Default Will this laptop run TS3?
Hi, this is my first post here so I'm really sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this. I looked around but this was the only forum that seemed appropriate.
Anyway, I need a new laptop, as I'm going to college soon and currently only have a Chromebook on its last legs.
I play TS3 on my desktop PC (I'm not exactly sure how to find all the specs, nor what brand it is, but it's got an Intel Core i7-7700 processor and 16GB of RAM) and it runs the game pretty much perfectly. I have a ton of Store content and a solid amount of Nraas mods, play on high graphics settings, and though I get some script errors every time I play, some seconds-long "hangs" and the very occasional crash to desktop, it's otherwise smooth as butter.
Unfortunately, that PC has some serious Internet connectivity issues, and is also, well, a desktop PC. It's probably not feasible for me to bring it to college, and either way I still need a laptop.
It's really important to me that whatever laptop I get runs The Sims 3 well.
I saw this laptop recommended on a different site, and it really looks like it might be able to do it, as well as all the other stuff I need it to do.
It's a Dell Inspiron 15 3000, and as I can order it with custom specs, I'd get the Intel i3-1005G1 Non-Touch processor, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD.
Would this be able to run TS3 without too much of an issue? I have all EPs but I don't always play with them all enabled. I have a pretty significant amount of store content, but I can always pare it down a little. I play with a lot of Nraas mods, specifically ErrorTrap, Overwatch, MasterController, StoryProgression, Careers, Woohooer, Relativity, Traveler, Decensor, and Porter.
Thanks in advance, and again sorry for any mistakes/faux pas in regards to posting this.
