Updated plugins

Hi
what does Memory Leakage Prevention mean?
And if I replace, all the newer version of plugins ,which have just be released, will I have to put all the settings back in to Sims tool again ?
Or can I just install though Sims updater, and that will override previous plugin and leave settings, I had for it thanks Dom

Hi! Memory leakage refers to a situation where software incorrectly allocates memory usage. Usually the problem is that memory is allocated for use by a particular software and then is not returned for use once the program has finished with it. Those memory locations are now like “dead” memory locations because the offending program no longer uses them but they are also unusable by other programs too because they are still allocated for use only by the offending software. Memory leaks may or may not be a problem for you though based on how you use your computer, how much memory you have, and how bad the leak is. It may take days, weeks, or longer before all your memory appears to your computer to be used up. If you restart your computer often or before this happens, you will probably not even know that you have a memory leak situation. Often what happens though is you will start getting errors with your operating system because it begins lacking enough memory to run properly.

I don’t know the answer to your other questions though because I haven’t tried it myself yet!

@value1 , can you help with this?

The settings are remaining as you configured them, so there's no need to make new settings.
Previous (old) plugins are overwritten without changing any of your settings.
You must install the new plugin true the plugin updater.

thanks everyone for your help , it will save me a lot of time Dom
