@Cinebar I think it is to cater to a wide range of players as much as possible. TS2 and TS3 for console both feel like separate games from the PC versions, while TS4 for console is rather seamless from the PC version. TS4 for console has the best graphics too, because it looks identical to the PC version, while TS2 for console looks really blocky and hasn't aged well at all. TS3 for console looks better, but you can still tell that it's the console version. TS4 for console and PC look pretty much the same. For players with gaming consoles and budget computers, TS4 is actually the best option. They are paying more for the gaming experience, less on the hardware. However, for people with better computers and dedicated graphics cards, TS3 is actually the budget-friendly option, as they are paying more for hardware so they can afford to pay less for the gaming experience.
And there is The Sims 2. The Sims 2 on disc is not compatible on modern PCs, but The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection has been made compatible as it is a straightforward download-and-install. It also runs great on modern machines. But of course, as it is the older game with a closed world, it is much easier to run than The Sims 3. TS3's open world and Story Progression are pretty demanding on the PC, even though they do make the world come alive. The minimum and recommended requirements for TS2 are lower than TS3's, maybe even comparable to TS4; and by keeping The Sims 2 UC up there on Origin would mean competition for The Sims 4.
