Hey Simmers I did something new yesterday and drove to BestBuy and bought a brand new gaming laptop 

MSI - THIN 15 15.6" 144Hz FHD Gaming Laptop-Intel Core i5-13420H - 16GB Memory - GeForce RTX 4050 - 512GB SSD - Black

and what a huge difference it made to play my Sims 4, it is faster then my old Dell inspiiron Intel i5 5000 series. 

My old Dell decided to get weird on my I had it since the world wide shut down from that COVID-19 pandemic. So it has been several years and guess my old laptop is like a 100 year old person it did not want to keep running like it use to do. Anyways if you having issues maybe it is time for a newer better product. I am very happy with my new Laptop. Lol 😆 

It only costed me $763.99 included taxes. And it was worth every penny. Gaming laptop dose way up to clocking 144 GHz speed is awesome. I am just going to start all over, made a new Sim and next time I play going to build her business and Hobbies. Graphics are awesome. It has a Dragon logo on the lid, lol

BestBuy has some excellent laptops for gaming like Sims 4.

Thought I would share this.
