Again still in the realm of the theoretical, I think once we start talking about more realistic sims (this means behavior, or possibly just appearance or both?), and adding building tools, we might not be talking about TS3.1 anymore but a different game. Or maybe I am reading too much into this question.
EA of course has the ability to add whatever they can to the existing game but that would require reassembling the TS3 development team or at least putting a new team together who has the ability and is given the time to dissect everything that had been done by the original and the various teams who worked on the EPs. That we haven't seen one single in-game change since Patch 1.66 suggests that none of this might be realistic no matter how feasible it is. But from what I understand other game companies have done this, someone was here recently praising a game they loved to play that returned after ten years with a new patch suddenly.
I believe there is a market out there (I mean out here) for this theoretical TS3.1 or some other iteration that follows in the footsteps of TS3 and continues the wonderful things that it started. And when I get to run EA for myself, I will make that known to everyone else there but am afraid in the meantime they probably aren't going to listen. :/
I think people would have to be very explicht about what they meant by realistic sims. Personally I want avatars which are more human so better skin textures, beards and hair textures. I am relatively happy with the behaviours. Others I know from previous threads would be utterly creeper out by a more realistic sim.
As ever I appreciate what you are saying. The ultimate decision on the future if TS3 including upgrades, ultimate collections rests exclusively with EA. As long as we don't foster false hope I think it interesting to explore what might or might not encourage us to move on. I am enjoying what I have at the moment but as an adult I accept that all good things have to end sometime. Here I suspect most of us will work hard to delay that inevitable day and I see you as being an integral part of the delaying process. To find us ways of keeping our TS3 compatible computers working. I don't feel you're being CEO fits with this role. Have you also considered you will have to leave sim bowling allies and coffee machines behind? The real ones are not so exciting and you will not have time to play the game :'(
