No, if it hasn't dawned on them by now (TS4 is Five in two months) after all the threads about it then there isn't any hope at all. Why would they do that when in a few weeks they will be ending support for the low end machines and they won't be able to get any new packs and possibly they won't be able to get patches, or new content, either.
I mean how can they patch a 32bit game with things that will be affecting new packs in bug patches etc.? How are they going to separate all that? So, no, they have no intentions of changing the core of the Sim at this late in the game's life span. Five years of ignoring the major complaints of this game proves they have never even thought about it or possibly don't even understand the backlash at all.
