I wasn't really expecting a serious (?) discussion to come of this. Was going to go as far as 2-bit, but then I probably would have been told to take my "two-bit advice" (as the expression goes), program, and gnomes and do something anatomically impossible with them. :D
On a more serious note, not entirely sure what good a tanning booth is going to be if there aren't any sims but okay. Whatever the customer wants. :p
I'm going to assume the sims will be replaced with freezer bunnies or llamas :D
Over here it is known as having your two pen'orth worth which means essentially we speak our minds. So I am inclined to think a 2 bit solution is no solution even if 32 bit is a huge number by comparison. I think I am right in saying most modern games are 64 bit so it seems only fair that any tempting upgrade of TS3 would have to reach modern standard. If we are looking at a 3.1 as a way of moving forward then we may as well start with a reasonable, attainable standard.
As for engines as you know the only thing I know about computers is how to switch them on. Off is more tricky. I am assuming that an engine overhaul is the equivalent of a sebring modified car engine. They go like stink, I know because I had one. Is such an overhaul a reasonable expectation though for the possible end result? I am thinking cost here which would ultimately be passed on the consumer and would I fear be a barrier to some leaving behind TS3. EA spent a lot of money I assume on the new engine for TS4 and they might not see it as financially viable to backtrack to a previous model to overhaul it.
Sorry that's a lot to throw at you at one go.
It is getting late here so I must sleep. Goodnight :)
