Can Sims 4 be played on a tablet?

Title says it all. Anyone playing on a tablet or know if it can be?

  • Only a Surface would be able to handle the Sims, but it is unwise to game on one.

    You need a proper laptop with a dedicated GPU to be able to play the Sims.

    EDIT: Even though this is a resurrected thread... This is somewhat a relevant topic.
  • You could try it on the Surface...Ya know if you already owned one. The problem with it is that the Surface is more workhorse than gaming, and has integrated graphics. Integrated graphics can't safely or efficiently play high-performance games. Other than the Surface, there are no tablets that can even run a desktop operating system.

    No tablet has the right specs to safely run it tho

    Long story put short just for the op:

    Yes if you cant get your hands on any tablet running a normal version of widnow 8 built for 32 bit or 64 bit processors the game will run as it's a full blown windows machine, if you get Windows 8 RT its made purely for ARM processors and it wont run.


    Thanks. Didn't know that.

    If you had a Tablet that runs Windows 8 x32 version it should, the microsoft surface would be the best bet. It wont run under WIndows 8 RT though due to the ARM processor.
