those specs would max out sims 2 ultimate collection though!

@milishearted  Sims 4 doesn't strictly need a dedicated graphics card to run at all; it's just better for performance.  But if you want to know how your particular laptop might be expected to handle the game, at least as a rough estimate, you can run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

That will list all the relevant hardware, as well as give information about a number of potential issues, so you can address them now if they crop up.

No matter what the specs, be sure to let the laptop cool while you play.  Elevate it (put books under the corners or something) or use a laptop tray or cooling pad.

The Sims 4 doesn't require a dedicated card to run; I've used it with a varying amount of machines with very different specs.

• I've used it with a desktop from 2009, with a lower range Intel HD Graphics Card and alpha CC. It ran perfectly, though the game was a bit laggy due to the age of the machine, the CPU, and 3GB of ram. I know that the graphics card wasn't a problem, because it ran Windows 7 with Aero with absolutely no lag, until it was updated to 10.
• I've used it with a laptop from 2009, with an i3 and mid tier Intel HD Graphics Card with no CC and all packs installed. I had minimal lag in the game, but it was slow loading.
• Presently, I run the Sims 4 Base (I switched to Sims 3 as my main game), with the Free Pack, and I plan on purchasing Seasons + Cats & Dogs + Get Together. It has also, an Intel HD Graphics chip, though it's from 2015. I have absolutely no lag in the game when my CC is minimal (I normally run with 18+ GB!).

There was also something wrong in saying it would run Sims 2, as the Sims 2 has issues with many modern cards, and that probably wouldn't be compatible. I recently experienced that issue myself, with all packs and it crashing loading households but showing the UI on the Loading Screen.

I actually have access to a lower tier model of your laptop I believe! I have an A3, and your laptop would run the Sims 4 perfectly well! See my other comment for my experience with Sims 4. You could probably bump the graphics settings to Medium-High, with no laptop mode and Sims on Very High (Laptop mode gives graphical anomalies and makes the picture quality really low in my opinion!) 

@milisheartedAre you using a 64-bit OS or a 32-bit OS? This is very important in determining which version of Sims 4 you can use.
