What computer is best for the Sims 4 including packs, mods, and cc?
So I’m looking to get a new computer and I want to make sure it has enough storage for the game. I usually get a lot of cc and mods and I plan on buying more expansion packs so I need to know if there’s any specific type of computer that can hold that without making the game too slow/laggy. Thanks!
@p41g33 That depends on your goal. Do you want to get the most powerful gaming setup $1,500 can buy? If so, something like this ($1,200 for the moment) would work well:

That would give you enough room in the budget for a high-quality monitor as well, and the computer could be upgraded in a few years if you decide you need a faster graphics card or more storage.
If you'd rather save money, you could in theory go as low as $700, although I'd suggest spending a little more to get a slightly better computer, for example something like this:
In both cases, the computers are overkill for Sims 4, and even the second one would let you play on ultra graphics settings at a high resolution. (More pixels means the game looks more crisp and clear, and the quality of the screen is mostly about brightness and color range.) In fact, if you're sure Sims 4 is the only game you'll be playing, or at least the most demanding, then the second would be a better choice—you wouldn't see any benefit from the first one.
I haven't done any comparison shopping since I don't know whether you want a more powerful system or a cheaper one, or something in between. If you'd like more examples in that category, let me know, and I'll take a look.
