My laptop is slowly but surely giving up its ghost and now I have thought about creating a real computer for the first time. This should be able to play the PC game Sims 3, 4 (+ extensions) well, but also to have for normal use. In the training I will work there with the respective programs, write work etc. The normal everyday use and not just to play. And because that's not enough, it should not cost a fortune. Which brands own or concrete examples would be great for what I'm looking for.
I bought a Lenovo notebook for my parents at some point. They are absolutely satisfied with it. And the reviews on Amazon are also reading quite well.
Since a 0815 Pc with 8GB Ram, 500GB hard drive, 4x3,5 would be sufficient.
If you want to have a desktop PC, "self-made" is always the cheapest. However, you have to inform yourself for a little. If you do not want to do this, you can grab the PC or have it made for you (maybe you have a friend who can do it for you).
I've looked at the system requirements for Sims 4. (https://www.giga.de/spiele/die-sims-4/tipps/die-sims-4-systemanforderungen-laeuft-das-spiel-auf-eurem-pc/) These are extremely low, so you really do not need anything powerful.
Personally, I find the suggestions of hardware truth always quite good. Even the 300 Euro PC should be enough. (https://www.hardwaredealz.com/bester-gaming-pc-fuer-unter-300-euro-gamer-pc-bis-300-euro/) However, I would recommend you to spend more money to make sure you are future proof.
Since a complete pc would have to suffice. But watch out for the prerequisites of the game.
If you really want to save a lot first synonymous enough for a used pc only I would take an external hard drive for the most important data. A good used one often only costs 100-200 euro + a monitor Dan is often to get 50-70 euro or less.
Or you wait a bit and maybe get a pc under 450 euro
Of course, "costing no assets" is very helpful, as everyone has a different view of what a fortune is (mostly depending on how large their own assets are). Some find a gaming PC for 900 euro cheap, some are reluctant to spend more than 300 euro for it. Without a specific budget, you can't make proposals.
And how should Sims run decently on it so without a graphics card and usable graphics chip? In addition, there's practically the slowest processor class of Intel installed, more than surfing is not there. Games can be forgotten on it, it is a really very weak laptop.
For Sims 4 enough even a PC without graphics card, so Intel HD Graphics is sufficient.
I have no experience with the game. But you said that you did not want to spend too much money.
I still think it's good to have one, but yes, it should also run smoothly.
As would synonymous a 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 (better 4) GB Ram and eg a 128GB hard drive are sufficient…
Did the questioner say, not me. If you ask me, 350 euro for a device that does not fulfill the required tasks, 350 euro, which you have wasted.
If only from surfing the speech, the device might still be okay, but it just does not meet the requirements of the questioner. No 3D games that have appeared in the last 5-8 years, whether Sims or anything else, will work on this laptop.
