Sims 4 uses more than half to all of my RAM

I'm having issues with playing Sims 4 on a computer with almost 32 gigabytes RAM. This game is not built for performance and barely functions even with so many things cut. As a baseline, it takes up 60% RAM. At worst, it takes 99% RAM which completely freezes my computer

I removed all of my mods and cleared cache. Every other game i've played runs flawlessly so it's very irritating

 

Ya'll cut open world for performance and it doesn't even perform well?

  • KillerRaven125​  Is the game itself using more than 16 GB RAM, or is that what's in use overall while you're playing?  I've heard of Sims 4 using that much memory, but only in the context of certain bugs that eat resources until they cause a crash, not anything that's by design.

    Since this can be a sign of a corrupted save, please test a new save as well, and if only the main saves are affected, let me know how large they are (in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > saves).

    If you want to try something that might help, enable Memory Boost and check RAM use again.
