The sims 3 question

Hello,

You're welcome 😕mileyhappy:

Unless you have any further questions, it would be a good idea to make this thread 'solved' (choose one of my posts as the solution), and feel free to throw some XP if you think I've been especially helpful.

Thanks,

Hello,

Unfortunately you cannot easily upgrade that computer with the GTX 750 Ti. It is an all-in-one PC, which means it does not have the space available or the compatibility with that graphics card.

I hope this helps and keep simming,

Hello,

It would probably run The Sims 3 with all expansions at low-medium settings, and low settings in The Sims 4.

What about this?

This should be able to play the game at high settings in both The Sims 3 and The Sims 4, even when EPs and patches are added.

I hope this helps and keep simming,

Hello,

So what you're asking for is an "All-in-One" PC where all of the computer components are inside the screen's casing. And the short answer is that for $1000, you would not get an All-in-One PC that can play The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 at the highest settings with all the EPs and patches factored in.

This is probably the cheapest All-in-One that can do what you're asking:

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,
