It should meet the minimum requirements for the game. However, installing expansions can increase the minimum requirements of the game.

Yes, but you couln't max it out.

 

[jamem1]

are the minimum requirements able to run medium settings or are they terrible?

is this computer better or worse than that one? http/support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02789982

Both are underpowered. You need a gaming computer for the Sims.

Since I recognize your thread on the official Sims forum...

GT 940M:

yeah thats me ;p just tryna get a ton of feedback!
is the 2nd one i linked better or worse than the first?

About the same if I am not mistaken when it comes to the Sims 4. Both laptops I linked on the official Sims forum have a dedicated graphics card and it will allow you to run the Sims 4 without problem.

The GT 940M is better however, but it is currently unknown if it'll survive the entire game.

The M360 will run at medium.

Not much info exists about the A8-7050 APU. My guess is that it's Radeon R5 (Kaveri) APU has lower clock speed than the one found in the A8-7100 APU. That would make it probably on par with the Intel HD 4400 graphics core or maybe a bit faster.

Below is a short video showing Sims 4 being played on a laptop with an Intel HD 4400 to give you an idea.
