The suspect that the problem is that you are trying to build your RAM4K in the same directory where you have your smaller RAMs.  Because each RAM in the hierarchy is 8 times the size of the previous RAM, they get huge rather quickly and exceed the capability of the simulator.

For this reason there are two subdirectories under project/03.  project/03/1 is where you build the memory chips up to RAM64.  project/03/2 is where you build RAM512 and larger chips.  Make sure that there are no HDL files for the smaller chips in the project/03/2 directory.
