Agree @Cinebar but EA did make the sims 4 for gaming pc. The games recommended requirements (minimum is just for base game only) is mid range gaming desktop and is the same specs to run the whole sims 3. The games are just programmed differently but require same PC specs to run both games as a complete game.
People thinking this game runs on a toaster are not looking at the requirements or coming in the tech threads to see how many are having issues on lower end computers as more gets added. It will only get worse as more gets added just like TS3
So since both games require same PC specs, There should be no excuse why we dont have open world. The bottom line is we got refurbished Olympus instead of them starting from scratch to make a true PC game. The game was not originally programmed for PC but it is now and Olympus was just designed very limited in game play.
I agree about the recommended specs, that video card they are saying would work better for this game requires a 450PSU in the pc. I'm not sure why laptop users think this game will run on them when even EA is saying buy a better video card which would require buying a better PSU.
Most people who game know when any gaming company puts out specs its for PC desktop not laptop and that laptops are weaker than desktop. For some reason when people especially new to this game series read the specs they think this includes laptop and they are also unaware that minimum requirements are for base game only. For those of us long time simmers we already know how the specs work . Ignore the minimum requirements and have a computer that meets the recommended requirements or better if you want to survive the game as more gets added
EA wants to bring in new customers that never played this game before they really need to spell out the specs for newbees but they dont. They should not even have the minimum requirements at all. It throws newbees off into thinking the whole game will run on minimum specs. This game is unlike any other game when it comes to specs because this game just keeps adding and getting more demanding. Some people will actually take the time and come in the tech thread and ask for advice on a new computer but most don't
