The Sims 3 Compatibility on a Touch Screen Laptop(Windows 8)

I want to buy a new Laptop that runs Windows 8 and will be touch screen, but I want to know first if my game will work with it. Otherwise I will probably go with a non touch screen as I have read elsewhere that it runs fine on them. I just think it would be pretty cool to play Sims on a touch screen.

    Most programs work with touch screens. You're just simulating the mouse with your finger.

    Stuff like turning the view might be a little bit tricky on them though. So JUST touch screen might be a bit of an issue. 

    Makeing sure that you have a good graphics card in there is much more important. I would comeback here for a second opinion before buying anything. Search for something you like and then put the specs here.

    Then it should not be an issue.
