my budget is £600 maybe £700, thank you. 

@megsb18xo  Sorry for the slightly late reply; I didn't have time to do a thorough search earlier today.  Anyway, there's a significant difference in performance, for the most part, between what you can get for £600 and what's available for a bit more, other than the first option.  If you'd prefer to stay under £600 and don't particularly like the Dell, let me know, and I'll look for other options in that price range.

This Dell has a graphics chip that should be able to handle all Sims 4 packs together on at least medium-high graphics settings.  I'm not sure what the negative reviews are about, but the more recent ones are positive, so maybe Dell had an issue with the laptops that got sorted out.

This one is £630 and has a graphics chip that's around 30% faster than the chip in the one above.  It's also light and has a good battery life, plus a fairly good screen.  It does come with Windows 10 S, meaning you'd need to upgrade to Home before installing Origin or Sims 4, but that's free and simple to do.

In case you don't like the Lenovo but want the same hardware, this Acer is £650 and has the same processor, graphics chip, storage, and RAM.

Another option is to get a laptop with an Intel i5-1135G7 processor.  The graphics chip in that processor is a bit slower than the one in the Dell above, but it's still good enough for medium settings, and some people like Intel CPUs for other reasons.  (I don't think it matters so much these days, but I'm not the one buying.)  These have the same basic hardware; the differences are in screen size and quality and battery life.  The second and third are the same, in case you have a preference for where to buy.

If you have more questions, or want to see options that are a bit different in some way, please feel free to ask.

@megsb18xo  Do you mean the first Acer I linked, the one with a 4700U processor?  That and the Lenovo should run the game about the same, probably within a couple percentage points in performance.  It's almost impossible to predict performance for an individual laptop with more accuracy than that unless you have the machine in front of you—there are too many small variables to account for.  So what matters is which one you like more, for whatever reasons matter to you.

Can I play the sims on a 

ASUS VivoBook Pro 14 OLED, 14" WQXGA+ OLED Display, Intel Core i5-11300H, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Quiet Blue, Windows 10 Home, K3400PA-WH51 ?

@NaveahWhite  Yes, you should be able to play on medium-high to high graphics settings.  However, you may need to reduce the in-game resolution a bit, depending on what kind of performance you're seeing.  It's fine to experiment with different settings, both for resolution and for other details, until you get the results you want.

I will say that you'd get better performance for the same price with an entry-level gaming laptop, but perhaps you prefer this model for other reasons.

I’ve been looking at other laptop options for a while now as the sims 4 does not run the best on my macbook pro. Appreciate the help. 

@diamondk98  Yes, this laptop should be able to run Sims 4, all current packs included, on medium-high graphics settings.  The processor and graphics chip combination is about as good as you'll see without getting into the range of gaming laptops, so it's an excellent choice in the non-gaming segment.

If you would in fact like to talk about gaming laptops, just ask.  Please also list your budget and country as well as any other details that matter to you.  But if this laptop is the right choice for you in every other way, it's a good option for Sims 4 as well.
