Hello! Back again with another question lol I stopped searching and saving for a desktop for awhile, but now I am ready to get back to it. Again I am not looking to do anything other than play the Sims 4 and Sims 2 UC (I may add in one other game like Injustice 2, but may save for a console for that). For the sims 4 I am looking to purchase all of the EPs, 4 of the game packs (Outdoor, Dine Out, Parenthood, & Spa Day), and about 10 of the stuff packs.
IF I were to purchase something today with what I just mentioned. Would any of these desktops work?
Also, I was told that I would need to find a computer with 6gb or more of dedicated video memory... is that true?
It would not hurt to find one but you still can get by with 4 GB, however moving forward more than 6 GB of Vram may be the norm as they have crossed the threshold already.

@Goldmoldar A youtuber that plays the sims has a computer with Intel core i5-6402P 2.8GHz (3.4 GHz Turbo, 8GB DDR4-2133MHz, and 1TB Sata SSD. I looked up the desktop (she has an iBUYPOWER) and the VRAM was 4gb too. So if I went with something like that I would be ok momentarily?
Apologies just not understanding how the 4gb can affect the game play. Trying to play with high settings

You would be fine with Sims and maybe I should have made myself clearer, when I said developers have crossed the threshold some are recommending more than 4 Gb Vram. Also time goes by 4 Gb cards may become obsolete but you still can play some games and get results from 4 Gb cards depending on the model. As the CPUs become more powerful the GPU must also evolve. Specs usually get phased out slowly and not all at one time.

Hello, would a HP Elite 8300 Core i7 3.4GHZ, 512GB SSD, 16GB,Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit be a good tower or is it a terrible idea for the sims series?
What Graphics card does it have? I personally wouldn't recommend gaming on a HP that is that small as gaming generates heat and that desktop has basically nowhere for the heat to go.. which is a bad idea. (no ventilation or fans.)

It's Intel HD graphics. Its really cheap so I figured it would be a bad deal. The AMD series aren't a good idea for sims either are they? I'm sorry if I sound unintelligent, i'm just not very good with computers

Definitely a no with integrated graphics as it's not properly supported by the game.
AMD is not all bad, you just need to be looking at something higher end with AMD (ryzen 5 and above) graphics card Nvidia GTX 1050 and above.
Another post hijacker here! I'm also new and can't make my own post yet, and I figured this would be the best place to ask my question. I'm also looking for a new computer but I'm not quite sure if I want to browse best buy/walmart or go the custom made route. I have all the packs and I'm looking for something that'll let me play on ultra. My budget is around $1400 and I'm from the USA. Do you guys have any ideas or advice?

Thanks so much, I have decided that I am going to save up more money so I have a larger budget. I'm also probably going to just have someone build a pc for me(Like Cyberpower or Ibuypower) or build it myself. Do you think 2k would be more than enough to have a good one built that can play all expansions while also recording gameplay? I want it to be a good one, and don't want to be too cheap that it ends up bad.
I'm looking to buy a computer to play Sims 4 but don't want to spend too much as i won't be using it for much else. I'm looking at the ACER Aspire C22-860 21.5" All-in-One PC but not sure how well it will run?

All in ones are not made for gaming and are actually weaker than laptops. This game requires a gaming desktop tower. Laptop hardware is weaker. You need a more powerful gaming laptop to meet the game's requirements on desktop. What is your budget and country? If in the USA average is about $700 and up for desktop and laptop would be more
I’m looking for a good pc for sims 3 and 4 (I’m mostly a sims 3 player) I also love in the US, any recommendations (my budget is around $800) I don’t knkw if it’s possible to find a pc around that price that plays the sims preferably on high/ultra settings.
