Sims 4 isn't really a "heavy" game for laptops, my old laptop was much cheaper and 6 years old and it still ran the game fine on lower graphics. I think a lot of people have only played on PC and don't realise laptops really aren't that bad anymore.
@Onverser
They were never bad. They just cost a lot more because companies have to find a way to fit all that hardware in a small space while providing enough cooling for the parts not to melt.
Also many people buy expensive laptops without seeing the specs which is a terrible idea since many laptops are designed for business purposes and feature low voltage CPUs etc that thrive in a business environment but not in a gaming one.
Also laptops are still much more prone to damage due to the overheating issue stated by the others in this thread.
Also (probably not the case with you) but several people think they run the Sims 4 on ultra settings when the truth is they run ultra settings + laptop mode. Laptop mode decreases graphical quality so much that it's looks better to play in low settings with no laptop mode on than in ultra settings with laptop mode on. Many seem to not realize that and think that their laptops is some kind of cheap hardware god :lol:
Also I usually always bring up PCs because the person posting might not know how much cheaper and more powerful PCs are. I used to play the Sims on laptops for almost 6 years so I wish someone had told me earlier how much cheaper and smoother PCs are.
