It may pick back up in time. If the latest news about S5 is any indication. Players are not wanting online Sims playing. I have a feeling that S3 will be having a spike in the future.
I agree with Bluzcat65. I used to believe for years that I was the only one, or at least one of the last small few who still played sims 3, till I came to these forums one day looking for glitch answers and I learned that there are still so many simmers out there who still play TS3. I still remember when sims 3 came out, I was texting a friend (this was back when I was still playing sims 2) and they mentioned sims 3. I asked them what TS3 was like and they answered "Say goodbye to your life." Lol I guess my point is, I think people actually enjoyed TS3 more than they realize. And in the future, people will revert back to TS3 again. In fact, I don't know how many times I've come across recent posts on here with people say "I just started playing sims 3 again. Here are the sims I made." Who knows, its probably happening, now.
Sometimes All You Need Is A Warm Hug From Your Bestfriend
Yes there's still so many ppl that play the sims 3 @OliviaAR if you look through the builders corner you will see so many creaters that have active show case threads if your looking for sims houses or you could also check out the orient express colabartion or you could check out my shell challenge thread or some of @oliv3's discussions are all good things to check for sims stuff plus you could always ask DNA for spicfic sims/houses
It's been months since I posted but I was thinking about this topic and came back to it.
It wasn't that I was saying that these magazines were dying because Sims 3 was unpopular. The point is that there isn't the level of creativity today as when these magazines were popular. Making these magazines required a lot of art, writing, imagination and layout skills, and I don't see as much of that today as I did years ago. Everyone just goes, "Well, let's just dump this all on Tumblr." Don't get me wrong--there's nothing wrong with Tumblr; it's just that there was a lot of TLC put into these Issuu Magazines that you don't see there. I was hoping to kick start something, but then I noticed that a lot of the magazines on Issuu have either disappeared or haven't been updated since TS4 came out, and there are very few new magazines being made so I am assuming that very few people are into either reading or making them, which is a crying shame IMO.
