Hi @mab96 


sorry for not getting back to you earlier but I was away for a few days.

 

I doubt you can play it on this machine. Your graphics chip doesn't have any dedicated memroy and your CPU is also below minimum requirements.

So, in order to play Sims 4, I need an entirely new computer? Yeah, seems like I won't be getting Sims 4. My dad gave me this laptop about six months ago and my family can't afford to buy me a new one just so I can play Sims.

I have to correct myself. Your CPU does fulfill the requirements but the card is too low. 

 

Since you can run the SIms 3, I would think you should be able to run the game on low settings.

 

Can you try if it runs if you play it in windowed mode.

 

To do so, try this (credits to Nichaedemus at the official forums)

 

  1. Right click on The Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo icon
  2. Go to "Game Properties" (make sure the CAS Demo is not running)
  3. Type: -w in the "Command Line Arguments" then Apply

 

 

Good Luck

Sorry for not replying for so long Confusedmileytongue:

 

I tried doing what you said, but I may have done it wrong. Where exactly is the Command Line Arguments?

Try if it works if you start the demo in compatibilty mode or as administrator.

 

You can also try if putting Origin in offline mode makes the game start

It might just simply not run then since you're below specs
