Will this laptop run the sims 3 and sims 4?
I have been looking for a laptop in my budget for a long time and I have finnaly found one! However i am not sure if it will run TS4 and/or TS3 well. The laptop is Aspire V3-572PG-546C. Here are the specs: Windows 8.1 Intel Core i5-5200U Dual-core 2.20 GHz 15.6" HD (1366 x 768) 16:9 NVIDIA GeForce 840M with 2 GB Dedicated Memory 8 GB, DDR3L SDRAM 1 TB HDD
Sims 3 kills my laptop's battery!?
I've had my Alienware laptop for years now and suddenly, while unplugged as I was playing Sims 3 (I was playing with 9 expansions installed) my laptop goes dead. I plug in the charger and I load it back up and it works fine but I can't unplug the charger otherwise the whole thing turns off. I installed a new battery and played the sims 3 again, thinking it was just the battery itself but then it turns off again meaning it is the sims 3! I'm uninstalling the game and all its expansions but I wanna know how to fix up my battery? Is it completely dead or can it be saved from this? Also how did the sims 3 kill my battery if you know?
Sims 3 Broke my laptop?
first off.........
I have an HP Pavilion touch smart laptop. Can I run The Sims 3/4 smoothly or will I need to upgrade something?

There are many versions of the smart touch laptop. Although most the specs on the touch smart laptops I have seen will run the Sims 3 ok, but not the Sims 4.
Which laptop could I buy just for playing The Sims 3?
My wife plays it all the time on a Asus UX430 with a MX150 discrete graphics. MX150 is one of the cheaper GPUs you can get in a laptop and is frequently found in ultrabooks. It runs Sims 3 great, can even run some newer games.Sims 3 will actually run on integrated graphics, but you’d have to turn down the detail a bit for a smooth experience.
What’s a good laptop that will run Sims 3 and will work for college stuff? My budget is up to $650.
This Acer Aspire should get the job done for you. Basically what I looked for was a laptop that was between 13–15 inches (not to small but fits in a backpack), had 8 GB of RAM and an SSD (makes regular use feel quick and smooth), and had a somewhat competent CPU and GPU for Sims 3 (the i5 and integrated graphics should get the job done with some settings tweaks).Amazon says they only have 2 left, so don't take too long to make a decision.Have fun in college!https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspi...
Dell inspiron 1501 laptop...good for sims 3?
Sorry, you're going to have to provide some more information. There are a few version of the Dell Inspiron 1501, so I have no clue what your specs are. To find out your specs, open the Start Menu and type in dxdiag. A screen will pop up called DirectX Diagnostic Tool. Under the System tab, look at your Memory and Processor. You'll need 1500MB or more of memory and 2.4GHz or higher processor speed. Under the Display tab on the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, you'll see your graphics card. You'll see the name of your Graphics Card and the Total Memory it has. Graphics cards can be a bit difficult to understand if you're not familiar with them. Look at the graphic card requirements for the Sims 3 or post it here and I'll tell you. You'll probably need 128MB of graphic card memory in order to play, which you should have. http://www.thesims3.com/game/systemreq Requirements are for Windows Vista. I don't know what version of Windows your laptop has. The site doesn't list recommendations for W7, but W7 requirements should be about the same as Windows Vista, so I'll assume. Find your graphics card in the site below to see if it's capable of playing Sims: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Ga... Green means it can play it, red means it will lag, and yellow means undetermined. You'll need to find out what your graphics card is from how I explained above in order to find this tool useful.
Which laptop should I get to be able to play the original The Sims Deluxe, The Sims 2 Deluxe, The Sims 3 with all the expansions, and The Sims 4 smoothly? What specs should I look for?
It depends.Are you only going to use your laptop for playing games?Maybe you want to work on it as well.The Sims Series can run smoothly on most can run well on most machines but you said you want to play TS3 with all expansions and to be honest it is optimized like shit.How much money do you want to spend on a laptop?If you're willing to pay more I'd recommend the HP spectre it is a great option to for work and for light gaming.For a similar experience I'd even recommend a Macbook. The Macbook has its quirks though. TS4 runs smoothly and is a great experience on mac and it officially has a Mac version. For the rest of the games I'm not sure. It works with a Windows VM or Dual Boot too.If you're on a budget there's always the Lenovo Thinkpad or an older Asus/Lenovo laptop.If you go with a budget option you probably have to turn settings down a little even in TS4 and significantly in TS3.Most laptops can run any Sims game just fine on medium-low settings. Most laptops that I mentioned should run it well. A better i3 or an average i5 and a GTX 650+ could run it on high settings possibly.
Which laptops are the best for playing Sims 3 and have the basic software for school?
Since it's only sims try a Lenovo, Dell, or Asus. They are affordable however you should look for specs not just a brand name in general. That aside the yoga series are good for basic gaming and work as well so long as you get one with a good amount of storage and ram. Whatever you do avoid HP.
