Sims 3 or 4?
>>
Neither
>>
4

Because the facial models are shit in 3

I've only played one and three and 3 is definitely the superior game.

3

>>320817658
This i'm not even joking
Sims 2 was the best game
>>
4 has nicer butts
>>
>>320817438
2 = 3 >>> 1 >>> shit >>> 4
>>
>>320817438
3

eventhough the game sucks donkeyass when you load it up with all the expansions and mods, once it runs its actually fun

sims4 is loadingscreen after loadingscreen and is only 10% of all content sims 3 has
>>
>>320818067
Oh and dont forget how they removed open world and vehicles instead of improved it

EA money hungry jews that only care about selling extra useless shit instead of making a game fun
>>
>>320817438
4 runs better and I feel it has a nicer aesthetic to it

3 is better in every other way
>>
>>320818120
>>320818067
>They have too much content so Sims 3 runs like shit!
>Sims 4 removed content fucking why??

Did you believe Sims 4 engine was better handling it some shit?
>>
>>320818203
>>320818067
this
>>320818120
especially this

>>320818253
having much content doesnt mean it should run like shit

all they had to do was make sims 3 again but without all the fucking memory lag (maybe make it 64bit?)

but instead they completely nerf the game so it keeps running on single core processors and just make the lots smaller than in every previous sims game, remove open world which made the previous game so awesome etc

4 was more fun
>>
>>320818373
the body designing was great but it looked a little cartoony

but in terms of gameplay and building and open world an vehicles and no cast it was horrible

only improvement was sims creator

>having much content doesnt mean it should run like shit

It shouldn't but it probably would on Sims 4. So, what do you prefer? Crippling performance with good content or I guess decent content running smoothly in comparison?

I personally hate playing games stuttering, freezing, loading and low fps in general.
>>
>>320817438
Removal of open neighborhoods pretty much negates everything else S4 may have done well because it's such a massive step back to loading screens.

ayyy nice functional mirrors

is this really a thing in sims 4?

>>320818461
it is no argument, lots of games who have plenty of content but dont run like shit

they shouldnt just create 30 expansionpacks that all cost full price and focus on the game more
>>
4 for waifus and husbandos
3 only after carefully picking the expansions and content that won't bloat the game
2 is best
>>
>>320818520
That aint a mirror it's a glass tank of some sorts, I think

What mirror? The mirrors in Sims 4 are functioning but I think that's like a glass enclosure or something
>>

>it is no argument, lots of games who have plenty of content but dont run like shit

It's EA.
It's the Sims.
It's what you get.
It's what the devs have to work with.

All hopes on getting performance or content is on a new sims getting released. Anything else is fantasy.
>>
>>320818641
so all they had to do was make sims 3 again but

1) with better waifu creator
2) not run like shit

sims 3 is literally unplayable

>>320818635

ok thank god

it wouldnt have surprised me if they took that out
>>
>>320818689
I also hope for an age of video games being more like those x-xx years ago.

There is no hope for that though.

>>320818743
RUNS
FINE
ON
MY
PC
>>
How come there's no competitor to the sims with more realistic graphics and more depth?
>>
Sims 1: 64x64 lots
Sims 2: 64x64 lots
Sims 3: 64x64 lots
Sims 4: 50x50 lots

Bonus: hey lets take out that open world

ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
>>
>>320818859
yeah

it runs

but the loading times are completely unbearable

sims 4 runs like a fucking dream in comparison

>>320818889
open world was one of the reasons why sims 3 ran like complete ass

Singles: Flirt Up Your Life. It's focused more on romances and fucking, but has also aged at this point.
>>
>>320818871
remember cities skylines? they completely btfo of ea's simcity, so theres talk on their forums they might try to make a life simulator like the sims


>>320818951
so instead of fixing it they remove it

and the open world ran fine, untill they decide to make fucking 30 expansionpacks, then it started running like shit on even the best computers
>>
>>320818951
You mean the loading time (singular). The one 5 minute loading time when you launch the game. And then no loading times after that.

Unlike the unending loading screens on Sims 4.
>>
>>320818689
>>320818641
A big thing with the sims 4 was that it was originally meant to tie into sim city
A lot of the things sim city had were built with sims 4 being integrated eventually
Of course sim city was an enormous bust and EA had to pull out of their plan
This meant remaking sims 4 to be standalone and is why certains features are the way they are

For instance the entirety of instancing was made not because of how shit 3 ran without it, but because of how shit everything would run once an entire city in sims city was trying to run it

The focus on sim city integration took away a lot of people from working on things the sims 4 needs as a standalone game, like everything that was in it in the past

tl;dr sims 4 was meant to jell with sim city and thats why it's worse tham sims 3
>>
>The sims has sold over 175 million copies over its series
Sweet fucking Jesus

And they say women dont buy games
>>
Why aren't there Sims with an adult theme?
If a burglar shows up I want to shoot the cunt instead of calling the cops like a cuck.
>>
2 > 3 > 4 > 1

3 would be GOAT if it didn't run like fucking garbage, still a great game though. If you go with 3 I'd recommend downloading a smaller world from tumblr or something, so it doesn't lag your shit out.

How do you guys build perfect houses? I tend to go for boring square/rectangular ones.

>Sims 2 Open for Business

Seriously, why the fuck did they not do a Sims 3 Open for Business? I know they did Ambitions and added a very shitty way to make your own business, but my god they had a perfect setup with Open for Business and chose not to continue on with it.
>>
>>320819141
Because that accounts for metric ton of expansions as well. And there are people who play nothing but Sims so they buy it religiously.
>>
>>320819089
what the fuck, how the hell would they want to combine the 2?
>>
Not bothering with Sims 4 until it's got witches, seasons, and the shit they added in generations 2bh

Should I risk installing Origin for it?

Origin is less shitty than steam, so yes

Yeah the ultimate pack is fun.

>>320819571
>Origin is less shitty than steam

Isn't 4 just 3 copy and pasted but with less stuff?
>>
>>320819863
You could probably argue that every Sims game is just a copy/paste with less stuff. (Until the games gets its like 12 expansions or whatever.)

That being said, 4 runs very well and the emotion system is well thought out. 4 definitely has potential but is probably not worth picking up until it has 1 or 2 more expansions under it's belt.

>>320819237
I love how they stopped doing complete collections after 2 when they realized nickle and diming people with individual expansions and content packs was much more profitable, even years after game is no longer supported.
>>
>>320817658
This. 2 for PC and PS2/GC/XBOX

>>320820283
But 3 had more content and gameplay than 2.

it has more content than ts2 though, although 2's content was arguably better
