Sul Sul, Simmers!
We're always looking for ways to make your time in The Sims 4 feel smoother, more stable, and more fun. We're focused on improvements that benefit as many Simmers as possible. Memory Boost is one of those improvements.
Available on all platforms with our July 21 Base Game update, Memory Boost improves how The Sims 4 manages memory while you play. That means less lag, better performance, and fewer memory-related crashes, so you can spend more time telling stories and less time dealing with technical hiccups.
You may notice the biggest improvements during longer play sessions, when playing with large households, on highly decorated lots, or in save files packed with years of Sims, builds, and stories.
Every setup is a little different, so your experience may vary depending on your hardware. But across all platforms, Memory Boost is designed to improve stability and help make gameplay feel more consistent from the moment you hit Play.
What's Included with Memory Boost?
With Memory Boost enabled, players will see:
- Improved memory management during gameplay
- Reduced lag and performance slowdowns
- Improved frame rates and responsiveness
- Greater stability during extended play sessions
- Reduced risk of memory-related crashes
- Reduced loading times
Improved Save Stability
Memory Boost can also help with certain save-related issues associated with memory limitations. During testing, some players experiencing issues such as missing lot data were able to recover affected content after enabling Memory Boost and loading their save.
While Memory Boost is not intended to be a dedicated save-repair tool and may not resolve every save-related issue, its improvements to memory management can help reduce the likelihood of certain problems occurring and support overall save stability.
Thank you to everyone who continues to share feedback and experiences with us. Your reports help shape our Quality of Life initiatives and guide future improvements to performance, stability, and the overall gameplay experience in The Sims 4.
Happy Simming!
