Playable games within limits and only a tolerable amount of occasional lag and stutter are reachable right now. This is still a very theoretical question because it would depend on whether EA (or anyone they engage to do so) slaps up some 64-bit overwrap onto the existing game engine, which is not designed to be capable of running much more than it does now, or rewrites the entire thing from the ground up. The benefit to having more currently is that the OS and other processes can make use of the cores that the game cannot, while the game is running. But without access to program's source code, which is proprietary, those efforts have unfortunately failed to produce anything usable.Īs is, the game uses at most 2 cores. Experts have tried to build a 64-bit scaffolding around it in the hopes that it would at least stop the crashing and Error12s if/when the program calls for more RAM than it can use. In order to be 64-bit, the program would have to be redone entirely. Even if one could suppress the overflow errors and never divide by zero, the answers provided (the digits in the memory registers) will never make any sense. No 32-bit program can address more RAM than 4 GB, it would be like trying to do 16-digit math on an 8-digit calculator. The stricter 4 GB limit, and for practical purposes it's really about 3.7 GB, is due the program being 32-bit. But EA fixed that when Patch 1.17 came out alongside of LateNite so the app is no longer required.

That was fixable by a third party open source app that made it so, not a mod.

The prior 2 GB limit was due the game program not being Large Address Aware (LAA).
