So today I stumbled upon a mysterious memory device
which holds few ts3 screenshots I didn't even know existed
and needless to say I used to play the game rather differently...
or at least the aesthetics have changed
So I thought hmm I can't be only one with weird screenshots from past
and it'd be fun to compare those to our current games
so yes share oldest sims screenshot(s) of any game you can find!
and a new screenshot(s) of choice for comparison

And my TS4 game, quite a visual difference.
turns out... architecture was really thriving for me in ts3
I mean look at these fabulous open concept living spaces I created
such nice look with all the glass and such
(oh dear and i just noticed i was logged in on messenger... dude.)
the landscaping is just so on point I can't even create such beauty anymore
and wow its all in one floor! achievement!
but obviously these houses wouldn't be perfect without fun sims living in them
like these 2 sporty anime villains
they really loved their 2 cute horses
and I couldn't forget the slightly emo couple with opposite color hairs,making out on gothy bed... such a classic
their house also.. was rather classic
I absolutely love the match of arm chairs and couch it just speaks to me on spiritual level
and yes they lived with another couple which you can see there as well,
because why have separate houses when yall can cohabit you know
but i don't really have screens of them cause obviously they were not as cool
there was very cool mysterious ghost lady though who is actually very cute
I assume she lived in maxis made house though cause there was no way i knew what columns were back then
now lets speed to present day which is somewhat less exciting I guess
they just didn't really work for me
and my landscaping is slightly less exciting
there is also more than one floor
but it could still very well house a nice emo couple I think
...well if we had those animations for bed anyway
(don't know where the dude keep spawning those rings from though will need to fix that)

I was doing something similar in Sims 4 recently, but apparently I need to put forth a bit more effort.
haha aww
I think its because ts3 we had all them cute little stage props that actually fit on the stage and didn't take 3 floors to add so screenshot looks bit more lively
*looks at get famous green screens grumpily*
really miss some of that showtime fun

I remember this sim was called Moon and I played with her from child to teen, this was October 30th 2013 and clearly I had a thing for galaxy print.
I would say my gameplay has changed over time, but this is a sim I made in October 2013 and a screenshot from 2 weeks ago.
and my generation family from the sims 4.
I never had a good system to support the graphics of TS3. I have the 64 bit and metal version downloaded on my mac, and I have popped in to play it on occasion recently, though the graphics are so poor that it just ends up depressing me. I did try to recreate of my favorite TS4 families for TS3 though, and it was a fun experiment, and the create a style feature definitely helped me capture things better than I thought I'd be able to.

I have always enjoyed taking photos of my Sims weddings, so here are a few of mine.

I remember my fisherman sim didn't catch this fish, but pulled it out if a toilet during a skill opportunity. And now he dreams of making it into a sandwich.
Two weeks or so ago Natasha fished an eel out of Desiderata Lake and Chloe cheered her (Sims 2):
Again 2009, again Sims 3:
I was so stoked about bicycles that I pictured Hans' first ride on one, not caring to catch a nice background.
And these I took earlier today in Sims 4: Gavin and his adopted toddlers.
Again, I was too excited to let the night pass ingame to catch them in better lighting.
Looking back my Sims 3 was mod free and I had only two mods for Sims 2 (Easy Bed and Shop at home clothing rack). In contrast the recent screenshots all have mods and/or cc, because my games are full of them now.
TS2
This...I miss this
I wish we had more interactions like this in TS4
TS3
My world
I freakin miss the heck out of this crib!
When my sim broke up with his university townie girlfriend and she was like...meh
Squatter sim
When I learned sims can dance on counters!
My favorite dog of all the series, MILO!
When spit hits the fan
The one and only mod I created for TS3 was a sparring mat
I made a bus stop and randomly saw someone sitting at it
I used to take this family to the arcade every sunday
TS4
Can't show my world, but here is my neighborhoods
I always loved how big the pile of dishes can get
The club system is my favorite thing in the whole game
I remember this bug...I had some jesus sims
Found a way for toddlers to eat at the table without a highchair
My tiny houses from before there was a tiny pack
When I found out sims can talk over fences I was like...waaaaaaaahhhh?
When my venues used to be crowded
Rejected by a townie
My lame summer camp where kids sat around all day talking
I love this
This just happened randomly, but she told him she was pregnant and then he started arguing with her
Going through these pics, the grim reaper makes so many more appearances in TS4
Not ready for this
Crowded venues, how I miss you!
Grim decided to play with my baby and the baby had the proper mood
One of my favorite features
You can pose more with some creativity. I made a tutorial a while ago. Let me see if I can find it.

FYI: I moved this thread to the Sims Franchise section.

This, is the very first Sims franchise picture I ever saw--a representation of my own house, made by my brother in Sims 1 basegame in 2000, and sent to me, slowly and laboriously, over AIM. XD Sim-Me is even in the picture (she's the one by the fridge).
And here's a little collage I made to celebrate my time with the series:
I used specifically a picture of a "family eating together" for each one, to sort of having a tying-together theme.
Sims 1--Sailor Pluto and Storm from the X-Men eat dinner at the table while Lara Croft eats standing up.
Sims 2--The Browns, aka my Apocalypse Challenge family, _mostly_ eat dinner together (with a lot of CC, lol).
Sims 3--Willow from "Don't Starve" and Wilson, as well as randos from her graveyard keeper job, celebrate her birthday in the rain.
Sims 4. Maria from "Princess Maker" (the first one) smustles on down while Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way has a snack.
All of these are also from my own gameplay; I take so many screenshots it'd be silly not to use my own. : P
There's also an earlier version:
From top to bottom: Daria and Helen Morgendorffer argue with the Goths while Billy and Anastasia from the newer "Battlestar Galactica" (which I USED to like...) have a discussion.
Second picture: Don Lothario's alien teenager, Don's wife Kaylynn Langerak, and their toddler daughter (the alien boy's little half-sister) who looks nothing like either of them.
Third picture: My first Sim I ever made in Sims 3, and since she was making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, the original screenshot is literally called "peanutbutterjellytime" in my screenshots folder. I have absolutely no shame. XD
I could go on for a while but since this is so long already, I'll just end it off with this:
My first-ever retail establishment of the franchise--a goth/magical-themed coffeehouse with accomodations for pets as well.
One thing for sure is that in the 10ish years he's almost never missed a photo opportunity, whether it's a fan or during the Starlight Accolades.
Edit: Oof I managed to dig further in my Sims pic spam folder and found earlier pics of him during university (TS2).
Crystal, Ruby, Raven, and Sable.
