Sims 4 compared to Sims 3

i played the sims 3 and i loved it but it was not the most stable game...i had every pack installed. There was a lot about sims 3 that i did enjoy but i also enjoyed the community and spent a good amount of time in the forums ...it was challenging with how so many were having game play issues and how folks would look forward to what was new that was coming out and then be so upset because it created conflicts ...so i don't miss that ..with sims 4 it has been more stable game play...folks have long saves that they have enjoyed ...it is a tune up graphically as well ..overall i would say i am happier with the sims 4 version ...i don't think going online is going to work for the sims because the online population is nice but the terrible folks do exist and cause unsavory issues way too frequently...i have no idea where the future is going to go with the sims and i do wonder why sims 5 has not come up.
