I do apologise, I must be blind lol cheers
Four Seasons Properties
Alienware
Intel Core i7 960 (3.2GHz, 8MB Cache)
6GB 1333Mhz DDR3
2.00GB Navidia GeForce GT 640 SC 128MB
1.2TB Raid 0(2x640GB SATA-11 7,200RPM,16MB Cache)
875w
Liquid C.
This is my system, when I took it in because of the heating problems with the 295, they could not figure out why it would be over heating with the sims game so they just recommended to go with the GT 640 instead. They said it could be just that the card was to much for the game. I really did not have a problem with the GTX 295 overheating doing other things just when I played the sims 3 games. I am afraid to put it back in not sure if it would run hot or not with sims 4.

That is your processor (CPU) not the graphics chip. However, I did a Google search, and you have the AMD Radeon HD 8330 integrated graphics chip. This should be able to play at low settings, however I think your CPU may not be powerful enough to play the game. So perhaps not supported for TS4.
Sorry for this inconvenience,
Cody

I also been playing the Demo without any problems, just not sure now if I will have problems with the game or not. I have not bought the game yet and don't plan on it until I make sure I am ok with the card I have. Thank you for putting this list together it is a great help!!

However, I think because 2GB GDDR5 GT 640s are rare, I expect the game will run at medium settings for you.

So now I am wondering if I should put the GTX 295 back in for the sims 4 what is your thought on this? The GT 640 ran the sims 3 great on all high settings but not the GTX 295, so why would it run the sims 4 better? I am confused on all this stuff.

If you manually checked your video card to see if its free from dirt clogging up the ventilation system and the card isnt know for being on the hot side, a common issue is that the Sims 3 had no built in framerate limiter and becuase of this it would overstress the GPU. Once I put on an evga frame limiter my game ran a lot better in general.
The Sims 4 was completely rebuilt as is the smoothest playing and fastest loading sims game I've ever played.
Hello,
The laptop versions of the cards are usually slightly more underpowered for gaming then the desktop versions. Despite this, the M265 should be able to handle medium-high settings.
I hope this helps and keep simming,

Need to upgrade? - $400 for high settings in Sims 4 --> http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LtphdC
Intel Celeron 900 2.2GHz Processor
15.6 inch WUXGA TFT Display
DVD±RW Optical Drive
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
Intel GMA 4500M Graphics Card
2GB RAM
The specs are for my old laptop that I got around 2009, it's a bit slow but as I don't use it I can clear a load of stuff off or even reset it completely if needs be. Hopefully my graphics card will be alright, but if not I've got backup as long as it's good enough?
Hello,
That laptop would probably struggle to play The Sims 4, even at low settings.

Hello,
Is this one you're building yourself or one that's been prebuilt? If its being built, there's a few changes I would make.
However, the GTX 650 would be compatible, but I would suggest getting something like the GTX 750 Ti or GTX 650 TI Boost Edition if your budget stretches that far. These should last longer, and probably will remain at Ultra settings with all EPs and future patches.
I hope this helps and keep simming,
Cody

(We are both playing on lowest graphics and with Laptop Mode on, we haven't tried setting the graphics any higher yet)
Hello,
At the moment the Intel HD graphics series is causing too many problems with the Deformed Baby bug for too many simmers, so is currently not being kept on our list until a fix is available.

I know amd cards off the top of my head and their low profiles I would suggest are too weak for gaming, do you need low profile because of space? If so then moving you parts to a new case is very easy, easy enough for a first timer
.
If it's not space but watts usage then nvidia 750 /750 ti maybe a good fit but please confirm your motherboard has the nesscary slot and be mindful of bottlenecking and age of psu and system
