Re: Will Sims 3...

I can't really say yes or no (sorry!) but I'll tell you what I found and I'll ask the other helpers to pitch in as wel.

Over here I found this comment:


I currently have a Compaq Presario CQ57 and it worked great when I only had the Sims 3. But when I bought Ambitions and Latenight it started to run slow but still playable. Then, I bought Generations and it's ridiculously slow. I just bought Seasons but I'm definitely not interested in installing it on this laptop because it's obvious it can't handle the games. I looked up the specs and found out that my laptop has 1.4 GHZ (No wonder it was so slow ! :o  ) So basically I'm looking for a laptop that can perform well with the expansions I have ( Sims 3, Ambitions, Latenight, Generations, Seasons & Im planning on buying Pets soon) while staying relatively in my budget ( $400). I've looked on various posts and I just thought I'll post my info up to get some assistance because I really miss playing my games its been way to long lol I also want to be about to video chat because I also use Oovoo.

Does anybody have any suggestions on which laptop I should get? I'm willing to up the price to $500 but it'll have to be worth it.

Then I also found something on Yahoo: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130324222233AAh6xIH

 

From what I can see, it probably won't run the greatest.

 

Why don't you try see what it says here? http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri Just put Sims 3 in the game and see what it says.

  • Aha! Thank you so much! Your a big help, I will only be buying 2 expansion packs anyway so then it wont run so slow hopefully :D 

    You have been a big help for me, when I do get a new laptop I will make sure it has lots of space then maybe want to buy more expansion packs, I will contact EA about this just incase, but thank you so so so so much! :catvery-happy:
