#sims 3 expansion packs

I’ve come to the rather depressing realisation that realistically I’ll never get to play the sims the same as I did when I was a kid, I can’t afford the expansion packs I used to have and I never registered all my packs to my sims 3 account, all the registration codes that came with the games were thrown away years ago. I hate that I won’t be able to experience the same game that got me through my childhood, I hate that I can’t go to Paris with my sims anymore or have my sims live in Bridgeport. Like I can still play the base game and the few expansions I have but it’s not the same, it’s not the game that let me escape, it’s not the game that let little me live vicariously through my sims.
It might be stupid to be so upset about this but the sims 3 genuinely saved my life a few times, it was what I asked for every birthday, it was my safe space and I miss it so much.

do what you want forever and all but when you're writing an AU please remember to take into consideration the ramifications of what you're altering, like if mcr was never a band in this timeline, then you gotta adjust the accent your portuguese children characters are speaking to be portuguese portuguese instead of brazilian portuguese. if fob never went to any vmas then you need to come up with a different excuse for shakira to have been bitten by a monkey.
#yea i'm joking but the point is the random events they've been involved in are wild#and also sometimes the rammys of a no band au are deep and super interesting to consider (think of the musical landscape if no dcd)#sometimes they are 'there is no katy perry sweet treats sims 3 expansion pack in a universe without cupid's chokehold'#and the attention to inconsequential detail of the latter is funny

just thought i'd leave this here
thanks to this wonderful video, i learned how to get access to all of the sims 4 expansions totally legally. if you don't wanna go through all those steps, you might just be able to get them, too, if you follow this link...
instructions can be found in the video or in the tags. i will make my own video for my process in the future. when i do, i'll edit this post and link it here.
#soo it's a bit confusing but i'll try to explain it the best i can#download the ea dlc unlocker first#then download the one called DOWNLOAD THIS ONE#extract them both#you can take out any of the expansions you already have#in the ea dlc unlocker folder you need to scroll down and click on setup#at the top it should say “dlc unlocker not installed”#press 1 then enter to install the dlc unlocker#allow the application to make changes to your device#it should now say “dlc unlocker installed” at the top#press 2 then enter to select what game dlc you're installing#press 19 then enter to select the sims 4#it should now say “game config copied” at the top#press 3 then enter to make sure that the config copied properly#there should be two files#“config” and “g_The Sims 4”#if both files are there then you did everything right#you can now add all of the expansion packs to your sims 4 x86 program files (or wherever your files are on your device)#run the sims 4 like usual and all the expansions should be in your game#you will need to reinstall the ea dlc unlocker through the setup file every time the sims 4 is updated so don't delete that folder#i will add new expansions to the drive files as they come out#it might take up to a week for them to be uploaded because i get them from another site#plus i work and have a life outside the sims#so please don't rush me to get new packs uploaded the day they are released

V5 is nearing completion!!
Today, I am finishing up my list of the last mods I am planning on adding to V5! This is a momentous occasion! I began work on V5 in February or March of this year, and now as it is nearing completion, I am in awe of what I have created! The Washburn Edition is EVERYTHING I wish Sims 4 had been. With a stable game, expansive and immersive gameplay, and heavily improved graphics all running on my little Samsung Galaxy laptop!
I created my Washburn Edition Mods list out of my passion and frustration with the Sims 3, and my vision and hope of what this game could become. This game has gotten me through so many rough patches in my life, as I know it has for all of you. It has been and continues to be my privilege to bring this game into the present and support it into the future!
I still have a LOT of work ahead of me. A lot of testing and fine tuning, and eventually formatting the Mods List before release. Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to work on it, make a new YouTube Video, or even play the game. I have a lot of changes going on in my life right now -all positive!- and it hasn't left me with very much spare time for my passions.
Thank you as always for all of your support on this project!
I will keep you updated as often as I can!!

sims 3 vs sims 4 articles are so funny they're all like:
sims 3 has this super cool feature! but sims 4 runs better. sims 3 has this other different super cool feature! but sims 4 runs better. sims 3 has another other super cool feature!! but sims 4 runs better. which is better? wow that's a really hard question haha they're both good you know? because sims 3 has all these super cool features. but sims 4. sims 4 runs better.
#ts3#ts4#the sims 3#the sims 4#the sims#sims 4 should have been sims 3 but with the better stability and graphics i said what i said#ea you know what the sims 5 should now be? you guessed it! sims 3 but with better stability and graphics.#also i think they should have expansion packs that are based on different countries and time periods but that is a whole other ted talk#before anyone comes at me about create a sim i will grant you the body editing options and the body editing options ONLY.#what the fuck did they do to traits there's like 10#open world and cas are fucking magical and they just?? got rid??#cas literally one of the best sims features of all time just saying#i tried to build a house on my friend's sims 4 game and it was so difficult. it was SO DIFFICULT.#'build/buy is better in 4' no the fuck it isn't sit down#i didn't know this but i just read a think that said. they didn't put toddlers in the sims 4 base originally. THEY DIDN'T EVEN PUT TODDLERS.#this post post brought to you by me playing sims 3 again and actually looking to see if sims 4 is worth my time beyond it running better#(spoiler alert probably not lol)#games#mae posts

EA canceling The Sims 5 because they don't want "players to have to restart a decade’s worth of gameplay after ‘THE SIMS 4’" is like if Rockstar said they're canceling GTA 6 because they don't want players to restart 11 years worth of gameplay after GTA 5
#ts4#ts5#fuck ea#fuck the sims 4#im soooo heated about this#my initial plan was to pirate the entire sims 4 catalog of bullshit after the sims 5 released#because they wont remaster the sims 3 which is the peak. like all time best sims game fr fr#and the sims 4 is boring as fuck. buggy as shit. and just overall bad#the fact that they've taken the fun from the sims 3's live mode and stretched it thin across $1200+ worth of expansion packs is insanity#and so now this shits just never gonna end because they're making bank off of the cash cows pumping their money into this game#just to get the bare minimum#absolutely insane

📩 Simblr question of the day: What is a pack you love but the community dilikes or no one else appears to use/enjoy? @simblr-question-of-the-day
I haven't played the Sims 3 in ages but I remember many of the packs fondly. Curious to hear your answer to this question!
Hmm this is a tough one. For the most part, I agree with pretty much every opinion the community has around the least liked expansion pack (Showtime) but I don't really hear anyone saying much about the stuff packs. Fast Lane Stuff was, for the longest time, the only stuff pack I owned and that was because I just wanted more variety with cars. It's pretty mediocre as far as the stuff packs go as there's not much in it, yet I have a soft spot for it because it was the only one I had for so long. I bought it when it came out and then I didn't buy another stuff pack until like 2022 when I switched to Steam and bought the bundle. Plus, I really like that rockabilly-type dress and the little racing jumpsuit/romper that came with it. I don't feel like it was worth the price I paid for it back in the day but then again none of the stuff packs really were/are and I only own them now for completionist's sake. If you were to ask me what my favorite stuff pack is, I'd say that one just out of nostalgia.
#ask#answer#just simblr things#sims 3#this was actually a really tough question#i feel like i'm cheating by picking a stuff pack#but i tend to agree with the general consensus on the major expansion packs#so my opinions aren't really interesting

I don't understand how people can play Sims 4 and spend thousands of dollars on dlcs on it when gems such as sims 3 and Sims 2 exist and are "very easily downloaded from the internet" *cough cough*
Sims 3 gave me little dragons and vampires and fairies and unicorns what did sims 4 give to you, you so called "free thinker"???
#sims 4#sims 3#sims 2#ea if you see this love you boo#i love love loveee ea#ea you are the greatest company in the world#hail the new gods burn the old ones#yes i do want to buy an expansion pack that just adds a hamster that can give me syphilis

Best Sims expansion pack
That's always hard to answer!!
For Sims 1: for it's always been a tie between Superstar and Makin' Magic. Both were so fun and added tons of new objects, gameplay goals and interactions!
Sims 2: I usually say Open For Business, because this was a real game-changer (ha, literally) that finally made the neighborhoods so much more communal. Your Sims can start all types of businesses which gives it so much more of a real feeling than game-generated NPCs. Although I will say Apartment Life is my 2nd Place choice.
Sims 3:...honestly, I can't really think of a "best" one. I don't have all of the EPs, but I feel like that game benefits from the amalgamation of many EPs working together. I got in Sims 3 a bit later than when it first came out and got a bunch of EPs all at once, so I'm not sure how the Base Game felt and how the EPs added to that too much. Maybe Ambitions is the best to me? I do like having more control over my Sims' jobs and all that.
Sims 4:.... I've never played it! I've heard it's a but of a hot mess of EPs and stuff packs that each don't offer too much on their own (typical DLC/transactional modern gaming these days...sigh). Anyone out there who's played TS4, what do you think was the best EP?
#i tremble to think what Sims 5 EPs will be like#“new EP with 3 new clothes and 5 objects! additional useful content $10 per item” lol#but tbh might be kinda true#sigh#the sims#expansion packs#ask weird sims

workin on a little gift for the holidays for y'all bc i'm so damn slow with the affair au (which i've weirdly started writing backwards? it's funny how that helps sometimes, but it's helped a lot)
it's not gonna be super polished and spit-shined like i usually try for, but it's something i was hoping to get around to every year, if that doesn't spoil the surprise lol
#it'll def be shorter than usual but then again#every time i say that it's never fucking short so i dont even know why im trying to speak that into existence#it's like i literally cannot shut up even when writing amazing it's a real talent that i have#plus im also trying to finish my hawkeye cracked video so i at least pushed one out this year#LMAO#goddamn well hopefully now that i'm moved out#i can save up for a beefy PC with better processing power for editing#and better storage#bc lemme tell ya an ipad is not great#and i need my mac memory for..... ok fine the sims dont judge me please i have an addiction#which is impressive of me to maintain bc whenever i buy an expansion pack#fucking TD locks my card and i have to call to confirm the purchase#do you have any idea#how humiliating that has been#literally for over a decade#even with the sims 3#they just. constantly have done that#and i have constantly had to admit that yes#yes i am doing that. yes again. yes it's that much. yeah but this time it has cute hair cuts i like.#or yeah it's tiny home living . how do i explain that like a normal person. i talked w an agent abt the chickens for five minutes.

I feel like 90% of my sims would be so much easier to be attached to if I could make my own cc for them. Instead of cc shopping all day for one specific thing that makes or breaks a character
#save me from this hell#also sims 4 landlord expansion leak#what happened to them ‘refreshing packs’#can we get more occults for like children. so it’s worthwhile to make occult families and actually care about the children sims#i miss sims 3 where the werewolf toddlers could scratch the ground and howl :(#it was so cute#i’ll say it again but my ideal sims game is the build mode and cas of 4 and the gameplay of 3#i would like 4 like 150% more if the neighborhoods had more things to do#and were open aka i didn’t have to abandon my other 3 sims so my vampire can hang out at the neighbors house#anyway hiiiiii it’s my daily video game complaint™️ i should have just played more cattails

i wasn't joking btw
#🔪.text#mik is fighting for his life over here#and yeah. yeah he only has 118 gb.#i know a good part of the reason he is STRUGGLING is because i have the sims 3 with all but ONE expansion pack installed onto him#and the only reason i am missing one is because i uninstalled it since i pretty much never used it (sorry into the future)#but that's probably like 50 gigs right there tbh LMAO#can't be bothered to actually check but i KNOW it's gotta be a lot#i also have spore installed#AND minecraft#i have far too many games installed on this small boy#but it's fine. it's fine.#when i go to replace his ssd i'm gonna be getting him one with bigger storage <3
