Sims Legacy possible memory leak?

Hi all,

My mum recently bought the Sims 1 Legacy Collection and was complaining it would randomly crash after 30 minutes or-so, regardless of what she was doing, live mode, build mode, etc.

So I decided to give it a go myself on her computer (It's got some kind of 13th gen intel processor utilising Intel's onboard UHD 730 graphics and 8GB of RAM) with the resource monitor and no other programs running in the background; To begin with, the game was using ~5GB of RAM, which is fine. But every 10 minutes or-so the RAM usage had gone up by another gigabyte until after about 30 minutes it was sitting at 7.8GB usage before the game suddenly crashed with no error message, locking up the whole system and requiring a full system reboot.

To me this seems symptomatic of a memory leak within the program, as this doesn't happen with any other games or programs she uses. She often plays the Sims 3 for a couple of hours at a time with no problems whatsoever.

Anyone else experiencing this?
