Sims 3 Mega Edition?

Hello, I've been wondering about it for years now, especially now, but I wonder if we will ever get a Sims 3 "Mega Edition" that includes everything that it can. I imagine it including everything from the store, all expansions, every stuff pack along with sliders to turn features on and off before launching. The Sims store doesn't work very well and is always laggy, the Sims 3 needs dozens of mods to barely work, and for the steam version you can't play it on a steam deck. It would be awesome to have a remastered Sims 3 with everything we need, along with working for newer systems and the steam deck. I feel it would get a lot more people into the game that can't or haven't before. The Sims 3 is one of my favourite games that I've spent a lot of money and hours on. Buying physical and digital items. I honestly wouldn't mind to have everything all in one place instead of jumping between my physical copies and my digital copies.  Many Pc's also don't come with a CD drive anymore, so it limits players in that way as well. The "Mega Edition" could also include graphical fixes for modern devices. It honestly makes the most sense to do for how old the Sims 3 is now. I think it deserves some love for being such an awesome game. It would also be cool if they included the world builder into the game since the version they have is hard to understand. It would probably be a bit of work, but I'd honestly be up to purchase a "Mega Edition" of the Sims 3 if it came to be.

  • Sorry to have no replies to this thread for so long. I would love to have a mega edition of the sims 3! They could use the base game, the EPs, and all the free add-ons they made over the years and build a stable Sims 3 that would work with new computer hardware - at least better than it does. Then they could make DLC of store content (in large batches like the compilations) and let the player decide what to add for a nominal fee - OR - they could let you add on your already purchased store content through your store account. It would work so much better! And new players wouldn't get so discouraged. I'm not a newbie and I get discouraged.  Hope they do this!

    A MEGA Pack would be good, even so I could add it for my wife to be able to keep playing, because we only have 1 full set, and a few pieces to a second set.

    The real problem is EA Games was never really about the players, and still isn't. EA Games always has and will continue to be all about the money, otherwise they would have put out a MEGA Set by now and lowered prices. But since The Sims 3 is still much more popular than the Sims 4 is, that may be a long ways down the road.

  • I would like to suggest that EA and Maxis consider creating a The Sims 3 Remake / Definitive Edition

    I don't mean simply re-releasing the original game. I mean rebuilding The Sims 3 on a modern 64-bit engine while preserving the features that made it so special 

    The goal would not be to replace a future new Sims game. Instead, it would be a way to preserve and modernize one of the most beloved games in the franchise.

    For many players, The Sims 3 still feels unique because of its open world and Create-a-Style system. A modern version could keep what made the original special while removing the technical limitations of a game released in 2009. Imagine being able to play The Sims 3 with its original gameplay and freedom, but on modern hardware without the old engine limitations

    I believe this could appeal to both longtime Sims 3 players and new players who never experienced it.I would genuinely love to see a project like this from Maxis.

    Players, would you buy The Sims 3 Definitive Edition if EA rebuilt it on a modern engine while keeping the open world and Create-a-Style?
