i spent a lot of my weekend playing sims 3 and mannn i forgot how much i loved that game, but it also makes me miss the sims 4 like crazy
rambling thoughts below (also if you played s3 what do you miss or not miss about it???)
sims 4 just does a much better job with relationships and dynamics between sims, which makes it such a good platform for storytelling and i miss that because all my sims 3 sims’ relationships just seem so flat
but there’s something about sims 3 that just makes it so playable. the open world truly was so nice, i love not having loading screens anytime i leave the lot and being able to toggle between sims as they go about their day - i miss it so much in sims 4
also the autonomy in sims 3 just seems so much better, when i leave my sims to their devices they always seem to want to clean up or play with the dog, but in s4 it’s play video games or drink water and leave dirty cups around, plus they spend so much more time actually doing things instead of standing around (maybe this is just because i didn’t excessively mod my game fro s3 but still)
and the wants in s3 are so much better than whims in s4, something about the way they’re displayed just makes me actually want to complete them, and i love that lifetime aspirations show up as wants for kids and teens
other things from s3 i missed:
- pets are more doable- in s4 they’re always running away from neglect because my sims don’t interact with them unless i make them
- separation between worlds- i wish you could travel to other worlds for vacation like you can the ones from world adventures, but i like that your world is contained in s3, everyone at the school lives in your world, everyone at your job lives in your world, you can maintain relationships with people from other worlds but they’re not showing up at your door every day (esp. in the context of a decades challenge, if your sims immigrate from europe to america you won’t be seeing your european auntie walking down the street in your neighborhood)
-color wheel - oh my god, i had almost forgotten, this genuinely was a heartbreaker when s4 came out, there was so much variability in cas and build in s3, even with limited clothing options you could create unique looks for your sims with different patterns and textures and you weren’t restricted to the awful ea options
-clothes- something about the s3 basegame clothing option, it’s just very workable and versatile, maybe i think this because trends have come full circle, but a few years ago when i jumped into s3 again i remember being so tickled with the outfit options
-teens- there’s something about s3 teens that just makes them better, maybe because they made them look like teens by making them shorter instead of just scrawny, but with generations teens just feel more fully fleshed out than in s4 (i don’t have growing together or high school years so ig that’s on me, but also i can’t afford both of those packs)
-packs- something that has really been grinding my gears for the almost TEN YEARS since s4 came out is how much extra content you have to purchase, for s3 if you wanted game content, for the most part you got it through expansion packs, but s4 is just excessive with expansion packs, game packs, stuff packs, kits, etc. there’s just so many features that you want in your game, but it costs a small fortune to get them all because they’re distributed across packs that cost up to $40
-PRICE- i have so many nostalgic memories of saving up my $20 to go to target and buy a new expansion pack for s3, then the joy i felt when it was on sale, every s3 expansion was, and still is, $20 but for s4 they’re twice that, the only time i can ever justify purchasing anymore is when they’re on sale
- rabbitholes- it seems like for s4 they did away with a lot of rabbitholes, just not work and school (except with packs), it was nice being able to send my sims to the movies or the bistro for a date night and not have to be following them the whole time, making them interact
- ownership- maybe it’s just me but i miss physically having the boxes the games came in and putting the disk into the computer and having the little icon for every pack on my desktop, i don’t like how everything’s through origin or the ea app now, esp. because for whatever reason s3 university got uninstalled on my moms pc and ea wanted me to buy it and when i used the code from the box it said it had already been applied (i only have the one account i have no clue why tf they took university from me) and if i didn’t have the disk i wouldn’t have been able to reinstall
- i also miss little things, like ordering pizza and seeing my sims drive around and catching birds in the wild and holiday festivals

Also you guys!
Earlier this month (April 5th) was the two year anniversary of me posting POYT 1 🥹🩷
Two years since I posted the first ever fanfic that I actually completed! Two years since my blog blew up bc of this one fic! This fic which originally was only meant to be one part long!
And who knows, if you guys hadn’t been so appreciative and vocal about loving POYT, maybe I wouldn’t have continued it and been long gone! But instead, this blog has grown into a beautiful, crazy, horny community! I love that 🥹🥹
Thanks everyone! Two years went by so fast!

I don’t really believe in Astrology but just for fun I looked up the compatibility of my headcanoned signs for Aeryn and Gortash and the results are um. well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
if i had any doubts about them being those signs they’re out the window now.
(also credit where credit is due: Leo Gortash is @archduke-enver-gortash’s headcanon (number one gortash understander) but like. It Is Objectively Correct)
also i think Gortash is actually on the Leo/Virgo cusp personally- OH MY GOD.
JUST LIKE TRIXIE MATTEL….

Best of 2023 Music #22: Ryan Gosling “I’m Just Ken”
If anything can be said about the Barbie movie that’ll be further explored within 4 more entries this month, it’s that it goes beyond what we all felt it was going to do,
Case in point Ryan Gosling delving into Stereotypical Ken’s insecurities about losing what he had built up and how he really doesn’t want to be without his beloved Barbie.
Tumblr media
With this he ends up making us see beyond Ken as a stereotype and give so much to him.
Plus unexpected dance numbers just work.
SUM 22: Ryan Gosling proves he is more than Kenough with the first of his 2 major songs from the Barbie Movie.
