sorry to ask more questions, but i was thinking about getting this one
https://store.acer.com/en-us/laptops/aspire-7-notebook-a715-41g-r7x4
it is one of the ones you linked but i just wanted to make sure it would handle the expansions and mods well
@alyssajadesim Yes, its hardware would run all current Sims 4 packs together on ultra settings, with some headroom to accommodate mods or high poly custom content. All the laptops I listed, except for the last one, have basically the same processor and graphics card, and so would run the game pretty much equally well, give or take some small differences in how the laptops are built and the manufacturers' driver support. (This is kind of hard to predict, but all the laptops should be more than fine.)
Unfortunately, it looks like the Acer is sold out right now. It will probably be back soon enough, but it's not clear from Acer's site when that will happen.
sorry i keep asking questions but my budget has dropped to under $600 because of a personal emergency, it only needs to be able to run the game packs and expansion packs and a couple stuff packs, and a good amount of mods/cc. i understand that most of the demands may not be met but could you tell me some good computers that are under $600
@alyssajadesim Would exactly $600 work? This one has an Nvidia 1650 and other suitable hardware. Although its hard drive is small, it's enough for Sims 4 and all associated content.

If you're willing to get a used laptop, something like this ($550) would run Sims 4 on medium-high or high settings, even with all packs installed:

The graphics card in this one is a bit slower, and the laptop is $30 cheaper:

For new options, this is the best one I saw for about $550; its integrated graphics card is slower than the ones above, but it should still handle medium settings quite well.

If you really want to save money and just want the game to work, this is a perfectly viable option ($450) for medium settings:
There are likely other similar options out there too; let me know if you'd like to see more of a particular type.
thank you so much!! this is very helpful. i think i am going to get one of these three
