Pc/laptops that work without Legacy edition.
So I’ve been looking for laptops or Pcs that are $300-$400 so that I didn’t have to use Legacy edition like my current Mac laptop. But I’ve only found a few laptops that I think are good but they are 600-700 and the few that I have seen that are around my amount I Just don’t know if I should get one or not. 1. Acer Aspire 5 2. Acer Nitro 5, but I haven’t looked at any PCs tho.
@apathetictoof The first one you listed is better than any I saw for under $600 while looking just now. I have seen that particular laptop for exactly $600 before, so if you see it for that price again, it would be an excellent choice. But right now, it looks like the cheapest price for a new laptop with an Nvidia 1650 is about $670.
The best laptop I saw for $600 is this one, with an Nvidia 1050. It's slower than a 1650 but should still manage ultra or a mix of high and ultra settings. The processor is also weaker than the one you saw but should still be good enough for whatever you want to do in Sims 4. The laptop also has a 512 GB solid state drive, which is enough space for most people.

Other than that, the available laptops generally have a low-end dedicated graphics card, or a high-end integrated card, which would still be slower than the dedicated cards. This one is $550 and has a dedicated card capable of high or medium-high settings, plus a good enough processor and a 512 GB hard drive.
Of the options with integrated cards, this Acer is the best one I've seen, although it would still be slower than those above. Its integrated graphics chip should handle medium or medium-high settings without a problem though.

And just to be clear, none of these would need the Legacy Edition.
If you have more questions, please feel free to ask.
