Like I just said 3008MB is the highest RAM usage I've ever seen, but some other people
here on these forums claim that they have seen it use both 5GB and 7.5GB. I just wonder where it was they saw this? In their dreams maybe?
"With extended play, jumping back and forth between households, and taking breaks to lurk around the net, I've had RAM usage run as high a 5 GBs."
"2 GB is NOT enough if you have all EP and SP. I do and tabbed down, paused, idle it uses 2.6 GB. Running full tilt on a community lot with 20 sims on the lot and a concert going on, I've seen it run as high as 7.5GB for the game alone."
It's a pity none of them bothered to include a screenshot of what they saw. That would have been really interesting.
And one of the participants in that linked thread says that they have
"1TB of memory" ooooh... that sounds awesome (sigh) I'm sooo envious... my computers only have between 4-16GB... but maybe someday (sigh again, longingly)
