I bought my current laptop in 2014 and recently my laptop has been shutting down while playing the sims 4. It never happened in the early days so this problem is relatively new. The laptop does appear to be over heating more lately while running any games so i was thinking it was time to move all my games to a newer machine especially for games.
Even SimCity 2013 managed to shut my laptop down on Sunday so it seems like an over heating issue.

Make sure that your graphics drivers are uptodate.
Using a cooling pad can help.

If you want someone to look at your computer specs please post your dxdiag. To gather a dxdiag, windows key + r key. This will open the run box in the lower left hand corner of your computer. in the run box type DxDiag, hit ok , let it loadand choose to save the text file. The DxDiag text file will go to documents folder.
Sign up for a pastebin account https://pastebin.com . upload the DxDiag text file to pastebin and then post the pastebin link here with your Dxdiag

It's in pounds as i'm from the UK.

This laptop is way below requirements for the game.
All in ones are not for gaming and weaker than laptops. they are made for general use .They also have no cooling for gaming.
YOUR LOOKING AT A BUDGET OF $800 and up for a laptop that meets requirements to run this game. Prices vary in other countries.
If looking for a laptop you need specs below
Video card : Nvidia GTX 1050, 1050 ti or 1060
Processor: intel i5 r i7 quad core . The processor series number will end in HQ or MQ
You need at least 500 gb hard drive space or more
8gb computer ram
windows 64 bit

It meets requirements. You would have to install the game on the second 1 tb hard drive which is not hard to do. Your main drive C only has 128 gb ssd which is for booting windows and other programs quicker but it's too small to game on. If you buy this laptop, when you get it You can ask forum users rosemow and Dekay to help you with custom installing the game and setting up your laptop to play the game
Sorry to add to another thread but I'm not able to make my own threads yet. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on buying a new laptop that could run Cats and Dogs? I'm in Canada and my budget is around $800/900, but could probably manage around $1000. I'm really lost when it comes to computer requirements, and couldn't tell what met the requirements for this pack.
Does anyone know if either of these would run that expansion pack? I guess I can't post links right now, but I was looking at an acer aspire e15 on amazon (e5-576g-5762). It says it has 8th gen intel core i5-8250U, nividia geforce mx150, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd. It says it has 1.6ghz, but it also says it has up to 3.4ghz?
There was also a similar Acer Aspire at Walmart (a515-51g-56t5) with intel core i5-8250u, 2gb nividia geforce mx150, 8gb ram, 1tb hard drive, 1.6ghz.
Or does anyone know of any laptops that are able to run this expansion, close to this price range? I know a desktop would be ideal, but for now I have to have a laptop for my program.
Thanks :)
These laptops are not designed for gaming and are below recommended requirements. i have no idea how they would run C & D.
Newegg Canada web has an MSI laptop model GL62M 7RDx-NE1050i5 Item # N82E16834154734 It's a newegg Canada exclusive laptop , it's $929 CAD and meets requirements to run the game
