I finally got a gaming computer and OMG! Loading screens are no longer an issue. They zip by quickly. This is the first time I didnt mind letting my SIM travel here and there. I dreaded it before because the loading screen took absolutely forever. My computer wasn't the best. Now I'm just happy as heck because for the first time, I can actually REALLY enjoy playing my Sims.😊

Enjoy your new and improved simming experience!
I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night.
Ha'aheo, e hoʻomau i kō kāua aloha, kau a kau.
My old pc did run the game just fine, but had gotten slower under all the years of more and more dlc.
LOL. Will be completely laughable if you couldnt...

@telmarina I bought my PC a few years ago so it's not the newest specs and it runs the Sims 4 with most packs just beautifully on ultra, with room to upgrade. I have:
OS: Windows 10 Home
Processor: Intel i7 7700 CPU 4.20gb
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080
Memory 16gb DDR4 3200 (I think)
Motherboard: MSI
Brand: PowerSpec
Hard Drive: 500gb SSD
I got it at the Micro center, so I don't know if you have one in your area or not. They've been having trouble keeping some of their PCs in stock lately, though. I think it's because the pandemic has slowed down production.

Note: I think their prices have gone up a bit as well, probably due to supply and demand.
That's great to hear! I know the feeling sis. Just play like the world is ending.

I wish I could buy a better computer too. I bought a gaming laptop on 2017 when Cats & Dogs came out and the salesguy told me that I can play any game with it on ultra graphics. Well... not Sims 4 apparently. The lag was awful, so I had to turn down the graphics on high. Now after the years I've already had to turn the graphics on medium (some even on low). I can't buy a desktop, because I need a laptop (for other things than just for gaming) and I can't afford both.
I've never had problems with loading screens, though, they work fast, but the lag is an issue that gets worse and worse.
(For reference this is pools with laptop mode and without)
It's an incredible difference. I'm so looking forward to go back to ultra...
ETA light and shadows are just amazing in ultra! I play in medium and i can't notice the different angles of the sun rays anymore...
I honestly think a lot of issues simmers have (not all) have to do with the pc or lap they are using.
Then recently I treated myself to a matching pink light up mechanical keyboard/mouse that let's me control my music from the background without minimizing the screen and it really makes it even more enjoyable!!
I'm glad to hear you are having fun with you new PC! 🤗🤗
Whoa that's crazy 😮😮😮
I know for some reason people seem to think sims is a pretty simple game to run compared to others.
I hear people suggesting others all the time they only need a basic laptop to play and I'm like 👀
I guess they go by the minimum specs required. But just based on personal experience and what others say this game requires a power house 😅😅 even my sister has problems on ps4 with all the packs but everyone who plays on ps5 says it's 100 times better like a PC upgrade so she is going to get a ps5 when she can.
The first thing that floored me was how fast the game itself loaded up. On my MacBook I remember waiting over 15 minutes at one point. Also, I remember feeling kind of bad when I saw how beautiful other people's games and sims looked.
Now we're up to speed. Happy simming!
