Okay but this still doesn't explain why it varies between players. As I said, I have experienced faster loading times from the memory boost and my PC specs are well above the system requirements as well.

This is why I said that it is odd that some players are experiencing different results.

Know what would be a really nice update one that will let us have direct control over our character like in any other video game instead of having to rely on a mod that may or may not get broken after these updates.

I have a gaming laptop with specs well above the minimumrequirements. Sims 4 is the only game that lags on my it. The game even lags on the gaming desktop computer the my children use. From what I read from multiple online sources, the longer loading times are specifically caused by memory boost. Basically, their forced fix did not improve my experience. The only reason why I know loading times are longer was because I specifically timed it before amd after the July update. I haven't played with the August update yet, so my will see if this update makes loading times even worse.

Sorry to hear that. It's odd how for some players the loading times are longer and others have much faster loading times. Perhaps it is down to the hardware they have in their systems.

What is it about Memory Boost that you are concerned about?

First off, my personal pronoun is she/her.

As for the question.... I really don't want to keep saying this, but I had to reset my laptop and roll-backed to previous saves a few times due to the disappearing houses and lots glitch this year (Yes; I've already posted in the  Houses/Lots Disappear thread.). Besides, I've read the various posts about Memory Boost and that there's been complaints that it makes the game laggy.

SimulationBuilds​, memory boost has increased the loading times in my experience. The loading times are much longer than they were before it was forced.

I know and that's fair. I'm sure The Sims team wouldn't have done a full rollout of it if they didn't think it wasn't working as intended now. Since that was the reason for the beta release was to iron out any issues.

Correct, consoles don't provide methods to backup save files for any game.

We have no way to backup our saves, is that correct?

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 😊

But console users are basically out of luck, right? We have no way to backup our saves, is that correct?
