What the heck?
Waaaaay to go, Sims Team. Sims 4 isn't popular already, and now you guys just made a bunch of people mad. In June of 2019, Sims 4 will no longer support 32-Bit systems, meaning those who have the game...

When you launch a game in 32-bit, it's implied that the game will remain 32-bit, don't you think? Those with 32-bit systems purchased with the idea that they would be able to play the game and its expansions.
Except, they didn't, not really. Sims 4 was always 64 bit for Macs. There were/are 64 bit and 32 bit versions for windows, but their page discussing the specs clearly lays out why 64 bit is better, how it's been available since Windows 7, how much memory the game typically uses, when it might use more, and why 32 bit systems crash because the game is trying to use more. It even states plainly: The Sims 4 is more stable when running on 64 bit Windows.
Basically, even they said, you CAN run the game on a 32 bit system, and we'll let you, but you shouldn't. And now they've finally decided it's time to stop even trying.
To be fair though The Sims series really needs regularly updated video cards and none of the cards on 32 bit are even able to be updated anymore and that is just one of many issues facing people with 32 bit systems.
