===Origin Shutdown===
===Origin shutdown===
On April 17, 2025, EA will shut down their Origin client,<ref>https://www.pcgamesn.com/the-sims-4/ea-origin-shut-down</ref> which was the final option for 32-bit hardware to run EA-published titles. While most consumers have already switched to using 64-bit hardware, the [[end-of-life]] of 32-bit support means that vintage enthusiasts, tech historians, and users who previously did not need to upgrade their 32-bit hardware are unable to either install or run the libraries that they paid for.
