The only thing I don't like about 3 is the poor performance caused by one of the best features in the series (being totally open world and not segmented by "levels/instances.") Plus the whole texture editing thing so you could make everything from your clothes to the couch match. I can see why they might cut down on the openness, but removing the texture thing in 4 was wack af.
Honestly the Sims 3 was ahead of it's time and flew just slightly too close to the sun. I think whenever the Sims 3 is remade, whether as an official rerelease with 64 bit hardware support or as a fan made recreation, it'll truly be a killer game now that we have the hardware to properly run everything it was trying to simulate at once. I think The Sims 4 did a good job trying to optimize what The Sims 3 did with it's rabbit holes, but honestly they didn't spend enough time on the core gameplay and leaned too heavily on reusing the same mechanics over and over again so it just feels cheap by comparison.
Alternatively if 3 launched just a few years later with better multi threading and 64 bit support (so able to address more than 4GB of memory) it would probably be way more of a killer to this day. That and if they patched the bugs with Bon Voyage that completely made it's neighborhood unplayable with pathing errors causing constant freezing among other problems
Isn't there a Sims like game that's called something like Omni or something? I'm sure that has texture editing.
Inozi I think. Tried it but couldn't kill my dude once I got bored. I don't think dying was in the game when I tried. Going to let that one cook for a while before trying again.
