A patch to address this has been announced by EA and will be forthcoming sometime in 2020.
Actually it's not patch but a completely different version of the game as it makes significant changes to the game. It'll be able to benefit from the 64 bit architecture allowing it to no longer be limited to the 32 bit RAM limit.
We do not actually know this, unless you have access to more information than I've seen released (of course I would love to be proven wrong here due to the huge benefits that would bring to the table). But it sounds to me like what they will be doing is wrapping the existing Mac version of the game with all of its limitations in a 64-bit wrapper of some kind so that Catalina and higher will run it. Nowhere have I read that they are re-engineering the Mac version to actually run as a 64-bit application would, or to even be the equivalent of Large Address Aware so that it can use more than 2 GB, although that would certainly be an improvement as well if it can even be done.
