Off course I don't expect EA to go back to the Sims 3, but I think the results of this poll might be interesting none the less. Pick whichever one comes to the closest to how you actually feel about this question.
Do any of you still wish that EA was still making new content for this game? 100 votes
Yes. I hate the Sims 4, and I wish EA kept making expansions / stuff packs / store content for the Sims 3 instead, because its a much better game
Yes. I'm a long time Sims 3 player, and there's just so much that they didn't add to this great game, that I just wished they would have added, and I don't like to use mods, or CC
Yes, I'm really disappointed that they never made X expansion pack, and I would love nothing more than for EA to come back to it for that reason.
No, the game would get too big, if they had kept on making new content for it for the past five years. It could use some improvement, but it wouldn't be practical for them to add any more.
No, the Sims 4 is a much better game, and I'm glad they're just focusing on that instead.
No, because this game has enough official content as it is, and it would be hard for EA to improve it, even if they wanted to.

So to fully answer the question, it depends. I wish some things could be added (birdhouses or birdbaths to attract birds, double strollers) but with mods and cc sometimes I like it how it is. Oh... and I wish a couple more holidays had been included. We have st Patrick's stuff but no real reason to use it. Same for Thanksgiving, what with feast parties.

Personally, I reaaaaaaaally dislike the Sims 3, so to take resources away from the Sims 4 and put them to a game that is now 10 years old is a joke to me.

I do miss the TS3 era sometimes. When the team was working on a game that I enjoyed it was fun to have something to look forward to and to be able to excited about the things coming out. Since I don’t play TS4, I no longer get excited about Sims news and that’s a bit sad. I’m still content with my TS3 game, though.
I wouldn´t mind some fixes and new content, I just don´t have any trust whatsoever in the competence of this company to do it in a way that actually works.

Just assume that every edit I make is because of typos.
My response wasn't one of the choices -
No Sims 3 is stable at 1.67 using mods that fix most of the problems. I don't need EA breaking what is currently working or adding any more glitches, problems.
I would like to see a re-write of Sims 3, as say Sims 5, with a better foundation on which to add EPs. But from what others are saying about Sims 4 I'm not sure if EA can deliver.
I don't want to pay for more ugly furniture, patterns, etc that come with the xpacks. I pretty much only play custom worlds, anyway.
I can't stand EA made worlds, the house in them are so boring.

This is my vote as well.
I read someone saying something about how everyone tries to make Sims 3 sound perfect so why mess with perfection and I had to laugh. We all know Sims 3 isn't perfect - but would love to see a Sims 3 remaster. Have no interest in Sims 4 and given the number of issues and bugs I've read about, doesn't seem like there's been an improvement in programming skills over at EA. Perhaps it's time for a new sims game made by someone else.
I've read a number of those comments too like people just love The Sims 3, think it's perfect, we're deeply rooted in nostalgia, we just want The Sims 3 2.0. Just, no. I encourage them, come to this section of the forums and see who will say absolutely nothing is wrong with this game at all. We love it, but we aren't blind to its faults. We can love it and be critical. It's the reason I wasn't too enthused to hop on The Sims 4 train and seeing how that game is going I trust them even less now to come back and fix things or add content.
I'd love officially improved worlds, more offical worlds, more themed content from different times and periods, cellphones to be optional, a better attraction system, improved building tools and buildings, more options and a lot of other things but by EA? No, I'm good.

Of course, there’s always room for improvement. And I admit there are a few more things I would’ve liked to have seen as far as TS3 content. Also, during development I had hoped for better optimization, improved stability, and actual bug fixes.
However, I don’t wish for these things now.
I run an all disk install on patch 1.67, with all EPs, SPs, Store content, plus CC and mods. Despite its limitations and flaws, the game runs well for me and I enjoy it. I will not willingly tie my game to Origin, so even if fixes were offered at this late date... hard pass. Quite frankly, I have no confidence in EA’s ability to improve anything.
You like Custom worlds? That's nice. I'm not really into CC, but I really like most of the custom worlds, I've downloaded. I even started making another one at about the same time I returned the Sims 3.
I love Sims 3, don't get me wrong. It's my favourite of the series. But I got most of what I wanted in content. And everytime they added new content something new seemed to break. I have my game running pretty well now and have for a while. I'm done playing fix what this pack/patch/whatever broke.
But there genuinely is just a lot of content for it and sure there's more they could have added. Like the game is somewhat geared to YA females. They could have added more in stuff for other ages and for males. I just had another example of something I found lacking and I've lost it already and it's bugging me, but anyway.
Overall I'm relatively happy with all Sims 3 came with. My main concerns are about stability and adding more content doesn't really solve the issue. Especially if half of it is broken anyway. And the game *is* a lot for peoples computers to handle as it is. There's probably a lot of people who couldn't really handle any more. If the game had much more I'd probably be one of them.
