I have a question: with the increased ram requirements from 2gb to 4gb how much harder will a processor have to work? I imagine an increased work load would equal an increase in cpu temperature.
We have run several tests on this game. It's processor heavy. Will it get worse? I don't know. You will find out when you add the EP.
I see, thanks.
I'm not as concerned about overheating as much now I have a cooling pad; as is, in-game my cpu averages about 67-70 degrees C with the pad on so hopefully i won't change much.

For a gaming laptop 70-80 c is fine. If you start hitting 90 c that might be a problem even if your computer does not shut down.

Noted.
Without the cooling pad it was hitting 85+ at times but with it it occasionally gets up to 75, at about that time the internal fan goes (for a short while) up a gear, to the same speed it was on the whole time before I got the pad.
The gpu is averaging 47C which I hear is OK.

75 is ok for the CPU and GPU being at 47 is fine too.
It looks like its a bit slower than the GTX 1050 in "GRAPHICS" section so I'm not sure how it will go on High settings but I would say a sweet spot would be Medium with a few less intensive settings at High

It's in the graphics options of the games usually, in Sims 4 its "Screen Resolution" I believe and its near the top of the graphics menu and to play in 1080p the option is "1920x1080"

I don't have that resolution you posted as an option, only numbers higher than that.

I'm not too sure then, because in the game you should have all resolutions up to your max resolution all the way down to 1024x768 in Sims 4 (some games go even lower)

Hmm.
I've only got options higher than that, the highest being 3 thousand 1 hundred something something X something (sorry, can't remember the exact digits).
I'm playing on full screen mode does that make a difference?

No it should not make a difference, do you have 2560x1440? Depending on specs you might be able to get away with that.

I think I have (sorry, I'm not in game right now) but I've got it set as the lowest one which is lower than that. (It set it as that itself, I didn't change the resolution) - I'll have to have a look later and post exactly what resolution options I have.

Your GT 630m card is weak to play in 1080p resolution . The GT 630m has ddr 3 vram. You need a GTX card with ddr5 vram to game in 1080p . If your going to try and run 1080p on the 630m, windowed screen would be better

Cale, playing in windowed mode takes stress off a video card as opposed to playing in full screen

I wasn't actually looking to play in 1080 - it's not an option for me under the resolution bit of the graphics panel. I am curious though as to what it means.

Its a higher resolution but lower than 2 k or 4k . The higher the resolution the better the video card you need

75 is ok for the CPU and GPU being at 47 is fine too.
You can get a refund on digital copies . That's why I said try it out. If it does not work for you , ask for a refund.

Don't know a lot about that card if its dedicated or integrated and all that good stuff but from this link http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-Pro-560-vs-GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti I would say most likely, maybe drop AA a smudge or so.

on high settings?
Its kind of hard to tell because I can't find a lot on this card but it looks like it would do high settings if its on 1080p.
