Re: [FAQ] Save Errors (Error 12, 13, 15, 16)

what difference does a 32 or 64 bit operating system make???

A 32 bit operating system is not capable of using the RAM that you have.

It can only assign around 2 GB of RAM to all of your running programs combined (cause the operating system and video card and all also need RAM). A 64 bit system can assign more RAM but it then depends if the program itself is a 32 bit application or a 64 one. Sims is a 32 bit application so 4 GB of RAM is all an operating system can assign to the program.

I'm not really good at explaining this, since this is getting to much on the technical side for me.

There are many articles on this on the net which you can read.

Here's one: http://lifehacker.com/5431284/the-lifehacker-guide-to-64+bit-vs-32+bit-operating-systems

I get the error 12 and my windows is 32-bit but my computer is 64-bit

I have 64bit and 6ram
