Not enough free memory to download this mod

Zombies 2 Plants vs. Zombies Heroes Other Plants vs. July Yesterday, I bought a used laptop and I've been trying to download the sims 4 on it, but every time, it says that I don't have enough hard drive space, which doesn't make sense because its new and I haven't downloaded much at all.

Me too. Message 1 of 10 20, Views. Re: Not enough hard drive space for Sims 4?? July Hello morgaaanpaige can you please tell me how much your memory your drive has. Greetings, Babyhuehnchen.

July Hello morgaaanpaige if you bought a used laptop, id recomend reinstalling windows entirely, than you will have enough memory to install the game.

Message 4 of 10 20, Views. July Okay I'll try that! Thank you!! Message 5 of 10 20, Views. July By any chance did that work? I split your response from the thread linked above so that we can create a new thread just for you that other's can join in and help. We lock older threads that get bumped or revived because we encourage those who may have a similar issue to simply just create a new question thread because you will generally receives more answers that way and it allows you to fully explain the situation instead of on somebody else's old thread.

The answer from Puppy Fujo that you referenced is the most logical answer as the internal hard drive is reserved mainly for games and apps since most of them have big downloads or updates. External hard drives are required mainly if you want to use other media on the Xbox besides games or apps.

The content is still playable but would need to be done so primarily from an external hard drive if you have a lot of downloaded media. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. There is only a certain amount of space dedicated for file storage as they drive is split into partitions.

Just like an external drive, it can be formatted for file storage or games and apps. It can't hold both. So they split the internal drive so there is some file storage with most of the drive dedicated to storage of games and apps. I noticed the same thing when using my console to download videos using torrents or using Edge to download videos.

It is the only logical conclusion given these observations. You see now why I'd prefer if you didn't lock the previous post? Nobody is going to follow up on three different posts just to answer me, but in the old post I had answers You just transformed one simple thing into something such complicated!

Let's get back to the topic, is Puppy Fujo 's reply the answer to my question? You just agree that it is the most logical one but, in order to close this thread, I would like a definitive answer from a Microsoft representative to such an issue and to the fact that nobody knows the exact media's partition size of the internal disk. Apologies if splitting your post and locking the old thread has made things complicated for you, but as a moderator we also have to enforce the forum rules and guidelines and moderate when an old thread get's revived.

The reason it requires double the space is because the preload files are encrypted. When Steam's release timer for the game hit zero, everyone could start decrypting these files. Steam extracts from the downloaded encrypted files, but does not delete the file it extracted from, thus using double the space.

I tried the same thing as you have, but resulted in failure. What I have done is move all the files and any unpacking profess you have achieved to a steam folder on an HDD with GB free space. As soon as the unpacking process finishes, I moved the files back to the steam folder on the SSD, and the game launched fine. Hope I was of any help.
