Re: Can a Dell G3 15 Gaming Laptop Run Sims 3 + Expansions?

@MeghanArnold94  A new Dell G3 15 gaming laptop should be able to run all Sims 3 packs on ultra graphics settings even at the base-level configuration.  You'd want to manually cap in-game framerates to protect your graphics card from overworking itself, but that's true of any computer capable of running Sims 3 on ultra settings.  (I can help with that process if you want, once you get a new computer; just ask.)

Windows 10 still runs 32-bit programs, as well as all the runtimes that Sims 3 uses, so any computer running a full version of Windows 10 is technically capable of running Sims 3 as well.  That's not the only factor, of course, but between Windows and the hardware in this laptop, you should be fine.

    Thanks so much for all the info! Ended up making the purchase 🙂 I’m sure I’ll definitely need some guidance with the graphics card, once the laptop arrives- I haven’t owned a PC in years, so it’ll all be new to me again. Thanks again!
