User blog comment:SodaDog/When Will Sims 3 die down?/@comment-4568327-20140531003200

Judging by how the development for The Sims 4 is going, it seems like The Sims 3 will keep going for a long, long time.

Of course, while I can say most of the excitement for The Sims 1 has faded (though there are still a few people that are pressing on), The Sims 2 is still far from dead. ModTheSims is still active, both in The Sims 3 and The Sims 2 sections, as well as the forums there. The Sims 2 forever!
