Would this laptop run the Sims 4?

It would run it but definitely not on max settings.
If you want something in that price range but with better performance you should consider buying a PC.
If you necessarily need a laptop then you'd have to drop a few more hundreds for better performance.

It'll definitely run it, even the cheapest laptop would be able to run it. I recently got a new laptop in the same price range with similar specs (not sure the exact conversion but mine was the equivalent of 850-900 dollars according to google) and it runs the game smoothly on ultra settings.

People think you need a 2k gaming pc but you really don't for the sims, laptops do actually handle it really well on max graphics contrary to popular opinion, atleast mine does and it was a similar price so this one should be able to aswell! :)

In my experience, TS4 works a computer hard...there are many users and forums on the internet that back this up. I would not recommend a laptop for this reason, it's going to run hotter than a desktop.

I have a one year old Dell pc with a Core i5 9400 (a fairly decent processor) and 12 GB of ram--with no other programs running in the background and no browsers open, CPU usage is oftentimes in the 90-95% range. And even though it's a desktop with plenty of ventilation, it still spits fire when playing TS4...it becomes a small space heater

It really depends on the specs and what you define as smooth. Also the resolution you are playing in and if your are on laptop mode or not.
I was only referring to the specs the OP listed since the price really doesn't mean anything.
If the OP wants a good frame rate of steady 60 fps on ultra with all DLC and even in bigger areas I don't think this CPU or 8GBs of RAM will cut it.
But it's definitely above the recommended requirements if that's what the OP wants to know.

Don't see why it should not mine is slightly cheaper and runs fine with mods and DLC

I run TS4 from a i5 7th gen laptop with a GTX 1050 and 8gb ram. it can run the game on maximum settings, but i've had to tune it down a little because the cooling solution i have can only do so much before the laptop gets to such a point it overheats.

the exhaust ports are in a very awkward place, so i've had to make do with reasonable settings that keeps almost everything i want to run the game without sacrificing on actual experience or performance. DLC's haven't effected the laptop at all, it is running strongly for over half a year now without issue.

Thanks for all the feedback :)

Just one more question. Would this one be better?

@LoveMcQueen5683 Definitely better and will run the Sims 4 smoothly, so it is what you're looking for. It has an 256GB SSD only. That is plenty of space for The Sims 4 and all DLC, but if you are planning to use the laptop for other purposes too or plan to have it for a long time I have to warn you the 256GBs will run out pretty fast.
The laptop you linked has no other hard drive in it so you only get 256GBs. However the same model laptop also has a version of it with a 512GB SSD and 1TB HHD for a total of 1.5TB which is much much more. It's the one that costs 1,059.99$ from the link you sent.

If you think you can survive on just 256GBs then the 899.99$ will run the Sims 4 well and is a pretty good deal. If you are planning to use the laptop for a long time and other purposes or games (Sims 3, Sims 2, other games) then I fully recommend the 1,059.99$ one. It only costs 160$ more and comes with 4 times the space the cheaper one has.

Thank you. I decided to take the leap and go for the $1059.99 one.

Hopefully we get another stimulus check so I won’t feel too guilty about my purchase lol

But it will be worth it in the end :)

That's great. I'm sure you will be satisfied and it will be very much worth it! Happy Simming :smiley:
