Re: Can I play Sims 4 on a Surface Laptop 3?
I have the same question
Forum Discussion
@JasonD716 The first group of laptops might be able to run Sims 4 on high settings, but I wouldn't say it's guaranteed. The settings you could use would depend on which expansions you installed, whether you added high poly (high-resolution) custom content and how much, other details relating to your playstyle, and other factors about the laptop itself.
As an example, all modern computer hardware will throttle performance to protect itself from overheating, but some laptops are tweaked to throttle at lower temperatures than others. It's very difficult to be sure exactly how a given system will behave until you have it in front of you. That's why I don't want to make promises a laptop might not be able to keep, especially when the laptop hardware is only borderline powerful enough for high settings under ideal conditions.
Not to complicate things further, but if you don't mind ordering from a store that ships from the U.S., this laptop has the same MX350 graphics card as the Asus Zenbook and is only slightly more expensive.

If you don't think any of these are quite what you want, you could always look again in a week or two. Inventory turns over quickly, and prices change as well.
@puzzlezaddict How high would the settings be on the latest asus link you posted and the Lenovo slim 7 like high or ultra
@JasonD716 I think high settings would work, but probably not ultra. It's hard to say for sure because so much depends on your playstyle and what you consider acceptable framerates. For example, more sims on the active lot, custom content on those sims, and more objects on the lot all increase the load the game is placing on the graphics card at that moment; with only a couple sims on a simply decorated lot, the MX350 might be able to handle ultra settings just fine. But since an Nvidia 1650 (mobile) is more than twice as fast in gaming, on average, as an MX350, you'd definitely notice a difference at some point.
