    @BaybiEls  A new entry-level gaming laptop would run Sims 4 significantly better than your current one.  Whether it's "worth" buying a new one is really your call: does a smoother game with shorter loading times justify spending somewhere in the $700-850 U.S. range, or a bit more in other countries?  It's really an individual decision.

    If you do decide to get a new laptop at some point, feel free to come back for advice, whether it's a second opinion on whatever you've already picked out or a list of good options or a description of what hardware to look for.  I'll be around.

What pc or laptop would you recommended to run the sims 4 smoothly without crashes & can handle mods?

    @BaybiEls  I've merged your new post with your previous thread on the subject.  Please stick to one thread for this question, either in PC tech (this thread) if you'd like a Windows PC or your thread in the Mac tech forum if you'd prefer a Mac.

    Please take some time and decide whether you want a Mac or a Windows PC, whether you want a laptop or desktop, and how much money you're willing to spend.  When you know the answer to these questions, AND you're ready to buy immediately, come back to whichever thread is relevant and ask for further help.  There's no point in having this discussion if you don't know what you want in general terms, or if you're not ready to make a purchase, because options and prices can change very quickly on the Windows side of the market.

      Hello again!! I really do apologise I am not what so ever technology savvy! I wished I was but that is why I am asking for help I don’t know we’re to go or what to do. I was going to buy a iMac in pink the M4 but it’s seems that is out the window as I got told it’s not great but yet says on the site good for gaming so I’m just left with one big fat question mark 😂 I have been looking on “very” if you know that site?

        @BaybiEls  Who said the M4 Mac isn't good for Sims 4?  It won't run games that don't have a Mac version, but Sims 4 does have a reasonably-good Mac version that runs well even on the M1 chip.

        If you're referring to your thread in the Mac tech section, that was mostly about comparing iMacs with other Macs.  It's true that an iMac can have lower specs than other options, but the question is not about the comparison so much as how the hardware would run Sims 4.

        Please decide whether you want a Mac or a Windows PC, and how much you want to spend.  If you have specific computers you're considering, feel free to link them.
