Can't update

You are going to need a better more updated gaming laptop. As the Sim's came out over 10 years ago computers have grown by leaps and bounds. As such you can't run all the games from an old gaming laptop. You may need to buy a new laptop or a new computer. My gaming laptop is 1T and I am using 23 GB just for my mod folder. Just for the base game you need 51 GB of space. I'm using around 260 GB for the game & packs, kits, etc. and my personal files & books. If you run the Sim's off an outside hard drive just be advised that it will get hot as it has no fan as your laptop has. If you run an outside hard drive, keep in mind that it will put strain on your already pushing laptop. The only option you have that is not going to put a dent in your pocket & you will have more room for more of the packs & kits is to look for a used laptop at the pawnshop that is 1T.
