Memory boost option gone

hello, since a while the memory boost option is gone from my settings, is this feature not longer a thing?

Edit: Memory Boost is now a part of the game in all versions, and the non-boosted version is no longer available. So the option to select Memory Boost has been removed.

VCWhittman It's been gone for me as well for a while, and even editing Options.ini doesn't help. You can see whether the game is using it by default by checking the Task Manager: TS4_x64.exe is the standard game, and TS4_x64_fpb.exe is the Memory Boost version.

no i dont run any commands, and i have sims via steam, i reinstalled everything on my pc, i never had gshade or reshade installed on this fresh windows installation, i used malwarebytes before, then switched to bitdefender, idk if they could cause that

Hi VCWhittman

try the following:

open the Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > options(.ini) with any text editor

Check if you have this line:

featurepreviewbuild =

If you don't, manually add it like this: featurepreviewbuild = 0

save the file and you should have the option back. I don't know why the line gets removed when you create a fresh folder. Did it for me to but adding that line made it show up again. You can then change it to your liking in the game.

It should be coming as standard for everyone with the next patch though

  Can you try changing it to featurepreviewbuild = 2 and see if it then runs the memory boost exe (TS4_x64_fpb)?
