i'll never forget bringing this home from gamestop after saving up my money, just to watch my entire town die and turn into ghosts LOL

One time when I was playing this game my sim got pregnant but before she could deliver the baby she aged up into an elder and got stuck in pregnancy purgatory and would not die or give birth

As time goes by, the townies die and you end up having the town full of tombstones. At ground level you can collect them, but those in the water stay there forever. Additionally, the game generates new ones, but never takes into account the number of empty houses, so there will be entire families living in community lots. I remember that one of my sims child became friends with a little girl, and wanting to see where she lived and search through the houses, I had to use the friendship filter in the map search engine. She lived in the gym, along with other sims who didn't have the same last name.

She’s finally covering my first ever sims game ❤❤ I loved it but even as a kid I knew it was limited af compared to the computer version. It blew my mind when I was finally able to get the sims 3 on pc

Omg everyone died where they landed in this game and I HAD to stop playing because of how creepy it got. It made my skin crawl. Gravestones everywhere literally. Especially around the restaurant patio.

You can only play for 6 weeks before your game completely glitches out and you have to restart

That embarrassing moment when Sims 3 for the Wii has more drama then sims 4

Doris catching flame and passing away right in front of you then watching Tom, who you're flirting with, become an old man before your very eyes is so funny. This game is a gem

i got this as a present when i got the wii but i had already played sims 3 on pc at that point, so boy my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined

The glitch at 25:33 was so annoying and unavoidable that the multiple cars *not* properly unloading in a save file could straight up cause corruption. I would lose so many save files to corruption when I played this on the Wii, and it took me looking through forums online to realize that the problem arises with Sims 3 on Wii never clearing its own gameplay cache when you play. What NPC cars are supposed to do is unload when they leave town through the tunnels, but they just...don't. They just pile more and more textures/car engine sound effects until your file inevitability corrupts itself when loading the save from the main menu. Oh, and apparently, the developers never coded the NPC's to replenish their needs like the sims are supposed to do. That's why there's always so many graves in the streets; they typically die of starvation. Sometimes old age...but mostly starvation. 😅

I could not wait for you to do this video! The Sim 3 on the Wii was my first ever Sims game and it absolutely TRAUMATIZED ME. I completely abandoned the game after out of nowhere, everywhere I went with my sim, there was gravestones left and right 😭😭 ten year old little me tried to put every gravestone in the cemetery but once I got to beach there were so many just lined up against each other I got overwhelmed and never looked back.

I remwber that in this game if you had a baby you dont get told the gender when naming the baby so I had this buff manly man sim named Flora

The fact that The Sims 3 on Wii is fully open world while Xbox 360 and PS3 Sims only allows you to explore a small chunk, and you have to select an arrow at the end of the road to go to the next area, which loads for a bit of time

My older sister had the sims 3 for the Wii. When we where younger we constantly played it and I remember one thing abt it still haunts me to this day. One of the premade houses you have to choose from is built so the sims can't reach the toilet. Everytime when we would have them go to the bathroom they said:'Oh bibilay'. It's a 'sentence' that is forever burnt in my memory.

When the sims smiles in the corner it’s pure NIGHTMARE FUEL 😭

I remember the build and buy was so bad in this game if the "Free Space" got full you could delete all the furniture and appliances and the free space would still be full and would never go down no matter what you do 😭

I WAS SO EXCITED TO GET THIS GAME AS A KID. Looking back on it, I'm amazed at how happy I was with it at the time given how buggy it is. I remember seeing the SAME townie dying on multiple saves in the same spot simply because they wouldn't stop skateboarding to get food. It was wild. That glitch where food would clip under your counters and rot was pretty annoying too. Fond memories overall, though.

I actually like how the sims 3 sims look & dress (very early aughts nostalgia) but my GOD...these versions of them are like clay dolls brought to life

as someone that started playing sims 3 on console this is so nostalgic. i will forever love sims 3 i dont think its ugly at all just outdated

It’s been 10 years and I’m only now finding out that everyone had the same experience?? I thought my computer was just that bad.

Yasss finally!! This one was my favorite when younger, the beachy vibes and exploring all the locations in my tv was the coolest idea for me. Buutttt the no change clothes, no babies, not knowing the sex of the baby before naming it, the fire thing that you cant decorate your home and if you move it will stay like this. OOO AND NO SIMS GENERATING AFTER YOU GROWING UP, it turns into a ghost city with lots of tombstones of dead people around OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THEIR HUGE BOPS ON THIS GAMEEEE, their indie station is GOLD

i have vivid memories of starting this game over and over again because everyone in my city (even my own character) just kept dying. Either i was a stupid kid or my game was cursed lol

The multiplayer was SO fun!! Me and my sister would always play that! More than the actual game lol

I was obsessed with this game when I was a teenager because I couldn't afford a computer so this was all I had ❤ I love it still

im screaming bcs ‘buttery’ is the best way to describe how the sims look😭😭

When I was younger I could never figure out the traits system, so my sims were always supervillains or whatever. I also remember getting soft locked because if I remember right, the neighbours kid was over watching tv, I couldn’t leave my house cuz the kid was there and I couldn’t leave them alone, I couldn’t talk to them to tell them to leave because they were watching tv, and they wouldn’t leave because they weren’t watching tv. I really really liked walking around as a sim though. Sometimes I wish you could do that in the pc games

Oh my GOD Doris bursting into flames absolutely SENT ME 🤣😭

i played this version of the sims 3 when I was really young, I genuinely thought it was a fever dream I had because I haven't seen the gameplay since! omg memory unlocked

The discs for this game actually broke my wii! I had 2 and played it on one of them and suddenly none of my other discs were working in that one. As soon as I played it on the other one the discs stopped working in that too, I looked online years later and found many other people with the disc had the same problem

Okay but the sims 3 on wii soundtrack is my absolute FAVORITE

Ah, yes. This Abomination! I didn't have a 360 or ps3 at the time, but I did have a wii, and I remember being excited that Sims 3. I remember everything being buggy and slow, and I was so disappointed that I didn't know the gender of the 'baby' until after naming them and feeling even more disappointed when they appeared as a child. I also remember coming across random headstones around town and taking them to the cemetery.... This was definitely a miss! I soon got a 360 sorted and enjoyed that port.

i liked being able to walk AND run in the game💀i would always make my sims walk because it wasn’t natural for them to run everywhere

I have an insanely vivid memory of playing this as a kid, making my family and watching one of my parents burn to death while trying to cook. It literally traumatized me for years 💀

When I was a child I used the fish fridge quality bug to make my sims rich whenever I got bored lol

im glad this was a common experience, i asked for the sims for my 12th birthday after reading all about the game and i was given the wii version. it was WILD but i remember the catfish cheat & how it was damn near impossible for my sims to get a good relationship with anyone else

I loved this game when I was a kid, I literally had so much fun! In my opinion, the gimmick that you control your sim like this is soooo fun and I was actually blown away when I played this the first time that you can just go anywhere in the town! But! Yes, it sooo glitchy...I always had this glitch that my sims someday weren't able to use the fridge anymore and I also couldn't sell it, so I always ended up having like three fridges lol

I remember we had sims 2 pets for PlayStation and some grandparent must’ve bought us the bargain-bin Sims 3 Wii version thinking it’d be even better… not 5 min in I was like “this is not the sims I know and this is also barely playable” but I LOVED the premade *treehouse* in the game omg I still do! I wish someone would remake it for sims 4! And the multiplayer minigame randomly included is actually the most fun part of the disc lmao me and my siblings played that minigame probably a hundred times 😂 we were always trying to pick the options that would let us become ghosts and keep playing

I loved the sims 3 on Wii so so so much, it was my first sims game and along with little big planet 1 it’s what got me into gaming. Love her.

Omg the nostalgia 🥺 this was my first sims game that I got when I was like 10. I remember finally getting it on the pc a few years later and having a hard time adjusting to not being able to freely run around. Also that fire hazard thing is weird as hell, luckily it never happened to me

this game fully broke my wii. Like it overheated, smoked and i was never able to play anything on it ever again. LOL

A new Lissy video ooooooooomg! I just discovered you 2 weeks ago and I've binged almost all your videos. I love your take on most things and it's so fun to watch you! I especially liked your Graveyard Keeper video since I've loved that game for a long time but haven't played in a while. It rekindled my need to play lmao Thank you for the time and effort you put in your videos, I watch them as I game and they keep me company :) Also your current hairstyle is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! I love the short bangs, do you think you could do a little video about styling your hair? Thanks a bunch!

absolutely loving this style of videos, these are so fun to watch!

I just remember how glitchy this game was. I remember having an infinite fire that wouldn’t be put out, before my sim fell through the map. That essentially bricked my game, as every save I started from there was glitchy af.

One of my favorite UKposts series that came up.this year. Keep posting Sims videos next year 💖

Sims 3 on Wii was my first sims game ever nearly 15 years ago, it'll always hold a special place in my heart

I fell out at the Doris scene. Ohhh The Sims

As a Sims 3 PS3 player, I wish the work function (where you go to work and make them do what you want them to do) was a thing on it. That would've been so cool.

Liss I am LIVING for the sims series!!! 💗💗 another amazing videoooo!

i remembers as a kid playing the sims 2 and just aways watching sims 3 lets plays and i wanted it so badly and when i finally got it i was very underwhelmed, also what an era for cc

Liss plsss keep these types of vids coming!! Your commentary is 👌👌

I remember in the older console Sims games, if you exceeded the fire code the house would just set on fire somewhere random.😂

I used to love this game, I remember where tombstone appear all around the town

Liss + Sims is a video I'll always click

i grew up on the sims 3 pets for ps3 and it was my FIRST sims game, it has cool extras and it has a lot of content from more than just base game and pets, weirdly. but i think you should do a playthrough of it! theres interesting lore, and cats who can laser eye ghosts!

Liss, I just discovered your channel a few days ago and have been binging your vids ever since! I absolutely love your presentation style! ♥

6:16 that speed up noise yeeted me back 17 years to the Sims 2 Castaway on ps2 thank you

I remember playing sims 3 on pc growing up, I never heard of it being on wii till I went over my friends house and he showed me this game when we were in high school. I'll never forget all the cheats and his weird builds

I loved this game when I was younger, I know every song, sound, sim, job, and activity. I knew that town like I lived there, but I always thought the glitches in my game where only experienced by me, glad to see that is wasn't. I would never in life play it again, I'm a sims 4 PC girly now.

I remember really liking the music that played when you zoomed out and viewed the map 😂

im so hyped for this because since i was obsessed with sims as a child but i only had a WII this game was the only thing i had closest to the pc version😭😭.

Oh the memories…like many I had this before I was able to get the PC version and I’ll never forget sending my kid to school slightly hungry only for them to STARVE TO DEATH in the middle of the school day…

PLEASE revisit for the multiplayer! It's a text adventure game for some reason and I remember it had surprisingly funny writing and I played it a lot as a kid

Finally I was waiting for you to cover this one 😭😭

The sims3 on wii traumatized me as a kid, my sims' kids kept getting taken away💀

3 was my favorite one growin' up. Played it a ton in my late teens. Tried to redownload and play it after discovering your channel. It just refused to work. I'd start to make a house and then it'd just consistently crash.

this game was absolutely broken but i always loved the music in cas and build/buy!

this was one of my first sim games and it was so chaotic lol. This game is so nostalgic to me and it’s so fkn funny to see it was the same for you, (the lag, the dead town, not many options for love interests,the build mode,townies dying while they’re out and about LMFAO) One save of mine had the whole beach full of tombstones it was pretty eerie lol. anyways great vid i always wanted someone to review this crazy ass game

This video is so nostalgic! I only play sims 4 but I used to play sims 3 in tbe wii

Has anyone played The Sims for Nintendo DS??? literally so weird and a different game lol but nostalgic

the sims 3 wii was the first sims game i played. i loooooved it lol. there was no rosebud cheat or anything like that. the way you could cheat money was by buying this certain fish and selling it for a lot more lmaoo

I got so excited when you said you wanted to try harvest moon!!!!! It's my favorite video game series and I'd love to see you play all the different titles!!

Yesss omg I am looking forward to you playing the harvest moon games!! 🎉 especially harvest moon ds - it was my favorite game as a little kid 😍🥰

omg PLEASE do Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons. Your videos get me through my work day and that series is one of my hyperfixations lol

"Cups of the rosé" SENT me 😂 absoutely love your vibe and commentary. idk how you didn't rage quit over this game tho

It's hilarious that "On Wii" sounds like "ennui"- a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction from a lack of excitement. It's fitting. I'm a sims 3 lover, but the lack of supportive infrastructure and all of the bugs really puts a damper on things. I played it for years with minimal issues and now it runs so poorly on windows 11 that I just play modded sims 4 instead.

Yess Harvest Moon is my childhood! Especially the psp harvest moon boy&girl. Looking forward for your videos!

i was today years old when i realized there were different versions for the wii😭😭 the one i had didn’t have multiplayer, the ui was so different and i don’t think we could free walk but this was like 2010 or something so i don’t remember if i could or not. i definitely remember the money fish glitch, lmaoo i lived in the biggest house with the pillars at the time. good memories 🤣🤣

I'm a new subscriber on this channel, and I really love your the sims videos, its so good!!!

This video was in my watch later so I woke up to it playing after I had a nap without pausing my video. At first before I actually looked at the screen I kept thinking you were saying "The sims 3 ennui" which sounds really silly but in my half asleep state I was like "oh that must be a pack I didn't know about"💀

The only computer we had was too old and only running the sims 1, but we had the wii with a ton of pirated games. The Sims 3 was one of them, and I remember trying to play ONCE before never playing again. Yes, there were only people at the beach. The Sims Castaway on wii, tho? Love it

I've been a Sims fan my whole life. Great job on your videos. You're a great reviewer and not cringey like some of the others. Keep up the great work. I just got sim ant. And sim Earth is on the way. Haven't played those since about '93

i love videos about old sims ports! you should totally do the sims 3 for the DS if you haven't already! if you don't have an old DS lying around, there's online emulators that are easy to find!

I remember being obsessed with this game (I still have it lol) when I was around 11-12 cause my friend also had the game and showed me all of the exploits you could do in the game XD

i used to play the sims 3 on the wii and the music absolutely took me BACK.

You should absolutely play Harvest Moon games! They were my fave growing up and I’m playing the Wonderful Life remake now and it’s so nostalgic 💕🐮🍅

The absurdity of this game mixed with your nonchalant and aloof reactions made this vid particularly hilarious lmao

"Excessively open world?" You mean the best part of the whole damn game?

I love the town in this game. It feel the most open world as running around feels like 1st person. The fire thing is crappy glitch. You pretty much have to fish cheat thr money and buy the house you want because the fire warning thing never goes down only up. There were also like secret upgrading town buildings like i believe if you learn cookie recipe from bookstore the bookstore upgrades. Everyone dying in the streets was a bit traumatic. And the toy glitch was bad... no toy box of the kid cause the toys get stuck behind fridges and they die. But the game was fun to run around and be chaotic, talk to sims. You feel like you wanna go outside in this game.

honestly with all the death, it's weirdly appropriate that it sounds like you were playing "Sims 3 Ennui"

this game feels so liminal aha,, you're right that normal sims 3 is NOT this empty (at least for me)

I loved this game, it BROKE my wii. i cheated, buying 99x fish and putting them in my fridge before selling them back, having infinite money. After I did this, my wii broke and wouldn't turn back on.

I like how on the guitar in that game you can play "Every Rose Has It's Thorns"

Can't believe she spent her whole pregnancy carrying tons of fish around town

Gonna comment before finishing the video. I hope you shared about the co-op this game had, I was excited to play it with a friend, only to find out it’s a weird (but kinda fun) quiz thing? to see who has a more successful life.

I had such a wild time with this game when I owned it. I had a Sim whom I wanted to get married to a townie, but he was married, so I invited his wife over, locked her in a room until she starved. Married the dude and he was non the wiser lmao. The Sims dying was really annoying though. I swear I spent like half of my Sims life just cleaning up all the graves scattered around town and putting them in the cemetery, because if I didn't there would just be graves literally laying around everywhere Another Sim I made had a baby with a townie, he never moved in to my household. One day I couldn't get a hold of him anymore, never saw him around town, and also I never managed to find his grave anywhere so he literally just disappeared from the game. I assume he just died and his grave just didn't spawn. He literally ghosted my Sim. Ended up not being able to continue my save file because my Sim had her child a little too late in life, and she died of old age like a day before my Sims kid was set to age up, so my Sim died of old age and it automatically ended my game despite everything because my Sims kid would get taken by the social worker. The fire code thing is a glitch I think. I had that problem too. For some reason even if you sell things or move houses the fire code won't go down or reset, essentially screwing you forever Also I remember that it wouldn't tell you the gender of your baby was until AFTER you named it, so it was very tricky naming kids lol. This game was a horrible buggy mess but it was so goofy it made it memorable.

The sims 3 was the first ever sims game I owned when I was kid. I didn’t have a computer back at the time and this video was so nostalgic for me. I used to play it all the time until it crashed my Wii U

It's wild how different the game is from Sims 3 on the Playstation 3. I totally recommend you playing that one too if you can, it's very ellaborate, and I remember there being meteorite showers when your sims built up bad karma

i remember my sister going to the beach in the sims 3 everyday in sims game just to pick up the graves

i vividly remember playing this with my cousin when we were younger 😭 it’s crazier than i remember

I used to play the hell out of this as a kid. Sims 2 on PS2 was my first sims game and I was just happy to have an open world. I would do that catfish glitch to get hella money and always live in the lighthouse house.
