without further ado, here's as complete a list as I can come up with right now of why I like Sims 4 better than Sims 3:
I wouldn't expect you to let The Sims 4 off the hook for not having an open world just because there's an open world mod available for it, so don't expect me to let the Sims 3 off the hook for its technical issues just because some of its technical issues are addressed by mods. But the other games angered me more, and Sims 3 was the most frustrating for me.Īnd finally, a third disclaimer: out of fairness, I compare the games based on the unmodded experience. That includes the Sims 4 - I go through phases where The Sims 4 pisses me right off ( exhibit A). This is because every Sims game has frustrated and annoyed me for various (usually technical) reasons. Second, another disclaimer: Instead of saying Sims 4 is the best Sims game, I often prefer to say it's the Sims game that pissed me off the least. So that's the purpose of this post - to get all (hopefully) of my thoughts out there. So I have zero ill will toward anyone who prefers those games - you are my brothers and sisters □ However, I often find myself having to explain why the Sims 4 is my favorite Sims game, and I usually end up responding with a couple reasons, but I've never compiled the full list. I loved the hell out of both those games.
First, a disclaimer: I played Sims 3 for years.
