Re: Will this laptop run sims 4?

@hannahsmartxo  This laptop would probably run Sims 4, but only on low graphics settings, and you would probably not get good performance even then.  And if this laptop is within your budget, you could do better.

For example, these two have the same internal hardware, which should run the game on medium settings:

If you're willing to spend £400, these two have significantly better processors and graphics chips, ones that are roughly equivalent and that should run the game on at least medium-high if not high settings:

There aren't a lot of good options for £400, but if you're looking for something in particular that the above laptops don't have, let me know what that is, and I'll check a few other sites.

And if you have more questions, please feel free to ask.

    @hannahsmartxo Just a quick note. It would be a very good investment to get some kind of cooling pad for under the laptop. Laptops work HARD to run SIMS4 and will often get quite hot, which will wear it out much quicker. Just from personal experience and advice given too late...
