Lol, I wouldn't bet money on this happening, I am also curious as to why you cannot play it if it isn't 64 bit.

Maybe on apple system not working with 32 bits programs... On PC it makes no difference for old games like this one.
EA paradiso bugs because it is poorly designed. Same for Aurora skies snow.
And I don't think EA will fix it now. Sims 3 is ancient history for them.

However everything is possible, we have seen Bethesda fix Fallout 3 after (only) 13 years, why not EA ?

Paradiso was redone by a mod author correcting many of the issues that plagued it, the author did say that particular map was beyond reach to get it real well ironed out but it was a serious improvement nonetheless.

I am playing Sims 3 on Mac 64-bit and it has a lot of bugs. (Sims cannot interact with the ocean. There's no swimming, fishing and snorkeling. The eyelashes look like one thick black block too. Just to name a few issues.) EA hasn't made an update on fixing it. But I do hope it will get fixed, whenever that is. Maybe then, they will offer 64-bit for Windows too?

Typical EA port, once they have your money you cease to exist.

EA won't be updating such an old game like Bethesda, Activision, Ubisoft, Warner Bros., etc.

I'm playing the game on a 64-bit machine. Why can't you play it on yours?

Apple basically killed off 32-bit support completely on Catalina and newer OS on Macs. It's even impossible to emulate 32-bit programs in VMs as well.

Woah no way, I thought Bethesda stopped caring. Or was it Microsoft that ordered them to?
Then play it in ( microsoft )pc instead of apple where 64 bit actuealy works

Lol Mactards hate Windows so much they'd rather not play 32 bit games than switch over

I agree, it's not fair that Mac os users received the 64 bit version and not windows os users as well. This is still hands down the beat Sims experience with its open world Mas. Also I find it ludicrous that a 11 year old game costs this much! I remember picking the whole Sims 3 series on origin for around $90 Cad.
