64 Bit Update
Hi all, I'm late to the game I know but I've just heard there's a 64 bit update and I just wanted to confirm if this was for PC or just for Mac? I know it was built in order to allow Mac users to co...
@bishty At the moment, there are no plans to update The Sims 3 on Windows to 64-bit, as the game still runs and, with a few fixes, pretty well. You can try some of these fixes in order to improve performance.
@bishty How much memory is your save using when you load it, and when you've played for say 20 minutes? Check the Task Manager for the numbers, and please list absolute values, not percentages. (Right-click on the Memory header to switch.) And let me know which world(s) you're playing in.
Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

@puzzlezaddictHi, sorry for the delay in getting back, have had a crazy week at work.
Here are the notes I made:
Loading = 1856.6 MB
20 mins in = 1829.7 MB
40 mins in = 1619.8 MB
60 mins in = 1467.9 MB
80 mins in = 1661.9 MB
Approx 100 mins in = 1718.1 MB
Quit to reload textures to go into CAS
Loading = 2200.9 MB
Spent almost 5 hours in CAS = 1198.1 MB
Moved in to new house = 1847.3MB
20 mins later = 1916.1 MB
Crashed approx 10 mins later
I have attached the report from the crash. I will attach the dxdiag in another post
I am playing in a custom world based off the Riverview map. https://modthesims.info/d/588036/simburbia-something-for-everyone-all-playable-lot-types-from-all-ep-no-cc.html
The world played perfectly fine before whatever triggered this issue.
I almost never get crashes in CAS but pretty much inevitably after estimate maximum 2 hours in live mode.
