You have enough cpu and ram. Its your graphics. The Intel card does not run the game. Is this a laptop or PC? If PC you could change the graphics card. you would have to do research on what graphics cards will work with your computer should you want to switch the card out. AMD and Nvida med to higher level vidoe cards work better for this game.
It's a laptop.( Dell )
if it's a laptop you would not be able to switch out the graphics. You are actualy the 4th person this week having intel card issues. Your card is not designed for gaming and in the end this game could ruin your card. It would be up to you if you want to still try and play the game .What do you have game settings as? you might want to try putting you game graphics on low. Also there are some Expantion packs that are more demanding. Like Pets, Into The Future, Seasons and Island Paradise. If you have these installed try removing them one by one to see if your game will play better.
Also I don't like telling people this but for the future if you want to play the sims4 and other newer games you might want to think about purchasing a newer computer. One that can handle the newer games with a good graphics card.
