@Simsfan8989 Your hardware is more than strong enough to run the game with no issues at all. What I'm saying is, stuff happens with software (not hardware) that can make the game not run as well as it should. But software issues are almost always fixable. So if you do have a problem, it's probably software-related; ask here, and someone will help you fix it.
Hello @puzzlezaddict
my new pc arrived.
I just checked my stats...
my OS (c🙂 is 476 GB
my installed ram says 16.0 GB (15.8 GB useable)
is this going to be enough for the sims 4 and all the packs?
i read somewhere and people are saying it needs 24GB to run all games. Im worried i mite not have enough?

@Simsfan8989 Your specs are way over the top for Sims 4. The minimum requirement for memory is 4 GB RAM, and 8 GB is enough. The minimum requirement for storage is 15 GB for the base game, or about 40 GB for the base game plus all packs, and you'd want some extra space on your C drive to make sure Windows has enough room to maneuver. 20 GB free at all times is sufficient.

@puzzlezaddict Thank you
so my storage will be ok for all the packs and future games?

@Simsfan8989 Your storage will be more than fine for anything Sims 4 releases, and in all likelihood Sims 5 as well. (We can't know for sure, of course, but we can guess.) New Sims 4 expansions are around 1.5 GB each, game packs are under 1 GB, and stuff packs are even smaller. So even with a pile of new packs coming out in the future, the entire game would probably only end up requiring 50-60 GB. Sims 5 will likely end up requiring more—Sims 3 is about 30 GB total—but even if the size doubles again, you'll still be fine.
