Is this computer good for sims 4?

@wafflefrie1  None of these laptops are good options, unfortunately.  The ones with 64 GB storage aren't even viable: Windows and associated resources will occupy around 25 GB, the Sims 4 base game is another 20, and Windows itself needs some free space to maneuver properly, leaving you with almost nothing for expansion packs, mods and custom content, or other apps.

Additionally, Sims 4 doesn't run in Chrome OS, so any Chromebooks you see should be crossed off the list.

This leaves only the first two laptops.  They're not great either, probably only capable of low settings, and running more than a handful of packs, or Cats & Dogs alone, may not go well at all.  Some of this depends on your play style: how many sims in a house, how large of a house, what kind of cc you use, etc.  But with a low-end processor and graphics chip, and only 4 GB RAM, you'll be limited no matter how you play.

The unfortunate fact here is that there aren't any good laptops for Sims 4 in the $200 range.  If it's possible to save up for a little longer, you could probably find something much better for a little over $300 around Black Friday.

If that's not an option, would you be willing to buy from Ebay or Craigslist?  Buying a secondhand laptop directly from the original owner is cheaper than going through a store, although it does come with a risk.  But you could probably find a laptop capable of running all Sims 4 packs together on medium settings, especially if you're patient.  Let me know if you're interested and would like help figuring out what to look for on either site.

Ok thank you! I’ll see if I can find anything on eBay or if there’s some wiggle room

@wafflefrie1  If you do go for an Ebay option, try to find something with at least 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage, and ideally, one of these processors:

Intel i5-1135G7

Ryzen 5 5500U

Ryzen 5 4500U

These can run the entire game on medium-high settings.  A Ryzen 5 3500U or Ryzen 3 5300U would be the next step down, capable of medium settings.  If you're not sure what you're looking at, feel free to list specs or link product pages.

Hey! I wanted to know if these were any good. I know you told me what they needed if they were refurbish which the last two are. I just wanted to get your opinion because I really don’t know what I’m reading

@wafflefrie1  Again, 64 GB storage isn't enough, so cross off that option.  The first isn't very good, the third is marginally better, and the fourth one is a little better than that.  None are great, but then then it's difficult to find something for $200, even used.

It will be good for light school work and email. If you was asking if it would run The Sims 4 then it may run it at low settings at least if you only intend to play the base game and maybe a couple stuff packs.

If you haven’t bought one already or looking for something new try Reebelo they sell good refurbished tech
