Could the Sims 3 section please get its own Creative Corner section again? I know there is a general one but that is both 4 and 3, add to that 4 has its own dedicated creative corner section as well as that one which is being shared.
It would be really nice if there was a place within the Sims 3 community forum area to share creative stuff, and to look through other users creations without having to pick through all of the Sims 4 threads. I don't know what thoughts went into the decision to break it up this way but it is kind of a hot mess.

I like to look through houses, but it's rare to see any threads in the common CC prefaced with a 3 or 4, and i end up clicking on a lot of threads and then being disappointed to see its a TS4 creation.

I've had the same problem Pary had - I wanted to search for Sims 3 builds but they were buried somewhere in a pile of Sims 4 builds.

That is a shame because people still want to download my builds sometimes and there is no place I can showcase them where they have some chance of finding them.
And I like to download worlds and other things made by the community. But I can't find them in Creative Corner now so I search the internet and get what I can find from other sites.

Those three categories go back to 2009. Are people posting Sims 4 stuff there? This is the Sims 4 Creative Corner, in the Sims 4 section of Categories:
http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/categories/the-sims-4-creative-corner
Maybe they could move those three topics down to the Sims 3 area?
Also, new Sims 3 players coming to the forum often think a Creative Corner for Sims 3 simply doesn't exist, because it's not marked as such, and because it's separated from the rest of the Sims 3 subforums.
@SimGuruDrake could you please create this subforum in the TS3 section? I know I am not the only one who would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.

Sims 4 is shiny and new and everybody is supposed to play as main game right now and to forgot ts2 and ts3 and ts0 ;'(. That's why the sims 4 has and the old game just a single board. Everybody moved here from the sims 2 official forum and the sims 3 one.
I hope she can help us, and offered us a creative board .We love this forum and every simmers is welcomed and legit here. No past sims community is dead.

@Jessa_Dakkar Maybe if you link to this discussion in the Sims 3 General discussion more people will support it. I only saw it because I came to this section to complain about not being able to navigate the forum effectively anymore.

I am proof of this, since I just came back to the forums recently after a long break. I never bought or got into the Sims 4, and looking through the categories, I thought the creative corner was for Sims 4 as well. It's easy to make that mistake since it's not marked sims 3. I agree, the simple wording change is needed.
As a reader and writer of Sim stories, however (only one small part of the full creative corner, I realize), I have found that the SimLit community at large has never been particular keen on "separation via game format" and it has always been more of a hassle than not that we have TWO Stories and Legacies sections rather than one (the Stories and Legacies "generic" section for everyone and then the Sims 4 Stories and Legacies section) as most of the threads/resources in them are often "for all writers of SimLit" and "open to all stories regardless of the game the story is written with" (yes, even a vast majority of the good resource threads for SimLit writers located in the Sims 4 Stories and Legacies section... which just means the Sims 2/Sims 3 authors are going to miss out on them!) When I was new to these boards, I was missing a ton of cool stuff in my first few months, sticking only to Stories and Legacies, because I didn't know there were a lot of cool things in the Sims 4 Stories and Legacies forum that were actually for all SimLit authors, even Sims 3 authors like myself! The SimLit community tends to be pretty cohesive and supportive no matter what game you are using to create your work, and while there are definitely some readers that have a strict game-preference in their reading, the majority of the ones I've run into are far more open about that and don't seem to care too much what game is used if the story engages them. There just seems to be a bit more of a "blend" than there tends to be in other areas of the forum.
I have a thread which indexes SimLit from any and all Sim games (Sims 2, Sims 3, Sims 4, there are even some Sims Freeplay and Sims Medieval on there!), the Stories and Legacies Index which I've run for over a year now, and completely eliminating a "shared" Creative Corner would make a thread like mine have no place at all to go. It would be far too much work and effort for me to break it up and have to maintain separate indexes in every separate section for specific games when I can maintain one cohesive index that clearly states what game is used for each story so people can still search it for game-specific content anyway. If "total separation" is the way things are going to go, after a year of dedicatedly running this thread, I'd probably have to shut it down, which would be a shame (this thread just doesn't belong in "Sims 2", "Sims 3" or "Sims 4"... which is why right now it's in the Creative Corner I consider "for everyone"). So if "separation" over "cohesiveness" is really what the community at large wants, I hope there is at least one community shared section for all Sims games... at the very least for Stories and Legacies, if nothing else (like I said, I TOTALLY get the argument for Builds/CC!)
Have a Sim story site? Please submit your link to the Stories and Legacies Index!
