I'm still on the Sims 3 because you can get it origin free still, but I feel like the Sims treadmill is just buying mostly the same game over and over. There's a lot of franchises like that, but I feel like it's a lot harder for a game like the Sims with the demographics it serves to keep creating reasons to upgrade.
Sims 3 is better than sims 4 but sims 4 runs better on shittier hardware. Sims 4 doesn't have an open world to the degree sims 3 does so it doesn't have to process every sim walking around in the entire world and their unoptimized pathfinding at all times.
Perhaps now in the age of higher single core cpu clock speeds, maybe it's not as bad.
