They didn't deliberately create this to run on 32-bit computers, that was just an excuse and yet another one of their 'the fans are to blame' attempts (surprising how many have fallen for it).
The Sims 4 is 32-bit and as cut down as it is because it was designed to be an online game, and they needed to minimise the amount of bandwidth being used when transferring stuff between computers, so what we have instead is a game where every life stage except young adult was hastily added to the game, after they discovered that online just doesn't work, terrain tools are absent as is loads of other stuff... All of which make much more sense to remove if you consider that this was an online game as opposed to a game designed to run on old computer.
The Sims 2 had far more in its base game, and it was made for older computers as well, so that excuse is wearing more than a little thin.
I'm not saying they don't make excuses--shoot, I think they've made more excuses than my kids did when they were six, but it also doesn't change the fact that something has to intentionally be programmed to use 64-bit hardware, as in additional programming must be added for 64-bit.
True, but as I said, the reasons aren't because of the fans using old computers.
