Do you think Origin will ever offer a Sims 3 Ultimate Edition

I'd take it. It would be even better if they made the game 64 bit.

It would be awesome, but my computer can barely handle the EPs I have installed with no SPs. I had to unintall pets recently because it was bugging up my game, I have everything except ITF and IP. I'd love to add those, but I'm heading back to college in the fall and need to keep my computer in good working order for my schoolwork (as well as keep distractions to a minimum!). My head also hurts thinking about the Sims 5, I'll probably be married with kidlets at that point D: I really want to see certain aspects of TS4 fixed though, before I get ahead of myself.

Probably not, they're money hungry.

This topic started in June 2015, when the fame of Sims 3 apparently was slowly decreasing. We're three quarters of a year later and so far I don't see that happening. I do 't know, as long as EA can make money with Sims 3 they will. Sims 2 UC was given to us when Sims 4 was released, I don't think there's a reason to believe it will be different for Sims 3.

I have to wonder if one of the reasons they released TS2 UC was due to technical support reasons - it still has a large player base but if everyone is using the same version of the game that makes tech support a whole lot easier. Of course there is no reason they have to keep supporting the game at all since it's no longer being sold.

Another reason I think they did it was that they were hoping that people would get used to loading screens and lot-focused play, since that's what they put into TS4. Especially all the people who never played TS2 before and only had experience with TS3.

I guess what I'm saying is that they will never release any kind of similar TS3 version unless they have an ulterior motive. :D

Right. I didn't even get the bulk of the store content I have until last fall and I still occasionally run into something I want so set about clicking ads until I have the points for it.

As for the topic at hand, I noticed a while back this thread is old as the hills but seeings as it's here again I can't say this is something I'd be interested in since I avoid Origin and if I want more than I currently have of TS3 I'll buy it on disc.

I dont think they will. One the sims 3 game is huge 30gb or so . Sims 2 UC is only about 12gb total. Not everyone's computer can handle the sims 3 and all eps. EA just added the new patch so that people could pick and choose which eps to play if their computer can't handle all eps at once. Plus the game is still selling well so they are going to want to charge for each ep separately.

They are coming out with all new gaming hardware this year. Have no idea if it will be compatible with the sims 3 and older sims games. We are all heading for 4k resolution. The older sims games were not designed to play at such high resolutions. I have seen people try to run the sims 4 on 4k and the game was also not designed for that resolution. It looks awful IMO. I would not want to play the sims 3 or 2 in 4k.

That would be awesome but my laptop would explode if I tried to install it

I would love to have The Sims 3 Ultimate Collection but I doubt my computer will handle running all the expansion packs lol.

It would be a big large file to download from origin
