What computer is best for the Sims 4 including packs, mods, and cc?

@MookieLove09  You don't need to pay nearly $2,000 to get a great laptop for Sims 4.  Are there any other games you might want to run, now or in the future?  I ask because you can afford a high-end graphics card, but there's no sense in spending $400 extra on one that Sims 4 will never be able to utilize properly.  (The game basically has soft limit on how well it can run on even the most powerful systems.)  On the other hand, other games might benefit from the increased power.

@MinVediva  $1,500 U.S. is more than enough to fit your needs.  Do you want a desktop or a laptop?  Desktop hardware is more powerful, and desktops are much more upgradable, but a laptop is more convenient.  If you're going with desktop, let me know whether the monitor is part of the budget and how large you want it to be.

Please also let me know whether you'd prefer the best system for $1,500 or the cheapest system that fits your needs.

@MinVediva  If you're not looking for the best computer $1,500 can buy, you really don't need to pay nearly that much, even with the monitor included, for Sims 4.  There are a few rough categories to choose from even below $1,000, and the question is at what point does price become more important than performance.

If your only goal is to play Sims 4 on ultra settings without the game lagging too much (it'll lag for sure, that can't be avoided, but it won't be the hardware's fault), then these are as low as I would go.  Performance should be smooth, other than when the game inevitably lags, and you'll have room for whatever else you want to install.  The second one has a newer and better processor, which should help with longevity and with some of the Sims 4 lag, but it's not strictly necessary.

The next tier means smoother graphics, especially if you get a monitor with a higher refresh rate (more on that below), and more of a buffer to absorb the effects of the game lagging.  To be clear, this is about the game tripping all over itself, not the hardware, but faster hardware can resolve those tie-ups marginally more quickly.  The faster graphics card also leaves some room for Sims 4 to get more demanding, if it does, or for the eventual Sims 5 to be more graphics-intensive than that.  Given the small difference in price between this and the next tier up, this is the only computer I found that's worth the price given its hardware.

Finally, these computers are overkill for Sims 4 and almost certainly always will be, but since these systems are only around $900, they're worth mentioning too.  Aside from the faster graphics card, you're also getting twice the storage for the first two, which is convenient if not necessary for Sims 4 and schoolwork.

Within a given tier, the hardware isn't meaningfully different other than the extra storage of the first two $900 options.  But storage is very easy to upgrade and quite cheap these days, so you wouldn't be locking yourself into 500 GB with the other options.  All of these have 16 GB RAM, which is convenient for multitasking and will probably be necessary eventually even if it's not right now.

I chose desktops from companies with a reputation for good build quality and getting the most out of their hardware.  You might see a slightly cheaper option with the same hardware from HP or Acer, but I would suggest avoiding those given your budget can accommodate a slightly higher price.  Some manufacturers use proprietary components that don't work as well and are not interchangeable with commonly-available parts, so repairs and upgrades can be much more difficult.

For monitors, the single most important feature is an IPS panel (as opposed to VA or TN), which has the highest-quality colors and widest viewing angles.  Second, for many of us at least, is a higher refresh rate.  Many people can readily distinguish between 60 or 75 Hz and 120 or higher, especially at younger ages, with the higher refresh rates making everything from games to dragging a desktop window feel smoother and more responsive.  Even some of those who can't tell the difference, consciously at least, report a subjective improvement.

However, if you're going for one of the computers in the first tier, you may not get a lot of benefit from a refresh rate higher than 75 Hz.  The 1650 would run Sims 4 a little faster than that most of the time and sometimes drop below it, so something like one of these would be fine.  I realize that I'm listing a lot of options, but aesthetics matter to a lot of people, so you might cross off half of them because you don't like the stand or something.

If you're getting a computer with an RTX 3050 or especially a 3060 for a graphics card, then it's well worth the upgrade to 120 Hz or higher.  Sims 4 should run at 1920x1080 at or above 144 fps under ideal conditions on a 3060, and lower but still well over 100 on a 3050.  Some situations will create fps drops, that happens on even much more powerful systems, but most of the time you'd see closer to 144.  Even with a 1650, the price premium for a higher-refresh-rate monitors is low enough to be worth considering for general use.

In terms of specs, there aren't many meaningful differences, although look for a peak brighness, measured in nits, at or above 300 if you like a brighter monitor.  If you don't like a particular brand's monitors in general, that's also a good distinction to make.  For example, I'd never buy myself a Dell monitor even though they're high quality overall just because I don't like the way the screens look.

If you have more questions about any of this, please feel free to ask.

@MinVediva  Are you talking about the computer itself or the monitor?  Do you specifically want one or the other in white?  That will likely cost a bit more, and to be honest I don't see many white monitors out there at all: black is much better for viewing since it doesn't interfere with or draw the eyes away from the on-screen image.
