Re: Can Sims 4 + 1 expansion run on Azuz Vivobook 15 laptop?

Thank you so much for your reply, this really helps me out. 

I do have multiple external hard drives, would any one of them be any use to store saved game data, or can I even do that or does it have to be stored on my laptop? 

@cat_spaceship_T4  Yes, you could install the game onto an external drive easily enough, and you could store your user data folder (saves, saved sims and builds, mods and custom content, etc.) on an external drive as well with a bit of work.  But I'm not sure that's necessary.  How much storage does your laptop have?  (If you're not sure, open a File Explorer window an click This PC.)  It looks like your model should have at least 128 GB, hopefully 256 GB.  The base game is 15 GB, and RoM should be less than 1 GB; without mods or custom content, your entire user data folder would probably be less than 1 GB as well.

Besides, the game will run much faster on your internal drive, especially if it's a solid state drive like most Vivobooks have.  It would be better to store other data externally, or move backups to the external drives, but keep whatever you're currently using on the internal SSD.

It says:

OS(C🙂 - 238 GB

36.8 GB used / 201 GB free

It seems there are a lot of background apps that came with the laptop but I will go through them to see what I need. 

This is great information, I didn’t know that about the external hard drive slowing the game down but it does make sense.
