Sims 3 for Mac: Rosetta being discontinued
I saw from WWDC that Apple will be discontinuing Rosetta from 2027. Am I right in thinking that Rosetta is required to enable the Sims 3 64 bit to run on Silicon Macs? The app is labelled as 'Intel'...

FreddyFox1234 There are other workarounds for this issue as well, including installing Windows or your current version of macOS on an external drive. I think I've read somewhere that installing macOS on an external is losing support, or maybe it already has, but at the very least, there are going to be third-party tools to help. (Rufus is one that already exists.) Then you'd have Windows or an older macOS available when you wanted and could disconnect it the rest of the time. And if it's an NVMe SSD with a Thunderbolt connection, you wouldn't be losing any significant performance, at least not for Sims 3.
I realize I'm suggesting you spend more money on Sims 3 without asking whether that's reasonable to you, but I did want to mention the possibility.
