Has my laptop had its time to shine??
Although my laptop i THINK has decent graphics, and can run the sims (i have like 90% of the DLC as well + 10GB of cc/mods) the graphic quality just isnt how i remember it being and ive been having i...

It doesn't look bad. Graphics processor is a bit weak by todays standard. Notice that the two latest Expansion packs have slightly higher requirements than the base game.
Upgrading to an SSD drive should give it a boost. Getting a Gaming computer will of course give more of a boost.
so if i plan on adding onto my game for years to come as they continue to release more packs i guess i should think about an upgrade of atleast some sort?
Your current laptop may not be able to be upgraded in the way of graphics. However, if you choose too, you could upgrade the hard drive and memory.
It sounded like you were thinking of possibly buying a desktop to play Sims? If so I think that would be better.
@172e3cda00349872 yeah i dont think it can since the graphics card is stuck to the motherboard, but i mean upgrade in the sense of upgrading to a new computer than has much better graphics and can handle the game better
@aly975 First Windows 8.1 was not that good and may be at least part of the issues. The 1600 x 900 default resolution may also be part of the issue. Computer resolutions now follow tv resolutions as many people now use HDMI to connect to their big screen tvs so resolutions like 480, 720, 1080, and now 4K seem to be what to look for when playing 3D graphical games. Microsoft was giving away Windows 10 for free to Windows 7 and Windows 8 owners. There's not much upgrading you can do with a laptop. Most desktop mother boards can be updated for a while until a new generation of chip comes out then you most likely have to upgrade the mother board.
i think when the sims 4 first came out this laptop had windows 8.1 and i dont ever remember this issue ever happening until about a year ago..i may try windows 10 though.
As for the resolution, is there something i can do to help that out? either in game or somewhere in my laptop?
