@your_girl_ziy What's your definition of "too expensive"? I can look for options in your price range, to a point: it might be difficult to go much under $400 and still get a decent laptop. There are a range of decent options in the $600-900 range; anything more than that is overkill for Sims 4. Let me know how much you'd like to spend, and I'll try to find something that works.
@puzzlezaddict what about in the 500 range thank you 🙏🏽
@your_girl_ziy In the $500 range, most laptops aren't proper gaming systems, with hardware that would only run Sims 4 on medium graphics settings, or maybe medium-high if you didn't install all packs. But I did find one entry-level gaming laptop for $480. Even with all packs installed, it should still run Sims 4 on high-ultra or ultra settings:
If you don't mind getting a used laptop, this one has a stronger processor and a slightly faster graphics card. (The other hardware is the same.) There's a "used, like new" option for $500, offered by a third-party seller that has a 100% rating from Amazon.

I didn't see anything else under $600 that was better than these two options. Still, let me know if you're looking for something a bit different, and I'll look again.
- @puzzlezaddict so would the first option be good enough for me to get some packs and mods stuff like that and still get good game play
@your_girl_ziy Yes, the first laptop would be good enough to run all packs together (all 8 expansions, 8 game packs, and 16 stuff packs) on a mix of high and ultra settings. Most mods wouldn't add much to the demands of the game; custom content can tax a graphics card more, depending on how it's made. But even if you found some more demanding content to add, the laptop should still handle all high settings with no trouble.
