Let's get our nostalgia glasses off shall we?

Night Life was the absolute worst pack in The Sims 3, I can't think of a single feature that was done well there.

First of all, in Night Life penthouses were literally just Tombs from World Adventure, I'm using literally literally here, if you ever tried to build your own you'll know that, that's why there was only one actual apartment per building, because it's really just a regular lot with a shell around it, there's no special system there for apartments, there were no neighbors, there was just an item, the mailbox, that generated random NPCs to come and go to give the ILLUSION that people lived inside of the shell, but the NPCs didn't even make sense or were consistent.

Vampires were extremely shallow and had to be revisited later in Supernatural. To make things worse, it wasn't toned properly and over time it made it so vampires became a plague over save games, Vampire overpopulation was a nightmare.

Fame was extremely shallow and had to be revisited later in Showtime, I have no idea why you said the system was better than Get Famous, I really don't, one of the most popular mods for The Sims 3 was one that disables the Fame system.

Clubs didn't work, simply didn't, they stayed open for too little, were ALWAYS empty, and then there was elevators, dear god those freaking elevators with animations that took ages and for some reason always got stuck, by the time the elevator actually worked and your Sims got up there the club was already closing, if you were lucky and it wasn't closed already.

Feedback for Night Life was almost universally negative, trust me, it was worse than Eco Living except people only got disappointed after release because it was a theme that was done before, The Sims 3 had amazing packs, I have no idea why you chose the one pack that everybody disables in the DLC selector as an example.

*claps*

Fame in TS3 is AWFUL. At least there's an "opt-out" feature in TS4. In TS3, I'm constantly having to cheat certain sims' fame levels to 0, over and over and over again. It's beyond frustrating.

Hi. There's a toggle in the options menu. I actually just turned it on this week because I'm playing a director, but for the last 2 years I didn't need a celebrity so it's been off in all my games. No celebrities at all. Ever. Anywhere.

It's located with the options for supernaturals. I don't like to play with the celebrities unless it is necessary for the game I'm playing.


Edit: I don't know about Bridgeport, maybe they show as celebrities there even if you opt out of the celebrity system. I was playing my director in Hidden Springs and don't really play Bridgeport.

Sims 3 still my choice over Sims 4 but one of the things I disliked was the attraction to fame and it just irritated me but I still enjoyed Sims 3. EA/Maxis put in an feature that there was no real way to shut it off normally and the same can be said about Sims 4 to be fair.
