SH5 if i buy it will cost me $120 (collectors ed), about $90 US. we're not all lucky enough to live in the US where prices are lower.
I would pay more if the ultimate sim we want was developed. Im sure alot of people here would.

but is it enogh people to make this project profitable?
The publishers say that its not! otherwise we would be seeing these amazing sims.
Also you would need to find a publisher (and convincing them that this game would sell) to put the money up front.
Its alot of money and a long time of development with no return on the money!
