Re: [CURRENT ISSUE 64-bit] TS3 64-bit memory leak

So I have the 64-bit Sims 3 working with multiple expansion packs installed (4 or 5, I think). It was working fine for an hour and a half before crashing randomly, but I restarted it and played for another 2 hours before the game froze then had a message pop up saying "Your system has run out of application memory" and showing that the Sims 3 was using 61.89GB?? That seems like an insane amount for it to be using, right?

Anyone with the same issue or have any advice for me?

Screenshots of system details and error message attached.

    @Eemsmoo  That is an insane amount of memory.  What does the Activity Monitor say?  You can launch it, open the Memory section, and leave it running while you play.  Then you'd see not only current RAM use but a graph showing recent use, in the lower left corner of the window.

    Your computer doesn't have a lot of memory installed either, so it's a good idea to not run anything else (aside from Origin) while you play, at least for now.
