Hello,
Based on the specifications, I would say that your laptop would support The Sims 4, and I would expect it to run at medium graphical settings. However, with the information that The Sims 3 crashes due to overheating after 30 minutes, I am slightly worried that your laptop may have some overheating damage because of this.
Have you invested in a laptop cooling pad?
I hope this helps and keep simming,
Cody
Also note my graphics card is interated. My laptop does not have over heating issues when I play League of Legends which I can play at high quality without it getting too hot. but warm and it doesnt force close like the Sims 3. I really dont want to spend $70 if I cant even play the sims 4
Hello,
It seemed that The Sims 3 caused a lot of overheating issues for a number of laptop uses, and there were cases where this overheating had caused damage to the integrated graphics. However, if you are able to play League of Legends, I think there's perhaps not any damage in your case.
In answer to your original question, I think your laptop would be able to play The Sims 4, but investing in a cooling pad may still be a good idea. Would you like me to help you work out why The Sims 3 is crashing for you? (it could be down to just one piece of dodgy CC)
I hope this helps and keep simming,
Cody
