I think the standard edition would work fine through origin but since the kp edition is not on origin I was going to install the base game and kp showtime without origin. Would an employee be able to offer me the kp edition?
@tay13b I don't think the KP version of Showtime can be granted anymore, but you can always ask. Regardless of the outcome, the 32-bit version wouldn't be removed from your account, so there's nothing to lose. I know for sure that some players have been told they can't get the KP version, but I'm not sure whether that's the official answer or just a customer support rep not knowing how to do it.

Would ts3 base game and kp showtime work on a 32 bit computer? The old fashioned way
I’m not sure where to look for a 32 bit computer

@tay13b You don't want an actual 32-bit computer. Macs have been 64-bit for around 15 years, although they can still run 32-bit apps (like Sims 3) as long as the operating system is Mojave or earlier. Windows 10 still runs 32-bit apps fine, but you'd want one with at least 8 GB memory; a 32-bit OS can only address 4 GB RAM no matter how much is installed.
Again, the issue here is that you can't use discs to install Sims 3 on your Mac because the operating system will not authenticate them. You'd need a Mac running Yosemite (OS X 10.10) or earlier to play via disc. Or, since your computer runs Mojave, you could install the 32-bit version of Sims 3 and play that instead, with all its limitations. Or you could get a computer that runs Windows 10 and install from your discs.
