Honestly I was really disappointed with the lack of color options. I wasn't used to not having a color wheel. I didn't end up getting into it until last year and that's only because my husband bought the base game for me and i seen how smoothly it ran.
I remember playing the demo for a couple days, then giving in and going to the store with my dad later. I'll tell you what though, these selection of early base game clothes definitely makes it noticeable how obsessed they are with neons. Neon magenta, neon blue, neon green EVERYWHERE, it was not cool even in 2014, I promise. It took them this many years and collabs to realize people want neutrals.
Honestly it’s embarrassing that how they thought everyone wanted flashy zebra print purple and green, but they couldn’t comprehend that neutrals were something that were needed? That’s so shameful tbh
Neon colours where in during the 1970's, and made a comeback in the 1990's. Broad legs where a late 1960's thing, often in bold colours. Low waist where late 1960 to early 1970's
I find it so crazy how TS4 is so bad at making trendy/in style clothes. They basically missed the whole cycle of the high rise pants. Low rise pants are already kind of coming back in style and it feels like it was quite recently that we started getting pants that don't show our sims' butt crack.
Maybe I’m just getting too old, but I am so angry that low rise pants are coming back in style. I only recently started getting new clothes and getting rid of my old high school low rise jeans, but now they are back in style!
I remember when i first got the game like 5 years ago, I thought CAS was amazing, but than I discovered cc, they updated the gendering system of ts4, they discovered what subtle was, and they updated hair colors and skin tones. So looking back i really realize how incredibly lackluster the old CAS really was.
This video reminds me how upset I was with The Sims 4 CAS when I just started playing it sometime after launch. There were no curly hairstyles that in-between slightly wavy and fully dense/afro curls, so no way to get hair like mine or in general the type of curly hair so common where I come from. Like my ethnicity did not exist as all in the game lol
I was so impressed with this demo back in the day, then was so disappointed with the game on release. so, I continued playing sims 3 until literally June 2021 🤣
I've only ever played 4 hours of The Sims 3. It only once made it pass the loading screen for me. So I went years without playing the Sims and just jumped right into 4 without ever really playing 3.
As I was driving, today, I locked eyes with my own stuffed Snap cat, on the dash, and realized my partner had turned him around to mess with me. His face told me a story of hope, perseverance and melancholy. I, then, turned him back around to get back to the view of cat cheeks I was used to. What a day.
Oh my god, the goddamn demo version. I remember when my sister made a very, very important announcement at the dinner table one night. (She was OBSESSED with the sims 3. She has played it since like 2011). And she had to legit beg my dad to let her get it. I sat on a dining chair in the living room, next to her, and watched her play. God the nostalgia 😭
Didn´t know about this, but I still remember the strugel of creating a Sim in the first Sims Game and how many options there where in the sims 2, played that probably the most.
I remember when the base game and CAS demo were released, you could upload the sims to the gallery, I maybe misremembering, but I do still have some old CAS demo sims up on my gallery.
I played with the CAS demo, but I refused to actually buy the game itself until they added toddlers to it. Stuck with that too- I didn't buy the game for years and I've never felt like I was solid on the base or the earlier expansion packs because I got them all at one time.😅
First time ive played CAS just blown me away. I felt like it was alien technology ngl. Then I tried playing and found there was no toddlers, quit the game and never came back.
it took me a few years to get the sims 4 after it came out cause i didnt feel like not having pets but i had the cas demo and it BLEW my mind. then cats and dogs came out and i still waited cause i didnt care if i didnt have horses 😂
I was so extremely disappointed that we only had 3 trait slots and I also had almost every pack in sims 3 so the trait options in sims 4 was also disappointing
Imagine: I bought the Sims4 when I was 13 for my PS4. My parents didn't allow me to have internet access on my console, meaning: no updates, no packs, no deliveries, no gallery, no mods. So basically the base game from 2016 until I turned 18.
Oof, I have to go to the dentist next week cause I’ve got a bad tooth ache, I think it’s cause I’ve been waiting 3 years for braces and my teeth are slowly crushing each other

I hand painted the Sims 4 original plumbob and it took me 4+ hours. I used acrylics and blended every green I had together to get the effect. Not to brag, but it's perfect. THEN THEY CHANGED IT 😭
Me too haha. It's nice they have more skin colors now but I think like half of them are not usable. The cool skin tones are really grey and some variations are almost the same skin with different details in the shadow.
@@francis7336 I started with Sims 4 and when I tried Sims 3 I was shocked by all the traits they had, it's at least twice as much and way funnier options too. So sad
i just remember playing for HOURS in the demo before my grandma finally bought me the full game after it was out for a year. she said it was sad i only played like half the game😭💀
I do want to clarify that in the Sims 3 you could still go into advanced mode for editing facial features. Just that all the options were controlled by sliders. The options were still there.
Honestly, even when the game came out, within 20 minutes I was missing the sliders for the face, and I think after about 1.5 hours making my sim and house, I played for less than an hour before quitting and switching back to the Sims 3 because I was bored 😅
I don't get why people choose TS3, if not for nostalgia. The gameplay is best in TS2, the B/B mode is best in TS4, I guess the CAS depends on the person, but imo TS3 sims look awful and have same-face-syndrome... so I don't see any field that TS3 works best. I guess it's mediocre in all fields
@@antonizajkowski9698 I dunno, I preferred the sims 3 gameplay over the others, especially from the expansion packs. I'd play for hours in each of the different packs, even after the sims 4 came out. I even preferred building in the sims 3 until we got more build/buy items in the sims 4.
@@antonizajkowski9698 Nah, it does have simillar amound of gameplay as TS2. I really miss TS3 school in other games, 2 doesn't really have school gameplay and High School Years... You want me to do another repetitive gameplay like Get To Work? It's way to much complicated and time-consuming, and after a while you just don't have interest in it. Prom and notifications were way better. And theres many stuff like that, if it wasn't for look, it would be a great game, open world, pets, horses, small animals, snakes, cute toys, univercity, magic creatures that weren't inpacting game too much to get annoying
God you pulled that Sweater Dress out ( 7:18 ) and I was transported back to Lifesimmer's OG sims 4 lets play, I think the sims name was Candace Monet and she wore that. And then I put every sim in that for a year because it was the cutest thing we had in CAS
I remember going to Gamescom in Germany and standing in line to play the sims 4 demo. A woman came up to me and asked me if I wanted to partake in a quiz and ofc I said yes immediately. She asked me what the name of the "thing above sims heads is" ... i immediately answered "plumbob" and my price was skipping the waiting line 😀that was so awesome. At least 1+ hr saved. And I got to play the demo which was so amazing! 😀 I see it in my origin libraby all the time but never thought of revisiting it. What an amazing idea kayla ! 🙂
omg I've also played the demo at gamescom!! I was so impressed back then and thought it was totally worth the wait for 1. wait in line and 2. wait for the game to be released... but looking back it was actually sad and lacking so much
Cas was groundbreaking! As a player that experienced the game develop from sims 1 to this it was HUGE improvement! Of course I didn’t have eyes to notice any flaws
the other day i went back and watched one of the first James Turner formerlyknownasthesimsupply The Sims 4 videos and boy the build mode was TRAGIC, and even then, i was too busy being in awe at how practical all the build functions were.....how naive i was
The dress and legging combo is what a few of my female cousins wore for Christmas Eve one year. They including knee-high and thigh-high boots along with a wide belt to complete the look.
There are actually two wedding clothes (full body outfit) in Sims 3, one with, and one without necklace. I've always used that one when my female sim was about to get married
i remember searching EVERYWHRE for this game back when it was first released bc it's an illegal game where i'm from. i was finally able to get it from an underground dvd shop and installed it on my fat computer only to be disappointed by the lack of everything compared to the sims 3 and deleting the game
I remember renting it for the 360 when I went to visit my sister and brother-in-law, and was in awe. Now I feel like it was a dream and didn't happen. That being said, my nephew turned 8 just a couple of weeks ago, so he and TS4 are the same age....
