Your favorite Sims 3 Streamers on YouTube

My faves are Aurora, acottonsock,Wisteria(idt she streams, not sure), and Cj Plays!

Oops, wrong subforum. Sorry!

I meant to put the thread in the Sims 3 general forum but I put it in the Sims 3 Store forum by mistake. Maybe a moderator can move this thread to the right forum.

I added Devon Bumpkin to my Sims 4 playlist. Thanks!

I have found a couple Sim 3 streamers on my own. There must be more, though, that I don't know about.

Thank you TexanSky! Those look like informative tutorials!

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.

-I cannot speak for TS4 because I haven't had a single second of personal interaction with it. However, TS3 is totally playable offline, especially if you have an all-disc version of it (pre-2012). When it comes to the digital version, I expect it to remain at the disinterest of EA. But at some point in time, TS3 is going to cease to be playable on newer machines with advanced hardware/software. Anyone who is a long-term TS3 player will eventually have to accept this fact and begin 'future proofing' their machines now for when that time arrives.

...

-TS3 is not without its problems. It does have its own set of unsolved game issues; some are due to the way the game was built while others originate from EA's neglect of the game and their consumer's concerns. Since the game is 14 years in age, most of these issues are known and have work-around, mod solutions or can be avoided altogether. Others are just what they are. Knowing this fact takes a lot of stress off of the player.

I have been thinking of setting up something 'future proof' as you call it. I purchased my Sims 3 game through STEAM and transferred my codes to EA. I guess I would need to rebuy the disk version. If I could save my digital purchases to some sort of USB stick to reinstall it as necessary, I would be more apt to set up the dedicated hardware necessary for long-time offline gameplay.

I don't have NonRevSims listed in my bookmarks. I think we might have missed this streamer in our previous lists. Watch me find the link in my own previous posts, if I look harder than I just looked. LOL.

Edit: I think I found another new one.

A sims youtuber that I haven't seen mentioned before is Luckygurlb. She hasn't been active for a while, but she has several story based let's plays worth giving a watch.

I'd personally recommend her Colony 13 series.

Of course there's the already mentioned Not Malcom, Rekowcski, and Sims Lore.

This looks SOOO good!

I started another thread devoted to old videos from streamers that are no longer making new content for the Sims 3.

Does anyone else have favorite oldies but goodies?

SatchOnSims started a Sims 3 playlist last year and his last update was two weeks ago.

I think we somehow missed this streamer, too.

Her Royal Household is inspirational.

She does some great Family Mods videos, showcasing them
