Re: Can I play the sims 4 deluxe edition on my laptop
Unfortunately it looks like this can only run the Legacy version. It has a modified ARM processor that is not very powerful.

Thanks for letting me know! I’m planing on buying a desktop soon would the iMacs be able to play the new packs? No point in buying a computer that can’t do everything I want.
- @Anastacia510 windows and macs different commputer systems and the hardware is different for windows you will have to buy sims 4 and it packs for windows pc and for mac you have to buy sims 4 and packs for mac. also apple make macs while microsoft makes windows. yes macs would play sims 4 but i got be sims 4 mac including it packs for macs. also windows 11 will be coming out and macOS 12 Monterey for macs. if you wait this fall when the newer os comes out
@Anastacia510 A current iMac, either one with an M1 chip or one of the slightly older 27" models with an Intel CPU, should run Sims 4 on high if not ultra graphics settings, all packs included. You may want to wait until the new Apple chip comes out, which will hopefully be in November—these chips are rumored to be more powerful than the M1 by a significant margin.
When you own Sims 4 in Origin, you have the ability to download both the Windows and Mac versions of Sims 4.
@sim31984 You do NOT need to purchase the Mac version of Sims 4 separately, either the base game or any packs. And there's no reason to wait until a new operating system is released: Macs and Windows PCs with current hardware will both easily support macOS Monterey and Windows 11 when they're released.
