Which laptop is best for SIMS 4 game

christiangrimes7  The first one is clearly better in general because its graphics card is a lot faster.  It's also a higher-quality laptop.  However, an RTX 4050 will run Sims 4, all current content included, on ultra graphics settings, with a lot of room to spare for high poly custom content or ReShade or whatever else you want to add.  So it's a perfectly reasonable graphics card if all you want to do is play Sims 4.

Would you like other suggestions too?  I can probably find something better (cheaper, or higher quality, or more suited to your personal preferences) in either category.  Please list any details that matter to you, and let me know whether you specifically want to buy from Walmart or are open to other retailers.

i would love to get by with cheaper if i can

it might sound dumb idk but i want a keyboard that can light up in different colors at the same time cause the colors are soothing to my sensory issues sometimes i turn it on wave mode and just watch it so soothing to me

i dont play any other big games on my computer other then sims 4 the other games nearly any computer can do bingo, solitaire, some fake slot machine games sometimes 

i just want a computer with that kind of keyboard and that will last a couple years hopefully those reviews of people buying those computers and them crashing in less then 2 weeks terrify me im on disability so that kinda money is hard to save up

sorry for the bad grammar and thanks for the help

christiangrimes7  If your priority is multi-zone RGB lighting, then there aren't really a lot of options in the cheap gaming laptop category, unfortunately.  Most laptops either have lighting that can't change at all, or have one-zone lighting that you can adjust, meaning you could set it to change, but the entire keyboard would be lit up in the same one color at any given time.  I couldn't find anything for the same price as either of the laptops you linked that also had similar hardware.

This one isn't any cheaper, but in case you're still shopping around, it's worth mentioning:

Here's how you could customize the RGB profile:

The iCUE software in the video is made by Corsair, and it would probably work on the laptops you've found too, if they don't have their own software that works better.  (Always try the built-in option before downloading anything else, but sometimes that option isn't great.)

It's strange, a few years ago RGB keyboards were relatively common, and now they appear to be relatively rare.  But perhaps the market has changed.

It's too bad there aren't more reasonably-priced options, but if Sims 4 is your main game and the lighting helps you enjoy using the laptop, then the price premium isn't terrible, as far as these things go.

As for the possibility that the laptop will break in a few weeks, that's what warranties are for.  There's never a way to eliminate the possibility entirely—every single manufacturer puts out the occasional dud.  But you exchange the unit, or get your money back and buy something else, and you're fine.

so both of my first 2 would work ok?

Hp Zbook running windows 10 pro, It might not be good for some but is for me

christiangrimes7  Yes, either one would be fine.  The Strix is a higher-quality laptop overall, and it also has a faster graphics card.  The MSI runs somewhat hot and noisy, but that shouldn't be a problem if you use headphones; its graphics card is still more than fast enough for whatever Sims 4 content you install.

looks like im getting strix i hate noisy computers 

puzzlezaddict​  sorry to bother u again but how loud would the 2nd one be im having way too of a hard time saving up money for the first and my current computer seems to be getting worse by the day 

christiangrimes7​  It's difficult to quantify how loud a laptop would be.  But if you look for video reviews of the MSI Katana, specifically with a 13th-gen Intel processor, you should get some idea.  The video should include audio of the laptop under load.

Keep in mind that Sims 4 shouldn't max out the laptop, so what you hear will be louder than what you'd see in your own use case.  But you should still be able to get a good idea.

the review i found was hard to tell cause the guy had the game sound on i play sims silently and listen to youtube videos while i play 

if i didnt play in such a dark space i would probably break down and forget about the light up keyboard
