My gaming PC is finally on its last legs after 6 years (or so). I admit i'm technologically illiterate but wanted to know if this laptop is a good choice for The Sims? I have every pack (minus a few kits) and will be getting Royalty and Legacy. Thanks
AaronRulz78 I don't know what site your screenshot is from, but Best Buy has the same laptop priced at $720, if that makes a difference:
You could get an upgrade to this hardware for $800, or possibly a little more. For example, this one has similar specs except its graphics card and processor are the equivalents from one and two generations newer, respectively. This won't make a difference to Sims 4 in its vanilla state, and it might not matter even if you pile on the custom content. But if you want to add a lot of high poly cc and also ReShade, or do video editing, or run more demanding games for that matter, you may benefit from the extra power.

This one has basically the same specs excepts its processor is marginally newer, though not any better:

I don't see anything else with this tier of graphics card for under $900, at least nothing I'd recommend, but if you do want the extra power and don't want the Walmart option, feel free to list some details you'd like me to consider, and I'll do another search. Here are a couple examples in case it helps:

Having said that, if your goal is to play Sims 4 on ultra settings, the Victus you've found is more than good enough for that and should work out well.
puzzlezaddict Thank you. I'm in United States and I don't want to go over $1,000. This one is $900 but on sale now for $760
AaronRulz78 Yes, that laptop should run Sims 4 on ultra graphics settings with a decend amount of room to spare, including all current packs and the new expansion. If you'd like other suggestions, please list your budget and country as well as any other details that matter to you. But if you specifically like THIS laptop and want to get it, then it's a perfectly valid choice, and probably reasonably-priced as well given the usual cost of Victus laptops.
