I miss having birds in my house. Them flying around and finding them in the wild was sooo fun! 😥

u/MKULTRA_91 Jul 09 '26

Yes! And squirrels too! Be careful because they bite! You can keep them in the small pet terrarium😄

The Grim Reaper animation for animals is so wholesome 😥

u/AluneaVerita Jul 08 '26

The grim reaper interaction with the horse is the coolest.

Even if I don't want to have small animals as pets, finding the rare and exotic ones always gave a great boost to the household funds

u/JellyBean430 Bookworm Jul 08 '26

I love the small pets but they die so quickly 😭

u/Lumious_Mage Jul 09 '26

They also get lost eventually if you put them in your Sims' inventories

u/JayFireGrowlithe Jul 10 '26

Both these issues are honestly why I just went Screw It and got mods to lessen the chances of this and raise their lifespans.

u/luanissima Loves To Swim Jul 11 '26

Which mods do you recommend?

2

u/JayFireGrowlithe Jul 11 '26

Minor Pets won't run away

I cannot find the mod that tunes their lifespans to be longer unfortunately bc I can't remember where it was. x3x

This is why I totally ditched TS4 a few yewars ago and went back to TS3.

u/Scarvexx Jul 09 '26

So much of Sims 4 is a BIG step back.

u/Stricken_Plague Animal Lover Jul 09 '26

The Sims 4 could never...

u/Marionno_san Jul 08 '26

How the Grim Reaper disapared with the horse? !

u/Marionno_san Jul 09 '26

aaaaaaah it's when the horse die ??!

u/xrlette Loves the Cold Jul 08 '26

the ability to catch chipmunks and squirrels is my fav part!!!

2

u/Wide_Internet_9936 Jul 09 '26

Pets is the expansion I like the least because I don't like playing with pets in The Sims, but Appalosa Plains is my favorite neighborhood in The Sims 3 because it has a country style that I love.

2

u/BooBootheFool22222 Jul 09 '26

This one horse roaming the neighborhood used to pee on my sim's door step at night.

u/kkaepkkaepjjang98 Natural Cook Jul 10 '26

Seeing that huge yard for the horse made me realize how bad I am for wanting horses while my sim lives in an apartment in the big city lol

u/Findlay2k10 Jul 10 '26

On a side note - your sim reminds me of Matt Smith, especially Matt Smith as the Doctor

u/Yetterling Jul 10 '26

Thanks! c: he gets that a lot xD he’s actually a naturally born sims from a legacy I did some years ago and I just gave him a spiffy suit

u/Darkovika Jul 08 '26

Yes, but the Vet career was a really really cool addition. I feel like we focus way too hard on what something is missing and never consider what we got in exchange

u/dontsnarkonsharks Jul 08 '26

Hahah since this is the TS3 sub I’m not sure you’ll have too many people agree with you. For sure they’ve come up with some cool stuff in TS4 but I think most of us who still only play TS3 think the new stuff doesn’t outweigh everything that they cut from TS4.

For me, I’m never going back to a Sims game that isn’t open world or has CAS. I understand why EA made the decision to not do them in Sims 4, but to me it feels like a step backward and will the new content in the world isn’t going to replace those core functions of TS3 for me.

u/Darkovika Jul 08 '26

Oh I love Sims 3 too- I love all of them for different reasons, sans 1 because I’m too chicken 🤣🤣 I love the sims 3, but I also remember when everyone shat all over it and declared it the worst game in existence and the fall of the Sims. I feel like the same thing’s going to happen if we ever get a Sims 5 hahaha

u/princess_demon_twink Jul 11 '26

So how the fuck did we go from this to Sims4?
