why mods aren't allowed
I'm just wondering why sims 4 just haven't accepted the use of mods. Honestly, I'm tired of the clothes and shoes that they have. I want to look like Beyonce not Holiday Heart. I wish this could real...

@puzzlezaddict Well all computers need standard memory or else the programs won't run. Video memory is extremely high-speed. A lot faster than standard memory. For example: your computer using 4 gigs video ram and 4 gigs standard ram is a LOT slower than a video card with 8 gigs of ram.
That being said, I don't think the PS4 has standard memory. I think it dual-purposes the video ram as standard memory. This is a bad thing 'cause it means less ram for video purposes.
My PC has 16 gigs standard ram for programs and 8 gigs video ram. That's 24 gigs total. The PS4 only has 8. Yours must have 20.

@Psychotps I don't think in terms of total RAM, at least not with respect to computers, since the two are completely separate. While the GPU can technically borrow from main memory, it won't unless it's already using all its VRAM, and of course the CPU can't borrow from VRAM no matter the circumstances. It would be interesting to know how console memory is set up; I'm sure google can find me a diagram of what passes for a mainboard in a console.
And of course VRAM is much faster than normal RAM. My laptop's memory runs at 2133 MHz (really 2x1066, of course, since it's DDR), while the graphics card's VRAM runs at 5080 MHz. A proper new GPU's GDDR6 runs at 14 GHz, but then my laptop's GPU isn't really a proper card. Its PCIe lane width is also only x8. Still, it somehow manages to run TS3 and occasionally TS4 on ultra, so I'm not complaining.
- @puzzlezaddict That's all true. But with your video adapter having only 4 gigs, I can bet there's rarely a time that it DOESN'T borrow from regular memory. Especially with your game set on ultra as you said. The vanilla textures alone will kick it over that. Mods will make it more so.
I mean, it's good for a laptop, but it's a personal pet-peeve for me. I don't use them because desktops will always be more powerful. A laptop's only benefit is that you can pick it up and take it with you.
I did search for some information on PS4 memory and I couldn't find ANYTHING saying how much standard memory it had... only video memory. I might be wrong but if it doesn't have standard ram, it MUST be dual-purposing the video ram as standard ram... which isn't a bad idea actually. It would make the programs much faster but reduce the overall memory capacity.
