That may be true, but if that was the case, we'd still be driving around with horse and buggy instead of having vehicles with combustion engines and men having walked on the moon.
If one doesn't push technology to its limits...
IN this case, I'd prefer it if EA got a fresh new build team to program the 64bit upgrade.
Oh I do believe in employing new technologies. I would love to be able to put on a headset and actually enter the world of my sims. Especially useful when house and world building :)
My problem is I do not trust EA just to simply rewrite the game for 64 bit. I would hate to see something I love "upgraded" to resemble TS4 and I truly believe there is no one within the current team with the necessary skills to do the job properly. In these circumstances I would prefer the company to put all the effort and new technologies into TS5 which might then be a worthy successor to TS3.
By the way my horse and cart does not have the welly of my old sports car but at least I get to enjoy the scenery more :D - NikkeiSimmerNew Vanguard

- BurnziieNew RookieI have a huge feeling it'd be essential. Last I tried it my computer which could keep stable 60s on modern games could hardly run TS3 without major simulation-lag + long loadtimes even with all the essential mods.
I really want to go back to TS3 but I can't because of the lag, and a nice 64bit upgrade might do wonders. - SamXNE_997Seasoned Novice

Tell me you didn't just say that. - Question;
If I get the 64 bit Sims 3 would I still be able to use my old save file? Can I still pick up where I left off in my game by saving my save file and backups and then adding it to the new 64 bit version of Sims 3?
Plus will any world I create with CAW still work with the 64 bit Sims 3?
Update;
Oops! Never mind! Just realized that the 64 bit Sims version is only for Mac users and not for Windows. Oh well. - i used to absolutely love ts3, but it unfortunately got to the point where i could hardly run it. having it in 64-bit and being able to try it again after all these years would be so nice...

Highly suggest you don't open that door. You're going to start a war.
Hahahahaha :D- NikkeiSimmerNew Vanguard
