Sims 3 origin mac 64 bit5/17/2023 Is there any way to make the developers aware that there is demand for this update on Windows? This shows they at least care enough about it to support it in spite of The Sims 4 being a thing. I have 16GB of RAM! I want to use it! Just like how Skyrim special edition pulled out all the stops on memory limitations for modding, The Sims 3 is begging for this update on all platforms! No more tweaking the ini files to force the game to use as much of the 4GBs of RAM a 32 bit application is limited to as possible. Windows 10 still has support for legacy 32 bit applications, so I understand that there's no pressing need to update this version for Windows, but a native 64 bit version of The Sims 3 with a modern graphics API update (DX12 and/or Vulkan on Windows) is literally a dream come true! No more Error 12 when I go a little overboard with CC. While I'm super happy for Mac using fans of The Sims 3, I am personally a Windows PC using fan of the game. You can't simply update your existing installation due to "considerable changes" made to the game. This is not an update for the original game, so much as it is a completely different version of the game that owners on Origin get for free. With Apple dropping 32 bit support on Mac OS, EA is stepping up to ensure Mac users can still enjoy The Sims 3 with a version of the game that runs in native 64 bit mode under the Metal graphics API. Earlier this month, a fairly quiet announcement came across that impacts Mac users of The Sims 3.
