Sims 4 - laptop help

[practicepracticepractice]

Does anyone play Sims 4 with custom content?

I need a new laptop and hoping to get one for under £500. It's killing my existing laptop.

Does anyone have any recommendations? 🙏

I think you would really struggle to run The Sims 4 on a laptop especially with CC under £500 sadly :( I guess it depends though whether you'd just be running the base game with CC or whether you have the DLC packs as well, the more DLC and CC you have the more of a powerful laptop you'll need to support it all

I have a Samsung Galaxy Book (it is the one on Currys for £1,199) that I got in the sale for £880. I really didn't think this would even run The Sims 4, especially not with mods or CC but surprisingly it runs completely lag free with all the DLC, mods and CC. I'd definitely recommend if you could up your budget to £800ish when the laptop goes on sale - I think it goes on sale quite a lot for some reason. They also do interest free finance where you can pay monthly instalments up to 2 years if that is an option you'd be open to

If not, perhaps you could find a laptop with similar specs? I'll put mine:

• Samsung Galaxy Book3 360 15.6" 2 in 1 laptop
• Intel® Core™ i5-1340P processor
• Storage 256 GB SSD
• 8 GB - you'll need a minimum 8GB to run The Sims 4
• Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics

That's much more than I was hoping. I'll take a look at the link too. Thanks.
