Sims 3 player numbers
I'd be really curious to know the player numbers for the Sims 3, because I suspect is larger then anybody suspects. For example, I've noticed on Steam the Sims 3 maintains a constant average betwee...

I do wish it was reflected in TS3 custom content creation though, lol. That community is d e a d and TSRW just gets worse and worse to work with.
The Sims 3 def. doesn't have the community for new content the Sims 4 has now, especially for modders (whats really been done is done in most respects) but for CC (like hair and outfits, skins) there is a very small and incredibly talented pool of creators mostly found on tumblr and a few other sites (not tsrw) that are making incredibly detailed custom content mostly like clothes and bringing items from other games into the Sims 3. The creator community is def. not dead, just much smaller but I'd argue more talented then ever.
On the other hand, honestly a shrinking community isn't a bad thing either. I can't tell you how much CC I have downloaded between the Sims 3 and 4, take hair for example. I probably have over 300 hairs if not more - of which I still find myself using something between the same 4 or 8 hair styles. So a lot of CC just isn't used.
Now the Sims 2 CC community is truly dead though lol.
No, it's not. :cookie:

I'm not gonna argue this point into the ground and will drop the subject if needed but getting TS3 to run well can take extra money and technical knowledge that a lot of simmers downright don't have. It's easy to think it's worth it when you have a rabid passion for TS3 but passion's always been in the minority...welcome to a casual franchise. I'm just going with responses I've gotten in several communities. Of course I've known ragequitting TS4 players as well or those who otherwise stopped playing, but very few I've known go back to TS3 either. If you can't run TS4 then it's a bad sign (if not guaranteed) for being able to run a more intensive/finicky/poorly optimized game like TS3.
To add, I haven't been able to buy a new computer, nor components, for over 5 years and TS3 runs fine. Even CAW loves my old computer.
Really, if you want to play a PC game longer than 5 minutes a day, you (3rd person) have to learn some computer tech knowledge. TS2/3 has taught me a lot about computers.
I don't ragequit, I ragepout and then I learn- if I really want it. :)
