User blog comment:SodaDog/When Will Sims 3 die down?/@comment-5699203-20140531003451

I wouldn't say that The Sims 2 is dead. Many people still play it because its gameplay is very popular. The Sims 3, less popular, will probably die down once mod developement starts for The Sims 4, but The Sims 2 will probably live a bit longer than that.
