This user has the following games installed:

Moving files to new 64 bit folder
I can't seem to find much info about this online. I updated to OS Monterey, and Sims 3 was no longer compatible. I found some resources that mentioned the new 64 bit version that came out maybe last year? So I'm in the process of downloading the 64 bit versions of the game and all my expansion packs. Base game is installed, and I successfully opened the launcher! So it seems like I should be able to play my game! Looks like it created a brand new "The Sims 3" folder in my "Electronic Arts" folder though. Is it safe to move over all my old files from the old "The Sims 3" folder? saves, downloads, installed worlds, CC etc. Are they compatible with this new version?
Edit: Also wondering if there's a launcher.exe file in the 64 bit version? I found this awesome
alternative launcher with a search feature that I'd love to try out. I know where to go to replace the files in the old 32 bit version, but the new version doesn't seem to even be in my applications folder. Can only find it in the launchpad.
Full disclosure, I have no idea what the difference between the 32 bit and 64 bit are other than one will work with my OS and one won't.
