Best laptop for mods ??
Hiya! What is the best gaming laptop for someone who has a ton of (alpha) cc and a ton of mods? My Macbook Air is exploding :D I want something under 1K that runs smoothly and has good graphics for c...
@Peppiinv What country are you in? Do you have any other requirements for the laptop, for example other games you want to play or other data you want to store?
I’d like to know too! I’ve been playing Sims on consoles for as long as I knew about it and now I would like to try out playing it with mods and CC. I’m ready for more excitement! I’d like something with good graphics, very minimal lag, 8-16 RAM, 256-512GB and a good pixel shader that’s above a 3.0. Budget = Nothing above 750
@chW33Nie Is this 750 in U.S. dollars, or some other currency? And I take it you'd like a laptop, but let me know if that's not the case.
Also, I should let you know that your owned packs won't transfer from console to PC; you'd have to buy new copies. The base game is free, so you could still play, just not with your existing content.
USD 🙂 A laptop would probably be better since it’s portable ^^ I know I’ll have to buy them again but that’s fine since all I have on console is Cats & Dogs
@chW33Nie There aren't a lot of really good options for $750 U.S. at the moment; it seems like most of the older inventory has turned over. But I did find a few laptops worth mentioning. These three have an RTX 3050, fast enough to run Sims 4, all packs included, on ultra graphics settings, with some room to spare. They also have 500 GB storage, which is convenient if not strictly required.

Among these, the HP is the best combination of quality and in-game performance, but they're all more than fine.
This model has a faster RTX 3060, but only 256 GB storage. That's still enough for Sims 4 but probably not for an additional large game unless you're careful about storage. Still, it's worth mentioning because of the significantly faster GPU, which may help down the road even if it's not necessary now.

If none of these are quite what you're looking for, let me know why, and I can take another look. There are definitely more options out there, particularly with a 3050 and a 256 GB drive, which I didn't mention because they weren't much cheaper and 500 GB is so convenient to have. But they're also viable options if the ones above don't fit your needs.
And if you have more questions in general, please feel free to ask.
