Intel HD 4000 Graphics Card

Has anyone who plays the sims and has an intel hd graphics card ever had any problems with it?  I'm about to buy a new laptop but almost every laptop has intel hd graphics unless i want to spend almost $1000 and that isn't happening.

    Intel has only made a "video card" one time, about 1998, and it was a disaster.  They only make integrated solutions, not "CARDS" at all.  If you have such a poor selection where you shop, you need a better shopping venue.  There are plenty of AMD and nVIDIA mobile cards out there in reasonably priced laptops.  If you are shopping for lowball $500-600 price points, that's your fault.  Game machines require more cooling, better input devices, and real graphics.  Those things don't come free, like Intel's tinker toy version of video does.
