my older cousins (five of them) all owned sims 3. When our family traveled to see them, (they are very far away) (back in 2012) all five of them would show me their sims 3 games and how basically most of the summer they would play and alternate playing. They wouldn't let me play and they've been playing since sims 2 came out. Now I've come to visit them this summer and they are all rambling about the sims 4. They don't touch the sims 4 games and still play sims 3. I was old enough to play so I bought Sims 4 last season and it's not as interesting as the sims 3. Disappointed.
