Hi, so I read that the sims is a more CPU intensive game than a GPU one. So the computer I'm looking at has the CPU: 3.6 GHz AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core and GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 with 6 GB GDDR6 VRAM. Would you say those are good to handle my game if I used reshade + with over 30gb in my mods folder?
@ashleykfc Sims 4 is actually much more GPU intensive than CPU intensive. This is true of most games, with the exceptions being those like Cities: Skylines that require a lot of off-screen simulation. Sims 4 is more CPU intensive than Sims 3, which is a common comparison to make, but that's about relative demands.
To answer your question though, I think a Ryzen 5 3600 and an RTX 2060 would be more than fine, perhaps even a bit of overkill. But that should give you plenty of overhead to account for more demanding expansions, high resolution custom content, and Reshade. I would guess you'd probably never see a performance issue except when the game engine itself has a problem, which is unfortunately inevitable on any system. For the rest of the time, you should be more than fine.
Okay, thank you so much for your help! I had no knowledge about gaming computer specs and whatnot, but with your help and a lot of research, I found a computer to buy! Thank youu! 🙂))
Hi, so I've been looking at this PC https://www.conns.com/acer-predator-orion-3000-gaming-desktop-po3620ur13.html what do think about this computer for the things I need for my game?
@ashleykfc I think if you're going to spend $1,400, you should be getting stronger hardware than that. I found the same graphics card in computers under $1,000, and the processor is only a little faster than a Ryzen 3600. This model's cooling is also not great, although with a mid-tier CPU and GPU, that wouldn't be as much of an issue.
Hi!
I'm sorry to bother this message area but I really need your help in order to buy a good laptop: in this case, my situation is that I have to buy a good laptop to use for uni but I would like to play The Sims 4 as well (of course as a hobby, so not all the time). I researched and this option seems to be perfect but I would like to have an opinion about it!
Thank you if you're considering this message. ♡
