As a die-hard TS2 fan, I'm begging you to stop talking shit about yourself and trying to project it unto others just because they like TS3. TS2 is great, but accusing TS3 fans of being delusional just because they point out that their game of choice also has positive aspects makes you the delusional one, not them.

The best possible game (and the reason why so many sims fans became disappointed with TS4 so early on) would have been a combination of the best aspects of 2 and 3. Because yes, I prefer to play TS2, but there were some great things about TS3 as well.

In other words, don't call TS3 fans delusional, as it makes you look ridiculous.

ts3 is garbage
there are no best aspects
there are no great things
get a grip

I'm the anon that said that "TS3 was a mistake" and I agree. TS3 is a good game. It's incredible that Maxis were that ambitious in the mid 2000s and managed to pull it off even if it has it's problems with performance. What I mean by TS3 being a mistake is that a more logical sequel to TS2 would have been a game that built from TS2 introducing more depth and complexity of existing systems, instead of starting from scratch with a new engine that was created to enable an open world on limited hardware. TS4 should have been the first open world sims game because by 2014, 64-bit multicore CPUs were the standard and would have been able to run the complex simulation of TS2 in an open world environment.

I agree. They were so ambitious with TS3, and then with TS4 they went the exact opposite direction. The open world and color wheel didn't do so well in TS3, but how nice would it be if they returned in the future when computers could actually handle them? Instead, they are scaling back and making a game that can run on a phone. It's really disappointing.

(By "a game that can run on a phone" I am referring to Project Rene)

"The open world and color wheel didn't do so well in TS3"

That was because some of you had shitty computers. For the rest of us it all worked great.

The only thing you all can truly bitch about is perhaps the LN traffic or certain worlds having borked routing (IP), but that's it.

tru delulu

Having things like a fast NVMe SSD helps but with TS3 it gets to a point where more powerful hardware doesn't help because it's a 32-bit executable, it doesn't matter because TS3 is never going to use more than 4GB of vram, 4GB of ram and 4 threads.

there's a reason everyone plays either ts2 or ts4 the only people who actually prefer to play ts3 are people who never played ts2 and ts3 was their first game so they have nostalgia for it no one who has played all of the games would choose ts3

nope. i played all 4 and yet TS3 is my game of choice. and i'm not the only one

but ts3 was your first sims game

bold assumption, but totally wrong ))) my first Sims game was SimCity2000 in 1993, followed by SimTower and then The Sims, which i discovered in 2001, year after its initial release

those are not games in the sims series dipshit
