[CURRENT ISSUE 64-bit] TS3 64-bit memory leak
I think that this issue is important. As we know, TS3 64-bit is fresh, so it's typically that there's some bugs or sth. I had today weird situation - when I was in Buy Mode, my game froze, I was play...

@MarRezKermi Just to clarify, how different is the save you've uploaded from the one that caused the memory leak? If you've changed it in any significant way or even played it forward for more than a sim-day or so, I'd much rather see the one from your Mac. Especially with StoryProgression running, the save data could have changed significantly even if you never did anything worth noting on your own.
@Bluebellflora and I want to test and see whether we can recreate the issue, so we do need to have exactly the same save, or as close as possible, to test.
@puzzlezaddict This is the last save from my Mac. When I said that, I meant that I started playing with this save on Windows a few weeks ago and THEN took this to my Mac and play further. 🙂
I uploaded version where I had the second time leak (with all my mods).

@MarRezKermi That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks. I just wanted to make sure we'd be running the same save.
@MarRezKermi Bluebellflora and I are running the two versions of your save now. So far, we don't see any issues, but it's early. In the interim, could you upload your deviceconfig? It's in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3.
@puzzlezaddict Uploaded! Today I’ve played without issues all day, lol
@MarRezKermi That's good to hear. I'm wondering though if maybe this issue is somewhat random, the result of the game engine trying to do something it can't and getting stuck in a loop that spirals out of control. These things have always happened in Sims 3, but in the 32-bit version, the game would simply hit the memory limit and crash. Since there's now no ceiling, the game engine can continue to eat RAM until the system steps in and shuts things down.
I didn't see the game's memory use get much over 2 GB when I let it run, but that might not mean anything. I'll try again later. In the interim, NRaas Register and Traffic may help, especially if the issue is the spawning of excess vehicles or wild horses getting caught somewhere or similar. I mean, if you're already using a bunch of mods, why not add a couple more.
By the way, this is random, but what does your werewolf sim look like when transformed? His werewolf form looked to me like a pretty mild version, but I wasn't sure whether he was supposed to sprout a thick fur coat or just take his shirt off and grow some fangs.
