Yes, this laptop will run The Sims 4, and then some, but your modding experience will depend on how much Custom Content (CC) you download. The Core i5 processor and dedicated RTX 3050 graphics card are overkill for the base game. However, heavy script mods and massive folders of custom hair, clothes, and furniture change the equation drastically. CPU and GPU are great, but the 8GB RAM is insufficient for heavy modding. If you use fewer than 10 big script mods (like MC Command Center or WickedWhims) and just a small amount of CC, 8GB will get by. On the other hand, If you hoard thousands of pieces of Alpha CC or download custom worlds and high-resolution reshade scripts, the 8GB of RAM will choke. Your game will experience severe simulation lag (Sims standing still while time runs), long loading screens, and random game crashes. The 512GB SSD is good for most purposes, but the Sims 4 with all expansion packs takes up over 50–60 GB on its own. Add the Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods folder, and you have 50GB–100GB more eaten up. If you want to dump endless amounts of CC into your game without a care, spend roughly $30 to $40 to upgrade the laptop to 16GB of RAM. It will instantly eliminate memory bottlenecks and let the laptop handle whatever you throw at it.
