The game's ''bitness'' (i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit) affects how much memory it can use. Stardew Valley is 32-bit on Windows, so it's limited to ≈3GB of the computer's memory. That's fine for most players, but those with a large number of mods (or large mods) can experience <tt>OutOfMemoryException</tt> crashes. Changing the game to 64-bit unlocks access to all available memory, which avoids <tt>OutOfMemoryException</tt> errors (if the computer itself has enough memory available).
