vspace doesn't work properly
I am using vspace{3mm} for separating the paragraphs in my article (documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article}).
But most of the time it doesn't work properly. Sometimes it just puts the first few words/sentence of the following paragraph at the end of the previous one.
I need something like this:
Hello world.
vspace{3mm}
How are you? I am good.
And sometimes I get this output:
Hello world. How are you?
I am good.
Do you know why? Or do you know another command that does the same?

Mary if you want vertical space between paragraphs then you should setparskipin the preamble, not addvspacebetween each paragraph.

You are right... just tied to give more options because thought for the moment that the OP would not like to have indented the following text... Also, I use noindent some times, but mostly inside some of my commands (of bold descriptions etc) and I don't think it is a mistake... Anyway... In your answer I would prefer thevspacein the end of the first sentence and not in the beggining of the second just because I can read it easier (+1 by the way)

[Unchecked] You can useHello world\[3mm] How are you. However, I suggest you not to do that.

You have
Hello world.
vspace{3mm}
How are you? I am good.
Which is a single paragraph, so the vspace is added after the current line, probably after good.
You could use
Hello world.
vspace{3mm}
How are you? I am good.
Bur you should almost never need explicit spacing within the document anyway.
