can you run the sims 4 with mods and cc on a laptop with : 8gb ram size intel core i5 3rd gen ssd capacity 128gb processor speed 2.6ghz
i found this one do you think it can run fast with mods and cc https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Latitude-Gaming-Laptop-HD-LED-Intel-Core-i5-16GB-RAM-256GB-SSD-HDMI-/333544160545?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292
@kelleybb1024 No, it wouldn't run Sims 4 well at all, probably not on more than low settings. It has only an integrated graphics chip, and one that's five years old. All the laptops I listed are significantly better for Sims 4, as would pretty much any system that had a dedicated graphics card.
what about an alienware laptop? I'm thinking of buying one from Dell.com
@jmelrokmi Alienware laptops come in a variety of configurations, but I believe even the baseline configuration would run Sims 4 on ultra settings, at least among the new models. (If you want to make sure, please link a specific model so I can check.) Alienwares are expensive though, usually more expensive than their hardware justifies.
If you'd like other opinions, let me know your budget and country, as well as any other details that matter to you, or any other games you'd like to be able to play.
Thank you for your help. I really want to invest in something that is going to last me a long time and potentially play sims 5. More of an investment not just something to get by for now. If that makes sense.

Here are a few I was looking into....Mainly looking to get one through Dell due to my husbands huge discount. I know ASUS ROG is another great laptop but I think with his discount it is still better for us to go through Dell.
Forgot to add Im in the United States, no real budget.
hi could this one work ?
just let me know thank you
or this one ? it’s really in my budget 👇🏾
@kelleybb1024 The first one is much better than the second, capable of running Sims 4 (all packs included) on ultra or a mix of high and ultra graphics settings, provided it's in good shape overall. If you don't get that particular laptop, a similar one with an Nvidia GTX 1050 would also work fine.
I would worry about the second one, given how much older its hardware is. Even a reasonably well-maintained laptop is going to start struggling after six years, and while it might be fine right now, you don't want to be in the same situation in a year or two.
If you want to save money and split the difference, look for a laptop with a GTX 960M, or at least a 950M (900 series, and nothing lower than 50).
thank you sooo muchh i’m trying to get a nitro 5 but if i need any more help i’ll ask you if you don’t mind you’re really helping me out and i appreciate it 🙂
