Insufficient Ram?

Hey everyone,

So I got a brand new laptop 13th July with 4GB RAM. I've been told Sims 4 should work perfectly fine with my laptop, and a lot of other 4GB RAM games have been working perfectly fine (including VRChat which apparently is infamous with memory leaks). However when I load up the game, I'm told that there is insufficient memory and that it may be down to one or more of the expansion packs I have.

I own all the expansion/stuff/game packs except for Moschino as it didn't really catch my interest.

Is there anyway I can get around this? I used to play the Sims almost daily on my old laptop and I'm a bit disheartened to know I might not be able to play it again in a very long time. :/

    I would if I had the money to do so, also I'm under warranty which makes it tricky.

    Point being though is that everywhere I go it says I should be able to run The Sims 4 perfectly fine, but my laptop is saying otherwise. :/

    Yes the Sims basegame will run. The problem is the Expansions you added.

    Adding more RAM will not invalidate a warranty.

    I've been told otherwise on the warranty unless they do it, unfortunately I can't afford the service charge right now. >.<;
