I'm currently playing on laptop mode with low settings, so my game runs perfectly. I just want to know whether my laptop would physically get fried if I install cats and dogs, because my previous computer broke because I played on maximum settings. This, however, was a much less advanced laptop. I'm not concerned about it running optimally, I just want to be able to play it without breaking my PC.
My specs are:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.17 GHz
Installed RAM: 8GB
System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Thank you

I am not sure if you saw that Louise_G0325 has posted the DXDiag info. You were both posting at the same time

@Louise_G0325 as I suspected your laptop is under requirements. Playing this game on it is a risk of damaging that laptop. There is no way for us to tell you if the game has already done damage and will it do damage in the future. It;s a risk. You can play in windowed mode, lower the in game resolution, check off laptop mode, play at low settings . All this will take stress off your laptop. Remove CC and mods. This will make the game play worse and put more stress on your laptop. Own a laptop cooling pad if you don't own one. Ideal would be to own a computer that meets requirements.
I don't know how well or badly your laptop will run C & D. EA does not give refunds on EPs if you can't play it or it causes more issues to your game. Every time you add more and more to this game, the game will become more demanding to a computer. To keep adding to this game , you need a computer that meets recommended requirements
I understand. I am currently not really buying more stuff in fear of my laptop breaking, so I guess that I'll have to wait until I get a better one. The current sale just made me really want to get it
Thank you again! Have a nice day x

Hello @Ninarose0
You haven’t posted all the DXDiag info , to pastebin . Could you please post all the infornation to pastebin and then link it here again?
I am sorry though but by looking at your processor, it doesn’t meet the recommended requirements to run the game and packs , and with your computer crashing with Cats and Dogs ep, you may also have the same issues with Seasons I am so sorry
You also have less than 4gb of Ram for the game and computer to use. You may also have an integrated processor video graphics card. It would be using the same computer ram along with the game , origin, windows and other programs that you have on your computer. These things can cause crashing issues.
If you have another computer it would be best to play on that if it is has higher computer specifications.

When I bought cats and dogs and went into Create a Pet I was not able to create a dog without my game crashing. I'm scared that specific seasons could crash my game like creating a dog did. Here is a dxdiag h.t.t.p.s://pastebin.com/nkAVUTbE

I'm just going to hope that it doesn't crash. I've been waiting for seasons for what seems like forever! I'd hate to not be able to play it. :disappointed:
Not being able to do dogs in CAS is a common sign of a computer that's well under requirements for the game. Seasons is going to also be hard on computers. If you are going to continue to play on that system, please be aware that it could result in damage to your computer. Consider at least starting to save for a higher-end replacement, especially if it's a laptop you need for school or work.
Should have no problem I run lap top with 1.40 ghz 8 gig ram only setting that is set to high is my Sim detail game lags a bit with a lot of sims around and sound skips. some times

Hello.
Seasons may cause you Issues, just like Cats and Dogs did. If you decide now or into the future that you would like to buy a new computer that can handle the game and packs, you can post on a thread here in the Tech section and simmers will offer help and suggestions about a capable computer.
