  Hello,
  
  Although it depends on which expansions, that laptop should be able to play the game at low-medium settings. You may not be able to play with some of the more demanding EPs such as Pets.
  
  What is your budget?
  
  I hope this helps and keep simming,

  Hi thank you, i thought that with that with that graphic card i'd be able to, i dont have pets but i was told that i should look for a card over 860 so i assumed that 930 would be good on normal settings, i am getting really confused to wich card i need i have been looking for a while now

  I can see why you're confused about the NVIDIA naming scheme - the first number (GTX 8xx or GTX 9xx) indicates which series the graphics card is from, with the higher number being newer, and the second number indicates how powerful the card is. So x30M and x40M are fairly low, x50M and x60M are mid-range and good for games like The Sims 3 and The Sims 4, and x70M and x80M are top range for more demanding games.
  
  So the GTX 930M is actually less powerful than the GTX 860M.
  
  I hope this somehow makes sense.

  You need an 860m or 960m and make sure the card is DDR5 vram not DDR3. The 50 cards 850 or 950 come with DDR3 vram so they may struggle more if the laptop is 1080p resolution.

  I personally would not buy AMD in a laptop. Especially if the laptop has a AMD processor APU
