Sims 4 seasons vs. Sims 3 seasons
What were the differences? Which pack did you believe was better?
Forum Discussion
Both are good packs but I prefer the sims 3 because the sims 3 has more weather elements (fog and hail), there is a lot more detail I feel in the seasons like rain dripping off the roof, hitting the puddles and the ground and all surfaces not just some, icicles on the roof.
I love that each season is customisable. If I want 3 days of summer, 16 days of summer and 7 days of fall I can have it. It’s my game and my stories and being able to customise it how I want is important to me.
Sims 4 seasons looks good though, I love the thunderstorms in particular.
With game play I think the sims 3 added more, spring had love day with the love tester machine, the kissing booth, egg hunting. Summer gave us tanning and sun burn, sprinklers, the soccer net, face painting, tanning booth, water balloon fights, skating and the eating contests. With the Fall fest we got a lot of the above but we got a haunted house, trick or treating, pumpkin carving, apple bobbing. We also got the raking leaves.The winter fest gave us the snowboard half pipe, ice skating, snow angels, snowmen and building igloos. Not to mention the sims 3 also came with allergies and the ability to treat it with a shot.
I like that seasons really impact our sims. Doing a homeless challenge and it’s autumn or winter is brutal, the sim will be soaked, they will be miserable and it’s a challenge. Likewise in winter they risk freezing to death or bursting into flames come summer if exposed to the elements for too long.
Now of course sims 4 has given us some of the above and I’m very glad we got the items we got. I prefer the sims 3 in terms of game play in terms of quality. I think the sims 4 water balloon fights look really awkward and unnatural for example. I like the holiday system too but I think i prefer the festivals as they lasted for longer and it meant all my sims could get to the festival at one point. I also love the festivals as it’s a great way to meet other sims and hang out and do things they don’t often have on their lot. For example few of my sims have a skating rink or ice cream machine on their lot.
With the sims 4 if my sims go to a festival or holiday it uses a day vacation so I’m mindful of that.
I feel that sims 3 seasons all the seasons got equal treatment by way of activities and seasonal events. With the sims 4 the main focus I think was Winter and the festive holiday there and I really like it don’t get me wrong, but I think spring and summer feel a bit bare by comparison.
