How will Sims run on my Laptop?
« on: August 07, 2016, 08:37:45 PM »
I was thinking about buying sims and most or all of the stuff and expansion packs. I know it's not going to run on the best settings but i just wanna play. What all do you need from my DxDiag?

 I have the Sims 4 for a while and since my family used to have one computer, my dad would always go on it. So I decided, or tried, to download it on my family's laptop but it took a long time and I guess I never played it on there. Well anyway, if you install the Sims 3 on your laptop and wait a long time (I guess) you can try to play it. If it is glitch you can try downloading origin on any other computer and sign in and the Sims 3 should be there. Bye. :)

It might run *maybe* base game on lowest settings. This is due to having an very under-powered processor and video card that doesn't have enough dedicated memory. 

It's not recommended to run any other expansions or stuff packs, store content or custom content. As that will cause stress on the system and damage the laptop.

As it is, running the game on the laptop may encounter crashing, slowness, lag and won't be very pleasant. Unfortunately.

To run the game decently, these are the recommended specs:

Processor 2.4 Ghz or better
GTX or AMD R7 or better graphics card with 1 to 2 GB dedicated memory
8 GB system memory

For laptops - a cooling mat as running games will make the system run warm/hot.
