Even if you have a fast computer you're going to sit there and download several hundred megabytes when you just want the base game and maybe 1 expansion? It's the modders for forcing people to download and load everything at once. If Tabletop Simulator crashes while attempting to load a mod - it's not the player's fault for having a computer with 4GB of ram. That's still not a valid reason for the expansions not to be in bags. Same thing goes for X-Wing with every expansion. If people want to play Arkham Horror with every expansion then sure - go right ahead and yes you'll need 8GB of ram for that probably. Needless to say it runs silky smooth on 4GB of ram. The best available version of it with high quality cards and 3D models for all the tiles and creatures unfortunately isn't available on the workshop as the modder was forced to go underground. Descent for example also has a ton of components and cards. Games with as many cards as Arkham Horror are far and few between. Here is a picture for you viewing pleasure (I was going to do more than one, but Steam removed the others) And before you say "But people usually only play with one expansion, maybe two" there are a very large number of people who play "All in." Not none, but out of those I'd say at most 100 cards out of the well over 1000, could actually be taken out and copied as duplicates). (shows you total number of components, and while things like money are duplicated, very few of the cards are. If you can get a game with as many physical components as Arkham Horror has, to not struggle even with 4 gigs of RAM, I'd salute you. None of these games should require 8 GB of ram but sadly many do because people aren't thinking about texture memory when creating the mod even though they should be. Just avoid the mods that didn't do it properly and you'll be fine. Originally posted by Aabra: There are many high quality mods out there that don't abuse memory like some do.
