    @shyshy01  The 9300H is a little better for gaming than the 3550H, but either one would be more than fine for Sims 4.  If you're comfortable with a manufacturer-refurbished laptop, the Acer is a bit cheaper from Walmart:

    It's a risk, but a smaller risk than if you bought, say, on Ebay.  And there's also a small risk when buying from a third-party seller on Amazon, although when it's delivered by Amazon, the risk is pretty low.

    While 256 GB is enough storage for Sims 4, even with a giant pile of custom content, you may want the extra space if you're planning on installing other games, or storing other data, e.g. a photo or music collection.

    Either laptop would be great for Sims 4, so pick the one you like better, and you should be fine.
