The Sims 4 Realm of Magic Question

I just saw the trailer for Realm of Magic and it looks good. I just have one question about it. I saw a bird/phoenix appear and was wondering if this is like Cats&Dogs (1st Pet Stuff) and Island Living? I am just worried because I can't play the above games on my laptop and I would really like to play this upcoming game on my laptop  and not just on my Aunt's computer, which I can only play when she is either at work or gone for the weekend/week

Thank you for taking the time to help me out. Have a great week.

  • @Sakura1979 Not likely. Cats & Dogs, and Island Living were Expansion packs, this new Magic one is only supposed to be a Game Pack, which will be smaller.

    Whether you can play it on your laptop or not... We can't say.

    @Sakura1979, Please do not post in such a large font size in the future. This is similar to typing in all caps, and comes across as shouting -- it is also against the rules. 🤭

    I checked all over for the system requirements on this, as did a friend, but we couldn't find any yet.😞  Likely this is due to them not being quite finished with it yet.  Keep an eye open as that may change.  But like @Psychotps  stated, you probably won't be able to play it on a laptop.  Laptops aren't really for serious gaming anyway, so this will probably be an issue with any Game Pack and certainly the Expansion Packs in the future. 😢 Stuff Packs might be ok, depending on the pack and your specific laptop, and what you have on your laptop as well! 🤨  At least you have an Aunt who is kind enough to let you play on her computer! 😇

    Thank both for your help. I am sorry about the largeness of the front as I was trying to find one that I could read, and I have changed it and I will do a preview before posting next time.

    What I getting is that it may or may not work but it has better chance then the three games that I posted about? Sorry as I am posting this through a headache. Except for the new stuff pack (and the 3 games I posted about) are working fine on my laptop even though it is slightly slow. 

    Thank you once again for your help and patience.

    @Sakura1979, that's alright! We all make mistakes! 😳 I just wanted to give you a heads up for any future posts you might make.  The size you changed it to is just fine! 🙂 (Font sizes can be a bit wonky on here anyway -- every time I paste some text here, it makes it really , really small and then I try to change it back to the regular size; someties that works, sometimes it remains super small, and other times it makes the text really large ! 😞 )  

    Well, about Realm of Magic, it is a Game Pack which is larger than My First Pets (Stuff Pack) but smaller than both Cats & Dogs and Island Living, which are both Expansion Packs.  So, there is a chance it could work , but again that all depends on your actual laptop, what other stuff you have on the laptop, and the actual system requirements will end up being for Realm of Magic, which we don't know at this point. 🤔

    One thing that might help your performance on your laptop is the settings you have for your game.  Here is a video from Carl's Sims 4 Guide that explains this very well.  It might be of some help in your situation. 🤞  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNRwNppTkVc 

    Best of luck! 🤞
