Could you post everything ?

You can use multiple posts.

[WickedLamb31]

Sure I will post in a few. But the little that you see, do I need to upgrade on anything?

[crinrict]

No, your graphics drivers look fine.

I think it might be my memory:

So I think I got it working. I had to change the program compatbility.  I will try again tomorrow and if it works again, I will post the results.

Thank you 

[crinrict]

Great to hear.

Please do let us know.

[WickedLamb31]

Yes...I did get it working. It was a compatibility issue with Windows XP I believe....and I dont have that on this computer anymore.

Could you tell me with the diag that I posted if Sims 4 will run on this computer?

Thank you 

[crinrict]

It fulfills the minimum requirements, yes but I don't know how it's going to be when you start adding Expansions.

Also, Sims 3 also had a minimum requirement of 2 GB of RAM and it needed way more so at this point, there's no way of telling. I do believe that CAS could be an indication on how it runs. It works pretty well on my very old machine and if it works well on yours, you should be fine. I can't give you any guarantees though.

If you buy Sims 4 on Origin though, you have a 24 hours trial period. If it doesn't work, you can give it back within that timeframe
