Sims 3 vs. Sims 4?

I love TS3's open world as the worlds felt bigger and fuller. It was also cool because you didn't have load screens and could just jump around the world with your household all in different places. I also liked that TS3 brought some originality to the franchise with tons of things we'd never had in the previous two and still don't have in TS4. TS3 was, IMO, is game for all simmers. I used to play TS3 for hours and hours, because there was SO much to do in the game. The major drawback of TS3 for me is how cartoon-like the sims look, especially after playing TS4.

TS4, and this is just my opinion, is more for family-style gameplay with its very much closed worlds and limited lots. When I played TS3, I NEVER downloaded CC, that was the first time I played an entirely vanilla game and didn't feel like I was missing anything. TS4 is not that way for me, even though I play family-style most of the time. I found myself having to download things that came with previous Sims games and downloading mods to make the game more enjoyable for me to where I would actually sit and play it. TS4, without the modding community, is the most limited Sims game I've ever seen.


I also agree that this isn't going to end well.
