Out of curiosity, would you buy a new computer just to play The Sims?

I'm shocked to say the least from your responses.
not judging, just thought it would be 100% NO.

Why did you think that @Yardenro? I think you underestimate how much people love this game!

I bought a new one recently even though there was absolutely nothing wrong with my 3-year-old HP - apart from the fact that it couldn't run The Sims 4 very well. I tried to convince myself that I really wasn't buying that €1000+ laptop just to play one game - I have always wanted to play games like GTA V and story-based games like The Walking Dead, so it was just me wanting to game in general, not just me wanting to play TS4... that's what I told myself. I did buy these games and also played them... for a bit. The Sims, on the other hand, I've been obsessed with ever since I bought this gaming laptop. :sweat_smile: Still telling myself "you just wanted to experience gaming in general" but really... it's probably a yes haha.

However, I wouldn't spend too much on it. No more than the €1200 I spent on this one - originally didn't want to go above a thousand, so I already went over budget a bit. I start thinking of all the drinks and clothes and make-up I could buy with those "few" hundred bucks extra and with that in mind, I do consider it a bit of a waste. Also, if with future updates this laptop would no longer be able to play on Ultra, I'd still stick with it. If it has trouble running TS5 in a few years, I'll still stick with it...
I think. :sweat_smile:

I did ask my mom for new parts back in the day. Now, if my computer couldn't play the latest Sims game, it probably wouldn't play most new games either, so I might as well invest in something that works.

I’ve done it already... and I would do it again

I like to "game" so it's not just the Sims but if it started failing to play I'd have to seriously upgrade or buy a new one.

No, to be accurate I build instead of buy a manufactured one, and the games I play have much higher requirements than Sims games.
So my sims games just benefit from the other games I play. I recently built a new one.

I wouldn't even consider it. I'm glad it came to consoles! Now they just need to add stuff like the ability to share.

Well I recently bought an MSI Aero 1080 gpu during the big holiday sales, so... sure? It wasn't intended specifically for Sims 4 but it sure runs like a dream on it since I've used it. :D I'd say upgrading my PC was worth it anyway. Trying to hold off as long as I can before having to buy a new one though.

Yep, I had to. The game was awfully laggy and wasn't able to play on ultra high res.
