Will the Sims 4 + cats and dogs work on my computer? (dxdiag included)

Hi,

Before purchasing the games, I would like to know if the Sims 4 base game and the Cats and Dogs expansion pack (that's coming out soon) will work on my computer? The dxdiag file is attached below. Please let me know asap. Thank you!

    Open Origin

    Click Free Games and select Trials.

    Scroll down to The Sims 4 Trial and click "Get it now".

    I downloaded the trial from Origin, and it works great on my computer. There isn't any lag or anything. Do you think that the full game with the expansion(s) will affect the gameplay at all?

    The Cats & Dogs Expansion will have a little higher demands but you will likely be able to play it since you don't have issues with the base game.

    Check that you have enough free disk space. It takes several GB.

    I just have two more questions, and then I will get the base game and when it is released, I will try out the cats and dogs pack. Does the Sims 4 trial differ from the real game in GBs? And does Origin show the amount of GBs for the cats + dogs expansion pack, so I can see if my computer has enough storage? Thank you for answering my post!

    Hi @Timberwolf099172,

    The trial's size is the same as the full base game (about 8.5 - 9 GB)  If you buy the base game, you don't need to download any extra GBs. The Cats & Dogs expansion pack size is not included in the trial or base game size, you have to add an extra 3 - 4 GB per expansion pack usually (system requirements for this expansion pack says at least 4 GB)
