Playing my Sims like never before!

Like a whole new world, isn't it? ? I felt that same euphoria when I got my new pc last year, an upgrade from an old laptop, and loading was a non-issue. Graphics were turned up to max and the game was so vibrant now! Loved it.

Enjoy your new and improved simming experience!

@Bonjourwoman i'm on the market for a new computer too. Can you be so kind to let me know the specs you chose?

@CherryBerryCloud can you also let me know your specs?

Awww, that's nice to hear. My PC is from Nov 2019, not quite worn out yet and plays the game nicely enough.

I had the same with my new pc, I switched from playing the game on HDD to SSD and loading is SO much faster. I also have a more powerful CPU, which also helps a lot. I haven't been able to get a new GPU, because they're difficult to get atm, but the one I had plays the game on ultra anyway, so it works well enough for ts4.
My old pc did run the game just fine, but had gotten slower under all the years of more and more dlc.

LOL. Will be completely laughable if you couldnt...

I was playing on a ten year old computer before I bought this acer predator in march and I absolutely LOVE LOVE this computer, the sims has been working the smoothest its ever worked for me before and the graphics with this nividia geforce graphics card are AMAZING

@Clousinators you bought the acer predator? Is it true that it makes a lot of noise while gaming? (I read this on reviews, but a lot is always so subjective...). Let me know please...

@telmarina I bought my PC a few years ago so it's not the newest specs and it runs the Sims 4 with most packs just beautifully on ultra, with room to upgrade. I have:

OS: Windows 10 Home
Processor: Intel i7 7700 CPU 4.20gb
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080
Memory 16gb DDR4 3200 (I think)
Motherboard: MSI
Brand: PowerSpec
Hard Drive: 500gb SSD

I got it at the Micro center, so I don't know if you have one in your area or not. They've been having trouble keeping some of their PCs in stock lately, though. I think it's because the pandemic has slowed down production.

Note: I think their prices have gone up a bit as well, probably due to supply and demand.

I finally got a gaming computer and OMG! Loading screens are no longer an issue. They zip by quickly. This is the first time I didn't mind letting my SIM travel here and there. I dreaded it before because the loading screen took absolutely forever. My computer wasn't the best. Now I'm just happy as heck because, for the first time, I can actually REALLY enjoy playing my Sims.?

That's great to hear! I know the feeling sis. Just play like the world is ending.
