The reason for discontinuing The Sims 3 is because it has to end eventually. Would you say the same thing for the reason why The Sims and The Sims 2 was "discontinued"? If TS3 game engine is so bad I don't think it would have 11 EP's, 9 SP's and The Store. Not to mention, even survive if the majority did not like and enjoy it. Afterall, TS3 did outsell TS2 in 7 days of its release. Because apparently many liked what they saw in the trailers, watching others play the game, word of mouth, improvements and advancements over TS2, etc.
Don't get me wrong, I love TS3. I own all EP, 8 EP and some 50 Store items. I am now able to play the game without crashes, as I bought a maximum high end Alienware gaming PC about 2 years ago. Previously, as a student I played on a fairly decent Dell PC, which was better than the PCs most teenage girls use. I could play a world for about 10 sim-weeks, then I had to transfer the family to a "fresh world" in addition to using multiple clean saves. In the Asian world the game always crashed due to bad routing.
EA/Maxis has always been keen to sell the game to the Kids (no adult stuff in game). However, precisely this target group would did experience crashes even with some of the EP installed.

The Sims Olympus became The Sims 4 meaning there was nothing being development for the main PC series, the way I see it, after TS3. TSOlympus was going to be an online multiplayer kind of game similar to TSOnline. The only good thing about TSOnline is that it was a standalone version and never interfered with main PC series. ...
That is interesting, I never really heard about the Sims Olympus. (I generally hate online gaming.) Somebody else mentioned that TS4 was meant to be an online game. I hope they will not make the same mistake when they are planning Sims 5.
