Laptop for the Sims 4 on Ultra High Settings, all packs, Reshade + mods/cc

@Carmella002  What country are you in?  Inventory and prices can be very different from one country to the next.  And I understand you don't have a budget, but do you have a preference for a certain price range, or would you perhaps like to get the best laptop up to a certain point?  Please also list any other details that matter to you, for example screen size or keyboard layout.

in terms of requirements i’m looking for a laptop that will give me the smoothest gameplay on full graphics settings with Reshade and mods/cc.

id probably cap the price at 1k but i’m flexible

for screen size i really like 1920 × 1080

and since it’ll only be for sims i only really need a standard keyboard 

I'm in the uk

ok so i'm stuck between these two

what would the main difference be in game or will they both be pretty much the same in terms of smoothness with mods and high graphics? also which one would you suggest for reshade?

@Carmella002  These two laptops will run the game pretty much the same because the limiting factor almost all the time is the graphics card, at least in theory.  In practice, the GPU won't be maxed out running the game, even on ultra settings, but then neither will the CPU, and the GPU will have a higher workload, relatively speaking.  That's true whether or not you add ReShade.  I'm not saying the processor doesn't matter, only that it should have no problem keeping up with the demands Sims 4 places on it.

So what matters here is what you like better, for whatever reasons matter to you.  That could be anything from a note in a random review to aesthetics, and I can't tell you the best answer for you.

The two screens have the same resolution and brightness and almost the same refresh rate, close enough that you wouldn't notice a difference.  You might think one is subjectively better than another, and if you live close to a computer store, it could be worth looking at models like these in person to see whether you have a preference.  You wouldn't need to find exactly these configurations—the laptop manufacturers only make a couple screens each generation and reuse them for a wide variety of setups.  All you'd need to know is that you were looking at a 1920x1080, 300 nit screen that runs at 144 Hz (the LOQ) or 165 Hz (the Omen), and that the models had a 12th- or 13th-gen Intel processor (LOQ) or a 7000-series AMD processor (Omen).  If that sounds complicated, I promise it's something a computer store would be able to work with.

Anyway, there's no wrong answer here; it's just about what you like.
