It is a cheap computer because I will only be using it for the sims 3 and sims 4 and basic internet use so I do not need anything special.

The rest of the PC is mostly okay. The RAM and hard drive is fine. The AMD processor is a bit iffy, since it's a dual core, but it should suffice I guess. That graphics card is an issue though. If you are sourcing that from HP, and can configure it with a different graphics card, do so. Alternatively, if you wish, you can list a budget and where you prefer to buy from and people can give recommendations.
However, my old laptop was an HP 4GB RAM dual core, 500GB HD (or maybe it was 350, can't remember) with AMD 2.0 processor and AMD graphics. I had all TS3 expansions/stuff packs installed on there and it all still ran and looked fine.
Despite what others say, TS3 can and will run on basic/cheap computers. There is no rhyme or reason to the glitches and laggy-ness of this game. I have read plenty of posts and stories where even people with super computers experienced crashing and lag.
Luckily, all three of my computers that I have played TS3 on, all ran the game fine with little to issues. I guess I just lucked out with this game.
Good luck.
