Nothing Will Help My Sims 4 Game...

I 'am at a wits end with my TS4 game. I have tried everything to fix my game so that it would work properly. This is what is going on, What I have tried to do to resolve the issue, and what is happen...

    As far as the clientDB file, it is 5,687KB While my game was running, I minimized my game and opened the task manager and for the Ts4.exe it had 1,014,284K.

    So here is the thing that I tried last night... while playing and again I played my game for 5 hrs straight (Without any time of crash) I went through the task manager and shut down unnecessary programs that were just running in the background and I didn't load, FRAPS (as I'd normally do) and I have my graphic settings on custom. My game ran pretty good. I only allowed my Sim to travel once the whole time I was playing and that was to visit a friend. I'm not sure how my game will run on this one lot in particular. I will give that a try next. So do I have to always shut down certain programs before I play as it seems to run good that way?

    Also I want to mention that I have deleted the clientDB file before and it just regenerate itself. That's why I asked if it was safe to delete and it seems like it doesn't go no higher than 5K.

Here's an explanation what user file is for what. You can delete it but it's needed while the game is running. User files explained

If you don't have much as RAM, it's good to close down programs in the background you don't need. The amount for the game itself is still ok. It shouldn't crash if the overall RAM usage is ok.

Traveling does usually put more stress on the RAM so less traveling and keeping the play sessions shorter should help.

    Thank you, Crinrict for your help and advice. I really appreciate it. I have yet to load my game again to further test and play other household but as long as I keep unwanted programs out of the way, I think I'd be able to play O.K.

    Thanks again 🤓
