You will even have issues playing the sims 3 on the 256 gb ssd without having a second hard drive. The game will just get larger and larger. You may have already done damage to that laptop if your having heat problems trying to run the game on that laptop. It has no cooling for the heat the game will cause from gaming. It will stress out your laptop

If I get a cooling pad will that allow me to at least play sims 4? obviously not doing hours upon hours in one go but at least 1hr maybe of play? if I can get the Graphics Card to stay at around 50-60c ? I'm not sure how long it'll be before I can sell my current laptop or how much I can even get for it which I imagine won't be much. I actually love this laptop so much and really don't like the weight and look of gaming laptops so it's going to be annoying and upsetting getting rid of it...
Part of me just wants to get a desktop because imo if your laptop is as heavy as a gaming laptop, it's not really that portable at least not for me anyways.

I'm struggling not to play sims right now lol :( currently using an old laptop to attempt to play sims 3 and it is lagging like crazy - it's got an Intel Celeron Processor N2840 and 1000 GB HDD with a Intel HD Graphics card, so basically it's awful for playing sims but I guess it's better than potentially destroying my nice expensive laptop.
