  • @keyma4493  You would be able to play, sure, probably only on low-medium to medium settings.  This depends in large part on which expansions you install and your play style.  However, you wouldn't have room for much else aside from Sims 4, not even a lot of saves or custom content items if you installed most EPs.  The entire game is now about 60 GB, Windows is around 20 GB, and essential drivers and other items you can't delete might be another 10-15 GB.  That wouldn't leave much room even for saves, especially since 128 GB advertised storage is usually more like 110-115 GB once the drive is formatted.

    This is much less dire if you only want to install the base game (20 GB) and maybe a couple of expansion packs (1-3 GB each); game packs are smaller, and stuff packs and kits are of negligible size unless you install all of them.  But it's still a concern in the long term.

    If you'd like me to look for better options for you, please list your budget and country as well as any other details that matter.

    If you already have this laptop, there's no harm in downloading the game; just keep a close watch on free storage, and consider getting an external drive at some point.  It'll be slower than your internal drive, and a laptop with more internal storage is the better option if available, but an external is a viable workaround when you can't get a different computer.
