With 64 bit gaming incoming

Don't get your hopes up. The game switching to 64 bit only support doesn't mean that future content is magically going to have more quality. If that was the case then the CPU and graphic card requirements would change as well

I hate to burst your bubble but the game already has 64 bit support. It's been there since the base game!! The update is simply getting rid of the 32 bit support.

No, 64-bit support for PC only came with the Get Together patch. Mac version was always 64-bit tho.

Which means that the game no longer has to be limited by what 32-bit systems can handle. Hence the ideas that we could now see larger worlds, more complex systems, etc.

Prayerfully so.

YES...

This is what I think too, I feel as if everyone thinks something big is coming out of this, with this installment I REALLY doubt it...I feel people are just building up to nothing, when I know good and well this series never delivers...(sorry for sounding negative but I honestly feel as if this isn't big at all)

the only assumption that we can make based on the announcement of 32 bit support drop is that the next EP is going to be released in June...

My first thought when I read the news was that Sims4 is going towards its end. Partly because they change it now, so late into the game and also no more pack until June...not even a stuffpack. I know about all the talk about three more years but to me it sounds we'll get an announcement for a new game next winter sometime.

Hopefully cars and roads added.

I mainly feel that this will allow them to make bigger worlds agains, increase the population limit further, possibly increase the sims on zone limit and optimize the game better since they can focus solely on 64bit.

This slow down in productions could actually be because they have been planning this drop of 32bit for a while now and they only wanted to get what was near completion out. We may see an increase in releases after the update as I'd imagine all packs currently in production are being made with the upcoming update in mind.

This slow down also makes sense since they're still getting console caught up and if they kept releasing packs like they did before console would never get caught up.

Also bugs are a thing possibly on their mind. Since 32bit will be getting it's own sims 4 version that stops at strangerville there could be several bugs they want to get fixed before they release it and 32bit players stuck with whatever bugs are left.
