after the update on 18/9/2024, the game doesn’t work anymore. Can’t do anything. Did all the recommended repairs. Have tried removing mods, repaired multiple times, even uninstalled the game and installed it again, removed localthumbcache. Now just did the new update (1/10) but still doesn’t work. Game is totally unplayable.

    That’s so nice thank you, I have no knowledge about any of this. Did an bit of research and bought this laptop: 

    DELL Latitude 3330 Laptop 33,8 cm (13.3") Full HD Intel® Core™ i5 i5-1155G7 8 GB LPDDR4x-SDRAM 256 GB SSD Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Windows 10 Pro grey


    Didn’t want to spend a lot on it since Sims is the only thing I’ll probably play. Only thing is that the processor may be a bit slow? But do you think this one will work?

    @esnika  The processor is more than fine for Sims 4.  The limiting factor will be the graphics chip, which should probably be able to handle medium-high to high graphics settings, depending on your play style.

    I wouldn't recommend multitasking very much while playing, as that 8 GB RAM can get used up quickly by Windows (2-3 GB) and the graphics chip (borrowing maybe 1.5 GB while running Sims 4).  But playing without much else running in the background should be fine.  And if you want to alt-tab to a browser window here and there, just close it when you're done.
