Remember The Sims 2 requires a dedicated graphics card Nvidia or AMD.
It doesn't require it. I wouldn't recommend it if there's an option to afford a computer with a dedicated card.
I played for years on a desktop with an integrated graphics card and did not have any major issues with Sims 2. Don't remember what my settings were, but they weren't high. And I had everything. Computer did not get a dedicated card until around the time Sims 3 was released. The only thing I can remember was it took forever and a day for the buy clothes or change hairstyle/makeup things to pop up as my game had to work to get those rendered. And I do remember that I did notice the change in graphics when I did install the actual graphics card, but not in regards to reduced lag.
The computer died at around 5.5 years of mechanical hard drive failure.
@Rhiannon58 Just be mindful of the heat the game generates. Integrated cards aren't designed for gaming and don't have the cooling for it. Laptops compound that issue with the lack of air space for heat to move to instead of to the other components.
