This silent treatment is the worst
Hello So this silence and no communication from Maxis is pissing me off. I watched Deligracys Video about the survey that came in January and at the end she made a really good point about making ...

Hello Lukas. I do have TS2 and TS3 on my computer. And I've been putting in the "effort" as you suggest ever since I first started modding games. Mods and game fixes are one of several reasons I can enjoy TS4. Thanks for your suggestion though.
Technology is always changing. No matter how much "effort" a person puts in to make TS2 and TS3 playable (a feat not so difficult in my own experience), there will always be limitations (and no new official content) with those games (graphics quality for me is a big one). So, the sole option of going back to earlier Sims games, however practical, only goes so far (at least for this simmer).
Above all that, the main point of my post was how I'd prefer to see fundamental changes to EA's business/development/quality assurance practices regarding the Sims franchise itself. To me, those core foundational principles need to exist before any game has a chance to be truly successful. In this way, I was primarily speaking to EA's "silence" as mentioned in the first post. Personally, I prefer CD Projekt Red's business/development/quality assurance model. I don't mention this to put EA down; I just want EA to improve -- to get things right.
And as a last note, this is just my opinion of EA's business practices. I'm basing this opinion on my personal experience with EA over the past 14 years. I've also been well-acquainted with Bethesda (dedicated TES/FO player here as well). So I have some measure of comparison (good and bad). And, finally, I see what other companies are doing -- from startups to tried and true businesses that prove their worth to the consumer long before their games ever go on sale.

No, there is the sims 1, the sims 2, and the sims 3. All you got to do is put your own effort is doing a little setting up for those games to run perfectly on a machine and you're good to go.
