im thinking of adding some cc and only using CAS since actual gameplay doesnt excite me too much

@oreosssz Just check this: https://help.ea.com/en/help/the-sims/the-sims-4/the-sims-4-system-requirements/
So your system will run the Sims but it is just on the brink. When you also load a lot of cc your pc will have a hard time and you will experience some slow downs.

@oreosssz  It should run the base game fine, and maybe some early packs.  The integrated graphics card isn't really capable of handling newer EPs on anything other than low settings though, unless you're okay with low framerates.  Custom content can exacerbate the problem, especially "high poly" items, which take more resources to render than any EA-made content.  Plus, 6 GB RAM is just barely enough, or maybe barely not (depending on packs installed and the age of a save), even if you don't run anything else besides Origin while you play

However, if you're only really concerned with creating  sims, you might be fine.  TS4's CAS function doesn't require much memory and isn't particularly demanding in terms of graphics.  Your computer still might have trouble with high poly cc, but there are plenty of lower-resolution cc items out there for you to download instead.

If you do want to try, there's no harm in installing the base game and seeing how it goes.  And if it really doesn't work, you can request a refund within 24 hours of launching the game for the first time, provided it's also been no more than 14 days since you bought it.
