Re: Sims 4 Insufficient Memory
Hi, I know this was from a few years ago but I'm having the same issues. Can anyone help, please?

@puzzlezaddict, I am using Parallels as it was highly recommended to get if I needed Windows software. I have a M1 MacBook Air 2020. Parallels will run all Sims 4 expansions apart from 2 which are the latest expansions.
My MacBook memory is: 8GB

@4wb5qo21hiz8 I understand you might want Parallels for other reasons, but it's not going to run Sims 4 as well as your Mac would natively. For one thing, you've only budgeted 4 GB to Parallels, which I understand given that your system has 8 GB and also needs to run macOS at the same time. But within Parallels, 1 GB is reserved for graphics processing, which leaves only 3 for Sims 4 itself. That's not nearly enough, at least not when you have all packs installed.
My suggestion is that you install Sims 4 in macOS and play there. M1 Macs generally run the game quite well, and as long as you don't open Parallels at the same time, Sims 4 will have access to more than enough RAM. If you see any crashing, enable vertical sync, which is a check box with the other graphics options, and restart the game.
