Can I get Sims2 to use more RAM?
« on: 2009 December 13, 01:37:43 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Hi,
I recently upgraded to 8GB of RAM and Windows 7 64bit.
I notice however that I am limited to 4096 (4GB+) in the game.  Whadda waste.
Is there a way to force the game to use more of what is available to it? 
My machine is dual-core.   If I use only one will it use more ram or less?   There is an easy way in Windows 7 to make that kind of setting.
Is there a setting I can use in config?
Please advise...I have tons of CC and wish I could add more,  but even with 4GB operating I still see a 1900+ cache (from the page file?)  It is silly to have this game using a slow pagefile when it could be using the physical memory.
Thanks,   K

No. TS2 is a 32-bit program. A 32 bit program normally can only use 2 GB, and it's only with some serious arm-twisting that you can persuade it to use 4, possibly at the cost of making the program unstable.

 Cry  Huh!     Sad   Thanks Pescado.  I figure if anyone had a chance of knowing it would be you.  And you saw my inquiry.  Thanks again.  Guess I'll just settle for what I have.  Undecided    Whaaaa....K
