The Sims 3 Island Paradise is the biggest Sims pack I've EVER played! 

@kenyagirly unfortunately, that was before my time. I did play it once on a PlayStation 2 when I was like 8 lol.

yeah sims 3 is like put all the fun things inside with the price of performance... while the sims 4 is more stable because not open world... but its good enough for me since you can move inside neighbourhood and i kinda rarely explore all the sims 3 map anyway.

And Island Living is just the beginning of “Sims 3 did it better”

I was so excited when it was announced. They bragged about how smart the Sims were and how they even had emotions lmfao 😭

And if you compare it with the release version when there weren’t even toddlers, pools or basements and hundreds of other things it’s even worse

I think it is basically EA wanted sims to cost less, make more money, take less effort and time to create, they also liked to coin being more inclusive to people with crappy computers who refuse to update their 10 year old rigs, or something similar. TS3 was too ambitious for them more or less..

CD Project Red kind of did that with Cyberpunk and Rockstar games w/GTA "Defective edition" 😅, I think when something is rushed and pushed, the joy is taken away from people's jobs which they otherwise love, but are under immense stress and pressure, working longer hours and/or underpaid and poorly accommodated for the job (e.g.,TS4 using an engine of a mobile game 🙃; TS3 trying to achieve the impossible, way ahead of its time; Rockstar hiring Grove Street Games for the job etc.). I totally get your point, though. Companies should not go back, but it happens, sadly, the only thing the customers could do is to stop buying the faulty product, which should in return raise the standard; but we don't see that happening, since everyone is buying it and they're profiting...

@@zuzanalazarova1018 The Sims 3 was great but sadly buggy as hell when you had more than one or two packs. The open world and all the Sims that lived there were just to much for most pcs (I think in the end even the You Tubers with their top notch PCs had trouble). Probably one of the reasons why they are so obsessed with performance. The Island pack was an nightmare in itself because all the houses and boats floating around tended to get stuck somehow.

We will say the same about Sims 5 compared to Sims 4. That one looks quite harsh

@@lisal5718I mean I have 4 packs and my computer isn’t great and I’ve never had trouble apart from slightly longer loading times.

We've all been there lol

I remember when my brother and I got so into assassin creed on the PS 3 that we were strategizing how to kill in a Templar in church and my mum caught us😂😂😂😂. She was so confused.

Oh boy. I never get tired or bored.

I've had this same experience way too many times with sims 2 & 3

Wow crazy that parents let their 13 year old stay on electronics all night. (No hate, I love the Sims & could play it for hours too, but as a mom I am amazed 😅😂)

Yeah because you will know that there would be major changes in your gameplay once you get a hold of TS3's EPs.

sims4 chaos is annoying. sims3 chaos is entertaining

Sims 4 I like better

My simself has like 25 children thanks to world adventures

Same, this was my fave and then world adventures. I miss them dearly.🥲

same, i played a save in isla paradiso much longer than i usually did as a kid (bc i wouldn't play generationally) and never had the issues most people did. i was kinda shocked when i heard that it was broken for most people.

My laptop would be about to combust and I'd just crack on playing 😅

I played the sims 3 on a Mac 😂😂

Going underwater with your sim and having caves to explore fish to catch and meet actual mermaids is insane

Sadly the world is broken and kills even my gaming pc

@@maxonite It doesn't kill my laptop and it's a weak 4gb one (I have yet to upgrade it). Do you have any fixes for it done?

@@maxonite if ur willing to mod im p sure you can get fixes for it

@@klltx2001 i got master controller and such… i still do have to try the houseboat fix though, we’ll see

completely agree! sims 3 actually gave you what it felt like to live on an island. sims 4 missed soo many marks.

Yes, it's true, this expansion of The Sims 3 is heavily criticized because of the... ...bugs. But it's also true that there is a mod to completely solve the problem.

If the majority of people agree on something (something quite rare), odds are...there's truth to it.

We can dive in Sulani though if your sims has no fitness skill it might not be possible (I'm not sure)

@@_Lavande_ I mean that there is no underwater world like in the Sims 3 :)

I used to delete the houseboats and their lots and I had no problems, bearing in mind I was then playing on a laptop.

@@jenniferjones3004 I have only ever played the Sims on a laptop, the lag from Island Paradise was worrying until I saw RU-vid comments saying to remove the large houseboats to reduce the lag. Randomly clicking on videos helped me big time.

Each hotel has a rabbit hole with the cheap accommodations and some more expensive VIP rooms which aren’t rabbit holes. Sadly you cannot make a resort with only VIP rooms.

@@Ikwigsjoyful I remember disliking just that, that's, having to have the rabbit hole building on my lot. I wanted the resort without the added building, such a crap on y building style. Still, getting that then was better than the stuff we don't have now.

@@MandPKratz Heh, I once tried putting the rabbit hole portion underground so no one could actually use it, but I could still have a functioning resort. Sadly, the maintenance people kept managing to get down there, and then getting stuck. I agree that even with the rabbit holes it was better than not having resorts!

ah yes. because Southeast Asian does not exist.

​@@zephdo2971"such as"

Yea but you can’t even get far enough into the sea becuase it idmetially makes you go back

also, ts2 is the only game with water physics! (when you jump in, it actually impacts the water around where you splash, etc)

@@denama in ts2 most things were to a level none other iterations attempted. Besides water physics, animations were way more detailed, from rain water on the roof to full step animations for sims actions.

wait, WHAAAT!?! there's King Triton in the game?!?

@@pachocharoenzo3678 yes!! Its like a rare occasion just like the unicorn but if you’re in one of those underwater spots you can find him and meet him, he has long white hair and I haven’t played in a long time but I’m pretty sure you have a seashell where you can call him to come over afterwards if you’re at the beach

Also… I love the all in one bathroom! Such a timesaver! Haha!

OH YE CLEARLY THE RELAXED PART IS GONE NOW SINCE WE JUST SCREAM NOW, GO BACK PLAY RESORTS so we can type without caps again lol

I played the crap out of the lifeguard career! (I even had a mod for it at pools, not just beaches.)

What does routing mean?

@@akaHmoush Essentially the pathfinding.

ea and steam are having a sale right now if you wanted to fulfill those dreams!!

@@thesims3girlie Thanks for letting me know I'll check it out!

I want to see a sim get killed by a shark - TO THE ISLANDS!😈 Ooooh! How do I summon the Kracken?🙂

yesss I completely agree about the execution part!

awww that's a cute storyline!

@@thesims3girlie Thanks! I thought so too. (Btw They were both hopeless Romantics and I named the lady Ariel lol )
