I am sorry. I sort of misspoke. When I said Sims 3 was dead, I was speaking from the viewpoint of EA. Personally I love Sims 3 and continue to play it in its current state with a few mods installed that improve its performance. Only issue I have with the game is that the CAS is terrible and all my Sims come out as ugly. Sims 4 has generally attractive Sims.

You can do nice characters if add custom sliders to CAS.
Personally i dont like "zbrush" approach of sims 4.

Who even use island paradise map , there r far more better fan made mapos with diving spots , the Only different I think is u can actuealy see Kraken in island paradise which u cannot in every other world , which I think is the main reason some might use otherwise there is no logical choice to use island paradise , the map is small and lot sizes r bonkers and waters too bright for eyes . Just use Lagecy Island III or Beach City or other worlds with diving spots . Also sims 4 have ugly sims with wired lighting and almost every one having same body aspects which is not the same for sims 3 , it's CAS is complex and is actuealy good given how many details it has , it laggs in times if u have all expantions installed but that is to expected after all this game is very old . Compare to that sims 4 does not even comes near of being good . I captured my sims face without using any CC for face or hair or skin , he looks far better with his expression then sims 4 ever will be or ever was .

My favorite custom world in sims is alpine county but the lag and memory issues and hard limitation breaks it and makes me sad

If EA did it, they'd make it a completely different purchase requiring all DLC be re-purchased in 64 bit mode. No cross compatibility in any way. They would also charge Sims 4 prices.

This, and people would buy it.

They only give a ♥♥♥♥ if they can monetize it. I can see 64 bit being a premium upgrade you have to pay 20 per expansion to get.

Can someone program it to be compatible with 64-bit?

That would have to be someone who was a glutton for punishment probably, not to mention highly charitable, the code for this game is a nightmare most likely, Twallen wrote a million + lines of code for the NRAAS mods just to make it run smoother.

You have a better chance of sitting on a nuke and surviving it's blast than EA making this 64 Bit, let alone fixing the bugs in the game... especially Error 16.

This would be great, but I wouldn't hold your breath. I expect Sim 5 to release even simpler, lighter on content, and more filled with monetization efforts than even the Sims 4 is.

well now that The Sims 5 has been officially CANCELLED we have a choice of a game that is awesome with graphics to match etc but is only 34 bit (needs to be 64 )that is The sims 3 or a ♥♥♥♥♥ cartoon graphics non open world loaded with load screens etc which is is The sims 4. So sad really

The Sims 3 is no longer supported.

The INZOI game is supposedly the new rage, whenever it publishes that everyone is Hyped about burying the Sims Franchise for good, Life By You is gone as well leaving Paralives which from a building mechanic perspective should already bury Sims # whatever, whenever that also releases.

The truth is EA buried Sims a decade ago, no competition was needed, EA destroyed Maxis and Sims with it, my better half has 35 years and some 400 games in library and she played 4, her verdict was it was trash.

The INZOI game is South Korean, so it will not resonate with a lot of people outside that Country as their games tend to mirror their Cultural Leanings while excluding everyone else, the Life Sim game Genre isn't very Popular these days.

Sims 3 was and is King even if it runs horribly, one can solve these issues for the most part albeit it is a Torturous Headache to do so, and making it Bug/Crash free in close to totality is not possible.

Apologists are just the worst.

It would be nice if EA would update The Sims 3. Even when launched, it was problematic. However, at this point (over ten years later), it seems the possibility of their double-dipping and releasing a bare-bones update for it, like they just did for The Sims 1 and 2, and pricing it like a new 2025 game, is more likely. Just look at the pricing for The Sims 4 DLC (much of which should arguably be part of the base game).

As an aside, considering the imminent release of InZoi, followed by ParaLives... let's see how EA handles the genre (or if they fold in the towel).
