Maxis /does/ still exist, though not as an actual stand-alone Team. Apparently, though, they still have a location in EA studios entitled "Maxis." For instance, Maxis created the Spore games, with Will Wright as head designer. Will W. left EA to work on solo projects in 2009, "Stupid Fun Club" and then a TV show, but still is active.. just not with EA.
Sadly, though, they didn't make TSM. They didn't have anything to do with the latter half of The Sims 2 and Sims 3 at all, I wonder if they ever will.
