Never thought of that. I guess it was probably my insistence on how to use the edit thing in the game. I was either hyperfocusing on only a household with no change, or jumping wildly from household to household in the whole town. No in between :blob_sweat:
Well, staying focused on your game to the point of actively playing with a dozen different households is no easy feat

I play the sims 4, but even in the 3 I had the technique to prevent them from moving out, it was to turn every maried couple into a playable household. So, for example, the son maries someone and goes out of the family. I would play with that new couple, making sure they have children and building a nice house. Then I would go back to the parents to go and marry off the daughter, and play with her for a while. Once all the kids of the first parents are married, setteled and with kids, I play again with the first son, making his children grow up and marry them off, playing a little bit until they all have a house and family. Then I would go back to the first daughter's house, do the same, etc...

Since each household had changed into a playable one, they can't make them move out
I'm surprised you prefer 4 over 3. I remember when 4 came out, everyone was upset that they removed the open world and divided the city into sections again.

Sims 4 is live service trash that was barebones when it released, and nowadays EA is cashing out on yet another DLC upon DLC, that is sure, a content, but that doesn't worth money they're charging for it. Sims 3 is too finished for EA, and so they conveniently forgot about it, not adding proper win10 support lol

I started using 4 because of the more customizable options. You see, I often use the sims to help with the backgrounds of my comics. If the room is not always the same, if the window is not exactly in the same place or if the cabinet doesn't have the same size in every page, it can ruin the immersion. So I would create houses in the sims and take screenshots of different angles, drawing over it to personnalize the furniture into the vibe I wanted.

But you couldn't zoom as much in the sims 3, and the choice of furniture was limited. So I switched to the sims 4 and it helped a lot.

Anyways, while playing with the design part, I ended up playing it and I liked to learning curve of kids, that didn't appear as much in the sims 3, so I stucked to the 4
