Laptops to play the sims 3 & 4

Hi

I am looking for a laptop (under £800) that plays both the sims 3  & 4 well with multiple packs. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

As you can now also play the sims 2 I would also be looking to do this also.

Thank you!

  • lucyhw​  There are plenty of gaming laptops in this range.  Good-quality laptops with an RTX 3050 graphics card, capable of running all these games, all current packs included, on ultra graphics settings, start around £700, and an upgrade to a 4050 is only a bit more.  So I'll list what I think are the best options, but if none of them are quite what you want, let me know why, and I may be able to find something else within your budget that better fits your preferences.

    These have an RTX 3050 and therefore should all run these games roughly the same.  The second one has the brightest screen, and the third one's screen has better reviews than the first.  But then the first is cheaper, and you might not care about brightness if you never play in a fully-lit room.

    These have a 4050, with the second one being no better than the first other than the 16" screen, that is if you're interested in a larger screen.  The first two are a bit better in terms of build quality than the third, but the third is also more than fine.

    Hi, thank you so much for this, sorry it took me so long to see it - clearly not good at figuring out these forums! Would you happen to know if it's worth looking for something cheaper for the sims 2, 3 and 4 to run on and if so what? Or is it not worth it and I'll stick with these as I want it to be long lasting. 

    Again, thank you as this is perfect for what I need it to run with the packs etc. 

  • lucyhw​  Sorry for the late reply; I've been away from the forums for a while.  If you're still shopping, please confirm your current budget and any other details that matter at the moment.
