I wonder whether Sims 3 or Sims 4 will be less buggy to play when Sims 5 and future updates of Windows are rolled out. Can sims 3 work totally offline? Can Sims 4 work totally offline?

Sometimes older technology is more stable long-term than newer technology. I am not sure which game to invest more time learning.

Sims 4 videos seem to be more about buying new things that get dribbled out, and overcoming the patch bugs that plague us every time we get a dribble. Sims 4's problems provides content providers with easy ideas to throw up a video about each new crisis.

Sims 3 content providers must be a lot more creative. And they have the opportunity to be more creative because they are not constantly repairing their games.

It will be interesting if Sims 3 content is more plentiful than Sims 4 content in a few years. I wonder if Sims 3 will remain a niche game for the long-term. Kind of like installing Linux on old Thinkpads. There is no shortage of videos about old Thinkpads. They are more numerous than the videos about new Thinkpads.

If you have the Base Game that was released before September 2012 and all of the disks for the rest of the expansions and stuff packs, then you can install it from disk and not install the manager when asked if you want to install it. Then you can play without having Origin on your computer. Or not have your Sims 3 linked to Origin. I think initially, with later versions of the base game, you could set up your game to play off line through Origin. Now the App has replaced Origin I have no idea if you can play off line or not. My game is pre September 2012 and I play off line without Origin or the App. My patch level is 1.67.
