Will these Specifications be able to run all the Sims 3 Games?
« on: September 16, 2016, 08:19:06 AM »
Hello, thank you for reading this. I've decided that I really need a new computer for playing the Sims, my laptop is slowing down and running all the sims games and content causes it to crash occasionally! I do have every Sims 3 game except the last stuff pack, I do own quite a bit of store content such as four worlds, a lot of clothing and furniture and I have a small amount of custom content, nothing too drastic just several hairstyles, a skin tone and some pieces of build mode objects, ideally I'd like to finally be able to play the Sims 3 on medium or higher settings with all of my content whilst there being minimal lag or problems to my game, and I was wondering if this desktop would be the one? I would really appreciate any help and thank you for reading :)

3.4GHz Intel Quad Core i5 4460 Gaming Desktop PC
8GB RAM
1TB Hard Drive
Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti graphics

Yes this computer should do fine with Sims 3, expansions, stuff packs, store content plus custom content and mods on med to high settings.

However with Sims 3, please keep in mind due to the game engine's quirks the game still suffers from micro-stutters and periodic slow downs. There is not a lot you can do to fix this.

Also the more content you add to the game, like custom content, game mods and store content the more the game will lag. This is due to the way the game handles additional content. Again, not much can be done to speed that up unfortunately. But it is far less noticeable on a desktop.
