I've had some time on my hands as of lately, so I've been rebuilding houses from The Sims 3 in The Sims 4 and sharing them on the gallery.

Here is an example:





You can find them on the gallery by searching my name, BiscoMix07. You can also search the tags #sims3 or #thesims3.

All of Water Lily Lane houses are built and on the gallery (the starter homes) except for 1. Are there any houses from The Sims 3 you would really like to see on the gallery?

Nice! I'll check them out! Not sure which houses I'd like to see, it's just nice to have some different types. I did like the Goths house.

Very nice! Whatever people say there is an upgrade in graphics. Especially the trees look so much nicer :-)

I can hardly remember any of the SIms 3 houses, but the Wolff's house looked nice and would work nicely in Oasis Springs. Of course it might be a bit difficult to rebuild

wow, i'm really impressed with the graphic quality on TS3.

Wow, I'll say. Seeing the two houses side-by-side makes TS4's world look even more like Sims1-meets-Facebook, especially when contrasted with the lovely differences in terrain levels in the yard of that TS3 house. The only step up I can see is a literal one, and that's the curb, which makes the street view look better than TS2 or 3.

Great idea BiscoMix. Keep going!

They look nice.
I've done the same with two of the houses which I loved in Sims 2. Both are uploaded on the gallery as well. Same username as on here

Thanks, AngelFrouk! I'll look for those, too.

Looking at them both, I couldn't be able to tell the difference, TS3 landscaping graphics with amazing at the time, unless I don't see a sim in screenshot, I couldn't never tell the difference if I'm looking at a TS3 or TS4 house.

Just gotta look for those damn purple trees.

It's really interesting to see these comparison shots, you did a great job of recreating those houses!
Those sims 3 birch trees look really lovely, and the textures seem generally more detailed, whereas sims 4 looks more heavily optimised.

I've re-created the "Unabridged" house from Sunset Valley as it is very close to my heart and has been used more than any other lot in Sims 3. I did add an upstairs loft although the rest of the house is a pretty exact copy. You can't overhang pools in Sims 4 so the "bridge" effect can't be done unfortunately. And the big carpark area at the front is a bit redundant in Sims 4 Also had to put it on a 30x40 lot instead of 40x40.

It is my first ever upload so I hope anyone who would like this in their Sims 4 game finds it useful and I hope I haven't trodden on anyone's toes by making this!

Just search for my name or use #sunsetvalley.









n.b. For the person who can't tell Sims 3 and 4 apart... the Sims 3 versions are shown first!

Will do, but I don't know if I'll do every single house. I'm also going to do some houses from EPs as well.



Thank you. I'll check them out.



Thank you.

When re-creating these houses, I have both games running at the same time and they have heir own monitor (dual-monitor setup). I've noticed that The Sims 3 has higher quality/detailed textures, where the Sims 4 takes more advantage of bump maps (so they don't look flat).



I would have to agree with this, although The Sims 4 art style is growing on me.



Looks great! I hope more people share their recreations in this topic.

Moving to TS4 Pictures.
