Guys, please, stop comparing Sims 3 to Sims 4. It's an argument that is eternal and never-ending. Nobody can win it. And I'm not saying that because I think I've lost either. It's just that I'm not going to convince you and you're not going to convince me.
Just wanna say, the primary reason we have packs in Sims 4, is because it's not Online play. If it was, they'd stick with the Store.
The only thing that matters here, is that EA has steadily escalated to a new high and low - not because it's Sims 4, but because it's a Triple-A publisher looking to get as much money as possible for as little effort as possible. And we need to focus because when it comes to DLC, it only ever gets worse.
Sims 3 wasn’t online. In fact Sims 4 has more internet required features than Sims 3. The only internet features in Sims 3 are shop mode, and simport. The former is very much still a thing in Sims 4, just less thrown in your face. Notice how worlds are displayed on the world menu even if you don’t install the packs? Same concept.
I also see nothing wrong with comparisons. I’m going to compare two seasons of the same TV show, even though they are different seasons usually with different plots they are all the same TV show/franchise. The same applies here with The Sims franchise. The only reason people don’t want to compare Sims 3 and 4 is because Sims 3 wins. Doesn’t matter how you personally feel about the game, Sims 3 had a much more successful life in the same amount of time Sims 4 has struggled to get anything.
I completely agree there about the Sims 3. I didn't like the Sims 3, but I still find it to be way better than the Sims 4. It stands out from a mile off, and I only played the Sims 3 base game with no DLC.
