I play on a Lenovo i5 quad core 8 gig ram 1 tb hard drive. My hubby upgraded my ram i think i have 12 now not sure oh and this is a laptop. I run all packs except for Island paradise and Into the future. I have those just decided when i reloaded sims 3 i didn't want them this go around. I have loads of cc also. The game runs fine on my pc i have had this laptop for 2 years now i bought it on Amazon for 540.00.
What does it have for a graphics card? That's the piece of the prior post's Ideapad that would potentially be holding it back.
Lenovo is "just" a brand name. The company makes lower end, middle, and top of the line models for both laptops and desktops like most other major computer manufacturers. We can't really give a system credit or take much away for having a certain brand name or not when assessing expected game performance and of course some players will find that their games perform better than expected, some not as well.
It's not entirely typical for a $540 laptop plus the cost of the RAM upgrade to be able to run all (or almost all) EPs quite that well, so I would have to say you have been fortunate with that one. And, of course, different players have different play styles and expectations within the game so no two of us really put our computers under the same load as each other even though we are all playing the same game here.
