    I wouldnt recommend this for Sims 4 as the I3 is the weakest for 3D gaming, these are the minimum requirements.

    SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS

    • Windows XP (SP3)
    • Windows Vista (SP2)
    • Windows 7 (Recommended)
    • Windows 8 or 8.1 (Recommended)
    • Windows 10 (Recommended)
    • Mac OSX 10.75 (Lion - Recommended)

      THE SIMS 4 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

    • Minimum Processor: 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-62 or equivalent. See notes on shader model 3.0 to find out how to see your processor model).
    • Minimum Memory: At least 2 GB RAM
    • Disk Space: 10GB of free space for game data, creations, and saves, more with each Expansion Pack (1GB+ each)
    • DVD-Rom: Only required if you bought a disk copy. DLC are added to the game via download.
    • Minimum Graphics Card: 128 MB of Video RAM and support for Pixel Shader 3.0. NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or better, ATI Radeon X1300 or better, Intel GMA X4500 or better
      If you have, for example, an Nvidia GTX 7800, it will be superior. See notes about Shader Model 3.0 below as it is 100% required for The Sims 4 to run.
    • Sound/DirectX DirectX 9.0c compatible. 99% will not have a problem with these unless using a very old version of windows. If you're on Windows XP, make sure your version supports it. Hit Start > Run, type dxdiag and press enter.

    EA RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

    See the minimums above, surpassing the recommended system requirements will allow you to turn the graphics up the more your system outranks them. You'll additionally experience better load times by having a faster processor and more RAM. You should never need more than 4-6 GB to run The Sims 4, even with DLC. See the next section for a post that explains the various components and helps to clarify how surpassing these will benefit your gameplay.

    • Processor: Intel Core i5+ or AMD Athlon X4 (see notes on shader model 3.0 to find out how to know your processor model.
    • Memory: 4 GB RAM
    • Disk Space: 10GB of free space for game data, creations, and saves, more with each Expansion Pack (1GB+ each)
    • Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 650 or better. See shader model 3.0 below.

    @ibearyou  The I3 is the weakest of the Intel I series and at 2.3Ghz is weak for this game. I would not recommend a computer with Intel graphics for 3D gaming. I would not recommend the this Acer for this game.
