@JLynnSims85 If this is just about performance in Sims 4, the second laptop is by far the best option by far. Even an entry-level gaming graphics card like the 3050 ti is going to be twice as fast as the fastest integrated graphics chips, and the first and third laptops only have integrated chips. Because the GPU will be the limiting factor in determining how well a given computer runs Sims 4, or almost any game for that matter, so that's as far as you have to look when one GPU is much faster than the others.
All three of the laptops have other hardware that's more than sufficient for Sims 4, so that's not an issue.
I do want to point out that all three of these laptops are sold by third parties, which is not the most reliable choice when dealing with Amazon. Maybe you have Prime and aren't worried, but I personally prefer to buy either directly from Amazon or from the manufacturer, not a random online store. Customer support will be better, and it will be easier to make a warranty claim if necessary.
If you'd like a thinner, lighter laptop, this one is worth considering:
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-SFX14-41G-R1S6-Creator-LPDDR4X-Backlit/dp/B093TK1PXF
It has the same 3050 ti as the Acer Nitro, although you might lose a couple of percentage points from manufacturer tuning. I don't know for sure, but the gap would be small if it's there at all and not enough to degrade performance in Sims 4 in any way obvious to the naked eye.
This is a proper gaming laptop in the same tier as the Nitro:
https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-i7-11370H-Windows-TUF516PE-AB73/dp/B08XPC3WFQ
Amazon doesn't always have the best prices, so if you're open to shopping elsewhere and want other suggestions, let me know. And if you have more questions in general, please feel free to ask.
