Sims 4 compared to Sims 3

As someone whose been around since Sims 1, I honestly feel like Sims 3's open world was a huge mistake, because it created limitations and made things absolutely chug, and now with that expectation still going strong, it's almost the only thing diehard Sims 3 fans talk about. But the reality is that if they kept that feature Sims 4 would probably run like absolute garbage on most machines.

I played Sims 3 on a PC that cost under $350, owned all EPs, many Stuff packs and the entire Sims 3 store with the exception of two worlds, and a ton of CC, and my game only started running slowly after IP. So a top of the line computer was not necessary, but it certainly helped in the long run.

Here's the thing, I play Sims 4 on that same computer, and just like Sims 3 the more I add to my game the worse Sims 4 runs. I don't even use much CC with Sims 4, so I would expect better performance from Sims 4.It will be interesting to see how many more packs it takes, before Sims 4 starts to lag just like Sims 3 did. I'm thinking it might not be too long.
