Do any of you still wish that EA was still making new content for this game?

Sims 3 creators (cc, worlds, mods, etc.) have done a great job...I'll stick with them.
I don't want to pay for more ugly furniture, patterns, etc that come with the xpacks. I pretty much only play custom worlds, anyway.

You like Custom worlds? That's nice. I'm not really into CC, but I really like most of the custom worlds, I've downloaded. I even started making another one at about the same time I returned the Sims 3.

No. But it's more like if it ain't broke don't fix it. And if it is broke maybe don't touch it if you're the one who broke it in the first place and you can't fix it.

I love Sims 3, don't get me wrong. It's my favourite of the series. But I got most of what I wanted in content. And everytime they added new content something new seemed to break. I have my game running pretty well now and have for a while. I'm done playing fix what this pack/patch/whatever broke.

But there genuinely is just a lot of content for it and sure there's more they could have added. Like the game is somewhat geared to YA females. They could have added more in stuff for other ages and for males. I just had another example of something I found lacking and I've lost it already and it's bugging me, but anyway.

Overall I'm relatively happy with all Sims 3 came with. My main concerns are about stability and adding more content doesn't really solve the issue. Especially if half of it is broken anyway. And the game *is* a lot for peoples computers to handle as it is. There's probably a lot of people who couldn't really handle any more. If the game had much more I'd probably be one of them.

When I first found Sims 3 and then this forum there was a petition thread asking everyone to sign asking for more Sims 3 content. I happily signed. Then came 1.69 and a 2 year nightmare of trying to figure out a way around it (okay that wasn't all due to 1.69, some of it was due to a faulty laptop). But now I understand all the 'naysayers' in that thread who were like, no way. Leave my game alone.

The things I would want to add are not as important as having a stable game and being able to continue to play on 1.67.

I want stability fixes and 64bit. I don't think new content at this point is a good idea when many ppl are struggling to run it smoothly. TS3 is a spectacular game, all it needs is a solid leg to stand on.

My response wasn't one of the choices -

No Sims 3 is stable at 1.67 using mods that fix most of the problems. I don't need EA breaking what is currently working or adding any more glitches, problems.

I would like to see a re-write of Sims 3, as say Sims 5, with a better foundation on which to add EPs. But from what others are saying about Sims 4 I'm not sure if EA can deliver.

^That.

Lets hope we get more stuff for TS3 when it is remade for TS5 :wink:

Well, you should probably checkout Paralives than, since there may not even be a Sims 5 at this point, and if there is, its more likely to be like the Sims 4 than the Sims 3.

I know but Yes, there was stuff I was waiting to return and upgraded for TS3. I know, I know - updates. I still wish it can be brought into the 64 bit realm. :tongue:

I didn't vote - but - I found a lot of the content that I purchased for the game was broken or broke something that wasn't previously broken. That would have been bearable if it had been fixed. But it wasn't.

If all the existing broken content had been fixed then yes, I would love more for the Sims 3. It's the only Sims game I play now having given up on Sims 4 after the base game being so boring, and the fact that I didn't want to go through the thing of buying more broken and never to be fixed add ons for yet another game.

My game runs and it does want I want.

I push it as far as I can and often try too hard and it breaks temporarily but since those issues are my doing I find a work around.

If I want new content I look to custom content. I never had that before Sims 4 was released. In other words, once they stopped releasing new items for Sims 3 I went looking for CC. With mods and CC I can still add new things to my game whenever I want to and the mods even fix some of the things that broke and never got fixed officially.

By the time the final venue was released for Sims 3 I had already purchased everything available from the Store and had all of the expansion and stuff packs so from that time on I could only look to CC and mods to add extras to my game.

If, however, a 64 bit game was released that was a 'fixed' version of Sims 3 with additional game play added I would probably go back to buying it all again. I'd soon stop though if it turned out to be more of the same old broken content that never gets properly fixed.

I would love performance improvements and bug fixes. But new, complete expansions? No!

The game has a lot of content and I must own around half of it. I still have a lot to try. I actually only had the base game for a long time and only started buying expansions when EA had already abandoned the game. I like the idea of being able to own everything at some point if I want, but when stuff keeps being released nonstop it becomes a giant money (and time) barrier and bugs snowball because they never stop to fix and, well, I’m ok with Sims 3 finished.

No, because I want EA to keep its hands off my game now. Anything they add would mess it up the way they've totally borked TS4. There's so much third-party content that I don't need EA to meddle with TS3.

I really hope the next good human simulation game is from a different company. EA has dropped the ball and needs serious competition.
