Is The Sims 3 more popular than ever?
OK, we all know the game has had its ups and downs, sure it may not run well on everyone's PCs and you would need mods to survive but lets face it, it is only the most advanced Sims game out there and...

Maybe people have started to appreciate S3 features more, now that they realise how wonderful they are, while they took them for granted all those years.
The latter I think. It's no secret Sims 3 is hated as much as loved. Not because it's a bad game, but because it's quite different from the prequel. Some hate the game for that because they feel there is only one way to produce this game (quirky and with animated cars in the driveway; those are often the ones with a strong opinion but you can't help noticing they never ever really played it) and to others S3 just is boring gameplay wise (and although I never felt any boredom myself in five years of intensive playing, I actually do understand that because of how the game was designed).

The Sims is such an outstanding series, in terms of sales, even if Sims 4 flopped, it would still sell far more than most successful games.
Also you have to look at how a series is selling. For instance, Sims 3 sold more BASE games than Sims 2 or the original Sims. But Sims 2, when you include expansion packs sold more than twice the Sims 3 plus it's expansion packs.
So it's hard to know what to make of that. In other words did people that bought the Sims 3 base game like it so much, they felt no need for expansions? Or did they hate it so much they gave up buying anything else?
