@puzzlezaddictThank you ! Your response has been incredibly helpful and I'll definitely take your suggestions on board and look into them further !!
I was just wondering if I did end up going with one of the two I listed, the Asus TUF Dash 15.6" FHD 144Hz Gaming Laptop (Intel i7) [RTX 3060] or the Asus TUF Gaming F15 15.6-inch i7-10870H/16GB/512GB SSD/GTX1660Ti 6GB, which one would you go with ?
@BMO_girl_simmer I personally would get the Dash with the 3060, but that's because I play other games that are more demanding than Sims 3 or 4. I don't think the 3060 is worth the extra money if all you're doing is running Sims games with one possible caveat: if you notice the difference between 60 fps and higher, you'll probably enjoy the 144 Hz screen.
You can actually go to a physical store and test a few high-refresh-rate screens yourself—the best test is to find one that runs at 120 or 144 Hz, try it out, and then set it to run at 60 and see if you notice a difference. (This is so screen quality isn't a factor.) One obvious difference, at least for people who can distinguish between 60 fps and higher, is quickly dragging a File Explorer window around the screen: it looks and feels smoother at higher refresh rates. But if you don't notice the difference at all, then the extra cost of a 144 Hz screen and the faster card to drive it won't be worth it to you.
And to be clear, you can do this with any monitor you find that runs at a high refresh rate. So any store that would let you play with a random laptop or standalone monitor would work.
