Hi, I’m experiencing a severe memory leak issue after the latest game update. My system consistently runs out of application memory, and the "Force Quit" menu shows The Sims 4 consuming over 140GB of RAM.System Details:Mac: MacBook Air, M2, 2023OS: Tahoe 26.5Issue: The game becomes extremely laggy shortly after launch and eventually freezes my entire system, forcing me to hard restart my Mac.

Sweetmeatss Could you post a screenshot from Activity Monitor showing this memory usage? Make sure you have it sorted by Memory in the tabs at the top and sorted by Memory, not Process Name. Please post the whole screenshot so the memory stats at the bottom of the window are also visible. Does this happen in a completely new clean TS4 folder as described here?
