Growing Together requires Win10?

Uh oh...*Frowns hard* I'm running Sims 4 on a very old "dino" computer that's still running Windows 7!!!

I've already pre-ordered GrT, now I don't know what's going to happen when I try to download and play it tomorrow...?

Now I am worried too, I have Windows 8.1 also.

Perhaps it says Win 10 in the specs because there is no longer support for older versions. Let's hope it's just the wording, but will still work :)

Hey all,

This Seems to just be mirroring the min spec of the base game. Base game "requires" Windows 10 as of October of 2022.

Your mileage may vary, but it may be time to update to Windows 10 if you're able.

I just did it and it let me know I needed to update my graphics card. But other than that, my computer checks out

Even if it will work, Windows 7 and 8 are no longer supported by Microsoft so it's really not recommended to keep using them.

What logion said. Windows has moved on and so has EA. There comes a point where it's inevitable.

In the past they've catered to old machines long enough that it was a detriment to newer ones. I sympathize with players who have older machines, but if a company wants to stay competitive in tech they have to keep moving forward.

So glad, now, that my computer can't handle Windows 11. I would have switched to that one. Instead, I still have Windows 10, which by the way I hate. But, now it's not so bad, right? If you're concerned you might want to talk to Tech about it.

So we might be quite many then... interesting. My app is still preparing for the pach, I suddenly wonder whether also the patch might want Win10...

One should think the App was intelligent enough to give us a wink if our systems are not up to it...

The patch didn't give me any problems, I haven't ordered it yet, now I am going to wait to see if anyone else has problems. I hope not, Every other pack up to now has been compatible with windows 8.1.
