Sorry if there's a thread already talking about this. (which is very likely) The threads here are filled with the common threads and i am not gonna sacrifice my patience and hands to search through a whopping 100+ pages so if there's a thread that talks about this already Tell me and i will take down this one

Anyway, the most unexpected things that's happen this year 2025, is a very minor update of the Sims 3, and mind you that EA has never cared about Sims 3 because they're deep invested in Sims 4-land. While this update is not present in the official Sims 3 site i think, even the most minor update in Sims 3 has lead people talking about it, and EVEN believing that Sims 3 will be remastered which is unlikely, and if they do, they will ruin the game with greediness, a gazillion of DLCs, cartoonish Sims (Sims 3 sims were intended to be realistic), bugs, and besides... they will probably remove the iconic memorable features and the remaster will not have the chaotic and awesome feel the Sims 3 had

Speaking about a Sims 3 remaster, because MySims was remastered for the Nintendo in Late 2024, this increases the likelihood of a Sims 3 remaster, or any older Sims Games.

What do you think? Do you also believe Sims 3 will be remastered (or any other sims game)?

Personally I believe we'll get a remastered 3 when we get an agreement with EA for GOG to release a remastered 1.

Which is to say never.

I mean, EA admitted they scrapped 5 in favor of cranking out more DLC for 4 and will make future games based on 4 so they can share the same marketplace. They might once in a while release some tiny update like this to keep 3 from falling into abandonedware but EA won't do anything major because it might cut into that sweet, sweet DLC profit.

And from a business viewpoint, I get it. EA has to do whatever will make the most profit and their model with 4 seems to be working for them (I mean, they were able to hack the Pets equivalent up into two stuff pack equivalents and Supernatural sans fairies into three). I don't see them pulling the resources away from their cash cow.

Only reason EA might consider an update is if Windows dropped their 32 bit systems the way MAC did, and even then, it would be open to similar EA App garbage, and remaking everything into DLC. And then, no mods or CC would work (probably), and most modders either won't bother, are aren't around to update things.
