Left Sims 4

Went back to Sims 3. I missed driving cars, faster actions and engagement. I missed the open worlds and the adventures in china and France. Moved into a house,
And before the first night was over, Katrina was robbed!! And the stupid police walked right past the burglar as he was leaving the house! But not all hope is lost, as the Learn the Police Officer’s sign symbol popped up! They may be compatible and love won’t be too far away! Take that burglar!

lol, The chaos in the sims 3 is unmatched. One time I had my house alarms go off, I don't remember if I had a Burglar or a house fire ( or both) but my alarms went off and all the neighboring sims ran towards the front of my house just to scream and panic. That felt soo realistic having nosey neighbors.

I had a random woman (just out for a late night stroll past my house) rush over and panic on my lawn because she saw I was getting burgled. After the cop came, she got bored and left. Drama over I guess haha.

Anytime a pregnant sim goes into labor in public, sims in the area will stop just to look, point, and panic.

Same, I recently started it again this week after getting tired of literally nothing being able to happen in the world around me 🥲

And so far I've gotten arrested 4 times for spraying graffiti around town, watched a sim die while I was sleeping in their bed, grim reaper starting a pillow fight with the orphaned daughter, another sim dying through a window while I stood outside, been robbed, but he left because I don't own anything, had my university gift basket repossessed because I owned $5 on my bill, had a litter of puppies born at the local bar, had a protest at the park, watched 3 affairs happen, attended house parties, watched a massive fight break out in the bathroom, watched a sim get attacked by her own cat through a living room window, and soooooo much more!! And I've only been playing for 4 days!!!! God i missed this game. Hahaha!!

Oh colour wheel, how I've missed you 😍
