Finding a good computer is hard!
And one that’s not expensive!!

The one I have now I got on a Black Friday sale.
Went to the midnight store opening or whatever,
But I can’t afford a nice computer otherwise.

It is always good to look at black friday/ cyber monday sales. I saw someone mentioning in a sims discord I am in that they got a $800 lenevo laptop for $300.

So keep an eye on amazon, target etc for deals.

As far as graphics cards go the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 are good cards. I just looked up on amazon and the cheapest laptop right now with any of those cards is $609.99. Renewed laptop for $529.99

Secondly you need a laptop with Windows 10 64 Bit! EA is ending it's support for 32 bit!
Other things to look at in a laptop is min 6GB ram. Trust me The Sims eats ram. And internal space. The sims and it's expansions take up space. So you might not want to get a laptop that has just a 265GB SSD drive.

Expansion Packs:

EP01 = 1,60 GB (Get To Work)
EP02 = 1,64 GB (Get Together)
EP03 = 2,47 GB (City Living)
EP04 = 1,92 GB (Cats & Dogs)

Free Pack:

FP01 = 28,4 MB (Holiday Celebration)

Game Packs:

GP01 = 671 MB (Outdoor Retreat)
GP03 = 452 MB (Dine Out)
GP04 = 686 MB (Vampires)
GP05 = 451 MB (Parenthood)
GP06 = 913 MB (Jungle Adventure)

Stuff Packs:

SP04 = 165 MB (Spooky Stuff)
SP05 = 219 MB (Movie Hangout Stuff)
SP06 = 204 MB (Romantic Garden Stuff)
SP07 = 153 MB (Kids Room Stuff)
SP08 = 172 MB (Backyard Stuff)
SP09 = 166 MB (Vintage Glamour Stuff)
SP10 = 192 MB (Bowling Night Stuff)
SP11 = 155 MB (Fitness Stuff)
SP12 = 158 MB (Toddler Stuff)
SP13 = 154 MB (Laundry Day Stuff)
SP14 = 163 MB (My First Pet Stuff)

The whole folder with above installed in is 25,5 GB.

Other good cards are from GeForce:
GeForce RTX 2080
GeForce RTX 2070
GeForce RTX 2060
GTX 1660 Ti
GTX 1650
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
GeForce GTX 1080
GeForce GTX 1070
GeForce GTX 1060
GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q
GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q
GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q
GTX 1050 Max-Q

Those listed however will most likely have a bigger price tag.

Radeon Vega 10
Radeon RX 580
RadeonRX 570
Radeon R9 M485X
Radeon R9 M470X
Radeon R9 M470
Radeon R9 M395X
Radeon R9 M390X
Radeon R9 M385X
Radeon R9 M375
Radeon R9 M380
Radeon R9 M375X
Radeon R9 M365X
Radeon R9 M295X
Radeon R9 M290X
Radeon R9 M280
Radeon R9 M275X
Radeon R9 M270X
Radeon R9 M265X



And if you want to know my computer has a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and I can run The Sims on ultra settings. And my laptop has a GeForce GTX 1050.

    can you buy graphics cards separately and install them??

Donator Posted 4 years ago ( 2019/11/27 21:33:09 )

@Deaa: No in most cases it is not possible to upgrade the graphics card in a laptop. It is permanently attached to the motherboard.

Voltie — Sha/female Posted 4 years ago ( 2019/12/2 14:40:04 )


Nah... Realm of magic is the only one left I need that was on sale. And I can't afford it right now even with the sale. I chose to see family instead.

Currently recovering from large amounts of PTSD. I'll post when I can, please ping for replies. Things are very difficult for me right now.

Donator — She/Her Posted 4 years ago ( 2019/12/2 17:17:48 )

    ahhh i wanted to get something from the sale
    it just felt stupid to buy something and then not be able to play it until i get a new laptop lol
    on top of that, my car broke down, so i may need to buy a new car and start making car payments
    which means i can no longer afford a new couch or laptop

My friend bought me the store/work expansion last night. I have a bakery now.

It’s hard though. Going to look up cheat codes to unlock more employees. (You can only have 1 to start)
