Ideal Laptop for Sims 3
Hi Everyone. I want to buy myself a new laptop to play sims on. I have the base game world adventures, pets, island paradise, showtime, generations, late night, seasons, high end loft stuff and 70s ...
Thank you very much. It was very helpful information.Ive heard alot of good things about ASUS so I'm considering buying
ASUS Laptop 15 Intel Core i3 15.6" Notebook-Black
I hope that will work. Thank you very much
My country in South Africa and my budget is maximum R6000.
@Neethling7 I'm sorry, but you won't be able to find what you want for R6000. The laptops in that category might run the base game and a couple of early expansion packs, but Pets and Seasons would be entirely out of the question. Players with that kind of hardware find that it struggles mightily under the load, and many have to stop playing entirely.
I checked three different sites, and the cheapest option I could find that would run all Sims 3 packs was this one, for R12,000:
It doesn't even come with an operating system—you'd need to buy and install Windows 10 separately—but the rest of the hardware is sufficient. The graphics card is barely strong enough, but I have almost the exact same model in my laptop, and I don't have any trouble with TS3. (The processor and RAM are both above requirements.)
To give you an idea of what's out there, here are some other models I found that would be good enough:

Again, I wish I could find you a good laptop within your budget, but it's simply not out there.
