Memory leak?

I use the shortcut as well to bypass the launcher and disable my DSL connection, it still freezes while loading neighborhoods and has little moments of lag that as I said, I assumed meant the game was trying to phone home. Oddly enough I had installed Zone Alarm to throw up a firewall to stop it but after I had it installed, TS2 wouldn't load at all so I had to remove it in order to play the game.
I get the odd black screen lag while loading the hood (may mean that the game is trying to find a way to call out, but I have really not checked) and the odd bit of stutter/lag/slowdown while playing, but nothing that did not exist previously with large complex lots or lots with a high number of visitors (I enable a fair number of visiting sims, because I don't like comm lots with nobody at them). In all cases, lag is temporary in my game and smooth running resumes after a few seconds. I may try monitorying CPU usage to see if the memory leakage thing is happening to me.

Is this with or without CC? With or without hacks (Awesome or Not)? I don't think you even have to be "playing" per se, for this to occur. The first thing I did when testing out BV was to load Veronaville, Monty and remodel the suck EAxis had created. I started getting odd bouts of lag and random blue screen in the process of replacing light fixtures, furniture, walls and floors. It didn't make a difference if all the visual options were turned up high or all the way down. I hadn't even "played" the family or even selected a vacation 'hood yet. This was with CC and Awesomeness.
I have only awsomeness in my downloads folder, the MATY Director's Cut (the most recent version, I check twice a day). No other cc or hacks. I have all EPs and all SPs at the moment. I was not complaining, merely offering stats I had noticed that may support the as-yet-unconfirmed-by-EAXIS memory leak.

CPU= Processor
RAM=MEMORY
Watching your CPU usage won't tell you if there is a memory leak. ;) It will tell you that TS2 is a resource hog, in general, but that's not the question at hand. LOL

True enough - then again, my brain has been suffering memory leakage all day, so I'm not surprised I'm making terminology errors. I may print your correction just so I remember it later this evening when I can finally get to my game machine. :P

My deepest apologies as well. When running BV, pagefile usage goes through the roof, though. Under the performance tab, "Physical Memory (K)" lists Available as dwindling rapidly. How do I monitor actual memory usage in real time?
