I'm so happy to get back to my Mac but I have 3 questions about this. I already read FAQ.
1. How many languages will be supported in the new version of the sims 3 as I'm not an English native?
2. Does the new version of the sims 3 will be upgraded to 64 bits like the sims 4 or just upgraded only for the 64bit Mac OS?
3. Which patch version will be in the new version of the sims 3? Will it be the patch 1.69 like pc version, and able to switch the language in Origin easily and able to select the packs on the sims 3 launcher?
I didn't find this type of answers in FAQ. Thank you.:)

2) This version is a 64-bit application that runs natively in macOS. There are no tricks to make it run in a 64-bit environment.
3) We don't know what the patch level will be, if there even is one. For the pack selector and switching languages, we'll find out soon enough.

We'll be trying to answer questions as they come up as well as posting other useful information.
Yeah, Sims 3 wouldn't work at all on that 64-bit MacOS without this updated game version. The Sims 3 works fine on Windows, but many simmers still want a 64-bit version of the game so it can use more RAM than about 3.6 GB without crashing due to Error 12. Many of us have 8, 16 or 32 GB RAM and want to be able to use it.
EA haven't ruled out a 64-bit version for Windows, so there's no definite "NO", just that they haven't announced one officially. There might be one in the future, so it's just fine to ask or wish for one. It's just that the Mac understandably had the priority. I can still play Sims 3 on Windows fine (most of the time), but the option to download a 64-bit version would be great.
The way I understand is the sims 3 hasn’t been working on the 64 bit Mac computer. So this one is the update version is compatible with 64 bit Mac OSX and the sims 3 will still support only 32 bits on the 64 bits Mac OSX. Am I correct? It’s very confusing to me. If so, there’s no point to go back to Mac system because anyway I will be able to use only 4 GBs ram on 64 bit Mac OSX. There’s no difference with pc version, and yeah I have the same wish to have the 64 bits the sims 3 version like the sims 4.
We do know that the game hasn't been remastered, though. So it's quite possible that when it reaches, let's say 6 GB of usage, the game engine is going to stall out or things may otherwise fall apart even if we don't get the currently more typical crashes and Error 12s. Many of us are eager to find out and stress test this thing, once we get a properly working copy of it in our digital hands.

You better ask here Because if you are a new here, then it won't allow you to make a new post to prohibit any adverts I guess.
