Hi! I'm not sure if I'm supposed to ask this here or in technical, its not really a technical issue. I have done some research on a new computer that would be good for the sims 4 and to handle all the CC and Mods I have. I have 4 desktop options and just wondering if someone could help me decide on what one would be best, or if you have a different option? Thanks!
No problem! I will get the Blaze 4 then. Can you link a monitor you would go with that has the QHD and IPS for me and then I can decide from there? Thank you, I appreciate all your input!
Hey,
As a Sims 4 Player and lover of mods and CC to the point of 200gb of them lol, I spent 2 years researching the best aspect of every gaming PC out there and building my own. TBH you do not need anything flashy to run this game at its core, but like you said having mods and CC in the game you want to be able to have no glitches within the game. I can tell you that option 2 is a good fit, but I think you need a larger hard drive, I have 2 one is a SDD which is 2tb and that runs just the Operating System and then I have an 8TB for just running the game. This ensures that the Operating System can run with no issues.
Hi! So you think the cyberpower one is best but just need a bigger hard drive? Is that something I should do right away? If so I would need some help with that because I would have no idea what to even get. Even if I do go with skytech wouldnt it be the same situation? They seem pretty similar.
VAU23 You don't need nearly that much storage for Sims 4. Even with a giant pile of custom content and a serious backup-save-hoarding issue, I can't see how anyone would use a terabyte of storage just for this game. I mean, I guess it's possible if someone were to try hard enough, but in practical terms, you'll never get there.
For monitors, what do you think of this one (same model, black or white)?

It's reasonably-priced and has a reasonably-high refresh rate, and it's a little brighter than the entry-level IPS monitors.
These have faster refresh rates and are a little brighter:

This one has a higher refresh rate than the first two, the same brightness, and is larger if that makes a difference. The physical size won't affect performance; it's about personal preference only.

There are lots of options to choose from that are a little more expensive than these, so if none of these are what you want, let me know why, and I'll narrow the search. I only looked at Best Buy (no good options for a reasonable price right now) and Newegg because of the sheer number of options, but if you decide you want something specific, it would be easy to check other stores too.
Ok, thank you so much for your research and input! I appreciate it, you helped me a lot :)
