Re: PLEASE HELP IM NEW TO SIMS 4

@PugLove888 Yeahh my mom is telling me to return it 😢 I mean ever since then i haven't opened Bluestacks and Sims Mobile and everything has been fine since (a little bit laggy but decent) but I know it's not gonna be good enough for Sims 4. ;-; Yeahh you're right i think it's because of my screen and all and the fact that it's meant to be only for mobile devices. 🤔 Used sims games? I never knew people sold used sims games 🤭

Thanks :eahigh_file: and yeahh ive tried to closed down the program but even closing down made it lag even more. I just don't touch that program anymore ;-; Im more focused on looking for anohter laptop and learning more on how to find a good laptop at a good price. So far i think these 3 computers are good but the reviews are concerning me;

1) https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/hp-15-6-laptop-jet-black-amd-a10-9620p-1tb-hdd-8-gb-ram-windows-10/12358337.aspx?

2) https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/hp-15-6-touchscreen-laptop-smoke-grey-amd-a9-9425-1tb-hdd-8gb-ram-windows-10/12567412.aspx?

The reviews on bestbuy are bad but i've looked up videos on how to look for a good afforable computer yet have good features for school stuff as well as games. From what i know I should look for 8GB RAM, SSDRAM, 1TB HDD, 1366 x768 res or 1920 x 1080

Ooo thank you for tagging your friend to help me :eahigh_file:

and omg those pictures are so cool!!! 😢❤️:eahigh_file:😃 Im so jealous 😢

@Moonlight_Love12, I'm sorry you have to return it, but at least that should allow you to get a better laptop!
Just be sure to never buy a used Sims4 game! 😮 Some people have spent money buying a used game only to find out that it was useless without the code 😢😠 , and the code can't be sold! I don't know if the person selling the used game didn't know this and it was an honest mistake, or if they did this on purpose just to gain a few bucks. 🤒 But these codes have to be used by EA to prevent pirating. However, if you buy your game online at the Sims Store on the official site, you don't have to worry. I got my base game at Game Stop, but all of my EPs, GPs; and SPs have been downloaded either through Origin (which launches the game and updates it for you) or downloaded from the Sims 4 Main Menu in the game! (Origin is part of EA).
I'm happy you have a few computers to choose from. 🙂 I hope @172e3cda00349872 can read all you are going through and has time to reply. 🤞 Most of us don't work for EA and just volunteer.
The only other thing I know is that you also need a pretty good graphics card to play the Sims4. Which graphic card requirements I don't know, but I think it might say what they are on the official Sims 4 site. But keep in mind that some other requirements (like memory) might need to be increased a bit if you eventually get all the packs.
Also, when you talk to a sales person about using the computer for games, I would specifically mention the Sims 4 in case they are familiar with it and its requirements.
I didn't mean to make you jealous! I was trying to satisfy your Sims 4 curiosity, not make you feel bad! ☹️ So I won't add anymore pictures unless you ask! But I will add that my avatar is of a Pug that I made when I got the Cats & Dogs EP! 🐶
Best of luck, and if you (or your Mom) have any more questions, we will try to help!
