The Sims 4 system requirements

How can I tell if my PC meets the requirements?

1. Right-click This PC and choose Properties.
   • Note: If you’re playing on Windows 10, you can search for This PC, then right-click it in the search results.
2. A window will pop up showing your processor, RAM, and operating system information. Open Device Manager.
3. Click the > icon beside Display adapters. You should see your graphics card information.
   • Note: You might see one or two graphics cards listed there, depending on whether you have a dedicated graphics card or not.

How can I tell if my Mac meets the requirements?

Use About this Mac to check how your Mac matches up with the minimum and recommended requirements.

If your PC or Mac is at or near the minimum requirements, or if you’re playing on a laptop, you might want to run your game in Laptop Mode. This improves your frame rate (for smoother graphics) and makes the game run more efficiently (for longer battery life).

Setting it up works the same way whether you’re on a PC or Mac:

1.  Click the " … " icon in-game.
2. Click Game Options.
3. Check the option for Laptop Mode to turn it on.
   • If you want to turn Laptop Mode off, uncheck that box instead.
