Ways the Sims 3 Build Mode is MUCH better than Sims 4 (sorry not sorry)

[@blameitondanny]

One thing that you didn't mention regarding the sims 3 bookcase. I love how the state of the bookcase depends on how much books is in the book case. You got Barely Filled -> Partially Filled -> Fully Filled bookcase.

[@H3ll0Jackie]

I forgot about that! Loved it

[@thesims3girlie]

yeah! and each bookcase had their own storage space so you could have them specifically for children/toddler books, cook books, skill building or whatever else!

[@blameitondanny]

@@thesims3girlie Yes but I hate when you delete a bookcase, all the books didn't get deleted along with the bookcase. They all been moved to your family inventory.

[@wandauriel]

That was so good feature. At least for a bookworm like me

[@second_second_]

is this.. what Book Nook Kit supposed to be?? Ok i'm nitpicking on Sims 4 now.. but that function is awesome..

[@KatsyKat]

we just need a Sims 3 remastered at this point, not 5... it just needs better performance and less crashes, and arguably graphics

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

Looking at Sims3 graphics you'd think Sims4 was poised to be some mind blowing, hyper realistic game.

[@Twochillpills]

Well there's a game that is 100% a sims 2 and sims 3 remastered coming out on september 12th, it's Life by You, it has been developped by Paradox and and Rod Humble the creator of Second Life and the sims 3 :D I can't wait !!!! There's also Paralives, but still in development

[@KatsyKat]

@@RosesTeaAndASD yea ngl the sims3 models were impressive for their time, just that some assets has really low res textures, and the game’s lighitng bortheree me at times

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

@@KatsyKat Oh agreed. I just expected that Sims4 would have taken the realistic quality sky high given the new quality of graphics and improvements they had so much time to make. It would have been glorious.

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

@tandtmusic I'm actually excited for those. I'm a retro gamer, so I'm used to older games but I won't shy away from these👍

[@alexandracalin2875]

Each texture of the color wheel has a different sound. For example, if you make a countertop stone it will sound different than wood when a sim places something on it, sims 3 is just so cool...

[@thesims3girlie]

yes!! the sims 3 was so realistic and ambitious ♡

[@deezapplesjuice]

That's so cool

[@Oozaru85]

@@ReginaTrans_ Because of the sounds? Yeah, no.

[@klltx2001]

@@ReginaTrans_ I don't think they were trying to be smart. It's not the little details that made it a problem, it's the fact the game itself was so expansive and ambitious.

[@Oozaru85]

@@ReginaTrans_ I know what you mean. But you answered to a comment mentioning the sounds. So I replied to that. And having different sounds for each counter surface doesnt make your game lag. How would it? A sound is played when something is put on a counter top. It doesnt matter how many different sounds there are, the game only plays one each time the Sim interacts with it. So there is always a sound being played, no matter if its just the same one over and over, or if its a different sound being picked each time. Its a pretty simple math. Now, even if it causes delays due to the sound taking too long to load, you would just have those sound delays, but the game wouldnt lag, it would just keep running smoothly. I know that because I have such sound delays in Fallout 4 with weapons and music on my pip boy due to HQ sound mods being installed in my game. The game doesnt lag, only the sounds take longer to load and theres a delay before they are being played.

[@tATuCentral]

1:40 You actually can sort by packs, store content, and CC. It’s a little star looking symbol by the catalog 😊 TS3 just has all the little nitty gritty stuff that 4 seems to have omitted.

[@songsayswhat]

You could also save the color/texture you created to slap onto other furnishings. Makes it easy if you want to repeat a theme in the house. I made one of the prettiest dresses once using a metallic texture and an old gold that wound up looking like raw silk. Textures in the color wheel saved a lot of Sims 3 base game clothing which always looks like plastic to me.

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

Yeah, some of the fabric was... questionable lol

[@songsayswhat]

@@RosesTeaAndASD I think they had their light reflections off. My only CC in Sims 3 was game mods and meshes. Saved so much room.

[@MrJoeyllvllCarbo]

I've been saying all this stuff since 2014 when Sims 4 was released... It was a big step backwards. It's like you go from "total freedom" in Sims 3 to "limited freedom" Sims 4. Sims 4 took out the ability to truly be original.

[@AnastazjaFaith]

You forgot the columns! It's unacceptable that in the sims 4 they are attached to the grid and although I don't know what you can't give them without a cage, meanwhile in the sims 3 they are not attached to the grid ;)

[@Oozaru85]

I used to build for hours in Sims 3, I think I was more in build mode than live mode. Then there was the CAW tool, omg. This thing was so frickin amazing. You could make your own custom world, and people were sharing their creations on the internet. I've never spend as much time in Sims 4 build mode. And the lack of the CASt tool was a huge bummer.

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

I have sooooo many worlds downloaded in Sims3 - Halloween, dystopian, Strangetown, Candyland... The fun never ends!

[@otakuakichan]

Damn now this is making me want to play sims 3. Putting build mode aside I love in sims 3 that the aspirations are SOOO much better

[@TheBurpBehindTheScenes]

ur like the only sims channel that keeps it real love it

[@xzijr]

[@waretaSL]

The reason there's no create a style tool in ts4 in my opinion is so they can force people into buying new packs and kits just for one item/swatch they really want... unfortunate but it is ea's cashgrabby tactics that have ruined the game after all 😪

[@augusto7681]

They did because it was supposed to help with perfomance, as a lot of people said create a style indeed lag in older noteboks and they just wanted to avoid that.

[@y2craze]

Bro they split sims 3 packs into different sims 4 packs this isn't news, they ain't hiding you'd think they would at least hide their shame but the actual gall is insane.

[@MysticEagle4]

Exactly, the customization was really everything even if u didnt have a ton of items in the sims 3.

[@deliriouscheeto]

In the sims 3 you bought packs to get the gameplay. In the sims 4 there is barely any gameplay in the packs so the only reason for buying them is pretty items

[@thesims3girlie]

agreed! and even if they dulled the game for performance purposes, sims 4 packs are so hit or miss. they usually bug out and even more so after a patch update.

[@jai07070]

The idea behind the Sims 4 is to make it more cashgrabby. They want us to buy more packs to more content where in the Sims 3 you have abilities to create more yourself. They outdid themselves in the case of needing to purchase cats and dogs to get 1st pet stuff. The list goes on and on!

[@Scandinavian96]

This is true! I played the Sims 3 for years without purchasing any other packs. The base game was all I needed. But I’ve bought several for the Sims 4! They made the Sims 3 so good that DLC wasn’t needed

[@Maximillion012]

Even the Sims 2 (a closed world game) had a 3D map and ability to add lots to the world. The Sims 4 is such a downgrade.

[@HesteHoved-ew8iy]

You know it’s a good day when Satch uploads a sims 3 video

[@MysticEagle4]

More please lol... also being able to have hybrids in sims 3 i know thats not build mode. But being able to place a column down and automatically having the floor tile outline appear above it was everything in the sims 3

[@AJ-tiltagirl]

Let's also address how TS3 create-a-style allows you to save your own creations! Sheer genius! 😮

[@wandauriel]

Of course the Sims 3 build mode is superior. Especially the create a style tool 👌 I still can't understand why we didn't get colour wheel in next game.

[@waretaSL]

I see no lies in your claims, only hard truths here ❤

[@NopWorks]

The Sims 4 worlds are basically The Sims 1 world but prettier. Even in Sims 2 you can place lots with various sizes anywhere as long as it's connected to a road. When Sims 4 came out, that part is a big turn off for me. Regressing back and forcing people to buy Expansion Packs to get more space to build in felt so cash grabby. I can create my own world since Sims 2 and now they're taking that away. Also if Create-a-Style tool existed in Sims 4, how could they sell Kits and Build/Buy & CAS item reskins - they'd have to do more work.

[@cayreet5992]

If you also owned Sim City 4, you could even create new neighbourhoods for Sims 2 in that game. Yes, you could do a lot more in Sims 2 and definitely in Sims 3.

[@Oozaru85]

They aren't forcing anyone to buy their packs. People are buying them because people want them.

[@HDGamingPlus]

@Oozaru85 because the options in base game are so limited and ugly that a lot of people feel like they have to spend money to get the enjoyment out of a game they want. If they had a create a style mode then people would at least have more options, especially those that can't afford to personalize their games the way they should be able to. Why would a company regress in their features if not to gouge the fan base. Feels icky to me and a turn off after so many years supporting the game.

[@Oozaru85]

@@HDGamingPlus Yes, they gouge their customers. But they aint forcing anyone to buy their stuff. Thats a big difference. You dont need the game to live. Its not something your life depends on. If you dont like EAs business practices, dont support them. Dont buy their stuff. And if ur on PC, there are tons of free mods to improve your game.

[@ple8379]

A first ever let's play I've seen of ts4, I maybe watched like 4 minutes of it. Just because I wanted to see what the game looked like. From the very beginning, I knew I'm not going to get ts4, ts3 was more than enough, and honestly, I was really upset they stopped supporting the game. I watched through the cas, which I thought was really nice, and then the "world view" appeared... Ugly, small, grey. I listened to the monologue of the creator of the video, saying there were no pools, cars, and plenty of other different things. After she finished talking about all the things missing, I just turned off the video.

[@Uchiha.Itachii]

One thing that’s better in ts4 is how you can move the walls, rooms and build easily basically, it just lacked the other stuff from ts3 😪

[@user-ee7kb6sf5g]

You definitely can grab walls to push and pull them in sims 3. You just can't move the whole room around (which I find annoying anyway because when I'm editing and turn the camera the whole damn room rotates)

[@TheGirlInTheIceberg]

about the kitchen counters when you changed texture of it it comes with different sounds when you gonna place the plate on it

[@ElvisLivesUpstairs]

😂amazing. I never noticed that

[@LaurenElizabethYT]

Once in Sims 3 I saved a custom colourway of a pattern, black background, (like a stark #000000) and then circles in painfully bright shades of blue, pink and purple… then I made a child sim and her head-to-toe outfit was this pattern. Then her bedroom… the floors, the walls, every part of every single piece of furniture was all the same pattern. And the colours were so crazy intense, and she basically looked like a floating face when standing in the room. It was ridiculous, stupid and chaotic, but I absolutely loved it.

[@dzizs03]

this is *exactly* the type of stuff that made sims 3 amazing! we could just be totally free in our own weird expressions

[@SandwichCity]

"I detest EA's builds more so than I detest all of my exes" - genuinely LOL'd

[@adrianblake8876]

Which is why in the recent packs EA outsources their builds... Either that or they're trying to get free labour...

[@cynthiashrout1619]

Plus, those custom colors on that counter, you can save and then just grab and drag onto other pieces. EDIT: AND you can upload swatches to TS3. So if there isn't a swatch already in the game you like, you can add your own!

[@lydiayeonnie]

The sims 4 could never

[@karip4676]

Also the build mode items are normal items and make way more sense than some of the crazy stuff in sims 4. I recently switched back to sims 3 and idk if I'll ever go back to sims 4.

[@Lovlyb35]

And there is a Create a pattern tool for Sims 3 too which you can make your own patterns.

[@suncoastcrafting6362]

And in Sims 3 you could make your own textures and import them. I imported so many different patterns in Sims 3 and made rooms where everything matched. Not great actual style, but I had fun. I guess that is the most important point. In Sims 3 I had fun.

Idk the foundation tool is annoying in s4. It’s all automatic. Only thing it has going for it is the ability to move the rooms & whole lot imo

[@user-ee7kb6sf5g]

The camera functions alone make building absolutely miserable. Edge scroll but only on 3 sides. The key for rotating the camera also turns the whole damn room/roof you're working on. Tilt function requires 2 keys. Like tf were they thinking

Sims 4 was supposed to be an upgrade from Sims 3 but no it went backwards. I understand if EA didn't want to do a rinse and repeat with Sims 4 but they could have found a compromise Hopefully Sims 5 or whatever it's called doesn't turn out to be another SimCity mistake.

[@vajda_vvy]

I mean, yeah, building in TS 3 is a bit cumbersome and restrictive, but the objects are much more usable. In TS 4, as you highlighted, many, if not most, objects are so weird and cartoony, and they are virtually unusable in any normal house. We've essentially paid hundreds of euros/dollars/pounds to have a catalogue of mostly unusable items and swatches.

[@Ghoulish_Gaming]

Create a Style was one of the best things about Sims

[@Starlysh]

I think the reason for swatches was so that the colors/textures would load faster in the Sims 4, after having a whole open world with all the colors and patterns imaginable available in TS3, it just felt like a step back. Like I would rather wait a couple more seconds for something to load in TS3 than have such limited customizations.

[@jahanshadi1934]

What i miss : the different size lots to place wherever you want, the create a style and the customisable collections

[@MadoliaSteel]

No no, as a sims 4 passionate builder, I agree. I switched to sims 3 and I'm learning it, and enjoying it now. All the preexisting builds are awesome enough, most are unique swatches, etc. And are highly entertaining to renovate.

[@breenicoll2107]

There is a cheat in Sims3 where you can add extra tiles/squares to the lot sizes as well (I think it was just called Edit?? I can't remember) by using the mouse and clicking where you wanted the extra tile/square. So I would always extend my 64x64 lot size as far as I could. I can't remember if there was a maximum amount that you could do, but I remember I made them huge. *Edit - it may have been Sims2 - it's been too long for me to remember...

[@thesims3girlie]

also wanted to put out that in one of the sims 3 builds you showed there was a base game playground for children already placed for gameplay, the sims 4 could/would never, sadly.

[@noestestristecass]

I don't hate you, I adore you for saying this!! I have always loved sims 3 build mode, I'd say the build tools are clunkier than sims 4 for sure but not as clunky as sims 2 lol, and the create a style or design aspect of sims 3 is incredible, and custom textures are super easy to include in the game if you want. And the best thing no limits in the world and placing all our lots we want lets you build freely on any large lot without worrying "oh no im wasting this lot and what if i need it for something else" Loving how many sims 4 simmers are doing more sims 3 and 2 content recently

In the sims 4 base game, you should be able to create a lake with the terrain tools and build over water anywhere. it’s still not the same as a beach though

[@cmajalis]

I really miss being able to put small lots next to each other. Everything is so far apart in sims 4, Britechester has townhouses in the middle of giant lots and I wish Mt. Komorebi came with an area that had many tiny lots close together. I know it makes sense for suburbian houses but it doesn't work for everything. Of course none of this would matter if we had the ability to place lots like in sims 3 but they couldn't even give us a day/night cycle in the map view

[@kamomu63]

Not forgetting in the Sims 3 you can purchase multiple houses, which is not possible in the Sims 4, I also loved the house with water, was my favourite

I went into this video disagreeing that Sims3 is better than 4, but after you break it down I understand your reasonings (I’m not a fan of sims4 and play 2 & 3 mostly). Sims4 is better in terms of being modern, user friendly, easier to understand and build with but that’s pretty much it lol. Yes, Sims4 has more items, but like you said half of them aren’t practical Clutter items do absolutely nothing. One of my favorite things about Sims3 is some of the pre-made builds, they’re genuinely so pretty and creative! I don’t even really build much in 3 and prefer to start with the homes already there. I enjoy Sims4 build mode because it is miles easier and I don’t mind the swatches, but being able to build wherever and make your own world in sims 2/3 feels so good! I think Sims4 really ruined the game with a 2d world, limited lots, and a closed world.

I prefer the Sims 3 than Sims 4. My top favorites are the Sims 2 and the Sims 3.

The only aspect sims 4 build/buy is better in, is functionality. It's easier to use (especially for roofs). But in every other way, Sims 3 is better. I fuss with swatches to no end getting it just how I like. The only thing in 3 I don't like.. is hair and clothes. But since even those have swatch customizing, I live with it.

[@second_second_]

The customization looks really amazing. Sadly my potato can only run sims 4 and not sims 3.. i didnt even expect to be able to play sims at all because i thought all sims series can only be run on gaming pc/consoles. but yeah the pricing for sims 4 should have been lower i guess..? idk. how about the microtransactions in sims 3? but its base game seems enough so maybe no need for those microtransactions? idk i haven't been able to play this amazing sims 3 and 2..

[@cait812]

The microtransactions in sims 3 were always very optional and unnecessary. You could buy worlds or essentially kits/clothes/lots but the game would be completely fine without them. Whilst now there's really not many and they're all advertised as packs rather than little add ons.

[@nedrane297]

Um, you can sort by packs in Sims 3. But I do love collections. I've made one that has aaallll the bathroom clutter stuff and one for kitchen clutter stuff so I don't have to sort through EVERYTHING to find them. Yes! the color wheel! I like making all my woods in a room match. Oh, for the carpets, try some of the "paint" swatches and the "rock" swatches, some of them make lovely carpets. Don't get me started on Sims 4 swatches, Sims 1 had a better swatch system, you could at least mix and match the counter and the counter top. Sims 1!!! Yeah, the lots in Sims 3 are sooooo much better. I love some of the ones in the store worlds so much that I took them and put them in other worlds. Like I've put some of the bars from Sunlit Tides in Isla Paradiso because they are so wonderfully beachy and its mostly basegame stuff recolored. Love that color wheel!

[@parallel2465]

We have a colour wheel, textures and patterns for a potential create-a-style in how we paint and customize cats, dogs, werewolves and (soon to be) horses ...👏THE 👏CAPACITY 👏IS 👏RIGHT 👏 THERE 👏 But if we don't get it, there's more incentive to buy DLC and especially kits and the argument that it would cause lag is stupid, if that's the case then why do skin tones, makeup, and the aforementioned pets not cause lag despite being customizable? This game is closed world to prevent that and it still lags anyway and there's mods which lets us freely recolour hairs and clothes and even furniture using the makeup and skin tone sliders and there's zero performance difference - its just about monetization and general laziness at this point from whoever is in charge of this scenery simulator

I honestly love that EA doesn’t update their old builds because every time there is an update, my mods break… An update I wouldn’t mind is an objects overhaul in which they add neutral swatches THAT FREAKING MATCH to all the objects. Why are all woods different shades???

Sims 3 without a doubt was peak build mode. Create a style and color wheel is enough to cover thousands, if not millions of swatches and designs. Oh how far EA fallen in the Sims 4, and it hasn't gone back up after nine years in the making.

I've never played the Sims 3, but stuff like this makes me want to. I just have such a hard time getting past the way the sims themselves look. As a sims 4 player who uses lots of cc, I'm used to my sims looking a certain way and the style of the sims 3 is simply not it.
