Can I run the game smoothly?
Okay, I’m sorry in advance for these really stupid questions, but:
I recently got a new computer that’s specifically for gaming. My old computer ran Sims 4 fine, but it lagged a bit. And I could never even dream of playing the Sims 3 on it. Now, with my new computer, the Sims 4 runs like a dream. I never knew the game could be so smooth! But I’m starting to really miss the Sims 3, since Sims 4 still feels so empty.
However, with the laptop I used to play Sims 3 on, the game eventually became unplayable (I’m not sure why; I guess it was too many mods). I would tell a sim to do something and it took 3-4 real world minutes for them to do it. It was a nightmare.
My questions are: with this new computer, can I play the game as smooth as the Sims 4 with all the expansions + mods (I would like to manage at least 20GB of CC, which is how much CC I have for Sims 4)? And can I have Sims 3 and 4 installed at the same time and not experience lag? I’ve calculated how much GB both Sims games will take up (including CC) in addition to some other large games I’ve bought, and I’ll only have about 140 GB free if I install them all. Is that enough free space?
Or is the lag more of a built-in feature of the game, lol? I know people complain about Sims 3, but I could never determine how bad it really was, since my lag was mostly the result of having a bad computer.
Anyway, my specs are:
Processor: Intel Core i7-9750h CPU @ 2.60GHz
RAM: 16GB (2x8GB)
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti (6GB)
Also, side note, I know very little about computers. So sorry, again, if the answers to these questions are really obvious. I'm just not sure.
