[BNW] More memory patches like Skyrim?

[ElliotS]

So in Skyrim legendary edition, which was also a 32 bit game, they created both an SKSE patch and a ENB module to allow you to far exceed the 32 bit memory limitations of the base game. I've noticed that nothing of the sort has been developed here, despite the issue being extremely prevalent in the modding community. Any idea why? Is it a number of users? Different focuses? Harder to do for this game?

I've just been thinking about the future of mods like VP and how much the 32 bit base seems holding them back. Thanks!

Thread '4GB Patch'

Jan 24, 2024

So I found this post: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/graphical-errors-after-x-amount-of-time.635899/ from a while ago, and people were talking about a 4gb patch (https://ntcore.com/?page_id=371) which would resolve some issues due to 2gb memory limitations (usually happens when you use a lot of mods or huge maps; I even stop using ethnic units because of it).
So my question is if anyone actually uses it? If it works?
If so, why don't people recommend it for high memory usage mods.

I saw that, but there is so little discussion around it and the one post mentions "the "large address aware" flag is already set for civ5.exe so i would be very surprised if this makes any difference"

If it's actually legit, why doesn't it get brought up more?

Any idea if it helps in multiplayer?

I think it's been built in at some point by firaxis... Check in task manager, civ almost certainly using 3.9 gigs or around there once the game gets going

Afaik 2/4gb both within 32 bit realm.... Need a way of going beyond that
