My budget is to about 300-530 USD, looking for 512GBSSD to 1TBSSD or more or it could be hdd, i don't really mind, also looking for a laptop to atleast run on high settings with 30fps i have some options already, but if you could suggest more it’d be great.

@lolnzz These options are all pretty much the same in terms of the performance you'd expect, but high settings may be a stretch if you plan on installing all or most packs. Regardless, you can do a lot better. This laptop has a graphics chips that's around 35% faster in gaming, on average, plus 16 GB RAM, which is nice to have if not strictly necessary. It's $380 by itself or $450 if you want a subscription to Office.

If you don't like this particular computer, another option is this Acer, which has the same hardware except other than its 8 GB RAM. That's still more than enough for Sims 4; it's just that heavy multitasking is smoother when the computer has more memory.

If you really need 1 TB storage, this refurbished option has that, plus 16 GB RAM and the same processor and graphics chip as the others. But you are taking a risk with a refurbished model.

These days at least, you're not going to find laptops with better performance until you get into the gaming laptop category, and those usually start around $650, although I've seen them as low as $550 on occasion.
