The sort of cartoony touch fits the game amazingly. Sounds silly to say, but it looks better. To see the potential in 3 just look up Setra.

3 let you shape the land of your lots and town. All lots are flat in 4, no terrain tools.
#Sims 4 vs sims 3 how to#
You can learn how to do most of the same stuff, but it's incredibly unintuitive and way harder than it needs to be. Sims 4 is alright, but just has so much weird non sense to work around. Even if it was just things we couldn't ever visit, making the map 3d and colourful would have added that much more The cheapest looking thing they could have done, not even render a town. It still baffles me, the sims 4 town map. Pets while less significant, also just add that much more life. Seasons again really just brings a lot of character to any kind of sims life. I miss expansions like seasons and pets, though those are surely coming later. Now they just become kids instantly so your perfect young adult sims and now be your perfect older adult. It's potty training and teaching to walk and talk. It feels like one step closer to making the game exclusively about living out a teenagers view of a perfect life. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal to some, but it hurts the game for me. Want that outfit to be totally knit? Totally leather? Your call. Want the house to look a bit shabby? Maybe use some rougher textures, make metal look a bit scratched or rusted. You could really make anything the way you wanted. I also really miss being able to change the color and texture of anything. I mean if they have universities will we be loading between each building? Will we even go in any or will they just disappear for a while? It also makes me more cautious about future expansion potential. Load screens can be irritating even on an SSD. I have less challenges I can put on myself such as a homeless playthrough.

You look back at the first sims 3 trailers about getting into the world, well in the sims 4 it kind of feels like your door is shutting again, even if not fully. In the Sims 4 I rarely leave the area immediately around my house (or my job for the three jobs you can visit in an expansion).

I put in way more hours into sims 3, so maybe my current opinion is biased by simply having less time with 4.
