I got a new computer to play the sims 4. I wouldn't have gotten such an expensive desktop or one with these features if I did not want to play the sims 4. But I also did not have a computer or laptop and was entering school again. So that's how I tried to justify my decision to myself. But sims 4 was the reason I went for a desktop instead of getting a laptop, like I originally wanted.
Yep. I will and do buy PCs in order to play the games that I love, including the Sims. Compared to other AAA games, the Sims doesn't ask for nearly as much muscle.
I always buy the best gaming computer that I can afford. If I can't get exactly what I want, I wait until I can. I believe in buying computers that are future-proof -- not just for today, but for tomorrow. That way, I don't have to upgrade as often. For me, gaming is my favored hobby, so it's worth the up front investment in order to have years of enjoyment.
I did for Sims 2 after I found out the specs needed to play it. The computer wasn't used just for TS2, but I made sure it would run it before purchase and it was the only video game I played. So, in a sense, yes, I bought a computer to play TS2. I'll be getting a new computer someday, hopefully soon, to replace the toaster laptop I play TS4 on now too.
The Sims 4 literally killed my last computer. Then another computer I played the Sims 4 on, the GPU went haywire. So I made it my mission to get a computer that plays the game on ultra and won’t die on me xD

No matter how beast your PC is you will still encounter lag and long loading times. Sims 1, 2, 3, and 4 all suffer from this. Namely when you start to add a lot of DLC, CC, and play on large lots with more than a few Sims on it at once. Sims 4 is getting really bad with lag.

Depends what I was spending on the build, but probably not. You certainly won't see all the benefits of building a state-of-the-art gaming PC if you restrict yourself to TS4 since the optimization is so bad. It's only when you play games like Wolfenstein 2: The New Collosus at a stable 120 FPS that you can appreciate a newly built rig.
No because my computer currently meets the requirements. At the same time I have a motherboard and CPU to do a build with. I am only doing that build just to have a backup computer. It be all built by March.
My current computer can't even run the Sims 4 anymore, and I don't even want to think of trying the Sims 3 on it. I can still run the Sims 2 just fine on medium graphics settings, but I'm definitely going to get a new computer so I can play the Sims 4 with good graphics.
I bought a new one recently even though there was absolutely nothing wrong with my 3-year-old HP - apart from the fact that it couldn't run The Sims 4 very well. I tried to convince myself that I really wasn't buying that €1000+ laptop just to play one game - I have always wanted to play games like GTA V and story-based games like The Walking Dead, so it was just me wanting to game in general, not just me wanting to play TS4... that's what I told myself. I did buy these games and also played them... for a bit. The Sims, on the other hand, I've been obsessed with ever since I bought this gaming laptop. Still telling myself "you just wanted to experience gaming in general" but really... it's probably a yes haha.
However, I wouldn't spend too much on it. No more than the €1200 I spent on this one - originally didn't want to go above a thousand, so I already went over budget a bit. I start thinking of all the drinks and clothes and make-up I could buy with those "few" hundred bucks extra and with that in mind, I do consider it a bit of a waste. Also, if with future updates this laptop would no longer be able to play on Ultra, I'd still stick with it. If it has trouble running TS5 in a few years, I'll still stick with it...
I think.
I did ask my mom for new parts back in the day. Now, if my computer couldn't play the latest Sims game, it probably wouldn't play most new games either, so I might as well invest in something that works.

I did. Now buying other games to try to justify the purchase though!

I wouldn’t pay over a grand it The Sims 5 went bat crazy with spec needs.
It would have to be the best Sims game ever by a long shot. And I don’t see that happening.

Why did you think that @Yardenro? I think you underestimate how much people love this game!
