I'm looking to buy a new desktop.would this desktop run the sims 3 smooth and without lag at high settings? And would it also run the sims 4 at high settings? http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/detail....

I like how it looks, it has a big screen, I saw it at best buy in real life,it has beats audio,and it's a touchscreen.
1 - Will there be a probelm when playing the sims 3 like if I play it at low medium settings with mods,cc,patches,ep's etc?
2 - And if it's gonna run the sims 4 at low settings will it run it laggy when there's ep's,cc,etc in the future with low settings?
3 - do low settings have a huge difference with ultra in the sims 4?
4 - And is this a bad choice of pc for gaming?
Hello,
I have numbered your questions to make the answers simpler:
1 - For the most part, there probably won't be any problems with running The Sims 4 at low settings on this computer with the base game and EPs. However, CC can cause problems on any system, as not all CC is compatible with other ones. But even then, that computer still has integrated Intel HD graphics, which have caused problem with The Sims 4 in the past, namely the Deformed Baby bug that seemed to affect a number of Intel HD graphics owners. So I cannot say for certain that you won't have any problems.
2 - As EPs and patches are added, even higher end system will notice some performance loss. Because that computer has integrated graphics, and also how with The Sims 3, people with integrated graphics had very laggy, choppy gameplay when installing a number of EPs.
3 - The difference between Ultra and Low graphics settings are much smaller than they can be in other games, and probably not as bad as The Sims 3. But there is definitely a difference, but if you're more interested in the gameplay, I doubt it will be a large nuisance. Low settings still look good.
4 - Generally when we are talking about gaming systems, we are on about computers with dedicated graphics. Comparing the graphics requirements for The Sims 4 with other popular games released in the last two years, TS4 has lower minimum requirements. Therefore, I would say that this computer is not a good choice if the primary purpose is gaming, as you only have integrated graphics.
I hope this helps and keep simming,
