@@kcznsk The only thing I like about it is the building. I wish ts2/3 had the ability to have doors/windows shiftable and a few other things. Only use ts4 for building, the gameplay is really boring.

[@okenki]

I can forgive the sims 3 for "going back" and having less physics than the sims 2 because it was rendering and handling a fully open, fully customizable city and so much content and options. But the sims 4... with how much they reduced the game and how much they're cutting corners with almost everything, I don't know.

[@solouno2280]

ironically, if you watch this close up, you can see that sims 3 enhaced furniture physics (except sofas, they are rigid now) by making the sims to sink more into the furniture than they did in sims 2

[@okenki]

@@solouno2280 yes i love the sims 3 they did a really great job! i suck at english so i don't understand the use of ironically but i assume you didn't mean bad! i didn't meant they 'want back" as "they did nothing" or "took away everything" but they had to have a different approach that might seem like "going back" from some details from the sims 2. sorry for the confusion i didn't felt like explaining everything in the first comment because it would have been too long and englihs is hard! haha, have a nice day!

[@ambannedfrombeinghuman2263]

Honestly? I can 100% see why they'd sacrifice some details just to make sure that TS3 runs (and just runs cause the smoothly part comes from mods). TS3 doesn't get enough appreciation for how big and content driven it is.

[@Xxsorafan]

But there’s no excuse for 4.

[@mauroc1896]

I read a comment about how sims 2 was detail focused, while sims 3 sacrificed details to focus more on the bigger picture. An example would be how in the sims 2 there's an animation for getting inside cars and the car driving off, sims 3 does not have them, but you can drive the car through the open world. I still appreciate sims 3 because you can tell the details were sacrificed instead of not being done out of laziness/cheapness like in the sims 4

[@olecal2213]

They could've definitely done it in 3 too, they probably cut it out because of time constraints.

[@ambannedfrombeinghuman2263]

@@olecal2213 Ang optimization issues. Seriously these tiny details make up a lot of CPU usage. The fact that the game is open world AND all the sims do stuff at the same time instead of one active household at a time? Is TS3 was already laggy, imagine if they added all of those tiny details too. No one would be able to play the game unless their set up is a super computer lmao.

[@TheMya1988]

I love the details of TS2, and while I do agree TS3 had to sacrifice for the aspect of an open world, sadly it also scrapped the personality system, chemistry (attraction system), the relationship system, the memory system, and so much more. Don't get me wrong, I do still have fun with TS3, and absolutely am amazed that I can explore nearly every nook and cranny, but it was never optimized properly, ergo one has to have a high end computer with a high end graphics card to run. Not many people realize that TS2 was the first to introduce semi-open worlds in Apartment Life (modders have expanded upon that to entire hoods), without loading screens. I think if TS3 had instead expanded upon the semi-open worlds of TS2, it might have been more optimized (plus working on 64 bit, instead of the 32 bit).

[@NoircatMask]

Something I find odd is that TS2 has these ripple animations for water and such, and yet I get 0 lag from swimming pools, yet in TS4 whenever I build a pool on the lot the game slows down significantly. The performance dip is big enough that I stopped putting down pools at all. I am very curious why on earth that happens

[@Sitycims]

Yeah, I'm actually surprised how smooth pools & swimming is in TS2!

[@RayznGames]

From a game developers perspective, it my have to do with the shader used to display the water in ts4, in ts2 surface shaders were not as complex as they can be now, and usually consisted in one single difuse texture / color + roughness to make the looks of stuff, now however we are using different textures to make up the extra data for normals lightning, reflection, refraction, color,, water murkiness, etc Nowadays water if transparent may use a cameras Z depth texture to emulate depth based effects like refraction and murkiness, , wich is very expensive indeed.

[@togoxo]

@@RayznGames but it doesnt really matter no one actually cares that much to make games that run more stable smoother. Better art style, actually testing, fixing bugs in packs and the game before release will help.. they dont even care enough the to fix the bugs everyone is complaining about. I wish they had worked on and built a better game during the life span of the sims 4. the sims 3 open world, the sims 2 animations, gameplay etc. and the sims 4 graphics + create a sim + buildbuy along with some overhead with the optimisation and speed for modding and for the billions of dlc's that they eventually will release

[@mihailoveselinovic7151]

@@RayznGames actually sims 2 and sims 4 pools differ only in normal map addition to sims 4 water surface. Might be that but i doubt it. Even a pc from 2010 should be able to run a shader like that. Maybe it's the planar reflections but again, sims 2 pools do those too. Most likely just bad coding on EAs part as it usually is.

[@augustinesim1672]

I miss the jumping on the bed option, or on the sofa Sims 2 just keeps proving it's the perfect mix between realism and goofiness So sad we'll never have such a masterpiece again

[@BS0003]

I just started playing the Sims 3 and I am telling you that you don't know what you're talking about if you prefer the Sims 4. Ts3 has enough mods to make it playable and then you'll see just how good it is. I felt OVERWHELMED because there's so much. The Sims 4 could never 😂

[@gyppygirl2021]

The Sims 3 is my favorite! There are some small things that put me off about The Sims 2 (not being able to play it among them), so I stick with The Sims 3. :p

[@Atsuhiko8888]

I just love how there's so much content in Sims 3 that you could still find new things to do even after years, meanwhile with Sims 4 you could find everything to do in like a week. Something I also love about Sims 3 is that every DLC comes with lots of hidden features and secrets that aren't shown in wikis and trailers while with Sims 4, everything you see in the trailer is what you get.

So much love and attention was put into every detail of the Sims 2, that's why it almost always wins in these types of videos!

[@izzymorgen62468]

I don’t really notice stuff like this during actual gameplay, but I do think it can serve as a microcosm for how much love and attention was put into the details of each game.

[@slademodz1276]

It's crazy how Sims on the Wii also has more Physics then sims 4

[@Atsuhiko8888]

I understand why Sims 3 didn't have some of these physics because of the Open world and how it was built on a much bigger scale than Sims 2, however Sims 4 has absolutely no excuse because they literally removed the most performance heavy parts and yet it still has the least details out of the 3.

[@cladoxylopsida568]

I'm a 3D artist and these aren't physics simulations, it's just hand animated and the hair is a dynamic rig with some mathematical inertia for the bone movement. A true example of a physics simulation you might be able to find in particle effects.

[@Sitycims]

Particle effects? Teach me please! 😅 I mean, wouldn't basic objects adjustements to sims bodies and water & hair movements be considered "physics"? 😮

[@aeoligarlic4024]

Semantics, i think CitySims just used the innacurate terms. But i'm sure you both agree on the same thing 😂

[@mihailoveselinovic7151]

To add onto the previous comment tho, even what we consider cape/clothes/hair physics in modern games however is also done in the same method that sims 2 does hair physics, but with more bones and more computations for directions and clipping.

[@xFyrn]

Yeah, none of the games has actual physics, which would be a proper simulation of object A interacting with object B (example: Sim pressing down on couch). Instead the meshes were animated to accommodate the deformation. I mean 😅 Look at the Sim2 lady lean on the couch. The sofa gives way in a spot her weight isn't even bearing down on, while her elbow does, but it doesn't affect anything. They just used the same mesh deform animation as if she was sitting in that spot. One could argue that dynamic bones (Sims2 hair) could be called bone physics, too. As for the pool situation. 🤔 Maybe that's a simulation in Sims2. I'm not sure. But Sims3 and 4 have nothing. The splashing (Sim jumping in, floater or balls thrown in) looks like an animated texture to me. I don't even think those are particle effects/simulations. But to most people, all that is 3D-artist "mumbo-jumbo". What all these things are trying to achieve is simulating real world physics. One way or another. A mesh deform isn't a physics operation in the 3D-artist-world, but it can still simulate how a butt would interact with a couch nonetheless. So... to conclude... Sims2 put in a lot of effort to simulate real world physics (without actually using a physics system to do so). Sims3 omitted a lot of those interactions, but the bed one is more accurate/higher quality (I'm guessing simply due to higher polygon count of the meshes, which means a more accurate deform is possible). And then there is Sims4... Yeah... As I said... Some animated bubble and splash textures in the pool floating around. That's it. It's a "Downgrade" in effort. Yap, those are my two cents. (Sorry for any wonky English. I'm a bit rusty with writing stuff.)

[@YellowBriefs]

Of course not, it would have been incredibly taxing for the computers at the time, and even today. However the fact that they went into the trouble of adding all those little details within the animations just proves how much passion The Sims 2 development team put into it, and is the reason why it's still the best in my opinion.

[@tr4nsist0r92]

U can say what u want, Sims 2 is easily still the best. Love for game devs got lost - or to be more specise: sold by greedy shareholders

[@kalilak9701]

This explains SO much to me about why Sims 2 has always felt so much more like a "life" simulation than Sims 3 or 4. Sims 3 for sure had more varied and fleshed out game elements, but Sims 2 has always felt like the best game for building stories and lives and characters. (Especially since I can just add CC for the things it's missing like more varied body types, skins, different time periods, etc)

[@Katrinakrakish]

Sims 3 has a pretty good excuse not to be as detailed with its physics as s2, given that it's open world and adds a massive amount of game play. S4 is just embarrassing.

[@charlottebarham7722]

You got me to buy TS3! Haven't played TS4 since. I love that there's consequences for not completing (some) opportunities in time. My family just had twins O_o having one toddler was tricky so with only mom at home and dad going to bed immediately after work each day is going to be a t r e a t ;-;

[@The_I_of_the_Angel333]

I honestly understand why they didn't add some physics in TS3. The game already has lots of lags because of the open world

[@zerogrey3798]

I've been saying it since the sims 4 came out, Sims 2 is by far the better game. Every new version just gets cheaper and lazier. I think since Maxis was broken up is when the creativity died.

Personally, I'm willing to sacrifice a little visual detail in favor of immersive and engaging gameplay... The Sims 4 does not do that. :p

[@aeoligarlic4024]

The fans of sims 4 apparently aren't willing to do that either. They rather spend their day nagging at EA to fix their broken game

[@kirychan1226]

I think I finally understand that out of a family of simmers, why my parents adored Sims 2 so much. There was so much detail put into it, and honestly, it was very fun. I miss it dearly. My dad got me into Sims 3, and I got myself into Sims 4, but the lack of being able to mess with each other's households like on Sims 2 when you're playing the Sims 3 was my ONLY disappointment. Sims 4 is just... sure, I can interact with different households and play them on the same game save, but the game is not only empty with him gone, but with the lack of care put into it.

[@Dean_W1nchester.]

just me that thinks sims 2 has better graphics than 3? I just think it looks so much better the colours in 3 look strange to me and I cant figure out why

[@KewlKat626]

I understand why the water detail was reduced for both The Sims 3 and 4 because 3 had an ambitious open world and had to accommodate that and 4 was trying to optimize for lower spec PCs but I am sad with how lack luster that splash effect was in The Sims 4 :( The splash in The Sims 3 being so grand more than made up for the lack of movement in the water! I would actually love for you to compare the visual effects in the games some day! Like the splash from jumping in the pool or the fire in a fireplace! The styles of each game are so varied it'd be fun to see side by side!

[@keit99]

I get it with 3. But I don't understand why 4 can't have more water Detail. Esp. Given that it has the scale of TS2 (in terms or simulating things)

[@KewlKat626]

@@keit99 I agree they definitely could’ve had more detailed water, at least at this point! They updated water twice with Cottage living and Island Living but neither were really the overhaul they needed. I know a lot of people complained about The Sims 3 being poorly optimized (especially for Mac users) but they sort of over did it with The Sims 4 trying to optimize it. I mean, the game released without pools at all and people were really upset about it! I think they were probably rushed into the game last minute which is why they’re so lackluster.

[@Lexstra]

As someone who’s followed the franchise for a good while, who has all of the games nd bought most on release. The sims 4 will always be a huge let down for me. Sims 2-3 all the way, they’re the only games in the franchise (along with sims 1 sometimes) i can play for hours on end without getting bored. Small details in games matter to me, that’s why i love the sims 2… The game just feels so alive and real despite the graphics not being up to date. I love no loading screens and being able to see sims living their lives, and that’s why i love the sims 3. You can tell with every installation in the franchise the love just got sucked out of it. The attention to detail, the things you’re able to do. How alive the games used to feel compared to how empty they feel now? Atleast to me… The sims 4 is just janky. I kept buying the packs hoping it would get better but it never did. Can only imagine what the sims 5 will be like if it’s cross platform, they’ll probably sacrifice alot for it. I can only see it going downhill from here.

[@yellowcatmonkey]

we all watch this to bask in ts2 wholesome details for no reason🌻💖because most of us know all of these and keep them in our hearts😌💕 aesthetic masterpiece

[@xenay911]

The bed and sofa details on sims 2 are actually super impressive. Shame I always play way too zoomed out and never even knew about this. I’m curious now: do heavy sims press down the same or more as slim or fit sims? Because honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if sims 2 added even that bit more realism! Love your videos 🩵 I’m always learning something new haha

[@mattoatbrooklynz4247]

From a developer point of view, ts2 is easier to add details since it only work on each scene separately which is your lot, when making a game to run on much bigger size will be a lot harder to add any details let alone fixing bugs in a bigger scale like ts3 ts4. So difficultly of making ts2 is like 2/10 while ts3 ts4 are like 7+/10.

[@mushroom6394]

i agree, but technogies are way better right now 2024- 2020 when ts4 came out, i think they could manage ( + ts2 was made in 2000 something so it would be harder to the details in their days )

[@Adelaide_Cuthbert]

But 4 does only load in the lot? There are so many loading screens because of this. And I'm not sorry, difficulty aside, to get all the dlc in 4 is the same as a down payment on a car. They can take that money and do it, just quality of life updates every now and then, but they don't. Sims 4 is a scam and I feel bad for the people delusional enough to make excuses for it. Really picking the hill to die on.

[@thisisnotthechannelyourelo407]

These are not physics, they are just a part of the animations. So it's an animation comparison of sims interacting with objects you expect to have some reaction, like the depression of the couch when sitting on it, or the water creating waves when jumping in.

[@Xxsorafan]

Me personally I enjoy the rotational gameplay of sims 2, creating stories for all the sims and not just one household. Also the gameplay is just more spontaneous. Sims 3 is also enjoyable. Sims 4 it feels less of a life sim and more just like a dollhouse I have to be in charge of everything which works for some people but not for me

[@Sonchikas1]

That's not physics, that's just animation made to emulate physics.

[@jaletu8173]

Thank you! this was very interesting. Can you imagine how awesome Sims 4 would have been if they had taken Sims 2 physics and raised them just a little bit. And I didn't know you could throw a ball in the pool for dogs! Really sweet.

[@Corncan2]

The Sims 2 has the best details, hands down. The Sims 3 has the most creative freedom and scale. The Sims 4 is a cash-graab.

[@LunaRuna212]

mhhh idk, calling the couch/bed part "physics" would imply that the furniture would directly react to any impact individually. But I don't believe that there are elaborated collision physics implemented in any of the sims games. From what it looks like, in all sims games they just added animations for each furniture "with physics" and the correct animation plays if certain conditions are met (Sim interaction, sim age/size, if another sim is there etc.). Of course I have no idea if my observation is correct, since I don't know what the code/game engine is actually doing there. But since only SOME objects display animations like this only in certain situations, it seems pretty likely that these are just furniture animations without actual collision effects. Now with the pool I'm not sure if this was made without collision features, too, because it looks pretty convincing! However, a water reaction animation (+particle effects) would be possible, because if Sims jump into the pool they'll always land at the same spot, since everything in the sims works in a grid system, so it's easy to align the animations there. Regarding the Sims 2 hair, that's definitely physics in effect right there! I assume back then they added joints to each hair style to make it work. I wonder, does CC hair float like this too? I doubt that CC creators would always think of or know how to add this type of joints to their hair meshes.

[@brenb7153]

Wow thanks for the video it really shows how much work was put into the sims 2 v.s 3 and what we have now with 4. Maybe EA doesn’t think these thing matter, but I think little things like this make the game more immersive when it comes to feel like your living or controlling a life simulation.

[@m.n.2971]

I had never noticed the pool water didn't move in the sims 3. Probably because of the light effects making that illusion (which I suppose is a good idea when you have an open world). I still think sims 2 did it best, but expecially when compared with how pools in the sims 4 remind me of a PollyPocket pool for some reason, sims 3 also did a pretty good job with the water.

My perfect The Sims game would contains: details of animation, relationship system, genetic, memory system, personality affects behaviours, desires and fears from Ts2 (upgraded a bit ofc), gameplay content of ts3 (maybe some ideas of ts4 but defo not implementation), the world maps from ts4 but a little open worlds in "neighborhoods" so there won't be loading screen when going to buildingsnext to our sim (like in the sims 3), CAS from ts4 but with color wheel for each part like ts3, traits system from ts3. And design could be ts4 like because I kinda like it But it's EA it won't happen

I keep reading that Sims 2 was made with passion... Every sims game was made with passion otherwise it wouldn't even sell one copy. If you people don't realize sims 2, and 3 are not properly optimized to the day, and ever since I remember those games take various minutes to load just the main screen, where as of today sims 4 runs much faster in all aspects of the game, ironically faster than even sims 2. My take on this, is that everything they took from the sims 4 that was on previous games, was taken on account of optimization, and I actually can see how all those silly and small animations would take more memory o make the processor work harder. For me it's actually very surprising that a game from 10 yrs ago with all its expansions loads much slower than a game from today that has three times as much content, but its a fact, Sims 2 and 3 are not well optimized where as sims 4 it is, very well optimized to work even on a half baked gamer laptop like mine.

The deevolotion of physics goes even further and applies to all modren games. 2004 was very much that time when all games where getting physics. it was looked at as the next thing in gameing. then we went backwards and nothing outside of indie games has full physics anymore

The fact the physics for the pool floater is the most advanced physics in the Sims 4 is insane...
