How to allocate more ram to sims 4?
So I got The Sims 4 on a laptop with 32GB's of ram, a 9th gen 7, a GTX 1660 Ti and two 1TB SSD'S, being The sims 4 installed in the faster one. Idk why with this specs, the game's laggy and can't use more than 4gb of RAM. Can I allocate more ram to it?
@Fernix93 It's very possible that the problem is the number of objects. The limiting factor here may be the game engine as well, not your computer's hardware. I've seen lag on my gaming system where the CPU and GPU were nowhere near maxed out on any metric; it was just a matter of Sims 4 tripping all over itself trying to resolve something.
One intervention that might help, depending on the source of the lag, is Simp4Sims's Graphics Rules Overhaul. It's important to use the most recent version because the files have changed somewhat in the three years since the original was released. Please see this for more information:

The short version is, the game can lag when switching excessively between the high and low LOD models of objects, and the more objects on a lot, the more switching is required, at least on default settings. On systems that can handle it, forcing the use of the high LOD model at somewhat greater distances reduces switching and lowers the overall workload.
I don't know for sure that this will help because I'm only guessing at the source of the lag. But the good thing is, if you don't like the results, pull the file and you're back to default.
