Best laptop for the sims please help!!

What is your budget? Around the price of the laptop provided?

Also, is the laptop intended primarily for gaming? From experience, unless the ability to move the computer around is a huge asset (such as using it at college/bringing it to work/constant travel), I often recommend choosing a desktop over a laptop for gaming. Desktops are generally hardier, most customizable, and are easier to upgrade or fix. Laptops tend to be a set deal until they sputter out, requiring one to buy a whole new system. Not that they can't be well-maintained for the passing years, but that tends to take decent hardware skills and knowledge.

The laptop linked will be able to run the games, but not to the best standards.

I did a quick search and grabbed two potential options for you to peruse to offer a look at what's generally considered a passable gaming laptop:

Option #1

Option #2 

I tried to find ones that were somewhat comparable in price to the one you listed.

You'll want to prioritize the GPU and CPU with RAM and the SSD following.

@smizeH2T  This laptop should run Sims 4 on medium settings, but likely only that unless you don't intend to install all of the heaviest expansions.  It would struggle to run the most demanding Sims 3 expansions at all, regardless of the settings; I'd expect Pets and Seasons to probably be out of the question, and Island Paradise and Into the Future might be as well.  Some people do manage to play with most packs on hardware like this, but it's a dicey prospect at best.

What's your budget, and are there any other details that matter to you?  I can look for other options, although you're not likely to find a new laptop that could reasonably be expected to handle all Sims 3 expansions for under £650 or so.  Even at that price, you might need to wait for a sale.  And at the price of the laptop you linked, you could do better on the graphics chip or card as well.

@iButterfree  The original poster is buying from an English store.  While you can convert British pounds to U.S. dollars and say that the laptops you listed are a similar price, they're going to be somewhat more expensive in England, anywhere from £650 to £750 depending on sales and inventory.

@iButterfreeHey thanks for replying so fast... I would only use this laptop for the Sims, I thought about a desktop but as i live in a small apartment there wouldn't be much room, I've had laptops for years with no breakdown problems, the laptop currently have is over 10 years old with a 6gb ram and A6 vision  AMD processor and in only wanting a new one because now the sims is starting to lag.... I hate to say it but that £550 would be the most I could spend.

@smizeH2T  Memory and storage both matter very much up to a point, but they're more an either/or scenario: either you have enough of each and don't need to worry, or you don't, and you see performance issues.  8 GB RAM is enough for both Sims games, unless you like to heavily multitask while playing, but computers with 16 GB tend to be significantly more expensive.  Besides, most laptops in your price range have room for a memory upgrade, and another 8 GB might cost £30.

As far as storage goes, Sims 3 and Sims 4 together take up less than 100 GB, so a 256 GB hard drive would technically be enough.  Where it gets tricky is if you like using custom content—I've heard of people downloading 50+ GB of Sims 4 cc.  (Sims 3 pretty much grinds to a halt above 10-15 GB cc, depending on the computer involved.)  Sims 4 saves are relatively small, but Sims 3 saves can take up a lot of storage, so keeping a large number of backups could theoretically be an issue.  And of course keeping a few backups is critical, since saves can get corrupted seemingly without notice.  Still, if you're not worried about custom content, or you have an external drive you could use for backups, 256 GB should be fine.

The processor does matter to both games, but not as much as the graphics card or chip, which will almost always be the limiting factor.  For Sims 4 as long as you don't get a laptop with an extremely weak processor, you can just consider the GPU.  Sims 3 is a bit pickier because it only uses two CPU cores or threads, so overall benchmarks are not as useful—it doesn't help to know what kind of load a 4-core, 8-thread CPU can do if the game can only use a fraction of that processing power.

Anyway, given your budget, the best options available have an AMD 4500U processor, which is incidentally somewhat stronger than the processor in the laptop you've linked.  More importantly though, its graphics chip is almost twice as fast in gaming, which would mean raising a couple of settings in Sims 4 or being able to successfully run a couple more expansions in Sims 3.  I still think playing with Pets (in Sims 3) might not work out well, and you might have to disable rain and snow in Seasons.  But the extra power should definitely help both games.

These laptops all have a 4500U; the last has a 512 GB hard drive.  The first two are the same, just from different stores.

The Lenovo comes with Windows 10 S, meaning you'd have to "upgrade" to the Home version to be able to install apps from outside the Microsoft Store, but that's simple and free.

As an example of a laptop with an entry-level dedicated graphics card, this laptop is just under £550 used ("like new"), although new models with this kind of card are a bit more expensive.  It's still not capable of running either game on ultra graphics settings, but it's over 50% faster in gaming than the chip in the 4500U.

If you have more questions, please feel free to ask.

@smizeH2T  Yes, it's the same laptop.  You can tell by the model number: A715-75G, listed in the small print on the Argos site.
