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.

For my sim to be able to look in the mirror and say:

"Oh Gee, look at that gorgeous manly chest. And wowee, did you see those armpits? And would ya look at those arms and legs! Those are well covered!"

Covered with what Captain Simself ?

"With fff eckkin' BODYHAIR!"

I wish! But sadly, with how tame TS4 is, we'd only get chesthair for the guys, and I'll still have to use bodyhair from Luumia.

Extreme weather, natural & man(Sim-?)made disasters!

I miss the meteorites and big earthquakes from TS3 (and being able to play a firefighter Sim)!

Although I'd also enjoy varying heights based on genetics and environment, opening and closing the window for fresh air and temperature control, and (but optional, for handy sims) the ability to install electrical wires, plugs and sockets, water heaters, septic tanks

I'd love it if npcs didn't interrupt dates constantly.

THIS. I don't mind seeing lots of NPCs around. But my Sims have had their romantic moments crashed by townies more times than I can count. Taking a date out to a cafe is a recipe for disaster. The lounges aren't much better, because invariably there's an NPC there with an insatiable urge to play third wheel.

The spare is almost always in a Flirty mood, too...

You've made me realise I've a weird love for the open windows in the game. I could not tell you what it is.
Maybe it's the freedom of airflow.
Maybe it's the fact that it's like a hole in the wall, but with a clear border.
Maybe I just wish they could open any window whatsoever.

Now I know my second wish after fixing the game: Window-opening.

Couple dancing in any genre: hiphop, contemporary, bachata, ballroom etc. I wouldn't mind Ts2's couple dance too.

Height sliders would be neat, though I guess it'd make life harder for people making custom content. Or the programmers who have to rework how every interaction between sims happens because they need to figure out how to make faces line up for a kiss.

Definitely don't need more extreme weather. Even now the changes I'd make aren't to make weather more extreme, but to make it more bearable. Make the reaction to thunderstorms be an uncomfortable moodlet instead of the default being everyone terrified of the sky water. Assign warmth ratings to clothing so that rather than having to change into whatever is determined to be a "hot weather" or "cold weather" outfit, sims will heat up or cool down based on what they're wearing--right now I can have a sim who just sleeps in his boxers, but if he wakes up and it's too hot, he'll start to overheat until I change him into his hot weather outfit, which means he puts on pants and a shirt and somehow cools down as a result.

The thing I'd really like, though, is nonreciprocal relationships and an attraction system.

I’d like to see health conditions added to the game, with some Sims needing to use wheelchairs, walking sticks or for example becoming blind so they cannot read but instead prefer to listen to the radio. Maybe it’s too sensitive a subject for a light hearted, comedic game but I think it would add more depth and diversity.

I looked up the recommended age for this game and it's 13 years old but, you KNOW there are younger players than that. If kids are going to learn things from a game, like woo-hoo and alternative lifestyles, then they need to be exposed to ALL the types of people that might be considered "different" than what society considers to be "normal". Those quoted words are strictly a matter of some people's perspective, not mine, as I certainly fall into the "different" category.

If this game wants to be a TRUE life simulator then, it needs to stop being like prime-time television and include ALL aspects of life. Otherwise, technically, they're discriminating and creating a false reality of society for future generations. Put it all in or take it all out!
(Maybe I should have posted this in the Unpopular Opinions thread)

I'd like some negativity in my gameplay please <3
