Playing on a Surface Pro 3

I’m looking to get a surface pro 3. Would it be possible to play the Sims 4 on it with all the expansions I own?

My expansions-
Get together
Get to work
Cars and dogs
City living
Seasons
Dine out
Spa day
Vampire
Outdoor retreat
Parenthood
Perfect Patio
Romantic Garden
Vintage Glamour
Backyard stuff
Spooky stuff
Holiday Free Pack


Could you also put it in laymen’s terms lol? I’m not very good with computer hardware.

  • It's theoretically possible to run TS4 on a surface pro 3, but it wouldn't be pretty. Literally—it only has an integrated graphics card, which won't be able to effectively handle rendering the visual effects of Seasons, Cats and Dogs, and whatever you add next. You'd need to turn your options down and might still have some issues. The processor meets the minimum specs but is below recommendations, so it would likely struggle with the load of those packs as well. Plus, the surface pro line doesn't have sufficient cooling for even a moderately taxing game like TS4. The game could overheat the computer to the point of damaging its hardware.

    If you want an expert opinion on what kind of computer to buy, your best bet is to post in the TS4 Technical Issues section of AHQ. List your budget and country, as well as anything else important to you (like if you need your computer to be a laptop). The tech help section of these forums is closed; this is the TS3 section.
