Re: What computer is best for the Sims 4 including packs, mods, and cc?

@puzzlezaddict Would a gaming laptop be easier to find for that price range? Especially considering there’s lots of sales going on rn? Just seems that pcs are a little out of my price range

    @kenzielea0514  A gaming laptop would currently be cheaper, but that's not always true.  What's definitely true is that laptop hardware is weaker than the desktop equivalents, meaning slower performance.  Laptops mostly can't be repaired or upgraded as well, so other than RAM and storage, you're stuck with what you buy.

    Having said that, this would be a very good choice for Sims 4, capable of ultra graphics settings by a significant margin, and high quality overall:

    This is even faster but also not quite the same build quality.  I'm not saying it would break in a year, but it also probably wouldn't last five years.  It's also open box.

    It looks like the first one is only on sale for another 20 hours, although there's an open-box option that may stay cheap past that.

    If you don't like either of the ones above, let me know why, and I'll do a more narrow search.  This site has a lot of options, but please tell me if either the site or an open-box laptop is a problem; and in the former case, please list other sites where you'd be comfortable buying.
