Would this laptop be okay for Sims 4?
Hi everyone, I'm in the market for a new laptop (with a limited budget) and was hoping to get some advice. This one looks to have all the specs but I thought I would double check here - do you thin...

PinkElephants246 This laptop should be able to handle high graphics settings, maybe ultra depending on your play style and how much custom content you add. Mods that don't change how the game looks shouldn't have an effect on the graphics settings.
Do you specifically want something that's not a gaming laptop, or do you not care? Either way, I may be able to find something better than this—cheaper for the same performance, or faster for the same price—if you'd like me to look around. In that case, please let me know what other details, if any, matter to you.
Horrorgirl6 There's nothing special about Victus laptops, as in, they're not any better than other entry-level gaming laptops. And there's a particular reason NOT to buy one with an Intel processor right now: the game often doesn't start correctly, and the workarounds can be inconvenient or lower performance. Additionally, playing Sims 4 on a non-gaming laptop should absolutely not damage the laptop in any way as long as it can cool itself, which it should if it's not inherently defective.
LeissaMyst There's no reason a laptop Sims 4 needs more than 16 GB memory. The game shouldn't ever use nearly that much, so other specs are much more important after that. Also, the entire game takes up a little over 60 GB in storage, so 500 GB is wildly excessive for the game itself. Saves are relatively small too. The data that takes up all the space is typically custom content.
I was factoring in an unknown amount of CC tbpf, and the Windows Operating System, and the other sofware that is neccessary to use the computer....buying a laptop with 60 GB ONLY would be a mistake in today's market...I mean, when was the last time you had a HDD that had less than 500 GB? Maybe I worded my understanding wrong, but the idea was to give a realistic ballpark number. As for the RAM, it I didn't have the specs in front of me so I was going on what my memory was...16 GB is normal for games that run in DX12, but there's also the facet that the PC will likely be running that RAM-hog of a Windows 11 instead of Windows 10, so I factored that in too.
