Re: How well will my laptop run sims 4??

@hollie1897 The hardware in that laptop should run Sims 4 on high settings without any trouble. If you don't have the most demanding expansion packs (essentially all EPs starting with Cats & Dogs), you might be able to turn a few settings up to ultra. Feel free to experiment a bit.

Just make sure the laptop can properly cool itself while you play. Elevate it—get a laptop tray or put books under the corners or something—or use a cooling pad. Excess heat will make the laptop throttle the hardware, which will lower performance.

@hollie1897 You should still be fine on high settings, although again, be careful not to let it overheat.

@_North_South_148 Total storage has almost nothing to do with how well a computer runs a game. As long as there's enough free storage, there shouldn't be any issues. A 256 GB hard drive is large enough for Sims 4, and 20 GB free should prevent any problems.
