What computer is best for the Sims 4 including packs, mods, and cc?
Hey!
Long time simmer living in Finland, Europe, and after 4 years with a slow-ish computer, decided to start looking in for a new one. One actually meant for playing games :D
Haven't been able to use mods for a while bc of the glitching and slow run. About a year now. And now the computer starts to glitch out after 2-3 hours of playing, which means a restart of the game. This was a hard place to start looking in for computers because I lost contact with a family friend who was computer-savvy and always there to help.
Okay so I'm looking for a gaming computer, that's easy for beginners (no need to resemble), under 1 500€, hopefully around the 1 000€ but girl can't be picky. Also I don't want to order overseas, but to buy from a store. There are some good tech companies in Finland but options are limited. Also possible to order inside Finland.
I do not know really what I need per se as for processing power and graphics perspective, but I do know I need the help that I can get from fellow simmers.
These years I've been clocking about the 2 600th hour at this game and starting to feel the need for an upgrade :D
I need to collect half of the money upfront and will get the rest as an investment from my bf so this search and collection can take a while, but I'll be messaging as much as I can <3
Thanks to everyone who will help me! Everyone is so sweet here and most certainly other gamer help will be great!
PS. Planning other games too for bf like battle games or such so that could be something to keep in mind when advising.
@JoBing1689 I'd be happy to help you pick something out when you're ready to buy. Feel free to link the stores where you're willing to shop; the language barrier isn't really a problem. I would however like to wait until you're actually going to buy something to search the sites—prices and inventory can change quickly, and there's no point in my recommending something that will be 200€ more expensive, or not available at all, by the time you're ready.
If you'd like me to list the hardware to look for so you can do your own shopping, that's fine too. Just let me know.
I don't think you need to spend 1500€, although it's been a while since I checked prices in Finland. 1000€ is doable, maybe 1200€ if you want a bit of an upgrade over the basic gaming PC. I can take a quick look around if you like.
