@puzzlezaddict I want to play the Sims 2 and 3, but if you only have experience in the Sims 3, I would be interested in knowing what you have as advice.

@xxlMarii As a rule of thumb, if it can run The Sims 3, it will most likely run The Sims 2 since the game is much lighter, so Puzzlez' suggestions are pretty solid for TS2 as well.
I do have a laptop with Intel Xe Graphics which runs TS2 Ultimate Collection very well on Windows 11, and I used to own one with Intel UHD Graphics where the game would occasionally stutter, but nothing that made the game unplayable. It should run on AMD integrated graphics as well, but I have seen reports of longer loading times on AMD graphics.
Whatever you pick, you will have to apply certain fixes, such as Graphics Rules Maker, to run TS2 on modern hardware. There is no way around that since the game has not been updated since 2008.
