Hi all, I have a quick question. I'm a click away from purchasing a new laptop which os is windows 10, but wanted to know if Sims 4 was compatible with windows 10. I've read some threads where other simmers were having issues with running Sims 4 on windows 10. If not, are there any fixes for this issue?

Sims 4 is compatible with Windows 10. There are many simmers playing the game who have Windows 10.
It is exciting that you are getting a new laptop!

(yes, I know it's not a gaming laptop) I only play the Sims series and I'm a student, so I only needed a laptop for such uses. I have an awesome cooling pad that cooled down my previous overheating laptop. So I know I'll be fine.
What is its graphics card?
You need a dedicated card; not a integrated card.

I have a now-older HP Pavillion that, overall, has been the best computer I've ever owned in terms of how well it's help up to the abuse I throw at it
That being said, though - according to HPs specs for the Envy 15T, the I7-6700 only comes with the Intel HD Graphics 530 - which you are probably going to regret. Intel graphics result in you having the processor also pretending to be a graphics card. While that can work in some situations, there IS a reason that separate graphic cards/chip exist. A cooling pad isn't going to substitute for plain old processing power in a few years when we have several more EPs and the game has been updated and patched a zillion times. These games always get more and more demanding - performance for the game is not going to get better as time goes on.
I would actually cancel the order, if you can - or contact them to see if there is anyway to get the specifications changed. Although upgrading to the 950M graphics will lower the processor to an i7 6500, you'll benefit enormously from having two chips that can each do their own job independently.

@phoebebebe13 might be able to help.

I should add if you already bought that HP laptop and can't change it, you would be better off with a desktop for this game. Its more powerful than a laptop and cheaper. If you want to go desktop let me know and Ill find you something
Thanks, but that link doesn't work. I may have a little more to add to the $800...may extend to $1000.
Thats odd the link is working for me. Is your computer blocking it? This is $969 no tax outside CA, TN , NJ and better than the one I posted. This has a better processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834234041&cm_re=960m-_-34-234-041-_-Product
This is $899 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154111&cm_re=960m-_-34-154-111-_-Product
It still needs a good cooling system though when playing Sims4.
Read some reviews & magazines - you might find a good laptop on offer currently.
*Although those websites are helpful, I'm looking for laptops that are within my budget and I could get with my employee discount card*
It only has 256 gb hard drive space which is small. Its an SSD which you cant defrag but will boot windows quicker than a regular hdd hard drive. It has an i5 processor instead of i7. On laptop you should look at i7 quad over an i5 since i7 is in your budget with laptops I posted. This game is CPU heavy. The game requires an i5 on desktop which is stronger than laptop processor so you want i7 on laptop
also the laptops I posted will have better cooling because they are made to run games like the sims or even heavier games. I own an Asus republic of gamers ( ROG) laptop and I never need cooling pad . Asus and MSI make good gaming computers. Dell is not really a gaming manufacturer so you might have issues with cooling on that dell laptop
You may have seen the wrong specs...this one is 15.6 in, screen resolution: 1920x1080, processor: 2.6ghz core is 6700hq, 8gm ddr3l sdram, hard drive: 1 TB hybrid HDD + flash cache (what does this mean)? graphics: Nvidia GeForce gtx 960M 4gb gddr5. It's a dedicated card.
