If it does, it won’t be any improvement over TS3.

Right? Now that I understand what the other option is, I am absolutely on board with waiting for Aspyr to do the job, since they actually do it well. I have had more problems with that friggin’ Cider wrapper and a totally borked game with TS3 than I’ve ever had with a game. It gets to the point sometimes that playing becomes a complete chore and I have to completely start afresh, no old saves, missing half my expansions. I can’t even get Origin to work anymore. It’s just—ugh. Hand it back to Aspyr. PLEASE.

I don’t mind waiting a few months for Aspyr to port it. Aspyr actually know how to port a game properly, it would be worth the wait. Cider is an absolute joke though 🙁

To be honest, I’d prefer if this were only a PC release. I hated having to wait longer for Mac versions back in the TS1/TS2 days, but TS3 has been so damn buggy that I can’t help but wish for the old Aspyr days back. At least the games WORKED when we got them, even if we had to wait a few more months. Cider just doesn’t work well.

I know but I still don’t see Maxis dropping 32bit support. Even if only 30% of the fanbase has 32bit it would be a to big part. Beside do you really think the Sims 4 is going to need multicore and more than 4Gb RAM? I actually think it will still run on dual cores lol.

Actually, 70% of the banbase is already on 32 bit systems. This game will run for five years, that percentage will only grow. A 32 bit game can’t do multi-core processing, has trouble adressing more than 4GB of RAM and videocard combined. It may not be fully compatible with Windows 9, which will come early into TS4’s lifespan. A 32 bit game will have all the limitation TS3 had. Unnecessarily, since 64 bit is the major player now. It will make the game play way below its potential in any computer, EXCEPT low-end.

SimGurus contradicted that at GamesCon.

If September 30th is the case, then it’ll probably release here in the UK on the 3rd October (Friday). Great timing(!) – my language studies degree officially starts on the 4th, lol… I’m sure they won’t mind me skipping that whole weekend, just to ‘get to grips’ with TS4 a little… 😉

What? Cash will be still in game. Objects are rewards. You can unlock them. It is seperate from the cash you earn as wage.

What does “good” have to do with 64 bit :”)? They are not going to require 64bit since only the more heavy games utilizes it. Beside to many people have a 32bit Windows.
