Remastering of TS1, 2, and 3?

I am kinda worried that TS5 will kinda be a lot similar to TS4 which I don't really like that much compared to other games so yeah I'd love to see the remaster of 1 and 2, TS3 still holds up and is still supported by EA.

They have released statements about Sims 3. Not remastering it, but updating it to be truly 64 bit compatible. Anyone with an up to date Mac can't play it right now because it's not.

I still play Sims 2, but it takes a lot of fiddling with various files to make it work. And I can only play at all because I have a Windows partition set up. (I could play Sims 3 with the partition too, but I could only choose one of them and 2 won).

My ultimate wish would be for them to finish the packs for Mac (they only did a few) and update the game to run on current machines with no tweaking. But I'd settle for continuing to use a Windows partition if I could at least get the updates.

They need to fix the issue in sims 3 where the UI looks too small with tiny fonts if you play on some higher screen resolutiones. It is annoying because all the newer gaming laptops have such high screen resolutiones. I dont know if it is the same in sims 2, but i saw some people say it is. Yes, i am all for this idea if it makes it easier to play and adjust the games for newer laptops.

As already said, that would be pretty much putting the efforts that could be invested in a possible sequel elsewhere. Moreover, given the game's core concept is essentially the same throughout the series, that would be pretty much creating competition against TS4 and a possible 5 with another title that would look more on par, then.

If TS3 could allow for more RAM then they would never need to release a new Sims game ever again! :smiley:

@king_of_simcity7 Do you have the 4GB patch installed?.

I think any impact on Sims 4 or possible sequels would be minimal as far as sales competition goes.

I think most people who love the older games and still play them, are people who've played since they came out.
I loved 3 and I have played 4 for about a year now, but I never stopped playing Sims 2 (other than a brief period after I got a new computer and hadn't set things up again yet). So if anything, it's an opportunity to make money off the same people again.

Newer players who came to the franchise with Sims 4, aren't as likely to go back to the other games even with updates. If you just look at them, and haven't played them in depth, they probably seem inferior.

And as far as it pulling resources from Sims 4 or sequels, I don't think it would. It wouldn't make sense to pull people off current projects. They'd be more likely to put together another team, and probably a small one at that, just like they would for any new project.

Yes we need huge fixes in the sims 3 really especially the code I totally for @bees123 point of view and to be fully 64 bit compatible (and better toddlers and new activities).

I'd only want them to do things to make it run smoother on newer computers.

I love the current graphics of each game and changing them would destroy part of the game for me.

The CC out there for the games would not get updated and they were made the for the graphics as they are now. So I would not want to lose my CC or have to deal with it looking wildly out of place.

sims3 remastered in 64bit would be my dream game.

All...I want is for EA to allow us to go into these legacy games and be able to customize them the way we want to play them. Make it so that the memory issues are gone and we can tailor the environments and keep playing the games that we love. Make it so that Sims 2 players can play their game that they want on newer systems without having to jump through the hoops. And make it so that Sims 3 players stop getting these annoying Error 12 crashes due to RAM usage being capped at 4GB. Make it so that we can make actions ourselves and supplement our game as well as useable game objects.

You know as a Canadian, I'm ticked off that I don't have a hockey rink. EA Sports gave us with NHL Hockey... in 1994 and they can't be bothered to put a usable hockey rink into the Sims with the bare minimum "hockey" actions such as taking a shot at a net...and or stickhandling...etc. Do we have to go down to Sanderson and ask them if they can give you guys at Redwood a helping hand? You do know that half of Europe plays hockey? You could have put a hockey arena in Aurora Skies. What else do you think they do with all that snow.

~grumble...~ There'd better be hockey in Sims 5...
