Some more corrections and clarifications, as always: - Sims 4 has added likes and dislikes to music genre and color in a recent update so the favorite music and color fact is now incorrect. - Turns out you can actually change sim's name without cheats in Sims 4 through a wardrobe or a mirror. I kinda prefer the way sims 3 does it though since it feels more "official" - You can also give a scrap of food to pets in Sims 4 *but* when they're eating, not when they're cooking. You can give them a scrap of food while cooking and eating in Sims 3 so that's why I didn't mention the eating one. - Sims 2 and Sims 4 sims can create snow angels but always with their back, but in Sims 3, certain sims can also do it face first unlike most sims, which is what I emphasized in the video. - Sims 4 has portable beds, but not exactly sleeping bags which is more unique with its own animations and all

Jesus, even after a decade there are still things in that game I didn't know about. We can only hope Sims 5 can reach the heights Sims 3 did.

In Sims 3, parents can also tell children to go to bed and if their relationship is good children will obey them or if they have a bad relationship children will disobey them.

sims3 is very realistic like a real human, but sims4 is like a stiff barbie doll

Maybe not a little detail, but I love how alive the university feels in University Life. You actually see students do student things, like business majors practicing their presentation, communications majors broadcasting on radio, and medicine majors studying anatomy. Not to mention how awesome the student parties felt, it's hilarious to see people randomly fighting in dorms

You're telling me I've been playing this game since 2009 and I still didnt know some of these details?! That 'digging a hole at the police station' one really surprised me! I love Sims 3 😂

I loved feeding my sim their favourite food in sims 3. Their little happy clap is so cute.

I’m tired of sims 3 being under appreciated and underrated please post more vids like these

I use the online dating *SO MANY TIMES*. I'm too lazy to go to community lot to meet someone lol.

8:38 omg how cute is that?

I missed the pregnancy food cravings, the favorite things, midlife crisis and horoscopes 😩 there's so much I miss from sims 3

I miss those times where the sims would go everywhere by car instead of always have to wait for the loading screen like in sims 4

Man, do I love playing the Sims 3. Sims 4 had a lot of potential, but unfortunately it just didn't hit the mark.

I love that if you have the bird tree or leave the bird cage door open in Sims 3 the bird will fly around the room they're in. If it's outside the bird could fly away and you lose it :( It just gives so much depth to the pet care

the fact that he sat there and search for these things, that's dedication

The attention to detail in the sims 2 and 3. Sims 4 seriously, what happened??

The car driving over the kid on a broom I AM WHEEZING

GOD this just reminded me of how fucking good the sims 3 is! I wish EA would optimize it

I just noticed each expansion pack has an Occult Late Night: Vampires Island Paradise: Mermaids Seasons: Aliens Pets: Unicorns Supernatural: Werewolves, Vampires, Witches, Fairies, and Zombies Generations: Imaginary Sims Ambitions: Sim bots University: Plant sims World Adventure: Mummies Showtime: Genies Into the Future: Sim bots but more advanced

They focused too much on making sims 4 pretty and not as much on actual game play.

This is why we look back on sims 2 and 3 with such high regard. Don’t even want to know how that will look in a few years with the sims 4

The "Can't Stand Art" painting looks kinda cool for me 👀

Sims 3 has so much depth. I’ve been playing for years and I still have new stuff to try.

omg I always thought the adult pets cuddling with their babies while sleeping was the cutest thing ever. I love sims 3 so much.

I’ve played the sims 3 for 10 years and never knew about the difference in paintings

And sims were scared when they entered a room without lights and knew they were in the dark👀

Freaking *SIMS FREEPLAY* had bunkbeds. I just do not know why bunk beds wern’t included in Sims 4, and it was in Sims FREEPLAY, a FREE game.

i know you specified humans for having a ghost baby, but i'd like to point out that using an alive occult sim will work too. kind of. if you use an occult sim, the baby will be a ghost hybrid. i had a witch and a ghost couple, all of their children were ghost-witch hybrids. ghost hybrids happen because occult lifestates still keep their powers after they die, so all occults technically become ghost hybrids when they die. ghosts are neat!

These detail videos always make me sad for the Sims 4. It's so lackluster compared to the others. I switched back to the Sims 3 about 3 months ago, and I can't go back to Sims 4. I tried, but I got bored after about an hour. I'm scared for The Sims 5.

All this time I've wondered how you fulfill the ice cream and spaghetti wish and never bothered to look it up 😂 hope your schooling is going well!

In the sims 3, when it’s summer and really hot outside, when you look in the distance it gets wavy! Such a cool detail

I like how in sims 3 when they are getting some food they each wait there turn , instead of walking away that always pissed me off in sims 4.

Damn, Sims 2 and 3 were so detailed 😭😭

10:37 so THAT'S why I would occasionally find my bills on the ground rather than in the mailbox, that's really neat actually

the dislike is from the sims 4 maniacs

Great video as always. Without any more, here's some additions and corrections. 52. A detail I like is that Vegetarian trait will limit the favorite food choice to meatless foods. The selection there is of a vegetarian sim. 56. It not only affects the plaque, but also gravestone's color. For example, death by fire and meteor has a orange tint to it. I like this detail. But death by watery grave is still marked with death by fire plaque. However, it can be changed in buy mode by holding down control and shift buttons and clicking on it. 57. Not only for sims themselves. If a sim also has children, they can change their name. 60. True. There's even a lifetime wish dedicated to learning all the coiking recipes. With World Adventures, it will be more difficult to achive as your sim has to travel. Natural cooks can trade kitchen secrets to learn new recipes. 72. What I find off-putting of that feature is that married sims appear there. Also, sims send a lot of love letters during spring... 85. Mail carriers are more likely to to do that if the mailbox is full or unreachable. 86. By "whatever floats your boat", I also remembered that sims can fish on houseboats. Sorry for random one. 87. Well, another random thing... Hey! I just noticed a Mysterious Mr. Gnome on it! The bed came with the patch needed for Island Paradise. 88. If you have an alien join the military career, the description (on the panel where you accept the job) is different and instead tells the alien to be ready to be a traitor to their own species. 96. The sleeping bags are usually used at pajama parties, where all children/teens sleep in a sleeping bag when the night arrives. A very practical object indeed... 100. These three tier opportunities have very interesting reward plants. The first gives you an ability to grow cheese and egg plants, the second lets you grow steaks and patties. And the third rewards you the ability to order omni plant seeds through mail. That's all. Thank you for great video.

I love TS3. I know it glitches sometimes, but it makes me laugh and adds goofy. It feels so open and you can have so many different objectives.

I really liked when in sims 3 you had to really teach a toddler how to walk, I personally like it more then 4

More details: - Mermaids have scales on their legs while in human form. - Horses. - Vampires have glowing eyes.

In sims 3, sims can have protectors. My sim asked her girlfriend to be her protector and I thought it was cute.

The one thing i really like the sims 3 is view world option...we can follow the sims at the same time can look around along the way, can look what our neighbors do 😅

10:45 mailman looks very proud of his work

For the point at 10:37, if you look in the XML tuning files for the game there is a line which reads: "" This basically means that there is a 20% chance for the mail carrier to do the angry animation, so it's notcdepedent on traits or accessibility like some people think

Favorite Color does impact home purchase color scheme when you choose "furnished" over "unfurnished."

I didn't even know about that detail where you can free the convicts with the drill! That's hilarious, I love it

I'm super impressed by the amount of activities there are in the sims 3. I really wanna play it (I still play Sims 2 haha)

Wow this makes me realize how much sims 4 lacks fr

I love that the video opens with sims using bunk beds. Now that's definitely a detail missing from the sims 4, I tell ya!

Sims 3 will always have a special place in my heart😍I swear they thought of everything and put so much effort into this game. Soooo many things and little details that I still haven’t even discovered after all these years.

I noticed this week that Sims bounce their knee when sitting at a picnic table, these little details make it the magnificent game that it is, and SO superior to Sims 4

In the Sims 3 parents can also ground their teenaged kids for stuff like skipping school. Only problem? They will apply being forced to stay home to things like going to school so the kid'll have to sneak out. Because if they don't go they'll get grounded further. Kids can also ingratiate themselves to their parents by doing laundry to then ask to be let off the hook sooner. I once got stuck in an endless loop of one of my kids being grounded because the mother was being super bitchy about it. I had to send the parents on vacation to get the kid ungrounded (because the timer ran out). I think they can also get grounded for leaving too much dirty laundry on the floor. I also love how witch kids who have a broom can use the broom to go to school instead of the school bus (for example if they're late). Teens who can drive and have a car can use the car to drive to school.

The only things that I didn’t like in Sims 3 was how the Sims looked and how buggy it got sometimes. Other than that it was my favorite.

Pets can ask the Death to not take their owners! My dog saved one of my Sims! So cute (in the Sims 3)

The prisoners escaping from the hole is hilarious 😂😂 I wish I knew about that

Really cool, just started playin' Sims 3 again :D

So we all know that Sims 3 Supernatural came with pictures that change overnight. But to find out easily which picture changes overnight, in buy mode those type of pictures have purple border around them.

I haven't tried the hole at the police station trick. I must try it next time I play.

11:33 That reminds me to vampires stealing blood fruits from the supermarket or blood from the hospital. I wonder if the Sims 4 you also... Wait... there are not even supermarkets or hospitals. If you want a fast video you can make one about details from the Sims 4 not available in previous versions.

The Sims 3: endless immersion. The best for me.

God i wish i can slam my pencil straight to my homework and it will be automatically done too.

I still play the sims 3 regularly. No shame, it's a great game. I always watch your vids. They get me so hyped to play. I tried the sims 4 but it never shook the feeling of being a "glorified" mobile game to me. Too many core features missing or details seeming half-assed. If anyone needs any help with their laggy or crashing sims 3 game let me know. I've been playing this game since the beginning and know a lot of tips and tricks. If I don't know I at least know where to start looking. I love this game and I want everyone to keep enjoying it the way so many of us still do. It deserves the love.

TS3 the king of gameplay, along with TS2. Edit:The detail 78 is soo cute

I just want a combination Sims 3 gameplay and Sims 2 traits/turn-ons with Sims 4 graphics and not having to pay 40 dollars for seasons

I’ve seen deer in the sims 3 and I look at their names and one deer is named Bambi

Impressed to check it out since other simmers don’t know, but you know when you find some “details” in TS3. (I possibly think that The Sims 5 with the new Unreal Engine will have more details since there is too many to list. Can’t wait to see it soon!)

Hidden detail also, Couples on Sims 3 can also cuddle on their sleep, which is not yet featured in Sims 4

I’m in love with Sims 3, the best sims gameplay ever🥰

Thank you for making subtitles. I’m very grateful that I can enjoy video without sound at night so I don’t wake up anyone. Thanks a lot.

in the sims 3 they put allot more passion , love and detail

8:12 Genius I love how things like this happen during your videos xD

- In The Sims 2 Open For Business EP, you can sell books on bookshelves, and the whole bookshelf will be emptied of books. That is the only time when you can find an empty bookshelf in need of restocking. - In The Sims 2, ghosts can just haunt certain objects and scare Sims in their paths. - Actually in The Sims 2, Sims can also feed the dog autonomously from the table or from the kitchen counter.

In summary: If you want to build - Sims 4 If you want to PLAY a life simulator - Sims 3

Gotta love it when a (absolutely wonderful btw) Sims UKposts account is more transparent and takes more accountability for their mistakes than, let's say, your average politician 😭💖

Traits actually interfering on the Sims’ acts?? What a concept

I don't remember if you already mentioned it in one of your videos, but another fun detail in sims 3 was the shape of the tombstones. If your sim had live a "normal" life they would get a normal tombstones, but if they completed their lifegoal and lived a particular happy life they would get a fancy one

This is why Sims 3 is my favourite game

My parents didn't have the money to buy any expansion pack so I only had the base game (the preorder tho). And to this day, almost 12 years later, it's still my favourite gift I've ever gotten in my whole life. (My fiancé bought me a second hand car and it still can't compete 😂) But I never craved for more! The base game was always enough for me and it was unlimited fun! With the Sims 4 I never feel the need to play it. When I save up for the occasional pack, I'll play (mostly build tho) for a couple of weeks and won't touch it until I get to buy the next one when I can afford it. I watch Simmers play and that's enough fun for me. However I can never watch a Sims 3 gameplay video in one go. I'll start the video and feel the urge to play. I really miss the Sims 3. I think I am going to stop spending my money on the Sims 4 and start buying Sims 3 packs. At least I will actually use them. PS. I posted that comment on the Vixella react video but I feel like you deserve a comment too! Thank you so much for this wonderful video ❤️

In my school we talked about changing names and I said you can change it in the citizen office. I only knew it because I was playing the sims 3. (I hope what I wrote made sense. My native language isn't english.)

I like looking at the online dating because I see married Sims on there and I just love drama!

Sims 3 : more interaction to Sim itself. It's fun! Sims 4 : making interior, decor, being an Architect. It's fun b-but yeah

Listening to S2 music while watching S3 animations tickled the middle of my brain

I just recently bought the Sims 3 starter pack and Supernatural again. It’s so fantastic

There's kind of fav food in the sims 2. If you send your sim to a restaurant, you'll see a bubble above their head with some dish -- it's not a sim just thinking about ordering it's actually their fav food

My sim was a singer who cought on fire and died after bouncing off of the prize exploding device that singers carry with them to sing telegrams. My sim was at a museum so there were no shower to put the fire out. She was the only sim in my household so the game just made her a ghost sim! Lol I did not save my game! Death by Singing Telegram no one has ever covered it.

This is a video I didn't know I needed to see until right now, especially since I kept rewatching all the other ones xD

Okay, the painting trait fact is so cool to me! I had no idea.

Seeing a ghost take a stroll with a baby is both terrifying and funny

The witch teen's eyes after he got burned.

pets cuddling and the different painting types based on traits are amazing

OH MY FINALLY, THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!

And just when I wanted to know more Sims 3 details, you uploaded 😭❤

The sims 2 soundtrack gives me such nostalgia! Gives me a wave of happiness remembering how life was easier back then

Yayyyyy, sims 3 is great and i've been waiting for this vid to come

the stylised paintings are so cool!!

When my virtuoso Sim at the top of the music career read a book to his son as he was tucking him in, the book was sheet music.

I had forgotten most of these and now I'm nostalgic again for Sims 3. Thanks Abi! :)

Sort of in relation to number 90, I've had cats scare away the Grim Reaper when my Sim died and literally saved them from death. I have only seen it once and it was an accidental death via transmutation. Grim comes along and the cat is like HELL NO and literally hisses at Grim, he changes the Sim back from gold and buggers off! I just haven't seen it mentioned yet that this can happen so just in case 😁

9:55 The face, when you get caught cheating in a test xD

Thank you so much for bringing this up, feels so great to have nostalgic moment about this game 🥰🥰🥰 Hopefully I can play this game again in the future 🙌😋

Sims can make baby food by putting a regular meal in the food processor
