@kirstey08 When you buy a copy of Sims 3, you're buying the right to run all the versions. So you should see both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions in your game library.
Sometimes the "entitlements," as they're called, for the 64-bit versions of the base game and any packs don't get applied to the account, but this is a mistake on the EA side and can be fixed by contacting support.
Thank you for your reply.
I have checked the price in steam and origin. I found out there is a discount in steam recently.
but I am not sure whether steam has 64 bit Sims 3 version or not.
Does steam has 64 bit version ? Or do I have to purchase sims 3 in origin?
thanks
@kirstey08 The Steam version of Sims 3 only runs in Windows. What you could do, if you have at least temporary access to a Windows computer where you can install Steam, is buy the game in Steam, then take the CD keys Steam provides and register them in Origin. (The CD keys are not viewable in macOS.) The game will then show up in your Origin library just as if you'd bought it from there directly.
thanks.I will update my laptop into Catalina 10.15.7 version before the purchase . But I want to ask can Mac OS Monterey open sims 3 too ?
Just in case I want to update my computer system in the future.
@kirstey08 Yes, Sims 3 runs well enough in Monterey. However, I'd stick with Catalina, at least for now: the Monterey graphics drivers are having issues handling Sims 4, and the OS itself is more demanding. So updating may just add another issue or two to the situation.
