Will 1GB RAM Be Enough?

Hey guys, so I ordered the Sims 3 Starter Pack (Includes Sims 3, Sims Late Night, and Sims 3 High End Loft Stuff), as well as the Sims 3 Pets EP. I'm planning to install it on this ancient Macbook I got as a hand me down, and it only has 1 GB of RAM. I know that the system requirements say 2 GB of RAM is needed (Or at least, I think so...) But is it still possible to install the game correctly and be able to play it with the amount of RAM I have?

You will be able to start the game but it won't run well at all, in 2009 when I used to play on a laptop I had 1.5gb of ram and fps were probably under 10, try and upgrade to 4gb at least, plus, graphics card and processor will also have an effect on that.

Sorry I don't even think you will be able to start the game

Just keep in mind that you don't raise your dedicated RAM too high. Java really doesn't like that.

With the expansions you have you will probably need 6 or 8 GB of RAM to play the game. Plus a dedicated graphics card.

My old laptop had 1.5gb of ram, I had the base, late night, high end loft stuff, island paradise and supernatural. It was painfully slow so I uninstalled the stuff pack. It ran a bit better, still lagged a lot though. In the end I got a new laptop with 8gb ram - it wasn't too expensive either ( about £300-400) so it was great
