The Sims team/Maxis/EA told players months ago that they would be stopping support for 32 bit systems. That was suppose to happen in October but was delayed. We have since learned with the patch update that released just a day ago (11-12-19) that was indeed happening. Players who are still currently playing on a 32 bit system will be prompted to download their Legacy Edition. This also means that those players will not be able to experience, buy or download Discover University set to be released in just a few short days (11-15-19).
