Sims 3 EXPERT tries Sims 4 for the first time since launch 😀

my sims 4 stan era 😩🤚 twitter.com/acottonsock

[@ds549]

I started playing the sims 3 after watching ur sims 3 ultimate fix video and I wanna thank u for that bc for once I don’t need 10 gameplay mods to enjoy a sims game lol

[@acottonsock]

yessss 💅

[@otakusushi7533]

Madi! Your ultimate fix video also saved my Sims 3 😁 THANK YOU!! I've been playing sims since sims 1 and sims 3 was my favorite but kept crashing 😩 your detailed fix video was awesome 👌 👏 👍

[@lost_pantheon]

It always makes me laugh to see those Fisher Price Jpeg "worlds" with 12 lots that they release with each TS4 expansion pack. Like TS4 players be like "Oh yeah, Henford-on-Bagley is awesome. I loooooove having one 64x64 lot to work with."

[@sopigmentedchile]

As a Sims 4 player I do not feel insulted cuz Sims 2 (which IS my favourite) poppedt off 🧡

[@sophiedi.2413]

I do have to say I enjoy playing Sims 4 - with fourteen mods... But Sims 3 is so much better, I do play with mods, however I wouldn't need them to have fun, it's just to add on for extra fun with the game

[@LonelyLoo281]

i just have the nraas mods

[@onlyfrog]

for ts3 i just have story progression, save cleaner, traveler, lighting mods, etc. gameplay-wise, i just use some mods that change minor things like no small pets bites, children can do more adult hobbies, a few more careers... the difference between my never-ending ts4 mods folder containing 50+ mods trying to fix the gameplay and make the game fun is INSANE.

[@LauraBeeDannon]

I have no Sims 3 mods, just generations and supernatural, and some free cc objects n hair n such. I play for hours and keep finding out new things I hadn't figured out 10 yrs ago.

[@sophiedi.2413]

@LauraBeeDannon same. I'm a Sims 3 expert, you could ask me literally anything and I can help solve almost any problem. However, sometimes I still experience new stuff somehow (after 11 years)

[@lilacsweets637]

This was honestly so relaxing to watch, i prefer sims 3 i haven't gotten rid of sims 4 just bc of all the cute cc 😩💫

Yep, me too. I prefer sims 3 but sims 4 cc though.... It's so cute! 🥺

[@brainiergeckogaming1625]

When I graduated from high school, the first Sims came out. I've been obsessed ever since. Sims 4 really had the potential to take sims 2 and sims 3 and create magic. And they did, but it was more of a card trick instead of Harry Potter hexes

[@bookswmadi]

Everytime you went to say "The Sims 4" my wifi buffered... I told it "I know TS4 is cursed, but I'm trying to watch a stream with the hope of tea🍵"

[@Tony-lq1zp]

I have never had such a relatelabe experience in one single video

[@Z3t487]

Anyways, about the empty world, 100% agree with you and to be less of a joke to pay for an empty world, at least make it very very big: 30+ lots.

[@Sarana174]

For me sims 4 is the peak of of cc and mods

[@stephenriggs8177]

It's got some nice building tools, and it's cool that hats and hair finally work together. Other than that. ...

[@iusethisplatform]

I'll go back to TS4 sometimes... but I'll get bored so quick x_X I really only like it for the build mode/CAS, though Create A Style is *annoying* to live without. The CC and mod dynamic is odd for TS4 coming from TS3 just because you have to constantly update mods and get rid of some CC with new updates since they always break. That alone drives me crazy as a CC addict lol. The biggest deal-breaker for me is no open-world (among other things) EA is just an awful company and Maxis has become *completely* absorbed by them. I'm glad I didn't buy any more of their over-priced packs. It was funny watching this stream though 😹

[@doutorbolado7887]

LOVED YOUR REACTIONS THIS WAS LITERALLY ME PLAYING SIMS 4 FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER YEARS OF THE REGULAR ONES LMFAO

[@remittri]

My theory is that with the success of the sims free mobile game they realized they could just make a PC version of a mobile game and charge $60 for it

[@jojosworld1396]

People on Reddit that LOVE the Sims 4 will literally drag you for not liking the game. It's extremely childish and ridiculous. If you tell them why you like the Sims 3 or even that you like the graphics of the Sims 3 they will ALWAYS have something negative to say. There is just no getting along with them. Then people wonder why there is so much drama in the Sims Community. None of this was an issue before the Sims 4. It's like the game has made people toxic. If you go on Reddit you better know your audience. 🤷‍♀️

[@Blooprint394]

I think it's not people becoming toxic but rather toxic people joining the community. I feel like most people who are die hard Sims 4 fans are younger and have not experienced any previous Sims titles. A lot of games in this era get simplified for the players' sake. This happens on a graphic level but also regarding gameplay systems. Sims is not the only victim of that. No front against younger people but I feel like most of them lack the maturity and appear therefore toxic and less chill. Or fans are heavily biased because it was their first Sims game. A person who has played any Sims game before Sims 4 would react much different. Edit: Reddit explains it pretty much. Most Reddit communities in general are toxic af and have zero tolerance for other valid opinions.

[@yara-nd5ky]

Don't you think its just fans of Sims 4 just feel tired having to constantly hear people whine and moan about a game they like. Yes shocking fact other people can like different things. You go into a sims 4 subreddit what exactly were you expecting lmaoo

[@KlearChristal]

@@yara-nd5ky Bad games do tend to have a lot of people point out that the games bad.

[@computerenthusiast779]

The same happened with Animal Crossing and the monetizing of characters, furniture, etc. It lost the neighborly, intimate appeal that earlier versions had.

[@haliee]

it's kinda like that's how the internet works..... you were probably in the sims 4 subreddit crying about how ugly the game is thinking you weren't gonna get attacked. reddit isn't for civil discussions, that's why it has a bad rep

[@Altan_12345]

And that’s why I have chosen to 🏴‍☠️ The Sims 4 on my NEW laptop 💅🏻

[@maxc.7770]

The worlds are all boring. They could've had something with the LA theme but Del Sol Valley is the most bland and ugly town. Lol, I'd trade this game for a candy wrapper.

Men i looked at how much money i spent and i fucking stopped buying anything and i just pirated Sims 4. It works the same just a little worse Duo to the amount of dlcs

[@MaxineAndrew]

When I tried out these mods last year, the parents got moodlets saying they were disappointed their minor was doing drugs xD

[@duskaf.5078]

I also was playing sims 4 when I was 14-15 and I think I played it until I was 17 and then I got so mad at expansions prices. The only thing that kept me playing for two/three years were mods and cc. Amount of great cc creators for Sims 4 is insane

Im a sims 2 girly so every time I try and hop into the sims 4 I immediately get bored, this game could’ve been so good sigh

[@wznderl4nd]

Honestly I enjoy all the sims games 2 through 4, they are all fun in there own aspect. I basically grew up on sims 2 and 3 and I only got the sims 4 like one or two years ago. I have 2-4 and enjoy playing them all

[@ariadne538]

I know this stream is kinda old by now but I just came to watch it and girl, I can't with the Sims 4 💀 It straight up looks and feels like a mobile game and not like a worthy descendant to Sims 3. It looks heartless, the "worlds" (more like PNGs) and the general overlay look like an alpha version of game development. And don't get me started on that tune that ALWAYS plays as soon as you move lots, after the whole loading screen. This is supposed to be a life simulation??? Come on, I'm genuinely in shock right now as I've never seen the Sims 4 besides Call Me Kevin's videos where he fs sh*t up. Also I just think it's so funny how they had actual Simmers build lots cause they couldn't be arsed or just fd up, like I remember (because I play it all the time) EA's builds in Sims 3. Yes, they were kind of dumb as well, but also fleshed out, detailed, you could see that at least some heart or effort went into them, but now they rely on simmers?? Who they almost don't pay at all??? Come on man

[@oceanegougeon3025]

Oh yeah that tune that plays EVERY TIME we load a lot, it's SO annoying !! I grew so tired of it, I felt so blessed when I found a mod that removed it... Fortunately I uninstalled that shit completely and went back to the Sims 2 lol

[@ReneHollyDesigns]

Granite Falls also has a hidden world for you to find where a hermit lives.

[@ogrejd]

@31:30 - Meh. I don't see what all the fuss is about Kits. $5 for 21-26 items is so much better than the $10-15 for the same size sets in The Sims 3 Store. (I uninstalled TS4 this morning. I was getting the "Maybe buying more will make it good" feeling with only the base game + Seasons (bought as a bundle) and Tiny Living Stuff (couldn't resist the lure of murphy beds and the associated death :P). The previous games never gave me that feeling. It also wasn't helping that, even with full Social, my Loner sim would actively seek out other sims to talk with whenever he was out of the house. :/)

[@Isaac2024]

There is no fuss for kits lollll. The only ones the community likes are the ones that they collaborate with with KZbinrs and CC creators for. And it’s only like… 3

[@LonelyLoo281]

all i gotta say sims 4 without mods is quite boring

[@Sarana174]

This is late but I think there is a drug mod in sims 3, there’s this cigarette one and there’s this drug lord one that I haven’t seen anyone tested it yet

[@Nothing-ln3pp]

The get famous world is sooo sad. It has just a few lots and then they decided to put some drawing of buildings to make the world look full 😂 when i saw it for the first time i also didnt saw the real lots, i was looking at the fake buildings

[@bell_nicole]

I'm a sims 4 player cause the sims 3 barely runs on my laptop, especially with cc(n i need that in the sims 3 cause it looks kinda shit). And i genuienly enjoy ts4 and can play it for hours and hours on end, but i still absolutely agree with most ur points and ts4 deservesssss to be dragged lmao love ur video

[@green3e6ra]

I never play sims 4 more than 30 minutes for gameplay. It just bores me. I like building in it and creating sims but I never play it. Even with mods it just doesn’t compare to sims 3. I need my open world.

Right. Like if you’re gonna have the Landgraabs why not have the Altos. 😭

[@howtotryll4867]

my sim actually did become a teen mother to Malcoms baby

[@toshj177]

They should had add two extra worlds for expansions because that be 36 lots in total and no one will be mad. I'm so glad I am not buying this game at all. I save my money over the years. Even MMOs have massive worlds with many buildings. Then expansions add more areas to the world. Picture Wow literally only add worlds the side of sims 4 worlds. There be outrage! Also, I just realized something from ur unfair pay rant. Video games companies probably end games due to that. So they don't ever have to pay the people who on that game again. Since they stop selling the game. I know with TV shows you keep getting a paycheque if the show you were in keeps being air on a channel. Also, it's getting so frustrating I don't hate the gurus at all. But what the hell exactly they getting paid for? I know someone made a video pointing out grant while at work was on twitter policing sims 4 conversations on twitter same with sim guru Lindsay. That went on for a while until it stop. What exactly are they doing? Because the updates are meh. DLC lacks content still too!

[@erised6674]

You could potentially even continue your TS3 Lepacy into TS4, since you haven't experienced any of the DLCs in this one. A TS4 Lepacy would be so neat.

[@togoxo]

the fact that you didnt even buy the dlcs for this video and went 🏴‍☠ like everybody that plays the sims 4 does. honestly pirating this game is tooo easy and the thrash quailty of packs just makes it feel like EA wants you to pirate the game

>14/15 playing the sims 4 i am dust

[@mywifeisdead4826]

Honestly, the fact that the sims 4 literally went backwards in the franchise hurts. Not only are we getting singular expansions to things in the past which had heaps more they removed the world system, the color wheel, playable pets, the majority of occult aren't playable still, etc etc. It lacks so much but it also does things so well at the same time. I love that they expanded upon the present occults, I like the graphics, I like the expanded emotions (Even though sims 3 had that already with the mood tab), etc If we got a sims game with all features of the sims 3, expanded stuff from sims 4, and the absolute insanity and death that the sims 2 had I would be at peace.

[@LauraBeeDannon]

I rather have Sims 3 CAS. So much free cc online.

[@meltedprincess]

I love both games. Sims 4 does need more work but I'll defend it til I die.👌Everything I own from the base games to dlcs, I paid for while there were sales lol. EA can suck it for either game tbh. It's also Mc command, mc cheats, maintain sim, set age. That bed is literally assigned to Geoffrey and Nancy. You scrolled over it more than once, you better get an appointment, you're farsighted lol.

[@Z3t487]

Expansions cost 40$ at full price, not 60, ffs.

[@Z3t487]

You never played the Sims 4 before, except when it launched and you didn't like the base game, but you return after years buying all DLCs at once? Ok then... i guess that's the requirement if you want to stream.
