I haven't really seen many people constantly using the diving lot from The Sims 3 fourms. It is a surprise to me that majority of them are disappointed!
Actually because you may not seen many use it do not get it twisted as that was an option and to just wipe out that is disappointing.
Yes it's an option for The Sims 3.
But you can't really be surprised at this point as The Sims 3 doesn't have everything that The Sims 2 had. It is going to be the same for The Sims 4 - it's not going to have everything that The Sims 3 had. But these games do have some new features that the previous game never had!
Since you want to know of course Sims 3 was not going to include everything that Sims 2 had but what EA/Maxis did was expand on Sims 2 and not do what they did to Sims 4 and cut every feature to bare nothing. Now Sims 4 has few features that are worthy and that is left to the eye of the beholder so for me the features you are talking about for me are executed poorly if anything. In all the other games I played in an series it was an combination of old and new and some old features may not make the cut but all features from an old version was not cut like it was with Sims 3 and EA/Maxis will never get kudos for this game as they developed Sims 3 and didn't properly tweak it nor this version as well. Another thing seeing just bubbles where is the enjoyment in that?
I disagree with the "expand" part. If they really expand The Sims 3 from The Sims 2 judging from a 2009 base game to a 2004 base game. Where was exterminators? Where was gardeners? Where was aliens? Where was diving boards? Where was hot tubs? Where was the memory system? Where was the weed growing in the backyard? Where was special event camera?
Like I said previously, you should never be surprised at this point.
Edited: The features are not "poorly executed" if you don't compare them to a previous game. The create a sim? Three wall heights? Foundation heights? Genetics to create a parent or sibling? Brand new animations? Yeah... "poorly executed"
We can agree to disagree as you and I have different ideas on how an game in an series evolve. Sims 3 was not perfect and they still did not cut Sims 3 like they did Sims 4. No matter what you post about Sims 4, Sims 4 will always be the lesser program for me as Sims 3 may be for you. Actually some features can be compared and that is what I am basing IL on as it is my choice is it not? I can't tell you how to make your choices and what to base them on. What I will never be surprised about Sims 4 any more is the half baked features for me. However, enjoy your game for what it is worth to you and I will enjoy mine for what it is worth to me.
