Re: Do you recommend this particular computer for sims 4 high settings gameplay?
@FlyTransGuy Yes, that laptop is in the same category as the others, and it should handle Sims 4 just fine. The only reason I didn't link it is because I thought the configuration with the 1660 ti and 16 GB RAM was slightly more convenient. A 2060 is only a little faster than a 1660 ti, unless the game includes Raytracing, which Sims 4 definitely does not. But it's not like the 2060 is a bad choice, it's just more power than you need.
If you do get this particular model, you'll probably still want to add another 8 GB memory. Sims 4 and Windows together usually don't quite use a full 8 GB, even in well-progressed saves. But that's not including any other apps you might have running in the background. This is something you could do yourself—get another module that's exactly the same as what comes installed in the laptop, or check the manual for compatible RAM. Or you could get Best Buy to do it for you, but that might be more expensive than it's worth.
Best Buy doesn't have a lot of selection right now, and I think in the performance category you're looking for, the laptop you linked is probably the best option. One other to consider though is this Dell. Its graphics card is a bit slower than a 1660 ti but still more than fast enough for ultra settings in Sims 4; it otherwise has the same specs as the Asus you linked.
Both laptops are generally highly rated. If you'd like to compare the two, here are a couple in-depth reviews from the same site:
