EA and Maxis don't read Steam forums. I suggest posting your request on one of EA's Discords or some other EA servers.

The Sims 3 can't run on Switch... It can barley run an a NASA PC

Agreed. Burned up two laptops playing sims 3.
Sims 4, however, is dumbed down big time.

They could reduce texture quality so it can run properly on the Nintendo Switch

They could reduce numerous settings to have it running on the Switch, it'd also be running at a lower resolution in handheld mode, so that'd help with performance.

The downside, is loading screens. You'll be going through a lot of them due to TS4's design and I imagine they'd be rather slow on the Switch due to the Micro SD.

That is not the problem. They would need to go back and fix all the broken code. This will likely never happen. As an example: one of the reasons why Sims 3 tended to heat up pcs is because they don’t even have a fps limit so the user needs to do that. Without user input the game runs on unlimited fps. It has his reason why Sims 3 needs so many mods to make it *stable* and *playable* for the long run.

The reality is, they won't port it and they sure as hell won't remaster it.

They'd rather people tap into and buy expansions from TS4, even if TS2 and TS3 are better games. Remasters would just pull people away from their never-ending monetisation treadmill.

love to see sims 2 complete collection on switch. Or any of the console versions ported
