Im cheating on my current sims on the TS4. I just started playing TS3 again and boy did i miss toddlers and puppies!

SimplyJen · August 2015

I've been playing strictly TS3 for months now.. When I did hop back to TS4 recently I ended up clearing out all of my saves. Not sure why.. Just felt like it.

I'm taking a bit of a break from The Sims 4 until Get Together is released... then I will buy Get To Work and a few game packs. Been living of the base game ever since. I've been playing The Sims 2 & 3 in the meanwhile and there are many aspects I miss from both. Hopefully, they fulfill my simming needs until I purchase Get To Work!

I had the opposite experience recently. I tried firing up an old Sims 3 save and it took so long to load up that I just didn't feel like messing with it any more.

I want to play my TS3 but once I started playing TS4, I just can not deal with TS3's lagging, freezing and crashing. My computer just can not handle TS3 like it does TS4. Maybe someday I can afford a gaming computer then I can enjoy TS3 again.

I'm wanting to get back into 3 soon

Yeah, that's logic for kindergarten kids. I have 11 gb custom content (many many many mods, I became a mod junkie a couple of months ago) and all EPs + SPs (alright, I don't own supernatural, never will be) and my game loads in exactly 2 minutes and 44 seconds (I can provide a video if you'd like to, in fact I own a high end machine and I have never been playing on a toaster like many guys here on this forum). You can load and surf in the internet, chat, watch TV, what ever. In The Sims 4 your netto waiting time is much (!) higher, you wait in the middle of a gaming session, it totally breaks immersion etc.

I am sorry, but this is not the 90's anymore. Not having an open world in 2015 for a sandbox game is lika building a car without an engine. But having to encounter a loading screen just to visit a neighbor is... I don't have even words for this.

Edit: My loading screens in The Sims 4 are 44~ seconds on average btw. And my save files are all pretty fresh because I don't play this 🐸🐸🐸🐸 game for too long. Can't stand it.

Edit: I want to add: When The Sims 4 came out I was taking a break from The Sims 3. I tried to go back 3 times, could never do it --> burn out. The fourth time it was no problem. Now I am abroad with my laptop ( which can only play the base game) and I am playing 4-8 hours every day, this game is just magical with it's open world and overall concept. Even today it's so much ahead of it's time while The Sims 4 is just..... outdated, It would be even in the 90's.

Yeah Sims 3 feels smoother than Sims 4. At least you feel like your in a neighbor. It feels like the town is a town. I know it weird but I just want it to feel like I am engaged and go do what I want.

I still build on Sims 4. I not playing the game.

HalloMolli · August 2015

Unfortunately to really enjoy The Sims 3 you need to have a gaming rig. since most of the people here don't have a good PC it's understandable that they prefer a browser game (The Sims 4) over a pc game (The Sims 3)

It's a sad fact, that The sims 3 was drawing all the teeth out of our computers, until we finally had got enough. for me it's never back to that troublesome game. I enjoy The Sims 4 so much partly because it's much better running.

Sim Shady · August 2015

Same here, I recently started playing TS2 again and, although I've only got the base game, I still really enjoy it. I definitely prefer CAS in TS4 because it's the best we've ever had, in my opinion, but I still love the feeling of nostalgia I get from TS2, plus the toddlers and the family trees and all the mystery with Bella and the Calientes and so on.

CMxCat · August 2015

I could never get into Sims 4, but the same thing happened with Sims 3 (I wouldnt leave Sims 2 until like, years after). I genuinley think that Sims 4 has gone backwards in the way that I love using the colour wheel in CAS and we dont have those options anymore! The only good feature is the dragging feature in CAS. Also, toddlers are like my favourite part of Sims, so thats a big no no for me!

Brieanna19 · August 2015

I forgot what it was like to play TS3, its so slow and the graphics arent nearly as good as TS4! i just enjoy the kids pets and weather.. seeing thunder storms over summer was pretty sweet! However, the load time though

You got 11gbs? I thought I was bad with 5.91gb haha I love my sims 3. I open sims 4 make a sim then I close it out. I just can't fathom the game play

This is exactly what happens to me. And I really want to get into TS4 the way I was into TS2 & TS3.

GoldenBuffy · August 2015

I don't have a gaming computer, just a Dell desktop, and before that I had a cyberpower pc. The pervious played SIms 3 from 2009 until the hard drive went up on me in 2013, never had a single lag problem, except after installing University. It was slow to a crawl when it snowed. I added 2 more gigs of memory rounding it out to to 4, and my game ran smoothly. Only lag issue I ever had was with Isla Paradiso, like many others due to the routing issues from EA. This pc I have now has 8 gig of memory or is it 12? I can't remember. lol And it runs Sims 3 wonderfully. It also runs GTA 5, with no lag unless the server I'm playing on is full.

I'm like others, I fire up Sims 4, play for maybe 5 minutes then I close it out. It's 2015, there is no excuse not to have an open world and having to suffer through load screens.

pr0x1ma · August 2015

Yeah. Not having toddlers was really hard for me. There's too much of a jump from baby to child, that I can't stand it. I haven't played TS4 since the month it was released. I've been switching between TS2 and TS3.

Brieanna19 · August 2015

I just cant get over how much it lags. If it wasnt so slow on my computer I'd play it more than TS3
