Legacy Sims Titles Being Ported

Hey everyone! I was just wondering if anybody else has had the burning desire to get some of the old Sims games on consoles ported to PC and other platforms. I know that this is random, but I've never heard this topic being discussed, and I kind of found that odd, considering past Sims games on consoles were total hits. Anyways, what are your thoughts on this guys?

    Yes, it would be great, but I don't know if EA is allowed to create emulators of Nintendo GameCube, Wii, Sony Playstation 2 and 3 and Microsoft XBox original and 360. I don't think that they can do that, as the games were specifically created to be played with a controller (and some even allow 2 players, meaning 2 controllers). It would be great if older sims games could be found as Virtual Console titles in Nintendo EShop and avalible in XBox and PlayStation eshops, but if ported over to the computer, the question is how it is going to play out if these are ported over to coputer.
    Don't get me wrong, it would be impressive to see the console titles ported over to PC.
  • Yeah, you make a good point @EgonVM, I just thought that it would be simpler to port the games to PC considering that EA produced them so there wouldn't be any need of contracts. Still, this likely won't happen, because I talked to EA support a while back and was told that all ideas regarding past Sims games had been completely sunset-ted. Just wanted to hear the thoughts of others on this topic.
  • Meh. I honestly wouldn't get them, if it actually ever happened. I had the games for the playstations. I played them once, it was ok fun but not really what I want out of sims. It was to limited, and scripted. Besides if I ever had the urge I still have the games and consoles.
