  • @green8389  Technically, yes, this laptop can run all current Sims 4 content together, probably on medium graphics settings.  However, it has so little storage, you wouldn't really have room for anything significant aside from Sims 4, and you might run out of space anyway if you started downloading a significant amount of custom content.  So you'd need to be very careful with what data you kept around.

    You'd also need to switch Windows out of S mode, which is free and simple to do.  I'm only mentioning it because you'd need to do this before the OS would allow you to install Sims 4, or Origin or the EA App for that matter.

    If you're interested in other options, this HP has the same hardware as the Dell (and also Windows 11 in S mode), except it has twice the storage and is $30 cheaper:

    These two are more expensive but have a faster processor and graphics chip, plus 256 GB storage:

    I checked a few other sites and didn't see anything equal or better for a similar price, but prices may keep dropping over the next few days.
