It could probably manage the base game plus a couple of the earliest EPs. I would worry about the potential for overheating and can't say even that would be a great experience on low graphics settings. It's good that it has a dedicated graphics card, but that one is not strong enough to expect much more than that out of it. These are lightweight devices that are best suited for portability, note taking, school and some light office type functions, not graphics intensive games.

Desktops will always be cheaper for stronger components, but yes there are much better choices in that price range for TS3. They will tend to weigh more, though. Paging some shopping a systems experts.

I take it your friend is in the US?

Thank you for the insight, she found the laptop, so I'll let her know what you said. And yes, she's in the USA :)

What is their budget ? @chesterbigbird may need to help you. I have allot of things to do today.

For anyone who sees this, this is for my personal interest, will this laptop play it as well?

The video card is more powerful and you don't need to spend the money on a 1070 if your only playing the sims 3 . Are you playing other heavier games? A 1050 ti or a 1060 would be fine if your just playing the sims 3. This also has a very small SSD which is fine for booting windows on but not for gaming . The sims 3 loads allot quicker on ssd so you would be better off with a 500 gb ssd on c drive.

For just the sims 3

Video card Nvidia GTX 1050, 1050ti or 1060

Processor Intel i5 or i7 quad core which will end in HQ or MQ after the series number
8gb computer ram , 500 gb SSD, windows 64 bit
