LeissaMyst I would never suggest anyone buy a laptop with 60 GB of storage, or even 128 GB if they can afford something better. My point was that since the game itself is only just over 60 GB, you don't need to budget 500 GB unless you're a cc hoarder or have other storage needs. A 256 GB drive is sufficient for most people, although since 512 GB options are not much more expensive, that's usually the best choice. More than that is not worth paying extra for if the only purpose of the machine is to run Sims 4.
Windows 11 itself only uses about 3 GB RAM, as opposed to 2 GB for Windows 10. The rest is bloatware and optional services and sometimes Windows enabling certain apps at startup by default. All of that should be removed or disabled in general regardless of how much memory is installed.
