Do you still have hope that the core issues with this game will be fixed or do you think this will never happen i’m talking about lack of personalities consequences and better working emotionsPlease comment why you chose what you did

I can't see them doing an overhaul of the emotions system when they can't fix smaller issues like persistent bugs. I want to be hopeful, but the track record for the series at this point in terms of fixes gives me no reason to be.

i do not think anything needs to be fix the game is perfect as it is

New traits are being added all the time with various new packs which should have added impact on the emotions being shown but it all seems a bit "loose" at the moment. It looks like the basic emotional aspects from the base game are lagging behind and need to be worked on to catch up. It's as if they are unfinished, waiting for future developments.There are some really nice emotional interactions in Cats and Dogs which affect mood for example. I'm finding it getting better after all packs added and the game has more depth than I thought. It's rather like we'll probably get more "death" emotional reactions if they supply us with a cemetary and mausoleum in the future but they should have been there from the beginning.

I don't think they'll fix the core gameplay its been 5 years. I hope I'm wrong but I feel if they were going to bring us unique and smarter sims they would have done it by now.

I’ve been wanting freed babies forever, for example. Still haven’t gotten any updated babies, so I doubt most other core stuff would be updated.

My answer isn’t in there so I voted the second best. My answer would be: no because they don’t care. And they don’t care because enough people don’t care.

I don't have faith in the team to do this. It's unfortunate. They seem to be updating various other features like the color swatches, terrain manip and some careers, but they don't seem to know how to fix the sims, even though I've seen some very good suggestions on these forums.

If anything, we may see a toned down Happy emotion, since they've acknowledged that. But that doesn't really help the problem.

How is the sims 3 broken? I was gonna go back and play it because I dont think they will release the packs I want with Sims 4 @Noree_Doree

edit: nevermind after having a look at the sims 3 screenshot thread, I just cannot commit to playing that game the graphics are bad and i dislike the sims.

I mean broken as in the bugs and routing issues they left behind as well as other issues like memory bloat, etc. As far as the look that's based on each players perspective and likeness. I personally love the look as I still play. However, I use Nraas mods to fix the routing issues and use that version of Sp because EAs is terrible IMO. If EA truly cared about the sims 3 players and the game they would have fixed the issues, updated it to 64-bit, and not try to throw it under the bus to flaunt the new game that should have been a spin-off. Funny how karma works though. Look how their beloved sims 4 is turning out. ?

There are so many issues that I can't even pinpoint the ones that bother me the most but if I had to try I'd say the sims are so bland and their parenting + personalities need work. Restaurant and vet owners need to be able to give their staff breaks as well. It's so far in though and they know there's enough people addicted to the game that I think they're just going to give us a few more decently done packs to satisfy the demand while they put more effort into the Sims 5

I still have a little hope but I'm no longer putting up with the game in the meantime.

You might want to look into lighting mods. I'm thrilled with a no-bloom mod and the Sims can look fine most of the time, depending.

Can’t do anything about personal taste, for me opening that topic is enough to shout I WANNA PLAY! (can’t at the moment, I’m not home), but as for the game being broken thing: some things are (sending parents on vacation, the underwater caves still are a pain for me, werewolves need a NRaas mod to be fully customizable), but other than that it’s perfectly playable.
