Positive Thoughts Discussion: Project Rene

It's going to be the first version of the sims made from the ground up as a 64bit game. TS4 started out as 32bit and got updated some years later, so many design choices will still reflect the original design. The big difference is that 64bit can access a lot more memory. This makes it possible to create bigger play areas (potentially districts, rather than single lots) and to have more sims in an area.

Of course, there will also be competing demands for more memory, for example higher quality graphics. There will always be compromises, but there will be less in project rene than any previous game. I hope to see a more active world in terms of number of sims and the size of each playable area.
