I <3 the new 64-bit and Metal Sims 3
Having been on this forum for months, and months, answering general development questions and doing my level best to help reassure people that delays like this are normal, I would just like to say ...

@VeroniqueBellamy I finally got my game to work, and I too have been playing for hours on end. Really, the developers responsible for this 64-bit update deserve a huge thank you for making this gem of game playable for us again.
It has been running pretty smoothly for me too - no crashing, no major bugs. The game feels fast and responsive compared to before, however it does get a little choppy from time to time. This happens especially if my sim is on a community lot, where the game runs fine for a minute and then freezes for around 30 seconds. I hear that others have been experiencing something similar. I hope this is something that can be fixed as it can get a little annoying to play with. As a longtime Sims 3 player, I am used to having the game be laggy, but this constant freezing is a bit frustrating at times tbh. But will it stop me from playing it? Absolutely not.
Another thing I noticed is that there are way more sims present on community lots in general - the lots don't feel empty and deserted like before (at least compared to when I have played it on PC). I have not seen anybody mention this, so I was wondering if anybody else has made the same observation?
@Arual7296 I think you're right. IN fact, I had to figure out a way to wait out a couple of Sims that were waiting in front of a doorway. I guess being able to engorge itself on 16gb of memory instead of just 2gb, the game feels okay unleashing ALL the NPCs!
@VeroniqueBellamy Yeah, I think so too. Having to figure your way out of a crowd in the Sims 3 was definitely not a common occurrence before.
I have only been playing with the base game so far, but it would be very interesting to see if the clubs in Late Night are more full now. That would be a massive improvement!
