Yeah, it probably works on an HDD as well, but load times will be awful. I think this gets blown out of proportion. These AAA games or any game which had to load assets or whatever which exceeded available memory always had issues with load times etc. on HDD. So asking users to run it on an SSD is quite sensible to me.

We should argue though if a size of 125GB is actually necessary… Looks like it’s time to upgrade my M.2 SSDs from 500GB to 2TB at least 😅

Since they’re locking Consoles to 30 fps I’m worried their Recommended settings are using that as baseline as well.

If that’s the case I’ll wait for some IT hero with too much free time to upload their optimisation mod to nexus 😂

My tactic of waiting a year until a newly released game is fully patched and grabbing it with a discount has yet to fail me.

Yeah, your first point is so true. I always wanted to build walkable cities and see if that would work, but without mods you’re just missing the tools.

Even when modded to hell I didn’t feel like my bike lanes or pedestrian walkways really helped to lighten traffic. My sims would rather wait a full ingame year in congested traffic to reach their destination, than just walk 10 minutes. 😵‍💫
