Will this laptop work for the sims 3+expansions?

[maiya3694]

Ok, so I am looking to buy a new laptop (spoilers, I am not an expert) and I wanted to make sure I could play sims 3 on in before I got it. So can someone please check this computer out and tell me if it will run sims 3 smoothly? I had and old windows version before and it crashed every 30 min. Someone please help me!

Computer I am interested in:
“HP Pavilion Laptop PC Notebook, Intel Core i3-7100U, 8GB DDR4, 1TB HDD, 15.6" HD touchscreen, DVD-Writer, Card Reader, WIFI, Bluetooth, Windows 10”

I am willing to get a desktop also, but laptop would be more convienent. My budget is nothing above $520 American dollars.

It should run it, even with expansions, however, it will get slower and slower, the more you add. So just just know ahead of time the more stuff you add to the game, the more worlds and households you have going, the slower it will run.

Ok, thanks. Is there any other computer you would recommend as an alternative? I want to get one that is a certain for no crashes/ not too much lag.

I have these additions, may help:
Generations
Late night
Supernatural
Pet
Seasons
Showtime
Island paradise
Into the future
Fast lane stuff

You are going to want a computer that has going on twice the specs recommended as a minimum of the game. Otherwise you will run into lag. It is because the SIMs games use a lot of resources and have a lot of components.

 

[maiya3694]

Ok thanks! Is that computer good do you think or do you think I should gilet something different?

 

[maiya3694]

I found a computer I like even better than the last one. “HP Pavilion Laptop PC Notebook, Intel Core i3-7100U, 8GB DDR4, 1TB HDD, 15.6" HD touchscreen, DVD-Writer, Card Reader, WIFI, Bluetooth, Windows 10”
I really hope this one will run the sims 3. I also have the sims 4 so hopefully that game too. I will post the specs so can someone please make sure this computer will run the game withiut crashes. Thanks ahead of time.

If you bump the thread again it will be closed.

 

[maiya3694]

ok, well anyway, can you help me?

 

[maiya3694]

Does the second laptop look like it will run sims 3 better than the first one I posted

 

[webworkings]

Any of those will run it. All the ones you mentioned. But no one can guaranty that it won't crash the system. Especially if you use hacks, cheats, additional components, etc. Any program can crash any system if it isn't working correctly. In the end you will just have to choose and work from there.

I run my SIMS 3 on a desktop and it still crashes sometimes. I have a lot of stuff in there.

 

[maiya3694]

Ok, thank you so much. So can I get this one and it will work fine? The Acer Aspire??
