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.
I don't understand. My game worked just fine after installing Island Paradise ☹️
I have all the "demanding" expansion packs ...
BTW, i can't change my game graphics to low. BECAUSE THE GAME WONT OPEN. Or is there another way to change the game settings?
Im not sure maybe another helper in here knows a way to lower your graphics if you can't do it from the launcher. If you own all those demanding expantion pakcs try removing one at a time and see if your game will play, but the demanding ep's requrie a better gaming video card.
Could you name a good video card for laptops? 😕mileyhappy:
You can't change a laptop video card but you can on a desktop. Were you interested in buying a new laptop or desktop? The thing is a good gaming laptop is more expensive that a desktop. Once you buy a laptop your stuck with it cant change a thing accept the laptops that permit you to add more ram. One thing I can advise is do not get a laptop with intel graphics. There are people in here having trouble with dual graphics cards beacuse one of those cards is intel. AMD and Nvidia graphics are better and some AMD and Nivida are better than lower AMD and Nvidia..I can post a link in here but You can google ---Mod the Sims 3 system requirements. They have a lot of video cards tested and which ones work and some listed that do not just so you can get an idea. In general the better the video card the more money that card will cost.
