Is this computer good for the sims?

Hi, so I was wondering if the sims 4 can run good with a good enough cc on high on the Lenovo Ideapad gaming 3. It's on sale right now and I just wanted to make sure before I buy it. Here's the link:

Thank you.

    @Missmaj1  Yes, that laptop should be able to run all current Sims 4 content on ultra graphics settings.  (And its sale price is very reasonable too.)  Depending on the type of custom content you use, you might need to turn down some settings to high, but that's all.  So if you like the laptop, there's no reason not to get it.

    @Missmaj1  Yes, it should handle Sims 3, all packs included, quite well.  The one thing you'll want to do after you get the laptop is manually limit in-game framerates for 3 (Sims 4 has built-in settings for this) so the laptop's graphics card doesn't overwork itself producing extremely high fps for no reason.  This is an issue on almost any laptop capable of running all Sims 3 content on ultra settings or close to it, and certainly any gaming laptop.

    If you want help with this process, feel free to ask when you actually have the laptop in hand.  Or you can read this post I just wrote for someone else and ask if you have more questions.
