Re: Sims 4 runs slow and laggy mostly at the beginning of the game! Help...>_<

You do not have enough RAM for the game and your graphics is below minimum requirements. Your CPU was not detected for some reason but it is likely that is too weak as well. It is almost a miracle it runs at all. Try turning graphic settings down to low and enable laptop mode. This might help.

    yeah your computer has the bare minimum to run modern games. i would suggest an upgrade. usually a 1000 dollars PC lasts 5 years or more, enabled to play on high all modern games up to the 5 years run. if it is a desktop computer you can even upgrade it and gain something like an extra year of usability. its not like consoles that once the company says "hey the new console is out, so yours is now for the museum" and your console pretty much dies.

    bare minimum is correct. any pc is able to run games. he is fine running 2010 and previous games. modern games (2015 - today) he can run some and in low graphics level. thats bare minimum.

    With 32MB dedicated memory and at least 128MB needed to hit the minimum for The Sims 4 only. Don't know what games you were thinking of?

    This would be a computer I would use for office work, not gaming.
