about sims 4 is the bright colorful looking sims/world, the sims are pretty too, and I enjoy mods from the community. But for me, I'm just more sold on its predecessor at this point. And I haven't played sims 2 in a long time, but I remember really enjoying it. I had considered redownloading it, because they had some of the best gameplay.
