Would you be interested in a Sims 3 64 bit update

I didn't have any idea EA was going to do this for MAC users. That's odd in a way after the game has been over for almost seven years. What's up with that?

The original (older) Mac version of the game will not run on the current macOS because Apple dropped 32-bit backwards compatibility with the release of Catalina a year ago. So those on Catalina or higher cannot currently play the game at all unless they have a way to boot up Mojave or run Windows through Bootcamp on their Macs. That's the difference -- the game having built-in limitations or perhaps not running as well as it might vs. forget it, it's just not going to install or run at all on the players' native or main-use operating system.

Another theory is that since Mac users represent only a minority of TS3 players, perhaps this project is a way to test how well 64-bit is going to work out and be received by a still considerably large sample set before seriously considering working on the Windows version. Or even if that was not really the original intent, it might very well be how things work out. Again, all just theories. :)

Thank you. But it still seems odd they would even care about the older game if people could no longer play it. Like how they retired the 32bit version of TS4 and called it Legacy. Don't you think it's sort of odd they still care at all about a game over seven years ago.
