Sims 3 is still better than Sims 4?

I love you
Sims3 always !!!
... Still, I'm gonna test Sims4 a bit later tonight but I feel my answer won't change

I plus to This!
But you do lose progress by saving Sims to the bin (I think the relationships reset too, as you cannot contact Sims from your original, home world) and the process itself isn't at all seamless. It takes too much time, when I think we should be able to just take our Sims anywhere without going through all of those steps, whether it's a closed world or open one.
My only point was that no, Sims 3 doesn't play like a prison. When you play one family (and I have since May 2010), you're not condemned to playing in the one world you chose when you started. My family started in Sunset Valley, then moved to Riverview, then Hidden Springs, then Sunlit Tides, then Monte Vista, then Isla Paradiso and now they live in Dragon Valley. I'm leaving out the little trips they did - like Lunar Lakes and Midnight Hollow - and also the adventures some of them had in the WA worlds and Oasis Landing. Some prison
Yeah, as @JoAnne65 stated, I use the Traveler Mod to keep all those things intact. IF like you say something is that important to you, and the game doesn't provide such services then you are able to use a VERY easy mod. So for me it goes like this (In game), use sim phone and click on "travel service", choose destination as well as who is coming (not all sims need to come along) and length of stay, GO! Then you get one long loading screen (or less long depending on the world and population) TADA!
And before anyone says "Well I shouldn't HAVE to use a mod to do XY." Perhaps not, BUT if you want to tailor your game in the way you want to play which is outside of the realm that the company wants you to play... then you head for mods. Just as I did with TS4 for a bevy of things, some that are completely un-fixable at this moment in time.
So IMO my issue with TS4 is that there are issues that do not have "easy fixes" for those that want to tailor the game. The game in itself is just not that customizable. That's not to say its a terrible game! I played it for a good solid while and then.. just drifted away for lack of customization and lack of Open World. I hope that they can fix the CAS to allow for more optimal customization of the sims (opacity, colour ramps for hair/skin/eyes), as well as better world customization (no backdrops, or choice of backdrops, no fake neighborhoods etc). However its my understanding at this point having even Open Neighborhood is wishful thinking. Sadly, this is pretty game-breaking to me. There are no mods out there for me, YET, to fix these issues. Where there is basically a mod for everything that I don't like about TS3. Maybe in the future... maybe.

Wrong - Sims 3 is better than Sims 4 which is outdated due to major features gone totally backwards.

Thanks!
HaHa totally agree!
The sims 3 is outdated yet it as more features than the sims 4!
None the sims 3 wins in this argument.
I use a lighting mod made by Buhudain.
And it isn’t constituted from fake backdrops.

The fake backdrops in TS4 made me pretty upset when I first play. I felt like I was being tricked.

The fact that TS1, 2 and 3 were released earlier doesn’t make them less fun to play, at least to me, I don’t think they’re outdated, even 1. Yes, they’re older, but actually much better than 4 with respect to most things, in my opinion.
