Sims 4 Lagging After Update
Okay so my Sims 4 is lagging. Not super bad but like enough to be irritating and not really fun to play. It makes CAS a freaking nightmare. I've tried everything I can think of. I've uninstalled mult...

@puzzlezaddict So spoke to argos and the one i sent you the link to is being disconnected and out of stock in my area. The link you sent - im guessing it is good but what do you think the downfalls of it are and are they easy to improve?
@Hrrng327 The £630 laptop I linked has most of the same specs as the one you were considering. The main difference is that it doesn't have a fast solid state drive, only a slow mechanical drive. All of your apps would still run just fine, only they'd load more slowly, and the same goes for Windows. It's not a big deal, more like an inconvenience.
You could upgrade in theory, as in, you could add an SSD to the laptop. But in practice, that might be more work than you want to do. At the very least, you'd need to physically install the new drive and reinstall Windows onto it to get the benefits. And if the laptop only has one slot for a hard drive, you'd need to remove the existing one first, and so you'd need to have a way to transfer your data from the old drive to the new one. This isn't difficult by any means, but it is work, and you'd also need to redownload any apps (like Sims 4) you wanted to install.
If you really like the laptop that's out of stock, this one has the same specs, including the small fast SSD, and it's also £700:
- @puzzlezaddict So out of the two available ones - which one would you personally get?
@Hrrng327 I would absolutely get the one with the SSD. Windows will start up much faster, apps will load faster, and it would be a better experience overall. But since the upgrade costs £70, I figured it was worth considering whether the faster hard drive is worth it to you. And just to reiterate, once you start playing Sims 4, meaning the game is loaded and you're looking around the world, you won't notice any difference, except perhaps when your sims travel and you see a loading screen.
- @puzzlezaddict hiya so I have just updated sims on my current laptop for the legacy settings and it has come up with this. I have changed the game properties to the 64 bit not the legacy bit but its still not working
