Yes, I just noticed that and their site is still up and running where as the others was archived some months after it run had ended. As far what can run Sims 3 has increased with the newer systems but inherently Sims 3 has not advanced or moved over to 64 Bit and may never do so. Sims 3 does offer more than what Sims 4 has to offer and sadly EA/Maxis tweaking anything they have is lacking and one of the reasons some did not care about Sims 3 and I am looking at Sims 4 it starting to suffer as well. Sims 4 will not be remembered for it's playability but for its controversy and what it did not have and in turn might affect Sims 5 if it does come out for many may not do what they did when Sims 4 came out and I called it Slims 4.

Perhaps. However, The Sims 4 started when more people than ever got on the Internet. People were using the Internet more and got on social media sites. Social media became a news outlet. YouTubers needed to make $$$, and you could do that with some kind of flashy and controversial title.

Compare this to 2000. People might have a personal computer at that time, but it was quite expensive to own one. Internet connection was dial-up, and it was slow. The Sims (original) was this new thing on the market, and it succeeded because of its novelty. While the Team was busy publishing Sims 1 packs, they were also making The Sims 2. Lazy Game Reviewer once mentioned in a video that The Sims 1 actually had a controversial expansion pack. This "expansion pack" was not made by Maxis, but by someone who gathered free custom content on the Internet, packaged them up into a CD and marketed it on the shelf to sell for profit. Custom content creators were upset by it, and according to LGR, some of them still are.

For me an pack that is made by an an dev for Sims 1 is not as controversial on how Sims 4 came to be for me. Sims 4 lost just about all features that was present in Sims 2 and 3. An engine from an cancelled project was allegedly used instead of making one from scratch. Most of the packs made appear to be gimped pointing to CL in which EA/Maxis attempt at letting me make Apts less creative. As I said in my post Sims 1 and Sims 2 was archived quite quickly but not the case for Sims 3 not that EA/Maxis going to rev Sims 3 back up but even with the complaints some players was having with Sims 3 and some of those problems can be attributed to EA/Maxis themselves as their track record on tweaking what they have is quite poor and in most my cases I found it was the program that was not optimized correctly as I had 7 complete systems at that time using various specs and got different results from them.

Basically what EA/Maxis done with Sims 4 was cater to the lowest denominator low-end systems as one can see the program does not scale up or scale down so having an 3080, 10900K 16 GB ram means almost nothing and the only place you might see an improvement is graphics while I like good graphics, I also like features that my systems can grab and take the program to the next level and sorry Sims 4 just does not do that for me and now the question Why am I still playing it and my answer is I do not invest in Sims 4 and I also do not play it but I do offer feedback. so as I posted in my last post controversy for me will be most remembered about Sim 4. :)
