Will there be a 64-bit version of Sims 3 for Windows 10?
I'm running Windows 10 on 64-bit but The Sims is only in 32-bit. I heard EA released a 64-bit version for Mac but will there also be a 64-bit version for Windows 10?

@Mythdon There are a lot of reasons Sims 3 crashes, too many to list. The only one related to the game being 32-bit is when a crash is the result of it going over the ~3.7 GB RAM limit. You can check the game's memory use in the Task Manager if you're curious.
If this is in fact a memory issue, there are plenty of ways to try to address it. Most of us manage to play just fine, at least for a few hours at a time, without having a memory-related crash. But sometimes compromises need to be made, for example not playing in overly complicated worlds or with extremely overstuffed households.
If your crashes aren't due to the RAM limit, I can try to help you troubleshoot that too. Just let me know.
My desktop is 16GB of RAM, i3-8100 and Intel UHD Graphics 630 if that info helps any.
@Mythdon It doesn't help with the memory question. The point is how much RAM Sims 3 is using while you play, in particular after you've played for a while and right before it crashes.
If the game is not in fact running out of memory, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

dxdiag says "no problems found".
@Mythdon That's not the point of running a dxdiag. The point is to provide one so people can see your hardware and look for potential issues that might interfere with the game. The "no problems found" covers only a narrow band of issues, not usually enough to say anything useful.
Please do the following:
- Play for a while and check RAM use in the Task Manager periodically.
- Let me know how much memory the game is using throughout the session and whether it eventually crashes.
- Run the dxdiag, click "save all information," and attach the file to a post.
