Graphics card question

@imperfect-angelx  Does this laptop have a Ryzen 7 3700U in it?  I ask because that's the most common processor that comes with Vega 10 graphics and because AMD's naming scheme is kind of ridiculous.

If this is the right processor, then I wouldn't expect more than medium graphics with most or all packs installed, and maybe only low-medium if you use particularly demanding custom content.  But depending on your playstyle and tolerance for lower framerates, high settings might be doable.

If you can find a laptop with a Ryzen 5 4500u or 5500U, or an Intel i5-1135G7, that would be a better option by a significant margin.  If not, you'll still be able to play on this laptop you've found; you just might need to make some small compromises.

Yes, I do believe so. I was asking because the current laptop I have, which is an HP is not right for the sims 4 because of the graphics and stuff. It’s an older HP with Intel(R) HD Graphics and Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N3060 processor. I mean it runs the game but it’s extremely laggy to the point where it’s frustrating to play (even without CC and Mods) with all graphics on low.

I could try and find one with a better processor than the Ryzen 7 3700U. I used to play on high settings, not ultra high, just high. I love taking screenshots and being able to see everything clearly and I do occasionally use reshade. But since my last laptop died I have been reduced to this HP and playing on low settings. 

@imperfect-angelx  If you'd like help looking, feel free to ask.  I'd just need to know your budget and which stores or sites you're willing to buy from.  But if you'd prefer to look yourself, the processors I listed can show up in somewhat cheap laptops these days now that Intel and AMD have released newer models.

Thank you so much for your help and suggestions. I think I found one with the processor you suggested that is within my price range. The graphics card is an AMD Radeon Pro 560. The laptops in question I found on Amazon. If the Radeon Pro 560 can handle high graphics, I just might go with the laptop that has the Ryzen 5 processor and the Radeon Pro 560 graphics card instead of the one with the Ryzen 7 processor and the Radeon Vega 10 graphics card.

@imperfect-angelx  The Pro 560 is somewhat faster than the graphics chip in an i5-1135G7, but the gap isn't massive.  There are two things that would give me pause in buying this laptop though.  One is that the Pro line is for professional work, not gaming, and thus doesn't have good driver support for games, meaning you might not see anywhere near the full potential of the GPU in Sims 4.  (Not that the card can't do the work; the problem is a lack of optimization.)

The other issue is that the Pro 560 was released in 2017, and any laptop that has one is going to be at least four years old.  That doesn't mean that the laptop will fall apart tomorrow, but you might not get the same lifespan as a model assembled in 2022 with hardware released 2021.  It's just something to think about.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the help. I need to check the poly count of a lot of the cc that I use via sims4studio because not all creators provide that unfortunately.
