i would really prefer to stay $300 or under but slightly over wont be too much of an issue. i would use all of the packs + cc and mods, which i know will affect the performance. thank you again for the response!

@12021818  I'm not seeing anything for $300 or less that's better than what you found, and not much that's even as good, certainly not for $250.  If you're comfortable going to $330 though, this one is the next tier up in terms of performance:

You'd be looking at medium-high graphics settings with all packs installed, maybe high settings depending on your play style, or maybe medium if you like to use high poly (high-resolution) custom content.  In any case, the improvement from a graphics standpoint would be significant.  The laptop has the same memory and storage as the one you found.

Having said that, it's definitely a significant price increase to jump to the higher tier of performance.  Whether it's worth the cost is your call.

    hm ok. i'm willing to go up to $330 if it means the performance will be a lot more playable.  Again thank you so so much for the help!!

      @herbimycin  This laptop could certainly run all current Sims 4 content, but probably only on low-medium settings, perhaps medium depending on your playstyle.  I can't see the price because I'm not in Italy, but I would guess you could do better for the same amount of money, and you could certainly find hardware that's a lot newer than the five-year-old processor in this laptop.

      If you're interested, let me know, and I can list the specs to look for in a better-performing laptop.  Or I could do the search myself and list some better possibilities.  In that case, let me know your budget as well as what stores you'd be willing to buy from so I know where to look.
