    If we IT people got together as a team, would it be possible for us to make The Sims 3 a 64-bit app?
    Because I'm tired of the 4GB memory limit and getting Error 12 when I try to save my game, even tough I have a gaming laptop.

    Without the source code? Unlikely, as you need the code to recompile it for 64bit. But before that, you'd also need to adjust the code to actually make use of the new architecture and memory limits.

    Maybe the original devs will do a remake for modern hardware, seems to be the hype these days.
