The Mass Effect franchise got a remaster. Those games were released in 2007, 2010, and 2012. Most of the improvements in the remaster were focused on ME1, unsurprisingly, as the improvements were significant from 2007 to 2010.
It's also worth noting that the most recent game from Bioware, the studio that developed the ME series, is considered a failure to a large extent. Anthem was released in February 2019, it didn't do as well as hoped, and the ME remaster was announced almost exactly two years later, a couple of weeks before Anthem was officially "cancelled." Bioware is apparently also working on a new ME game, but that won't be out for a while yet. So the remaster may well have been an attempt to maintain interest in the franchise and the studio and bridge the gap to the next ME game. After all, it's cheaper to remaster an existing game than to create a new one from scratch, and in the interim you have a product to sell.
So I guess what I'm saying is, if EA needs to fill in a gap where there's no new Sims game available, or at least not one that's selling well enough, maybe we get a Sims 3 remaster? But I'm not counting on it any time soon.
