    in The Sims 4 Speculation and Rumor
    With the 64 bit update Incoming what are you hoping to see change? I am thinking we may get a graphic overhaul. I hope we can get larger worlds at last prehaps update some of the smaller EP/GP worlds I am looking at you (Magnolia Promnard). And hopefully a meaningful education system ( hay I can dream).

      Better personalities, larger worlds, larger packs.

      Don't get your hopes up. The game switching to 64 bit only support doesn't mean that future content is magically going to have more quality. If that was the case then the CPU and graphic card requirements would change as well

      I hate to burst your bubble but the game already has 64 bit support. It's been there since the base game!! The update is simply getting rid of the 32 bit support.

      No, 64-bit support for PC only came with the Get Together patch. Mac version was always 64-bit tho.

      Which means that the game no longer has to be limited by what 32-bit systems can handle. Hence the ideas that we could now see larger worlds, more complex systems, etc.

      YES...

      This is what I think too, I feel as if everyone thinks something big is coming out of this, with this installment I REALLY doubt it...I feel people are just building up to nothing, when I know good and well this series never delivers...(sorry for sounding negative but I honestly feel as if this isn't big at all)

      the only assumption that we can make based on the announcement of 32 bit support drop is that the next EP is going to be released in June...

      I agree. I think the probability of another June expansion is quite likely. I really feel we'll get 2 expansions again this year. I really hope they can squeeze in at least one other game pack too. I also suspect we'll get at least one stuff pack.

      My first thought when I read the news was that Sims4 is going towards its end. Partly because they change it now, so late into the game and also no more pack until June...not even a stuffpack. I know about all the talk about three more years but to me it sounds we'll get an announcement for a new game next winter sometime.

      I mainly feel that this will allow them to make bigger worlds agains, increase the population limit further, possibly increase the sims on zone limit and optimize the game better since they can focus solely on 64bit.

      This slow down in productions could actually be because they have been planning this drop of 32bit for a while now and they only wanted to get what was near completion out. We may see an increase in releases after the update as I'd imagine all packs currently in production are being made with the upcoming update in mind.

      This slow down also makes sense since they're still getting console caught up and if they kept releasing packs like they did before console would never get caught up.

      Also bugs are a thing possibly on their mind. Since 32bit will be getting it's own sims 4 version that stops at strangerville there could be several bugs they want to get fixed before they release it and 32bit players stuck with whatever bugs are left.

      I wonder if this will effect consoles or are consoles already at 64 bit?

      I agree. I think they are going to try to clean it up as best they can before they deliver that final version to those that can't move on.

      PS4 and XOne are presumably 64-bit already, having been released when 64-bit was already the norm

      Edit: I checked, and they're not necessarily 64-bit (their CPUs might possibly have more bits), but this shouldn't be a concern anyway, because the console versions of TS4 are already built to match the CPU architecture of the each console

      Yeah, I think we're in for a couple of sizeable patches in April, May, and potentially June.

      I'm guessing there will be less limitations that come out of this and some more advanced stuff. I'm excited but also slightly worried because I might actually start having lag in my game and might need a newer system or upgrade in the future (even though I do have a 64 bit capable system). I think I can bite the bullet and upgrade if it comes down to it though :).

      @Hermitgirl exactly my thoughts on this too. Excited yet slightly worried. I have a 64 bit that was a top of the range (and very expensive) gaming PC when I had it custom built, however that was quite a few years ago now.

      I can't wait to see what the next EP will bring us

      I would love to see them updating the older worlds to make them bigger. I remember that Grant said that they could update worlds to add new neighborhoos when Sims 4 was released, but they never did that (i think magnolia promenade and the hidden lots were supposed to be added to Willow Creek/Oasis Springs, but they scrapped that for some reason, i would love to know why).

      I doubt the drop of 32 bit is going to make this game better or is going to change the size and scope of the content they are going to release.

      64 bit just became the new standard.

      Keep your expectations realistic. Maybe for Sims 5.

      But I'm sure bigger worlds is possible now.

      Game is indeed have a support for 64 bit long time ago, but they also cater for the 32 bit user so they probably also had to be careful when and what to add to the game, remember the Del Sol Valley small world, I think when they finally stopped supporting 32bit we'll see an improvement in the future content.

      I do not think it is very likely that we will see any larger changes for the sims4 64-bit version. Not when sims4 (probably) does not have many years left. I think Get Famous and Strangerville have showed us how much more content we can expect added with each dlc. I think they are working now to finish their projects that they have worked on for a long time. Any larger projects or ideas will probably be reserved for a possible sequel.
