My computer could barely handle The Sims 3. It would completely crash when I played the game. The computer would completely black out and I would have to restart it. This was back when I still had a laptop with Windows XP. I would have to find a computer that will run The Sims 5 smoothly. If I decide to buy it, I will have to ask around about which ones will run the game. I will also have to find one that will not break the bank either.
This is depressing, do you realize when TS3 was released most average people were using Windows 7 which was released like in 2007 and though TS3 may have said you could play it (minium requirements) on XP it was built for Windows 7. Vista was a gnat that went by with hardly anyone noticing. The best thing to do if you want new hardware is to stop buying games and buy better hardware because old pcs wind up like an old deck tape or vhs tape. Hardware is everything and not a game. (The OS will matter, too). Built for windows 10 though they will lie and say Windows 7 can play it they shouldn't since support ends for 7 in 2020.
