i previously had trouble getting sims to run in a large window mode, i finally got that and now i have found a new problem. i asked on mod the sims as well https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=635099 but it seems that the problem has left everyone baffled.
basically i installed the 4gb patch, but the game's config log thinks it only has 2048MB i am running a patched executable. my path points to that patched executable. i am running a 64 bit OS and mycomputer has more than enough memory to use the extended address space. and despite this it still refuses to acknowledge it has more than 2048 mb. im not even sure what i did that fixed my resolution problems from before .. i am not eager to try and uninstalling and reinstalling everything again.. id have to fix the resolution all over again. >< my game has been crashing randomly and while i do have mods, (the memory issues happens regardless of mods, i checked to be sure) i mostly only have cas and buy mode mods and not all that many of them atm and im thinking the crashes are coming from the memory issue. even if the memory issue is not causing the crashes it still needs to be fixed. anyways if anyone has an idea or two im totally out of ideas but not quite ready to start from scratch again.
also not sure if this is a graphics card issue or not, my config log does seem to recognize my graphics card atm but idk where this kind of memory problem lies.
