@livingforwards That's a good laptop, and an excellent price for an Nvidia 1650 ti. I hope you enjoy it.
One thing you'll want to do when you install Sims 3 is take steps to manually limit the in-game framerates. A 1650 ti is fast enough to generate fps well into the hundreds if not capped, as is any current graphics card that can run the game well at all, and it's better for your laptop not to have that constant heavy load, or the heat it produces. It's easy enough to limit fps—although the first tool doesn't always work, there are plenty of other apps you can try. Here's an excellent post on how to cap framerates on an Nvidia card:

Depending on what driver is installed on the laptop, there may also be a Max Frame Rate setting in the Nvidia Control Panel under Global options, which you can use if vertical sync alone isn't enough. If you have any questions about setting up one or another of these tools, just ask.
