What are your computer specs?

I'm in need of a new laptop or desktop, and I want to make sure that I could play the Sims 4 smoothly on high graphics. I also still play the Sims 2 as well. Thanks!

Hello,

It is less expensive to buy a desktop to play at Ultra high settings. I would advise getting an Intel Core i5 (or AMD FX series if on a tighter budget), 8GB of RAM and a GTX 750 Ti / R9 260X or greater graphics card.

I hope this helps and keep simming,

Cody

Thanks Cody! :)

i5 2500k OC'ed to 4.4, 8GB of Ram, GTX 770, I wouldnt bother with a laptop designed for games. I've made the mistake twice in the past, once from alienware and once from dell. Both times the system was marketed as being upgradeable. Neither system was supported with the upgrade parts for more than 1 generation.

MysteriaDays

Thank you Saranis!

I have this laptop http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00J2PLCJ2/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3/277-1382428-5527930?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_r=0RD4ZY1WFEGKPKX6A95M&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=479289247&pf_rd_i=B00J2PLP2Q this runs it on ultra, no lag or anything ran perfectly for 6 hours, this also runs the sims 3 with all the eps and sps and most of the store content perfectly too and world of Warcraft all of these on the highest graphics settings

2.4GHz and 4GB of RAM runs TS4 at Max (Laptop Mode) and TS3 at Max no lag. And I have 32MB of dedicated video memory but it manages to run all those things lagless its SO WEIRD!
Edit: is a laptop

Here are my PC specs:
Intel Core i5-4570 Haswell Quad-Core 3.2GHz
8GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB
Windows 7 Home Premium

chesterbigbird

Intel Coe I7 3770
8GB ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 over clocked.

And for my laptop,
Intel core I7 4700mq
16gb ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M
Both run excellent.

I have an MSi-GT70 2OC with these specs

Intel Core i7-3630OM Processor
Nividia GeForce GTX 675 2GB DDR5
12GB RAM
Windows 8.1

I run all settings at high except I turn Edge Smoothing off cause it helps run the game at 60fps. I don't care if my Sims have jagged edges around them. I also turned laptop mode on, that too also helps my game run faster but I sacrifice certain visuals.

MysteriaDays

Thanks everyone! All of you have been really helpful :)

I'm looking at MSi laptops on Amazon at the moment since quite a few people have recommended them.

Msi are good gaming laptops.. however they tend to be a little over priced.. Lenovo or Asus can be cheaper and both are just as good.

MysteriaDays

Good to know chesterbigbird. Guess I have to do further research ;)
Which laptop/desktop brand do you have?

chesterbigbird

my desktop is a custom built one. I picked all the parts and got someone to build it..(I don't have the patience.)
And my laptop is a metabox (Australian brand.) But it's from Clevo which I think is American.
I would honestly go desktop if you want the luxury of upgrading your parts in a few years.. desktops last longer and are much better and cheaper.
As for specs for a desktop.. a good intel core i5 cpu,
8 or even 16GB ram.
And either a Amd R9 260 or greater graphics card or Nvidia GeForce Gtx 750 ti or greater.

BrandonBear

Yeah MSi laptops are definitely over priced but they are pretty good since you can just take them any where. I've taken my laptop all kinds of places and played a few games on it. But then again I don't play the hardcore games, if you just plan to play Sims 4 then a decent cheap computer would be best.

Is the game crashing on you guys?
Because I'm thinking if I would upgrade my pc that will stop the game from crashing so much!

I currently have:
NVIDIA GEForce 9400 GT
2GB RAM
AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.01GHz
32-Bit operating system

What do you suggest?

You need more than 2GB of ram.. I'm sure that's why you are crashing.
You have 2GB of ram installed but after windows an other applications that drops to around 1GB.
Try turning off all background tasks.

My computer is more than is necessary: i7-4770 cpu @ 3.4ghz, 8GB ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660. However the reason I'm saying this is my game has crashed a couple of times... although I think each time it was because origin wanted me to update the game. Still, I have had no issues with babies or scary bugs like that.

cale2003

great specs guys

It's a laptop

Happy Simming!

The baby thing was mostly for people using integrated or dual graphics on laptops.
I myself have had 1 crash when I alt tabbed out of the game.. it's still early day's I'm sure most things will be fixed with coming patches.. the deformed babies have been fixed today in the new patch.

Haven't had any issues. no crashes or bugs. Also plays games like world of warcraft absolutely fine.

**adding on** I too suggest a desktop. It's a lot easier to switch out parts when needed. I myself built my own desktop as I figured it would be less expensive in the future when I have to switch graphic cards, etc to keep up with the games.

My system is very outdated, but plays the Sims, World of Warcraft, and other games phenomenally well. I haven't had any errors or issues with the Sims 4, and in fact it plays much smoother than 3.
