    you need a dedicated graphics card because the games used it heavily. you need more a graphical card than lets just say a blu ray disc reader/burner.
    the regular specs i would look for sims 4 and similar games:
    CPU: intel core I5 or i7. amd ryzen 8. any option above 2.5 ghz.
    RAM: 16 gbs DDR5 or above.
    Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX or AMD radeon RX
    hard disk, anything. for windows 10 is best to have a SSD for windows and base programs, and an external 3.0 USB hard disk of at least 1 TB. for having your documents and games installed.

  • Ok thanks what brand do you recommend for around 500 or below

    not sure. look i get what it is to shop around a budget, or even "not to spend more than in a console" but i can assure you, a pc is the solution. a console gets declared off the market, and the console basically dies. clear example the wii got after a short years all the official online support for multiplayer online dead. the pc is the best option.
    if you ask me any brand, trust on the popular ones. like intel, amd, asus, LG, samsung, etc.
