I've played the Sims since the Sims 2. Then went on to play Sims 3. I would spend countless hours per day enjoying the game because they were just that good. The Sims 4 is by far the weaker and the worst in the franchise. You could tell so much love, attention to detail and care was put into the previous games. The Sims 4 is just sorely lacking in gameplay and love/attention.
Sims 3 was horribly optimized though and requires a slew of mods to even run it, and apparently entire expansion packs that don't even work, even months after release. I'd argue that's a severe lack of attention to detail and care. I get what you're saying but every single iteration of this franchise has issues. Go back on this forum 8-9 years, ya'll were not kind at all to TS3 lol.
With all due respect, I have to ask where you heard this. I play 3 and 4 concurrently, and I've never modded 3 ever. I have no problems with running 3, and never really did. In particular I am wondering what EPs supposedly do not work, because all seemed fine when I last played.
Island Paradise was broken for some players including me. No matter what I did, it would not work on my gaming computer and I had to uninstall it. I never got to play with that EP. With every other EP installed and a ton of store content my game ran lag free, though. People loved to hate the Sims 3 when it was the latest version of the game, but we really can't deny its poor optimization.
Agreed on that one. I am sorry IP did not work for you. I was not trying to deny anyone's problems in particular, but I do think it is unfair to say Sims 3 doesn't work unmodded and (some) EP"s" never worked at all. That was my only contention, since, as stated, it works perfectly for me on my new laptop that has a graphics card the game doesn't recognize.
I am sorry for derailing the thread further.
