Wow - The TS3 Community is still alive and well! Hi guys!

Hey everyone!

Wowowow! This message board was my go-to social media for so many years of my childhood! I'm so happy to be back :)

Finally, after all these years I have a PC that can run TS3 flawlessly.

What has everyone been doing in their games recently and any tips for a 'new' (returning) player?

    Hello and welcome back to TS3... :)

    Yes, we are still a very active community even though some of us also have TS4 installed on our PC's but we all eventually return to TS3 as there is more fun things to do in the game. I have TS4 base game only as I haven't brought any of the packs as they still cost way too much money plus the fact that I still have fun with TS3. Even though I have been playing TS3 since 2011, I still haven't even scratched the surface of the game meaning that I haven't play with every single trait, jobs/careers, adventures and such... :)

    I don't know if you have seen the "What happened in your Sims 3 game today?" over here in The Sims 3 General Discussions section but here is the link for it. It's been active since 2015 and we are now up to page 4184... :)

    Thank you! I’ll check out the thread now. It’ll take some time to go through that many pages hehe.

    Yess. I think everyone reverts to TS3 as the gameplay is so immersive and detailed. So much to discover!! I’m so glad I downloaded it again.

    The sims 4 is great - but I can garantee you as a Ts3 player you will prefer TS3 even if you had all TS4 packs. I just love building which is why I use TS4 quite a bit!

    What is your favourite career in TS3?


    You're welcome... :)

    Yes, you're right about the details and the immersive of the game and all. With TS3, we have horses that we can ride, we can be werewolves, fairies, genies as well as ghosts whereas TS4 just have vampires and witches (I could be missing other stuff from 4 since I don't have any of the packs, so if I'm anything else, please feel free to let me know). But even if a player has all of the packs from TS4, they still miss a lot of what TS3 has to offer

    I have some of my Sims doing the ghosthunting career. I have created the Mystery Gang for my gameplay and so I have Freddie in the ghosthunting career. I have also created a Frankenstein family which consist of Frankie and Lily Frankenstein and they both have the evil trait. Frankie is a doctor while Lily is the ghosthunter. I allow her to keep some of the ghost boxes that she collects while she either donates the rest of them to the science building or releases the rest in the graveyard. When she keeps some of the boxes, the ghosts will come out and explore the house and haunt objects around the house.

  • Hello! I started with the first Sims in the 90s...I have now Sims 3 and I love it! I was wondering besides getting the seasons expansion pack, is there any other way to make Rain/lightening and thunder? TIA
