I need a new laptop to play the sims 4
@Tabbyj74 The third one is the best of the group because of its 16 GB memory. But the fourth has the same hardware other than the RAM, so it's an equally viable option if you're willing to upgrade. Another 8 GB module might cost £20, and maybe you have a friend or family member that could help you install it, but even if not, a repair shop could do it for less than the £100 price difference. This is not a specific recommendation, but Crucial does guarantee compatibility with this laptop:

The second laptop is fine too, pending a RAM upgrade, but its graphics chip is not quite as fast as the one in the third and fourth laptops, so I'd skip it in favor of the fourth. I'd definitely avoid the first because its graphics chip is significantly slower than the others.
This laptop is also £450 (before the discount code is applied) and has 16 GB RAM, plus the same graphics chip (but a newer processor) as the second laptop you listed. It also has a slightly brighter screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio, which is nice for everyday use. So it's a very reasonable option.
This laptop has the same processor and graphics chip as the third and fourth HP. Its screen is not as bright as the Lenovo but is still perfectly usable.
This one is more expensive than the others but significantly faster as well.
The laptops with an Ryzen 5 5500U or 7430U have a graphics chip capable of running Sims 4, all current packs included, on medium-high settings; the chip in the R7 7730U is maybe 15% faster in gaming, on average. The chip in the last laptop is about twice as fast as that, meaning you might be able to play on ultra graphics settings, depending on your play style. High-ultra settings should be fine at the very least.
If you have more questions, about any of these or in general, please feel free to ask.
