    @motelheaven  I've moved your post to the Sims 4 PC tech section.

    Yes, this laptop should be able to run Sims 4 on ultra graphics settings, even with Reshade added.  The one caveat is that you might need to reduce the in-game resolution a bit; I'm not sure whether the graphics card can quite keep up with the screen's higher resolution.  The game should still look very nice at the next-lower supported resolution though, or you could turn a couple other settings down to high if it comes to that.  It's fine to experiment with the settings and with Reshade as well to get the effects you're looking for.

    Maybe you know this already, but some custom content can be much more demanding than base game items.  So it's a good idea to test out the cc you download just to see whether you notice a significant performance hit.  It might be totally fine; I'm just saying it's worth checking out.
