Which laptop is best to run sims 4 with all expansion packs + CC?
I’m having trouble deciding which laptop to buy that will run only sims 4 with all expansion packs and some CC. I love Lenovo laptops just because it’s what I’m used to and they run amazing for school projects and hold storage well. I’m looking for a laptop that can hold sims 4 with minimal lagging and buffing. I also want the graphics to be decent at least. My budget is between $400-$700. For my budget, I would like to know what laptop is best for the sims 4? I-don't usually play any other games other than Roblox but or some small horror games. Other than that I will just use the laptop for my college courses. I’m stuck between these 2 laptops.

Everytime I go on the app, it just freezes, I can’t move my mouse or do anything, and I have to always turn off my laptop in order to get off it. Is there anyway to fix it? Please let me know.
Last exception triggered by small business
Hi, ever since the latest patch, i can't seem to open my small business without triggering last exception. I suppose this is because of i have alot of CC. The only mod i have currently is MC command centre + woohoo and better exceptions. I have tried the half half method where I delete half the CC to try to detect the problem CC, but it seems like every time i start the game anew, the problem gets tripped again, and i cant tell which CC it is. I have CC installed manually and through TSR CC manager (I'm not sure where these files go on windows). I'm not sure whether it is related. But ever since the last patch, customers won't stay at the business either. They come in and then walk straight back out. My small business is a cat cafe, and before the patch, sims would stay longer to play with the cats but this no longer happens. This seems to be the only business with this issue. I'm playing on a Windows laptop. Please help!

"Your Game Failed to Launch"
I wanted to play today and I keep getting this message: Your Game Failed to Launch. Error On Our End. I tried to close the app and re-open it. It didn't work. I also tried to restart my computer. I also tried to run the EAUpdater.exe. and it said the app is already updated. I tried to repair the game but it goes up to 2% then it restarts at 0% and then I get a fail message. I can't even go to help.ea to try to contact EA support as the page stays blank Can anyone help, please? Thank you!
New PC - is a Gaming PC needed these days?
I'm looking for a new stationary PC as my current is pushing 9 years - Win 8.1 with plenty of disc space but no dedicated video RAM and probably a stone-age integrated video card. My huge 2014 save still works fine when I stay on just one lot, but loading, saving and traveling etc gets very annoying as it means wasting lots of simming time. Aaand, the game occasionally lags when there are background operations like launching/announcing a new holiday or NPCs entering the hood etc. No surprise on such an old machine. I just replaced my old laptop (which is not for gaming) and find it practical to upgrade the stationary now, to get the same Windows version on both. So, I'm wondering what is the most important to look for in a new PC? The Sims is the only bigger game played, other tasks are minor home office work including simple photo editing and some video editing/OBS captures etc, which also begs me to say goodbye to Win 8.1 but probably will not demand much extra beyond a new standard pc. I'm now wondering if I really need a "gaming pc" for The Sims, such machines aims for games I think are much more tech demanding. Will this game still run smoothly with all packs and some cc, on a regular new office computer? I've been simming since T1 and spend hours on the game, so I think it might be time to level up a bit to enjoy the game on max settings. What are the particular factors I should pay notice to? i3, i5, i7 etc is all confusing, I understand the highest numbers are the best technically, but this game might not benefit from the top notch tech anyway? What video card is recommended (not thinking of what cards will work, but what will give me a top The Sims experience without going much beyond what is needed? I'm currently on a Lenovo feat. integrated AMD, and somehow I think AMD suits TS4 well, but I have no idea why I think so, and these things might have changed. Maybe getting a dedicated vid RAM will probably make for a huge improvement? There's always a budget, and the PC will mostly be used for text/spreadsheets and ordinary web stuff, which makes a gaming rig feel a bit over the top. I found a few options that I can afford: Alt 1. Aorus Z260CR Gaming pc, some specs are: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050, 16GB DDR4 RAM. (Somehow I feel this is a bit over the top for TS4, or?) Alt 2. Ordinary pc; Acer Aspire XC-840 stationary PC, 4 x Intel® Pentium® Silver N6005-processor, 8 GB 2-chanels DDR4 RAM, 256 GB SSD-storing. Alt 3. Compact LOQ Tower gaming PC, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 8 GB, Intel® Core™ i5-13400F, 512 GB M.2 NVMe SSD, Intel® B760-brikkesett. Not in a super hurry, but maybe this Black Friday would be a good time for shopping. Knowing what I should most definitely be looking for or avoid would help a lot. Thanks for all input.
Frozen sims
Ever since yesterday morning, anytime I set my sims to do a task, they work for a few seconds before freezing in place. Arms at their sides, eyes vacant of all life. If I open the options panel, they spring back to life and return to their task for another burst of 2 seconds and then freeze again. I don't currently have any mods installed so it's not a mods issue. Anyone come across anything like this?
Game immediately freezes on startup
Any time I try to open the game, it freezes. 9 times out of 10, it just freezes immediately as soon as the application opens. Occasionally, it will actually load to the title screen, but as soon as I click on something, it will freeze. The music will play, I can still move my cursor, but the screen itself will freeze, and I can't interact with anything. I just end up having to open Task Manager and force-stopping the game. I have removed all mods, cleared my cache, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, restarted my computer-all of this multiple times over, and yet none of it has worked. I already have over 180 hours logged, and I know for a fact my computer meets the requirements to run the game-in fact, I've run the game on less advanced hardware than what I currently have, and have never faced an issue like this. I'm not sure why this is happening all of a sudden, and I am at a complete loss on what to do.
household loads for a few seconds and then the game closes
(The worst update in years?) I was about to play the game as always but when I loaded my home unit, for a few seconds the game closed, I have tried everything from removing all the mods to generating a new folder in documents, in the end the problem was with the saved game BUT, I have not had any interaction with the last expansion pack. Honestly, I think it was one of the worst updates in years.
Jungle Adventure looks like broken CC
The jungle adventure add-on looks like broken cc in the build/buy menu. I've tried the "repair" button on the EA app and uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing works. It's been like this since I got the pack months ago and no other pack I've gotten before or after this has had this issue. Please helpThe sims wont lauch just opens EA
Every time I have tried to open the Sims4 for the past week it has got to the loading screen then shut down and opened the EA app, I have tried following all advice I've seen for this issue online with no success and have run a dxdiag which I have attached below. Any help would be much appreciated.

My Sims 4 hasn't loaded for more than a week... Can somebody help me?
Last time I played was more than a week ago, and it went all pretty normal. I saved as always, and hours later, when I went back to play the game, it would automatically close when it reached the loading screen. I have tried resetting my computer, resetting the EA app, signing out and loging in, desinstalling and installing the game again, clear the cache, leaving the game some time, removing the last saves, repairing the game in the EA app... Nothing works and I really don't know what to do anymore, I have already reported the problem a few times to the EA app and no response or anything. Can somebody help me?😭 By the way, sorry if I'm not very clear, English isn't my first language. 😞Game Crashes since buying Business expansion
Since purchasing the sims business expansion my game keeps crashing once i open it. I have spoken with EA support who firstly offered me a refund but told me to wait 72hours, then now wont offer a refund but instead sent me two articles which I have followed both and tried all their fixes. (Reinstalling, Bio's changes, clearing cache, no mods installed etc) Anyone else having this issue? I can't play the game anymore.
