Tech specs for new laptop?

o_chlo  Thanks for the feedback on this hardware, and I'd be interested to know how the game runs as you add more content or otherwise challenge it more.  The processor and graphics chip are new enough that I don't have a lot of information about how they run Sims 4, just a bit of info and a lot of educated guesswork based on the chip's overall power relative to ones I know more about.

Thank you so much, I did end up buying a laptop because I needed one ASAP (I use it for work too!). I went for an intel ultra 7 processor with arc graphics and so far, gameplay has been completely seamless! I don’t use any mods or CC, although I’m considering some mods so we will see how that goes later down the line 🤣

Thanks again though, enjoy your day!

o_chlo  Sorry for the late reply; I've been away from the forums for a while.  (And this is in fact the correct place to post, it's just that not many people are trying to help here.)

This laptop would be fine for Sims 4 if you didn't absolutely need to play on ultra graphics settings.  You might be able to play on ultra, or maybe not, depending on your play style, your extra content (mods, cc, ReShade, etc.), and how smooth you wanted the game to be.

If you're still shopping and would like to have a longer conversation about specs or individual laptops, let me know.  I'll be around again going forward.
