Sims 3 on a 64 bit
Naiad:
I can confirm that location should have no importance. My TS3 installation, with all EPs and no SPs in in D:\Electronic Arts, using windows 7 64bit. When I was using Win7 32bit, I had TS3 installed on another physical hard drive entirely, not just another partition (though this should make no difference as far as I'm aware, but then, what you're experiencing shouldn't happen either, so...) and it worked. Though vista wanted the last EP in program files for some reason, if I wanted to use CC. I triple checked and it was not a framework fail - I happily merged the newly created folder with the (backup) older one (this was before ambitions) when I reinstalled the EP in C and it automagically worked. I think that eliminates the possibility of Win7 being the cause , or the fact that you use the 64bit version of it, but I don't have an explanation of why this happens.
Besides that, which was probably TL;DR for some, I have this idea: have you tried patching manually (not during the amb installation, if that's you most recent EP), before installing? Because I do vaguely remember a new patch between Amb and LN, though I might very well be wrong, and I think that's when I switched from vista to 7, and I no longer had to install the latest EP (amb, then later LN, though I had amb only on Win7) in program files instead of wherever I pleased. Simprograms, however, seems to support the existence of such a patch, by not listing LN updates for 2/3 patches available for amb, specifically the first 2 here.
gilmar:
So far it is running okay, about the same as it runs on my 32 bit. I don't normally patch my game as problems arise from it because of my non-original software. I think there's a solution for this but I have not tried it. If I have Sims 3, WA and High Loft in program files, and then Ambitions and the rest of it in Program Files x86, the game runs. I tried installing it in D and in C:/Games but the same problem arose. However, if it is in Program Files on both XP & Win 7, the game runs fine.
Skadi:
I will add a +1 to installing to C:\Games\. I am on Win7 x64 Ultimate, with UAC on low [sometimes off].

Works fine for me. Wish I could say the same about The Sims 1 though, it crashes unless I add -nosound to the target line -.-

Yes, we get that from the thread you created about it. This thread is about Sims 3.
