Will sims 3 run on this laptop? «12345...Next Go

Christopher69B

Does anyone know if sims 3 will run alright on these laptop specs?

Processor: Intel® Core® i5-6200U Processor - Dual-core - 3.4 GHz / 3.8 GHz with Turbo Boost - 3 MB
Ram: 8GB
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 920M (2 GB GDDR3)
Operating System: Windows 10 64 bit
Hard drive: 1TB

phoebebebe13

that is a very low end laptop not designed to run 3d games like the sims.. You may be able to run the base game and a few earlier eps on low. If your looking to run the whole sims 3 or at least the more demanding eps like pets, seasons, ip and itf you will need a much more powerful gaming laptop.

Processor has to be 2.4 Ghz or better.

Video card you need : Nvidia GTX 960, 970, 1050, 1050 ti, 1060

8gb computer ram

at least 500 gb hard drive space

windows 64 bit

Im looking to run the whole game with all expansion packs my budget is around £500-£560. My current laptop cannot run it very well and lags quite a bit so I was looking to upgrade.

phoebebebe13

That is a very low budget. You need at least 700 pounds for a laptop to run this game. Maybe more. You might be able to find a desktop in your price range though you won't get a monitor and maybe not keyboard or mouse included.

With the laptop it has a very small ssd for booting windows quicker. You can not game on it.You would have to install the game on the second hard drive and move your documents folder to your second hard drive

This is a whole bundle on desktop

phoebebebe13

This has older hardware but is a little cheaper. This also has two hard drives even though amazon is not listing the second hard drive. Again you would have to install the game on the second hard drive and move your documents folder to the second hard drive

I’ve seen a few gaming desktops around £400-£570 with pretty much same specs as the ones you’ve linked. Only problem with desktops I don’t have much room but if they are going be better for running sims 3 and other games in general I’ll try and go for one them. Also would I be able to transfer my game saves from my old computer to new one using a usb stick?

You need to be careful when buying a desktop. You should have a good power supply at least 500 watt. Also the case should have room for upgrades or able to switch out hardware. It should also have good cooling too. Not all desktops can be upgraded. If the desktop has a small case you may have bad cooling. Can you link the desktops your looking at?

Yes you can transfer by copping your sims 3 folder in documents to a usb flash drive . You install the sims 3 from scratch on a new computer. Start the game and exit. This will create a new sims 3 folder in documents. you can then switch out the new sims 3 folder for your old sims 3 folder you saved on flash drive

phoebebebe13

I find this. I don't know what power supply is in it. You would have to contact fierce and ask. This also has an older processor but it would run the game. Also it only comes with a windows trial. windows will add $100 to the price on any computer

and this comes with windows 10 installed again has an older processor and does not list power supply https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fierce-Gaming-PC-Desktop-Computer/dp/B0725WN733/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1506079433&sr=8-16&keywords=fierce+pc

Here are a few I’ve seen im quite tight on budget so can’t pay to much for one at the moment.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/122571957662

All these say they are gaming pc so they will probably be able to run sims 3 alright I hope

AMD is cheaper than Nvidia intel. This also has windows installed https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fierce-Gaming-PC-Desktop-Computer/dp/B072PQJ6WT/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1506080206&sr=8-2&keywords=fierce+pc+rx+460+fx6300

You have a low budget and your not going to get great hardware. Something in the computer may be lacking or have old hardware

phoebebebe13

@Christopher69B None of computers you posted on ebay even come close to meeting requirements . The GT 710 card is old and just as weak as your GT 920m card in your laptop

phoebebebe13

This is probably as cheap as you can go 484 pounds and at least Fierce gives you a 3 year warranty https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fierce-Gaming-PC-Desktop-Computer/dp/B071LMTYMR/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1506080206&sr=8-4&keywords=fierce+pc+rx+460+fx6300

The one you posted seems quite good for the price will this be able to run most games? Is this also upgradable I might have to go with this one if it’s able to run other games.

I found the same computer for 484 pounds so that will save you.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fierce-Gaming-PC-Desktop-Computer/dp/B071LMTYMR/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1506080206&sr=8-4&keywords=fierce+pc+rx+460+fx6300

You would have to ask fierce about upgrades. They give you a 3 year warranty. You may not be able to upgrade while under warranty. The RX 460 is a good video card but it only has two gb vram. That is enough for the sims but you may have some issues running a game like GTA V . You really need a 4gb vram card for that game. The processor is also older and fine for the sims 3. Most heavier games require an AMD FX 8000 series, intel i5 or i7 but again your looking at more money for a better video card and processor

What other games on you playing?

I was also hoping to run GTA V as well as sims 3 as well and wasn’t really sure if this pc would run it very well. With you saying that it requires 4GB ram card to run it.

GTA V requires a 4gb vram card. It uses a little under 4gb. It also requires a higher card and processor especially if your planning on modding GTA V. I have a GTX 960 4gb card with an i5 intel processor. It will run gta on ultra as long as I don't mod the game. I will also get really low fps drops if near an explosion. If you intend on playing GTA on PC rather than console I would save up for a better PC.

Would something like this run both sims 3 & GTA V? It has a intel i5 processor 3.4GHz x4, GTX 1050Ti 4GB. I wanna make sure I get the right pc before I decide on making a purchase.

That is really cheap for the hardware they are giving you . I would worry about power supply and warranty. It will run GTA but you may have to lower your settings if you mod the game. if it has a low power supply you my have more trouble. That pc only has slightly better specs than I have. Also my hardware is certified custom not generic. This seller is giving you generic hardware. Certified custom hardware costs more

phoebebebe13

If you were going to heavily mod GTA you would need an Nvidia GTX 1070, 1080, 1080 ti card. AMD RX 480 or rx 580. Processor i7 intel or AMD FX 8000 series , or one of AMDs new higher end Ryzen processors (they make lower end) . You would need to save up. Your looking at allot more money

phoebebebe13

You would have to ask cyberpower what power supply is in here. They have a tendency to put low power supply in their pre-build computers. You would also have to install all your games on the second hard drive https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cyberpower-Blaster-RX580-Eight-Core-Gaming/dp/B0733LNBXD/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1506085183&sr=8-5&keywords=rx+580+gaming+desktop

I also found this one, I’m quite limited to space so I can’t buy anything to big. I’ve looked at the specs and they seem pretty much the same as the ones you have listed.

That case is horrible. Has bad cooling and HP's are very hard to upgrade. I would never recommend HP for gaming. I also would not recommend refurbished unless they are giving you a good warranty

You need a good case with good cooling and room for upgrades or switching out hardware. The case is just as important as the hardware inside.

My current pc is a HP at the moment which used to run sims 3 smoothly but now I get quite a bit of lag. I only picked out that one cause it wouldn’t take up to much room, and I don’t really have to much space to store one.

You would also have to install all your games on the second hard drive https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cyberpower-Blaster-RX580-Eight-Core-Gaming/dp/B0733LNBXD/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1506085183&sr=8-5&keywords=rx+580+gaming+desktop

I also found this one, I’m quite limited to space so I can’t buy anything to big. I’ve looked at the specs and they seem pretty much the same as the ones you have listed.


Gaming PC HP 8300 Elite Quad Core i5-3470, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, WiFi, Windows 10 64Bit Desktop PC Computer With Antivirus https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071NHBRW9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xqtXzb1D3W8MH

That case is horrible. Has bad cooling and HP's are very hard to upgrade. I would never recommend HP for gaming. I also would not recommend refurbished unless they are giving you a good warranty

You need a good case with good cooling and room for upgrades or switching out hardware. The case is just as important as the hardware inside.

My current pc is a HP at the moment which used to run sims 3 smoothly but now I get quite a bit of lag. I only picked out that one cause it wouldn’t take up to much room, and I don’t really have to much space to store one.

No offence but you need good cooling while gaming. Buying a desktop that has no cooling or room for upgrades would not be wise and a waste of money. If you don't have the room than I suggest saving up for a laptop that meets requirements. They are more expensive than a desktop. You pay for being mobile and portable. You would also need a better laptop than the one I posted for the sims 3 if your going to play GTA. Laptop hardware is weaker than desktop hardware and all PC games require desktop
