Asus TUF for Sims 4?
Hello! My first post here! In the market to buy a a new laptop, I study but also want to play Sims 4 on it. I want a laptop that will run it REALLY well with mods, expansion packs, and CC. It drives...

Wow!! Thank you so more for your very thoughtful and in depth comment! I’m really appreciative of your insight 🙂
What you said totally made sense! I’m looking at three laptops 🙂 The only differences are processor and graphics card 🙂🙂
Asus TUF i7 RTX 4050 (most affordable)
Asus TUF Ryzen 7 RTX4050 (expensive)
Asus TUF i7 with RTX4050 (most expensive)

@ItsJordyKings I think you can cross the second one off your list. Its processor is a little slower than the CPU in the first option, not so much that I'd tell you not to buy it if it were cheaper, but there's no reason to pay more for it.
The third laptop is a clear upgrade over the second in terms of raw performance. But you may not notice any difference at all in Sims 4—the improvements might be subtle enough that you'd need to use a stopwatch or other benchmarks to distinguish between the two. If the price gap were small, or you were planning on playing more demanding games that could use the extra power, I'd say go for it. But I don't think it's worth $850 AUD, and it's not worth much at all if the only question is how well Sims 4 will run.
Thank you so much for contributing to the world of forums! I really appreciate your time and effort to replying to a total stranger!! 🙂
I’m only a few days away from picking up my laptop! Just thinking… should I stick to the 512gb or should I upgrade to the 1TB. I plan to own as many sims expansion packs as possible! Is it worth going for the 1TB or is 500gb more than enough?? Thank you again!!
@ItsJordyKings For Sims 4 alone, 500 GB is more than enough, and more than you could reasonably use. The game itself with all current packs is just under 60 GB, and while you could in theory download enough custom content to eat up the rest of the storage, your loading times would be unbearable before you got to that point. Saves aren't generally that large; even with lots of backups, you'd be looking at a few gigabytes of data.
If you planned to play several other large-ish games, or you wanted to store other data like a photo or movie collection, it would be best to go to 1 TB. For only Sims 4 and maybe one other game, you don't need it.
