What The Sims 3 Does Better- Carl's Guide

He's not wrong. Everything he pointed out are things I still love and reasons why I do go back to TS3. I did have to learn to play TS4 differently to be able to enjoy it.

The Sims 3 is my ace in the hole. I don't have time for 2 games and since I'm having fun with 4 I'll wait to play 3 again when 5 doesn't make an entrance or bombs.

TS3 was great! I think that was were the game reached its peak but has now landed with a bang lol. I just need to save a bit more money and I can play TS3 again!

If Sims 3 was given a complete makeover in 64bit, with all modern uses of screen sizes, video cards catered for it could be a great hit again as it had very good ideas, too great to work with 4G memory.

Flynn Arrowstarr... says in a forum though ...."Sims 3 is a 32-bit program. At best it can access 3.5 GB memory, but there are some limits to that. When you run a 32-bit program on 64-bit Windows, the system allocates up to 4 GB memory to an "emulator" called WoW64 (Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit)."...............

This video isn’t wrong.

Everyone in the TS3 forum already knew all this! <3

I'm aware. ? Which is why I posted in Sim Franchise. So everyone gets to see how awesome TS3 is!

@Placebo7 I believe you can get it on Origin and Steam.

The Sims 3 is not a bad game despite its crashes - it take a lot of patience to get it up and running smoothly and that's what throws those who don't have that kind of patience a major loop. Frankly the constant crashes from Error 12 and the lack of optimization in the game coding is what p***** people off and so they go off and play a game where they can get "instant gratification" while slagging the hell out of Sims 3.

And that's what p***** off people who take the time and are persistent enough to stick with the game until it runs smoothly; hearing people with little patience slagging the game.

And that folks is why you get the Sims 3 vs. Sims 4 war.

I can relate to this, as much as I loved TS3 much more than Ts4 I can't point out its flaws without someone gets triggered by my post.

As for the video, I watched it few hours ago and it made me hop into the game and played it for almost 4 hours nonstop.

I prefer 4. I love Carl's videos though I usually disagree with him haha! THanks for posting this:) I look forward to watching!

(And no war intended here, I Have ZERO issue with others preferring different games than me haha, I just have a less popular play style that 4 suits more.)
