Sul sul Simmers! It's awesim to see that so many of you are starting new and interesting discussions! But please make sure that you do so in the right forum section. Thank you! 🙂
TS3's gameplay features work for the most part unlike a lot of the gameplay in TS4 - that's why people still play it. When TS4 ends (yay!) the modding community will have to stand in and fix it (not like the TS4 devs have done much anyway to fix TS4…
I lost hope in TS5 when EA/Maxis keep trying to influence simmers to choose open neighborhoods over open world system that can do that as well. It's "easier" to for their devs and cheaper because not as much thought needed to put in it to coding it.…
The EPs are 50% off ($9.99), and the SPs only 25% off ($14.99 - why?!??). I remember when they were all 75% off at $4.99 each. Sometimes, Steam would even bundle the whole thing for even less! But anyway, I guess this is a little better than not hav…
Gameflow:
I prefer the gameflow of TS3 - both TS1 and TS2 had terrible time and needs disparities between sims in the same household if some of them go out of the lot while the others stay home. Also, you couldn't send out sims to different location…
I've basically already given up on TS5 for various reasons - mainly as you have described. Plus it really looks like EA/Maxis just want lazy open neighborhoods which to them seems easier and not as much work for them as a 100% open world with story …
Does anyone know if a dev from The Sims 3 will write about its development? I'd really be interested in that much more!
Also, I don't think this behind the scenes look at TS2 development gives any hint to TS4 development at all. TS2 was very organi…
Why? There's no lag with open worlds and as was already discussed, you can create both open worlds and open neighborhoods with an open world system since you can make the worlds any size you want. Plus you can place lots anywhere in the world, add a…
In TS3, you also have the ability to instantly teleport anywhere in the world - and still with no loading screens!

Yes, my external SSD connected to my computer through the computer's USB port!
I didn't have much on that SSD - the main content of it was TS3 so what you read is probably true!
She was quite mentally unstable and exhibited inappropriate behavior during work meetings and anger issues. I wouldn't want someone like that on my dev team either! There are plenty of other graphics artists who can do a better job obviously because…
A CD would have been a great idea! If you use Fire Fox or Microsoft's browser, you have the option of being able to download each page of items all at once. Yeah, I read of other people having major problems with their accounts if they change their …
So true. I used to play Sims Freeplay, the mission objectives were impossible to complete in the given time unless you didn't work at all. That's where they get you - if you work where you can't attend to your mobile games, you need to buy Life Poin…
When I had my old 2014 computer, I added an external SSD and moved my TS3 game to that. It works really well! So no need to buy a more expensive computer with larger SSD capacity - just buy a much cheaper external SSD!
Maybe "unlocked" means those packs aren't installed yet? I don't know - I've never had a problem with any of my games/DLCs on Origin. Also, once I purchase anything on the Sims 3 Store, I download and keep their sim3packs safe somewhere else as back…
I'm so happy!!! ✨😍✨
Use CC skins if you don't like the default ones! I use Navetsea skins myself which you can download at Mod the Sims. They give my sims a beautiful but quiet, understated look - not too cute or sexy!
Get a manual treadmill! They're better than electric treadmills because you have to work harder to use them. Plus they don't cost anywhere near as much as electric treadmills.
A lot of people can't buy TS2 anymore unfortunately because that would cut into TS4's sales since TS2 is a better closed world game. And TS3 gets cut down because if more people knew just how much better that game is, it would also cut into TS4's sa…
Will this come with a Create-A-Story tool where we can set up our own stories we can share for other people to play? Would come in really handy and helpful with creating our own challenges too. That would be great! Otherwise, it would be EA/Maxis ju…
You feel claustrophic in Sims 3 worlds? They're HUGE compared to TS4 tiny neighborhoods. I feel more claustrophobic and bored in TS4's tiny worlds because you can't even customize their environments.
Plus TS3 does have the ability to have your sims…
You can go to their Paralives website which has contact info where you can email them about what you would like. You can also ask for what you want at their Discord.
The shoe removal features in TS4's Snowy Escape EP is just the shoes magically disappearing in sparkles from the sims' feet. But in Paralives, there's actual animation for the removal of shoes! So lazy and cheap of EA/Maxis that they didn't even bot…
