Sims 3 has really ruined the Sims franchise name, reputation and credibility. I think if the sims 4 was coming out I would only purchase it if maxis produced it and Will Wright was the head developer.

Its eminent the sims 4 is coming. That's why I only bought the base game. it was clear after the update bugs and the ea store. all they care about is money. I feel like it’s a rat race with the sims 3. Alot things should have been the base game. Not an excuse to add those elements in expansion and stuff packs for more money. Plus the amount of bugs that comes with each expansion is the most in game history. That really shows they are not really focusing on putting quality before their release, everything is rushed and it’s like they don’t care.

Definitely not the noteriority the Maxis Company was known for. Yes there was eps in the sims and sims 2 but that was based on advancements they didn’t make or fixed before.I could honestly be just happily entertained with the base game of both instalments of the sims and sism 2 franchise. When you got expansions there was a VERY short list of things that was vital and not included on the base game I wil only things that were in eps in the base game. which is always the case.

Gameplay-The sims 3 was a good idea. But ideas are nothing if not implemented properly.The customization idea was awesome but game play was completely de-emphasized and thrown out the window. I didn’t create for the sims 2 because I didn’t need to , I was way too enthralled in the game .Now I create because that’s the only interesting thing to do in game. I don’t even play anymore.Wright knew what people wanted and had a distinct creative vision that added spark and interest to his games. The game shouldn't be mod dependent, to make it actually worth playing. Also in lot aspects the sims 2 gameplay was way better, like genetics for example. And they completely ignored storylines of prominent Sims characters and simeology. They could even follow through with the most basic of things.

Tools-Aside from the limitation of the game, At least give us proper tools to create custom content! Bring back body shop! It’s very unmotivating.

Lets use skin tones for example:When the sims 3 came out, I thought at least graphics wise would be on the level of Daz 3d .It wasn’t so I was like fine I’ll make my own skintone no problem. Well I was tragically mistaken .I thought at least it would have the same capabilities of the sims 2. This is it. Its impossible to create skins that are hi- def or more detailed like the sims 2 because they would turn out dirty as seen with face masks. The game is simply not capable. So what’s the point of modifying something that has definite limitations?

I understand not everyone likes realism and many ppl love the cartoon aspect to the sims. But at least give us the tools and options to do so. Daz 3dthe customization options are truly endless. It gives you option of creating pixar cartoonish characters to complete surrealism where you you can’t tell the difference between the 3d model on your screen and reality itself. The same goes for worlds and such. Why not offer this advanced tool separate like body shop if you are worried about space and usability? A I know this type of customization is scary but at the same time it’s really exciting. That’s what “advancements” should look like, they should be ground breaking not slight.

The sims 3 was suppose to be a vast advancement but its took several steps backwards from its processor. This makes no sense. No wonder Will wright never supported the sim 3 from the beginning.
