Re: Sims 4 on HP stream 11 options
@tiaabraham152 The hard drive in your new computer isn't large enough for even the Sims 4 base game, so yes, you'll need to install it on an external drive or USB stick. You may need to redirect the downloadcache to the external drive as well, although try downloading the normal way first.
SD cards are not as fast as other storage, and for a game that's going to need to exchange large amounts of data with your hardware in real time, an SD card isn't a great choice.
Having said that, I don't know that you'll have a good experience playing on this laptop. Running the game from any kind of external storage is going to be slower than if it were installed internally. The processor and graphics chip in the Stream 11 are also quite weak for Sims 4, so much so that you might see performance issues even on the lowest graphics settings. You can certainly try to play anyway; I'm just saying don't be surprised if you run into issues.
