Sims 4 compared to Sims 3
What are some noticeable difference that you’ve seen between sims 4 and sims 3?? I just recently redownloaded the sims 3 after I found out that the farming pack was a hoax because I needed and missed ...

There are things that I like about Sims 4, however Sims 3 was a big obsession for me back in the day, and although the Sims in 4 look better without requiring CC, I much prefer Sims 3 for how full and alive it was.
In Sims 3 my toddlers played in playpens, and taught themselves to walk in a walker. Babies had swings to calm them, and pregnancy just seemed better in general.
In Sims 3, I had fairy Sims, with beautiful wings and adorable fairy homes. Nothing cuter than my fairy throwing a fairy party ?. I also had real wonderful witches, they worked in potion shops toiling away at spells, they drove broomsticks from town to town they didn't just teleport, although that was also an option via phonebooths. Sims 4 sorcerers just can't compare.
In Sims 3 vacations were awesome. Taking my Sims on a honeymoon to Italy where they rode mopeds through a lovey country side, picked grapes, and made there own wine. They baked pizza and bread in a proper pizza oven too. Also, with the help of the Sims 3 store my Sims could ride a gondola too.
I could create almost anything I desired. Las Vegas? Yes. Theme Park? Yes. Water Park? Yes. Dark, Spooky, Supernatural world? Oh yes! If I wanted to build it I easy could in Sims 3. Sims 4? Not so much.
To be fair, Sims 3 had serious lag issues after IP, and eventually I filled Sims 3 too full. My game started to have major issues, and I stopped playing Sims 3, because I don't have the time to start over and figure out what broke. Someday, I will break down and buy a new computer and maybe give Sims 3 another try.
So for myself I rate 3 much higher than 4. Even with it's worts and issues, Sims 3 was amazing. I also rate Sims 2 much higher than 4. Like 3, Sims 2 is a full experience. Sims 4 has always felt half baked. I hoped Sims 4 would improve over time, but after EPs like IL and ECO I honestly don't hold out a whole lot of hope for Sims 4. I also don't believe that Sims 5 will improve things. I sincerely hope that the Sims team proves me wrong.
Perhaps, if the Sims 4 team could stop putting limitations on what they feel a pack should bring to the table, and started giving us the type of EP experience we got in Sims 3 & 2 without worrying about $$$, they might be amazed at how willing fans would be to purchase full priced packs. Heck, I read somewhere that Sims 4 is bringing in millions due to covid lockdowns, so how about they reinvest that money into making Sims 4 a fuller experience?
Just a thought.
