laptop specs
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
@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).
also i found a acer nitro here
@kelleybb1024 That might be the best laptop you've seen so far, provided it is what it says it is. The price seems really low for this particular laptop though. Still, if you can get some kind of guarantee or return window, even if just long enough to make sure it turns on and does in fact have the hardware it should, then this would be a good purchase.
All I'm saying is, be a bit cautious and do your homework before handing over your money.
