The Sims 3: Generations is the best expansion ever made 

What are signings?

Can we have a full play through?? I miss this game sooo much! ugk my heart

ya! if you get famous in base game using the sports career or the singing career through the movie theater

In sims 3 or 4

I literally went straight to the comments after you said that to see everyone who proved you wrong LOL

Avonta Palma that was awesome but that always bugged out the game

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!!!!

@@PolyBiBadger once the parents of my family went on a trip and they just never came back lmao. Was great for some drama though

Which always led to my teen sims being grounded, for some reason 😂

yes and if u didnt clean up before they got home u got grounded

Also reminds me of getting into private school in Sims 2. I played it as an angry teen who was tired of being screwed over by public school so since then and to this day, I always make sure all my simself's children go to the private school

I always had my sims live rlly close To the school and I would force them to walk there 😂

Man, that cop was the royalty of roasting

ToxicLagoon He was! 🤣

I totally forgot about police in the sims 3. I know this is strange to say but one of the worst things about ts4 is its lack of crime lmao. Like no robbers. ts3 came out when I was like 10 and every time I got robbed I was TERRIFIED and called the police immediately. But those random little things that made the sims 1/2/3 so good are missing in ts4.

@@avah3643 that's not strange at all, it adds SO much to the game. they were so interactive - when your teen sims were out past curfew (11) and the police tracked them down in the police car and took them home with a warning! I used to love doing that and try making my sims outrun the police

This reminds me of the time when my vampire sim stole blood from the hospital and cops came to arrest her

Also could throw parties when parents were away on vacation. Loved doing that and got the cops called more than once with hefty punishment from the adults! Loved it.

Honestly to me it’s kids. There are many mods that offer stuff like what you said for teens but for kids it’s nearly impossible, it’s like they have no personality

Or sneak out, have crushes on a specific sim, take their parents car for a secret ride, start a band :')

I made a boarding school for my Sims, I made a huge school with teachers, and I taught my teenage sims skills they'd need for their career so they leveled up faster and I could focus on other things

Yep I feel like they're young adults with the exception that they have to go to school. That makes me really sad, teens were my fav age in The Sims 2 with their peculiar things 😭

That's why I can't really play Sims 4. After Sims 3 it looks so boring..

Mi Cy same :(

Exactly! But sims 3 dosent have much mods like in the sims 4 :(

x TealStories it doesn’t need mods because its already complete... unlike...

K-pop Junk exactly!!

Totally agree.

yes!!!! literally all it would need is the graphics improvement, better loading times, and maybe like a small addition of base build/buy, and they could release it as a bundle of everything like they've done for the sims 2!!

Problem is that wouldnt be possible, if the graphics were improved the loading times would be even slower than they already are

@@username8448 That's actually not true, there are plenty of open-world games that run perfectly with high-end graphics settings (even Maxis games like Spore) - the reason why Sims 3 runs so terribly on most computers is that the code is really heavy as well as uncompressed, and _that's_ what the computer can't handle. If they streamlined it the game would run amazingly.

just sims 3 with better optimization would make me happy tbh (though better graphics and stuff wouldn't hurt)

Megan Stanley ugghh same!! I used to go on for generations until the game just crashed cuz my pc was old hahah. I even struggeled finding partners for a new generation, because the whole world was from my family. I tried to do that in sims4 but it’s just so boring. I just end up building houses

i miss the family tree! i’d have so many generations of families and seeing the giant family tree was so rewarding. i get bored of sims 4 families so quick lmao because there’s not much to do.

Megan Stanley AGREED

That's my best friend's story too 😂 she can spend hours and hours on sims 3 but she can't stand sims 4 xD

I disagree because my save file would always crash in the sims 3 (without mods) and I had to start over On Sims 4 I got all the freakin mods and I still haven't broke my save file over a year and a half

Yes but if you buy Sims 3 on Steam its about 20EUR and and is always on sale for 10EUR.

TheEmmaHouli what?! Omg I need it now, thanks!!!

And they’re greedy asf

Sims 3 : lot of contents for a lot of game issue Sims 4 : Good Graphics and mods, 0 issue with the game

G2a.com!! $5

me as a sim

me irl

EA chimed in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?"

That was hilarious!

Spot on

lifesimmer was my reason for getting the pack XD i still don't have ambitions though

I think we can all attest to how god tier that lets play was, absolute sims community gold

She is the Freddieismyqueen of The Sims

i miss herrrrr. she was the OG simmer and was the one that got me obsessed with sims

Martii yes!

Love Music Soul i get bored from CAS alone 💀

i’ve gone back to the sims 2 , i’m hoping they release a sims 3 ultimate collection soon

sanaalex1s i’ve got the whole sims 3 all expansions and stuff packs for free 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s the same as the originals, it’s a perfect copy of it, even i can download cc with it

@@VUNELE oooh even the simpoints furnitures?

mochigom no sadly, but you can do everything else, lmao i even made an account and logged in through the launcher LOL

And the graphics of sims 4 isn't even good by triple a standards

The sims 2 was good for it's time as well, with the storyline and gameplay, so imagine the sims 2 with the quality of sims 3 expansion packs, and sims 4 graphics and build mode.

The Sims 2 was pretty cool for it's time, but I think the Sims 3 absolutely blew it out of the park for their time. I love how in depth the Sims 2 was especially regarding animations and being realistic, but I think Sims 3 still takes the cake.

They robbed us of everything INCLUDING robbers 🤦 I just want someone to steal my stuff so I can beat them up and call the cops!!

@@diamonddog2638 I think both Sims 2 and Sims 3 are great depending on what you're looking for honestly, the Sims 3 seems like a game more for doing more family stuff, while the sims 2 would work better for those who want drama, or fast paced gameplay (or maybe thats just my adhd talking,) or just a game that wont set their computer on fire whenever they load it up, lol.

So the only fun people have is making an alarming amount and then shoving them out as quickly as possible?

@@ArchieRatsworth that's the only way EA let's people enjoy children and toodlers gameplay.

Well i play 100 baby for the makeovers, not the kids

@@julierachel19 but you do play with kids. I'm not saying that people playing the 100 baby challenge are the ones asking for far more content designed for children, i am saying that people do play sims in many ways, many of them involving kids and many of them not being a young adult simulator.

I also love starting as a baby and trying to get the best traits through out the life.

But with the sims 4, my heart would definitely not flutter. Sims 4 is garbage

Sims 1 is my fav 😭 I find myself having a hard time when my sims on sims 4 aren’t at work keeping them occupied

And the sims 2 clothes and hair styles

Aren't the sims 3 The Sims and the Sims 2 on the same timeline? E.g storyline? (I mean it literally says "before pleasantview there was sunset Valley" and a good deal of the sims in the sims 2 are in the sims 3 just younger (disregarding Don Lothario) also don't forget the gameplay of the cars in the sims 2 (where you could sit in a car and the cars reverse when leaving the driveway and the animation of the cars for example the pizza delivery jalopy

Sims 1: Price and Music

@@sockshandle the timelines are the same yes, i think the comment was referring to the memory system in the sims 2

I really do wish they added the imaginary friends in Parenthood

samee

Omg! Yes! I remember doing the same thing '^^.....I miss sims 3 so much 😭

they creeped the absolute shit out of me ngl

i loved the imaginary friend so much

Hayden H 100% true though haha

that’s deep 😳

Truer words have never been spoken.

I thought she said tangle...

I read this comment at the exact time she said it wtf just happened🤯🤯

do we know where she is now? I know she stopped posting bc of mental health reasons but is she online anywhere?

@@nicolegsell4577 No not really :( seems like she just disappeared

She’s active on Twitter and sometimes she streams on twitch

Nicole Gsell She got really sick (Mental health) and things like that, she does have a video on it. She is alive and active on Twitter and I think Twitch too though!

She was my queen

i forgot about that! that was great

Which sims?

AND PROM

Madison Haley sims 3

In sims 3 my sim won “most popular” even though she had one friend and a boyfriend and nothing else.

55sammi and the god damn color wheel

@@S_u_n_Flower_ Jesus christ, yikes.

Okay: Sims 3 open world and customization, Sims 2's little details (opening cupboards, cardoors, hair physics, etc) and storyline and Sims 4 graphics and CAS

God's Girl shut the fuck up

Truth.

ShookyShooky i love her still, i watch some of her lets plays sometimes

Omg yes! She was such a sweetheart, I was so sad to hear that she passed.

I loved her so much. I can’t believe how long it’s been.

Ikkk

i was obsessed w her seasons lp🥺

Amelie I used to cry watching it 😌

Delaynee McDulin I still do 😔✌🏻

Amelie it hits your feels ❤️

Yesss

It made me a fan of All time low 😂😂😂

personally I find them really annoying

I miss the festivals SO much. It makes it feel like the whole town is celebrating and not just your household.

I don't go very often but I do love the park festivals! I need to put my house right across from the park or something next game!

With the other expansions I was able to make a family band and yeah it was very emotional

Kat Krol my heart 🥺🥺🥺

same :((( the sim i played for 4 months died and I couldn't even

A Sim I've been playing since he was a child - took him to school. To prom. Multiple boyfriends. Took him to college. Met his soul mate. Got him a degree in photography. Married his soulmate. Adopted a toddler daughter, helped raise her. Maxed out his photography collection. Taught his daughter to walk, talk, use the potty. Taught her to drive. Even "bad" things like having to ground her for skipping curfew to stay at a boy's house. He finally died of old age and I was absolutely HEART BROKEN. The Sims 4 could *never*. I will always. ALWAYS say, that for a game that advertises "emotions" as one of the main perks, The Sims 4 is so robotic and soulless.

@@NokoFace They literally went backwards with The Sims 4, I'll never understand why they took so much of the heart and depth away.

Zethany LOL MEEEEEE

Same lol!!! #teamsims3

same i could not for the life of me get as into the sims 4 and i’m alright with it tbh.

Lmao I used to be like the then get famous drew me to the dark side

Seriously, TS3 just never gets old!! TS4 had no charm for me frankly

you can plan an event in the sims 4 actually, using the calender from seasons!

sims 3 is still superior though

I’m guessing they’re basing that on sales figures.

I actually love kids and toddlers in the Sims, they were my favorite thing in Sims 2, and seeing them so..washed down in Sims 4 is sad, I'm a family player but Sims 4 is only made for YA/Adult sims :/

Yeah, and maybe make it easier to "promote" grades? I get the snarkiest messages about a kids lackluster performance even though they meet the skills and do their homework. Like, I'm trying to keep the kid fed and sleeping what more do you want? 🤣

Omg Jack and Elsa from EnglishSimmer!! I bought it thanks to her too😢

@@itsmariaa18 Those were the best days. I miss them ❤️

Those were the days sister those were the days!

I remember watching Quxxn play S3 allll the time.

me too😪

Me too! I remember being on the Sims forums at the time and the general opinion was that Generations was lackluster and there was nothing noteworthy about it. Oh boy if only we knew we’d appreciate it hard 10 years later 😂

Don't we currently pay about that much anyway lol. They are like 40ish dolars plus tax so it's almost 50 anyway.

Jayden Parrott They are all half off on origin rn

@@BT-pk1kr not anymore

you guys should puy expansion packs on this website called eneba they are really cheap and legit, they give you the code right away and you go right to origin put in the code and the game downloads

@@alourarosette6226 that sounds like a great way to be scammed

Agreed! Sims 3 open world and gameplay with Sims 4 building mechanics would be amazing

Ah yes I remember that ^_^ so much fun...ugh I almost wanna play again lol.

steamcommunity.com/games/1118520/announcements/detail/1715239279381504604 i just looked into the game to see if it was coming along , i just wanted to share because some people were saying it could never be released but it looks like their definitely working on it :)))

Karlie Daily honestly I can’t wait for something new. As much as I love the sims (been playing it for 7 years and it’s still my most played game) I feel like parts of the sims 4 have just become stale and gameplay is boring. The thought of Paralives being made gives me some hope for something new :)))

Liv, you said this perfectly

*laughs in free download*

Im not intersted in ParaLives I will always support Sims

You're not a true simmer if you don't do this. xD

I’ve never felt more connected to a comment than I have with this one 😭😂

I do that with minecraft 😂

No point for strollers since we dont have open world

LL If that’s the case, then why do we have bikes? Our sims are capable of walking down the street...strollers could’ve easily came back.

Lol I would marry him make kids with him and then send his kid to boarding school. While our kids stayed in the house

25 % is being very generous... Parenthood did introduce a new character value system and while I'm not mad at it, I often find it too much of a hassle Generations on the other hand seems admittedly more superficial, but it gives you a TON of everyday activities to spend time on with your sims - it enables you to actually play out a story and personalities rather than just grinding down on one action to gather those damn value-points Edit: reading this I realize it could come across as rather agressive - rest assured that wasn't my intention!

Changing Mind no you’re right. Parenthood is all a grind and it’s basically a numbers game with no real family fun. It’s funny how the Sims team or EA refuse to focus on kids and teens, but has also dumbed down the sims 4 like they’re trying to appeal to 10 year olds as their target audience. Everything that made the sims fun like rude humor, scary or exciting things is gone. Replaced with pointless parties and bars where no one can get drunk.

TJ G I agree, the parenting skill becomes a chore and doesn’t have enough substance to it.

i started with sims 4 and am going back to sims 3 and i didn't wanna buy sims 3 generations cause parenthood sucked dick but now i really wanna get generations

@UTube Junkie It’s funny because the random advise pop-ups that I can’t opt out of are one of the things I don’t like in Parenthood, and my Sim autonomously grounding their kids all the time in the Generations was literally the only thing I hated about Generations. Although I do agree that it should be able to be done at every level, I actually feel like the punishment system is one of the few things they did right in Sims 4. Personally I want to be in control of my household sims at all times and I don’t want them doing things like grounding their kids or messing up their character values without my permission. Seriously you don’t know how many times my sim’s older brother autonomously decided to lecture his little sister/ground her (in an un-cancellable interaction, btw) her because she *barely* missed the school bus and got on her bike, thus making her even more late to school. And then she’s be stuck in the sneaking animation for the rest of her life because I didn’t immediately cancel her after school activity that automatically queed up after school. 😂 But other than that, Generations was the best.

Apparently the next pack is a hobby pack!

Or at the very least if the little districts where. It’s annoying af needing loading screen just to go next door, but being able to run all along the street

LifeSimmer's Generations let's play was iconic.

OHmygod ME

Dove Love period🤏🏽

I fucking LOVED her Generations series, she is what got me into sims!

bro that’s what got me into the sims years ago-

I MISS IT SO MUCH ugh

@depressed cockroach They're strippers not prostitutes, lol. But now I am wishing for an adult version of the Sims. I can imagine how crazy that would be!

@@TheRealityofFake just download the sex mod lol

Me too! It’s such a good game...!

Ahjusshi _Brown ew periods? Full stop 😂

same

I guess she meant that there was actually no crowd like this, it didn't feel as overwhelming

Oleg Kushakov if you were a ‘rockstar’ top of the career track, you could hold autograph signing sessions and big crowds did swoon over your sim like this!

yes i also remember it was possible

Da gek sho look at you people coming together to dive in perfect nostalgia and tell everyone that you were in fact there when it happened :’) I like you all so much!

*Keanu Reeves has entered the chat*

Alan Rickman had left the chat

When I saw Kylo Ren without his mask for the first time, the first thing that came to mind was "This dude looks like Snape." and my mind was never changed

@@char915 too soon dude

mallory bailey Adam Driver and Keanu Reeves

Emotions are one of the only things I like about 4. I also want the variety of food (like the cool cakes) and the smart speaker! And some of the toddler/kid things like that coloring table, the clay, some of the toys...

Emotions could’ve been cool but they did like nothing with them and they’re moreso something you have to work around instead of a cool, fun gameplay feature.

i think the mood meter is better than emotions, a low mood meter tells me much more than "very inspired" does

This is how I feel about the Sims 2 because I actually never played Sims 3

Remember those are the same bitch-ass devs that made teens in TS4 the same height as adults just so they could reuse the adult animations instead of creating a separate set for teens...

And then games like The Last Of Us 2 are coming out... the sims team really isn't passionate about it anymore.

@@KreeZafi yeah, they already made the job easier for themselves, yet every time there's talking about an object with new animation they act like they need the entire team to make it

plus bunkbeds in the same EP, which they were also not able to budget for in any sim 4 EP, GP or SP

@@YAUUN bunk beds would've been perfect to add in Tiny Living -_-

Because they already know the answer and don't want to actually do it for some reason. Probably want to work on other projects.

We need to flesh out the baby lifestage more. The only thing we do with them is age them up.

Because it’s about money I mean it’s EA

The choices are always things like "what would you rather have, a fire detector pack or a pack with new bars?" and then they say everyone asked for the crappy pack.

Do they need a poll for this though? Lmao

Don't be so sure :)

@@RedRoseSeptember22 maybe in the Sims 5 (although I'm not getting my hopes up) but it's not gunna happen in the Sims 4 at this point lol

@Caitlin DAVIS SAME🤣🤣

it didn’t even come near generations in gameplay unfortunately

Ok

Guess you spirited away

omg saame--
