My graphics card is: Intel(r) HD Graphics. I assume this isn't too great? I manage to run other games pretty well, albeit fairly old games (much like the Sims 2 actually.)
The game might play just fine.
BUT computers with Intel HD as their graphics "card" aren't designed for gaming. They aren't designed to deal with the heat. This is even more of an issue for a laptop. You'll lower the number of years you can expect the laptop to last
I played for about 6 weeks on a laptop with the following specs:
Windows XP
Intel Pentium M (740/750/760) (either 1.7, 1.8 or 2.0 GHz processor speed)
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (not even Intel HD)
512 MB of RAM
Played just fine and I'd stop when the laptop felt like it could cook an egg.
But one day it decided to not start anymore. While it only happened once, I got a new laptop shortly after and it was relegated to back up laptop. And then it failed me in that regard as it died on the same day as the replacement did. The fans wouldn't come on in all instances and laptops at least are coded to require the fans.
I wore out the fans in just 6 weeks of play. And most of those 6 weeks were not spent playing. The laptop lasted for about 4 years. It's replacement lasted about 10 years (power port died). I didn't play on it that often or for that long when I did.
