breathes deeplyPlease don't break anything major 😅

I totally understand the hesitation. Each simmer decides when they're ready.

In past there has been mixed reports about it, also some who have tried it have said it has really made more lag. However, in past Memory Boost used to create second exe, why it might have not worked as should with some, now it only uses the games normal executable. Just my guess why some are bit worried to use it 😊

Yeah same I will be waiting before doing the update just in case something happens I usually wait until other simmers say something before I do anything.

Probably as many reasons as there are simmers why not everyone has the same experience.😄

Oh I know, all I was asking was what was it they were concerned about. 😅

True but unless you actually update the game and find out what your experience will be with it. How will you know? 😅
You'll forever be wary of it, all the time you don't take the plunge 😉

What is it about Memory Boost that you are concerned about?
From my experience it has made the game feel extra quick with load times and Sim responsiveness and touch wood, I've not had a game crash in months since opting into the feature.

I guess the fix for the save overwrite bug could change my mind about updating the game.... Even though I'm still wary about Memory Boost.
