Sims4

Truth to tell go to ebay and look for gaming ccomputers.  YOu don't need the absolutley latest processor but get a pretty good one, get a middle range graphics card, 1T ssd, and 64 gigs of ram. 

there are a tone of people that actually build them on ebay for way cheaper than HP or Alien and get the computer that you want. Finally when you do want to upgrade your computer it is easy to do, go to your local computer shop and tell them what you want take the tower and they will update you.  This makes an investment for many years of fun and upgradeability.

Look for their reviews, especailly the negative ones most of these smaller companies can respond more quickly to the last hardware than a big computer manufacturur and you will save tons and get the computer that you want.

Which country are you in and what is your budget?

My parents and I have been using HP for years since they first came out and we are still using them. As for a particular brand that is up to you and what  you want to do with it. For me, I use it for checking my emails, play games on it like Sims4 and watch movies. 

Here is the link to HP website to check out:   HP Website and you can talk to people who work there and they can help you.

valairia1  Telling a new user to buy a PC on Ebay can introduce all sorts of problems.  For one thing, not all countries have robust buyer protections, so someone who doesn't know how to properly test a new computer could end up with a defective system but not find out until it's too late to get their money back.  And a user without a lot of knowledge about hardware wouldn't necessarily know what to buy in the first place, or whether they're getting enough value for their money.

It is absolutely not necessary to get anywhere near 64 GB RAM for Sims 4.  The game can't even use more than about 10 GB without falling all over itself, so 16 GB total is sufficient.  And a 1 TB SSD is nice to have but not necessary either.

I would also point out that in a certain price segment, custom builds are significantly more expensive than prebuilt options that use the same hardware.  That's because system integrators often get steep discounts for bulk purchases and pass some of the savings on to the customer.  The small builders don't usually get this benefit and would have to sell the systems at a loss to match these prices.
