@Tasha79 If you'd like, I can look for other laptops for you. Just list your budget and country, as well as any other considerations that matter to you.
For what it's worth though, an Nvidia 1050 should be fine on a mix of high and ultra settings. I've played Sims 3 on a graphics card that's a bit slower and managed ultra settings with no issues. I did reduce the in-game resolution somewhat, which didn't affect the quality for me, but I never noticed any performance issues and had high enough framerates that I needed to use a tool to limit them manually.
Having said that, you could probably do better than a 1050, at least from the prices I've seen recently. An Nvidia 1650 is significantly faster, and laptops with a 1650 start at a similar price, sometimes even cheaper. Let me know if you want to see some options.
