If I have 1 16gb ddr5 ram stick in my pc is that enough or do I need another for Sims 4 with all packs and marketplace content. I don't want it to lag and stutter but if it won't make a difference than I don't want to spend extra unnecessarily.

AutumnLeaves4444 Having dual-channel RAM is a lot more important for some activities than others. Gaming is one of those where it's difficult to predict the outcome—it probably depends in large part on the game in question. So why not try it out and see what happens?
You could also add another 8 GB module instead of a 16 GB stick if it makes a difference. With that configuration, only 8 GB of the current 16 GB module would run in dual-channel mode, but that plus the other 8 GB would be more than enough to cover Sims 4. Additionally, RAM generally comes with a lifetime warranty because it's relatively simple to make at a high quality, so you could buy something used and probably be completely fine.
I was confused because some say you have to have two sticks otherwise it will be slow because it won't be dual channel. I just bought this gaming pc but it only came with 1 16gb stick not two.
