      According to the laptop survey thread(can't link, still a new member) , your graphics card can run The Sims 3 on High with all expansion packs. If the computer has no problem playing Sims 3, the laptop can play Sims 4.

      You seem to be ok to run the game. Now that the TS4 CAS demo is out, you should try it and make some sims!
      Want to see my sims? find me in the Gallery by my Origin ID: metalfenix_Raf

      Want to see the Custom Content CAS Pieces I created? Check ModTheSims, Sims 4 Studio Forums

      I should have said that this is a computer I'm going to buy. Currently I have a mac, and they're not making it for the Mac.

      The gt 754M is not a very powerful card.. on the sims 3 I think you might lag on high and might have problems with the sims 4 once you add the coming expansions.

      Judging by this :
      http://gpuboss.com/graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-850M
      The card is allot better then the gt740M.. almost similar to my gtx 765M which I think should work well.
