Re: Sims 4 overheating

Another couple of tips regarding laptop computers. 

1) Never play in bed with the computer sitting directly on a pillow or your comforter. This blocks the air vents and prevents the computer from cooling properly and can cause it to overheat.

2) If your laptop is overheating, check the vents to make sure they are clean. Dust, pet fur and fluff can clog up the vents as well.

3) Consider investing in a cooling pad. These can help your laptop to stay cool even if you follow steps 1 & 2.

4) Play the game on lower settings. Laptops are not gaming computers no matter what OS you run. While some laptops are advertised as being gaming computers, they usually aren't as powerful as a desktop model. Also make sure you get plenty of RAM (at least 8GB) to insure that most games will run correctly. The more content you add, no matter if it's EPs/SPs/GPs or CC or Mods, your computer will struggle to run the game unless you have plenty of memory.
