@puzzlezaddict Hey thank you so much for responding. Wow i didn't think that the laptop i chose is that good it would be considered an overkill :o i knew it is decent but i thought it would just meet the recommended specs
in your opinion, do you think i should go for this laptop? Is it worth it? It is pretty expensive and it would be so annoying to buy it and regret doing it. Especially since some people experienced overheating problems. (I have a cooling pad with 4 fans built in it but i'm still worried)
And one more question, are all omen laptops prefect to do what i had mentioned in the original post or just the one i talked about specifically?
And thank you so much for taking the time to help me.
I don't have that model of laptop but I have about 70GB of CC for Sims4 and about 13GB for Sims3. I have both games on this laptop and I don't use it for much else. With the games etc installed I have used about 375GB (possibly more but I'm in the middle of a reinstall due to a weird error I have with the last update).
I know Sims5 is a long way off but I wanted something to invest in to be able to handle that too. I have:
Alienware M17 R4
Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10980HK CPU @ 2.40GHz
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
32GB RAM
2TB SSD.
I can tell you, it runs like a dream, all on the highest settings (3 & 4) and Sims4 loads in 60 seconds with 70GB CC. What you're looking at would easily handle it and have very minimal loading. If you have the finances for it and really want it. Go for it.
In regards to overheating, this is a problem for all laptops, but I bought a laptop cooler stand that you place your laptop on (was £20 on Amazon) and its perfect.
@foxybabyhg3 i looked up your laptop and it sounds great but had a bad experience with Dell in the past so this gives me war flashbacks lol
Ultra settings with 70gb of cc is the dream honestly.
I'm still on the fence about going for an Omen until getting a powerful cooling pad because the one i got recently is a joke
