Will this computer work?
Is this laptop good for Sims 2, 3, 4 & their expansions (not all), and other miscellaneous games like Stardew Valley, etc?

Insufficient CPU, Graphics and RAM so the answer is no.
The review is several years old so it isn't even for sale anymore.
Look for specs like these:
High end
CPU = Intel I5/I7 generation 7 or better AMD Ryzen 8 or better
RAM = 8GB DDR4 or more
HDD = 250GB SSD with secondary HDD for storage.
Graphics = Geforce 1060 6GB or equivalent AMD card
Budget
CPU = Intel I5/I7 generation 5 or better I3 generation 8 AMD Ryzen 5 or better
RAM = 8GB DDR4
HDD = 1TB Hybrid drive
Graphics = Geforce 1050 or Geforce 1060 3GB or equivalent AMD card
If you find one you like and want an opinion feel free to post a link.
How about this one? (I see the specs are different, and I found Amazon selling them)

Then it will do very well.
Edit: It has come to my attention that The sims 3 does not like the MX150 graphics card. or the U (ultra low power) processor range.
One more question, will that mean I'll have to run it on lower quality, or not at all?
It means that the Sims 3 may run poorly or not at all on this configuration. I don't believe that graphics quality matters much here.
