    I don't give a Flying Woo Hoo if the game is 32 bits, it works and that's all I care about, there is Somewhat of a Create a Style, there are ways to Change the Color or Picture on Shirts, I am happy with 50x50, lot size 64 is WAYYYY too big, how big of a house do you need??? Sheesh. as for Pools, You are aware that Diving boards didn't come for a for a Few Weeks in the Sims 3, Right? any way I am Happy with the game and what ever EA Throws at us

      It was years before we got diving boards in ts3 not months. We didn't get them till Seasons came out in a patch.

      bflury is the only person in the entire world who cares about the 32-bit/64-bit issue.

      To me, finding out that a big modern game doesn't have a 64-bit executable is always a disappointment, tbh.
      TS4 is not the first and most likely won't be the last game to disappoint me on that regard.

      I care because 32-bit limits how much memory can be assigned to the program, 32-bit 2-3g. 2g normally or 3g is large address aware. I have over 16g of memory and it'd be nice to use more of it.

      How much memory can be assigned to the program in windows.

      I'm not even sure what the difference would be... If it works, it works lol.

      It might be fine now, but after loads of expansions and custom content you might be wishing the game supported multi cores and more than 4GB RAM. We shouldn't be limited by the lowest common denominator.

      I do, I bought more than four gigs of Ram and I would love the programs to use it. Plain and simple.

      TS3 is also 32-bit executable so it doesn't really help :\

      Just wait until we start getting dlc and expansions, it wont be running so buttery smooth afterwards. Even now I get occasional stuttering with an i7 and 16GB of memory.

      I'm not an expert on this, but for skyrim (which is also a 32 bit game), it crashes if you go over 3.1g of memory usage which is a limitation if it being 32 bit and that can't be fixed. It wasn't a problem for the vanilla game, but severely limits the amount of mods (particularly graphics enhancing mods) that you can run.

      I imagine that there might also be problems for heavily modded sims4 but I guess that's something we won't find out for a while.

      No problem. Most people don't realize the difference between 32-64bit. :)

      How many games use 64 ? not many it is useful for background working .
      Developers have not yet started to utilise 64 and most games are still 32

      64 bit = better performance when lots of things have loaded. 32 bit = lots of stuttering when too much has loaded and will usually end with crashes. Being stuck with a 32 bit executable means The Sims 4 has a limitation which the devs have to work around, which isn't good.

      In fact, I give five!

      It's stupid to limit hardware when they KNOW Sims games have such terrible performance issues once expansions come out. That doesn't mean I won't enjoy the game, just bummed that I can guarantee it won't run smoothly later on.

      As long as there are no problems such as memory constraint caused by being 32 bit it doesn't make a bit of difference. Had a huge number of mods in previous Sims releases so don't imagine this will be a problem now. If it works well for what you need who cares whats behind the scenes. :)

      That makes sense, if the game supported 64-bit, then when we get more and more expansions there would be more of a chance the games would stay running smoothly, right?
