What aspect of your personal life do you want your Sims to experience?

@Justa_G00f If you can afford the Sims 3 and all of the packs, and your computer can handle them, then go for it!

The Sims 3 has a much more flexible and customizable Build Mode than The Sims 4. Almost everything can be redesigned and customized to your own personal taste! It can make the Sims 4 Build Mode feel like a little toy.

The Sims 3 Island Paradise is a tenfold better than The Sims 4 Island Living. You get the same amount of stuff, plus more. You also get a big world to play in called Isla Paradiso, and you can just zoom in and mess around.

The Sims 3 Late Night is also much better than The Sims 4 City Living. At the very least, it does feel like a city, and that you live in a penthouse. In The Sims 4, it feels like a regular house. Thanks to the open world.

The open world game engine is really a game changer. That, and Story Progression. You can read the newspaper and check out for gossips, and watch your neighborhood come alive.

While I feel Sims 3 is the better game, it's one I advise people to research before getting. It needs a powerful computer, but at the same time, the game files need changing in order to recognize the GPU and to treat the CPU as a powerful one. And there are a few mods that the game needs in order to run (either Awesome Mod or NRaas Overwatch at bare minimum to take care of the vehicle issues). I guess I'm saying it really doesn't work that well out of the box, but with some tweaking, it's amazing.

For Sims 4, I'd love for sims to have actual personalities as opposed to just being guided by their emotions.
