Hi @supamcnastypt2
Does it need to be an iMac or Mac at all? Sims 4 is available for both Windows and Mac but Mac can be a little pricey, especially if you only want something for Sims.
Btw the new iMacs are incredible!
The min and max specs for Windows and Mac are here: https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/system-requirements
I would say whichever you want be it Windows or Mac you're going to be better off with a dedicated video card rather than integrated graphics. You will run games with integrated graphics but if it's an old system you use then it might not be good enough.
A dedicated graphics card will give you plenty of graphics power which will make everything run better without lowering settings etc.
So I would say for the best experience anything with:
4GB RAM +
A quad core CPU ideally or dual core CPU if you're happy to run at min spec.
A dedicated GPU at least from Nvidia or AMD
Any size Hard drive which you will get enough space with any PC as standard anyway.
All that is pretty much low end stuff so you should have a fair few options.
