This chart is for desktop graphics ONLY and does not take into account the rest of your computer.  If you have an awesome graphics card but crappy everything else, your performance will suck.  If you have a newer computer with a strong CPU and lots of RAM, but install a crappy graphics card, you will still likely have performance problems. The chart below assumes the graphics settings not set in 'Laptop' mode.

This chart uses benchmarks scores for the graphics card ONLY and does not take into account the rest of your computer.  If you have an awesome graphics card but crappy everything else, your performance will suck.  If you have a newer computer with a strong CPU and lots of RAM, but install a crappy graphics card, you will still likely have performance problems. The chart below assumes the graphics settings not set in 'Laptop' mode.  
  
TS4 relies very heavily on the CPU and having a multi-core processor makes a huge difference in performance, but that does not mean just any graphics card out there will work. What it DOES mean, is that if you have a really strong dual or quad core CPU, you may be able to get better performance out of the <span style="background:#f6ecc3; color:black;">Maybe</span> cards. If you have an older or slow CPU (Penitum 4/D, Athlons, ULVs) even the <span style="background:#b0dca2; color:black;" font color="#ACDEA1">Yes</span> cards may not give perfect performance.

TS4 relies very heavily on the CPU and having a multi-core processor makes a huge difference in performance, but that does not mean just any graphics card out there will work. What it DOES mean, is that if you have a really strong dual or quad core CPU, you may be able to get better performance. If you have an older or slow CPU (Penitum 4/D/Core 2 Duo, Athlons, ULVs), performance will be bottlenecked by the CPU and it reduces performance (If task manager detects 90-100% CPU usage while playing TS4).
  
 
'''Please note:''' It is not recommended that you attempt to play TS4 on an integrated video chipset. If you have a computer with integrated video, it is recommended you view [[Game Help:TS4_Onboard Graphics|this guide]]. If you have a laptop or a computer with low-end graphics card, it is recommended that you play this game in Laptop mode. Newer, on-die graphics (bult into the CPU) are fine for running TS4. It is not recommended to play TS4 on a tablet or a convertible PC in tablet mode.

The Sims 4 does not support VR (Virtual Reality) gameplay. Playing The Sims 4 in 4K resolution or higher is possible, but not recommended as it makes the UI too small to read.
+
The Sims 4 introduced a first-person view since Patch 1.47.49 but does not support VR (Virtual Reality) gameplay. Playing The Sims 4 in 4K resolution or higher is very demanding and requires the most powerful and latest graphics card to run fluently (60+ FPS).
  
'''To make this simple:''' If your computer can handle TS3, then you can play TS4! (TS4 is slightly less demanding than TS3 due to a non-open world)

'''To make this simple:''' If your computer can handle TS3, then you can play TS4! (TS4 is slightly less demanding than TS3 due to a non-open world) However, the game gets more demanding with each patch or EPs/GPs installed.

The chart above is based on the chart from [https://www.notebookcheck.com/Welche-Spiele-laufen-auf-Notebook-Grafikkarten-fluessig.13827.0.html?type=&sort=&professional=2&multiplegpus=1&archive=1&or=0&gameselect%5B%5D=293&gpu_fullname=1 Notebook Check] with a slight increase taken into account the latest patches and to provide some headroom for any EPs and GPs. (Note that Notebook Check benchmark TS4 on the latest patch when first system with the graphics card is released and tested and NOT the current patch.
 +
 +
'''Examples''':
 +
*An NVIDIA GTX 1650 dedicated graphics card has a graphics score of [https://benchmarks.ul.com/hardware/gpu/NVIDIA+GeForce+GTX+1650+review '''~9000'''], so it can run TS4 smoothly with all EPs/GPs installed at the highest graphics setting.
 +
*The [https://benchmarks.ul.com/hardware/gpu/Intel+UHD+Graphics+620+review Intel UHD 620] is an integrated graphics chip that scores a '''1100''' on 3DMark Fire Strike so it can play the game smoothly at medium settings, but may encounter reduced performance at high settings and will not get playable framerates at ultra settings. Adding EPs/GPs will increase the strain on the GPU and reduce performance.

=The Sims 4 System Requirements=
 +
'''A note on these requirements:''' The requirements listed below are taken directly from the [http://www.thesims.com/faq#what-are-the-PC-minimum-system-requirements official TS4 Site].  These are the absolute bare minimums you need to get the game up and running.  These are NOT the minimum requirements for a playable game experience!  If you have just the bare minimum and a low-end graphics card, you will NOT be able to play the game!  It will run... but it will not look good, run well, or run consistently without crashing.
 +
 +
In order to find the specs on your system, see: [[Game Help:System Specs]].  If you are looking to upgrade your system, please see [http://www.modthesims.info/fd.php?f=563 Help: Computer & Software Help] for lots of advice, recommendations, and a place you can ask questions on specific hardware.
 +
 +
'''<font color="green">Items marked in green are those which are also recommended by MTS for playing The Sims 4.</font>'''
 +
*REQUIRED: Internet connection required for product activation.
 +
*OS: Windows XP (SP3), Windows Vista (SP2), Windows 7 (SP1), Windows 8, Windows 8.1, <font color="green">or Windows 10</font>
 +
*PROCESSOR: 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, AMD Athlon 64 Dual-Core 4000+ or equivalent (For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-62 or equivalent) <font color="green">(Core i3-3XXX or AMD FX or higher is recommended for earlier patches, i3-7XXX or AMD Ryzen or higher is recommended for later patches (Seasons onwards))</font>
 +
*MEMORY: At least 2 GB RAM  <font color="green">(4 GB is recommended)</font>
 +
*HARD DRIVE: At least 9 GB of free space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content and saved games <font color="green">(SSD recommended for faster load times)</font>
 +
*DVD-ROM: DVD ROM drive required for installation only <font color="green">(Not required as the game can be downloaded from Origin)</font>
 +
*VIDEO CARD: 128 MB of Video RAM and support for Pixel Shader 3.0.  <font color="green">(1 GB dedicated mid-range video card or higher is recommended at 1080 resolution, 3 GB high-end card for 4K resolution and above)</font> A newer, better one (higher MIDDLE numbers = better. For example a Nvidia GTX 9'''6'''0 would be faster than the newer GT 10'''3'''0. Newer does not necessarily equal better. Generally speaking, expect the previous series mid-range cards to perform similar to the current series low-end, and so forth.)
 +
*Supported Video Cards: See chart above
 +
*SOUND CARD: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
 +
*DIRECTX: DirectX 9.0c compatible
 +
*INPUT: Keyboard and Mouse
 +

'''*'''Athlon is a legacy processor and therefore not recommended by MTS. AMD FX processors are recommended for running TS4.
 +
 +
'''**'''Intel Core i3 processors (3rd gen or later) are fine for running TS4-->
 +
 +
Standalone cards that are installed in legacy PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx), such as some GeForce GT 610 variants, will perform poorly. Most AGP, if not all, won't work at all.
 +
 +
Regardless of the performance potential of these cards all NVIDIA Quadro and AMD Firepro workstation graphics cards are unsupported in TS4 and TS3 as they are not made for gaming. Non x86-64 based systems, such as ARM-based  Windows systems (Qualcomm Snapdragon CPUs), will have poor performance.
 +
 +
Intel's legacy GMA (Non-HD) integrated chipsets featuring underclocked parts will not perform adequately. Intel's Celeron n-series, Pentium n-series and Intel Core M graphic processors are ultra low wattage that also feature underclocked graphics processors. Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants may default to settings that are higher than what would be optimal for them. Graphics settings can be lowered to improve performance.
 +
 +
 +
 +
Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isn't listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.
 +
 +
==Mac System Requirements==
 +
Below is the MINIMUM System Requirements for Macs. These specifications are equivalent to a 2010 model MacBook Pro. However, the 2010 Mac models are obsolete by Apple and will perform poorly when playing TS4.
 +
 +
It is not recommended to play TS4 on a MacBook Air, 12 Inch MacBook models or a Non-Retina Display MacBook Pro as the graphics hardware is not capable of running TS4 smoothly. It is also not recommended to play TS4 on a Mac Pro as it contains a workstation graphics card with the drivers not optimized for gaming.
 +
 +
REQUIRED: Internet connection required for product activation.
 +
 +
MINIMUM SPECIFICATION
 +
 +
 +
OS: Mac OS® X 10.7.5 (Lion)  <font color="green">(Latest version of Mac OS is recommended - currently Mac OS 10.15 Catalina)</font>
 +
 +

*The 2012 Mac Pro and earlier feature a user removable graphics card. Therefore, it is not included in the chart. The 2019 Mac Pro is also excluded for the same reason.
  
! At least some if not all of Nvidia's cards with G86 and G84 cores are defective. They they do not handle heat like they should. This includes all GeForce 8400/8500/8600/8700 cards and their mobile counterparts.

Graphics Card Compatibility and Recommendations

This chart uses benchmarks scores for the graphics card ONLY and does not take into account the rest of your computer. If you have an awesome graphics card but crappy everything else, your performance will suck. If you have a newer computer with a strong CPU and lots of RAM, but install a crappy graphics card, you will still likely have performance problems. The chart below assumes the graphics settings not set in 'Laptop' mode.

TS4 relies very heavily on the CPU and having a multi-core processor makes a huge difference in performance, but that does not mean just any graphics card out there will work. What it DOES mean, is that if you have a really strong dual or quad core CPU, you may be able to get better performance. If you have an older or slow CPU (Penitum 4/D/Core 2 Duo, Athlons, ULVs), performance will be bottlenecked by the CPU and it reduces performance (If task manager detects 90-100% CPU usage while playing TS4).

Please note: It is not recommended that you attempt to play TS4 on an integrated video chipset. If you have a computer with integrated video, it is recommended you view this guide. If you have a laptop or a computer with low-end graphics card, it is recommended that you play this game in Laptop mode. Newer, on-die graphics (bult into the CPU) are fine for running TS4. It is not recommended to play TS4 on a tablet or a convertible PC in tablet mode.

The Sims 4 introduced a first-person view since Patch 1.47.49 but does not support VR (Virtual Reality) gameplay. Playing The Sims 4 in 4K resolution or higher is very demanding and requires the most powerful and latest graphics card to run fluently (60+ FPS).

To make this simple: If your computer can handle TS3, then you can play TS4! (TS4 is slightly less demanding than TS3 due to a non-open world) However, the game gets more demanding with each patch or EPs/GPs installed.

These CPUs will reduce TS4 performance:

Laptop users click here to find out if your laptop graphics can run TS4 and see this article about playing the game on a laptop.

Mac Users: Scroll down to the bottom of the article for compatibility chart.

Check your graphics card or you can benchmark your own graphics card by installing 3DMark. For laptops, click here

KEY
Yes Known to give good game play, little or no lagging is expected (Expected FPS: 45+)
Maybe Performance is uncertain/unknown, or may still be mostly playable with expected lagging/reduced performance (Expected FPS: 25-45)
No Not recommended/known problems/poor performance (Expected FPS: <25)
Graphics Setting 3DMark Fire Strike Graphics Score
Ultra 2500+ 1500-2500 <1500 Add 200 for each EP installation, 100 for each GP installation
High 2000+ 1000-2000 <1000 Add 150 for each EP installation, 100 for each GP installation
Medium 1000+ 500-1000 <500 Add 100 for each EP installation, 50 for each GP installation
Low 400+ 200-400 <200 Add 50 for each EP installation, 20 for each GP installation
Low (Laptop Mode On) 200+ 100-200 <100 Add 20 for each EP installation, 10 for each GP installation

The chart above is based on the chart from Notebook Check with a slight increase taken into account the latest patches and to provide some headroom for any EPs and GPs. (Note that Notebook Check benchmark TS4 on the latest patch when first system with the graphics card is released and tested and NOT the current patch.

Examples:

  • An NVIDIA GTX 1650 dedicated graphics card has a graphics score of ~9000, so it can run TS4 smoothly with all EPs/GPs installed at the highest graphics setting.
  • The Intel UHD 620 is an integrated graphics chip that scores a 1100 on 3DMark Fire Strike so it can play the game smoothly at medium settings, but may encounter reduced performance at high settings and will not get playable framerates at ultra settings. Adding EPs/GPs will increase the strain on the GPU and reduce performance.

Graphs

Below are two charts that related the 3DMark Fire Strike Score and TS4 FPS.

The Sims 4 System Requirements

A note on these requirements: The requirements listed below are taken directly from the official TS4 Site. These are the absolute bare minimums you need to get the game up and running. These are NOT the minimum requirements for a playable game experience! If you have just the bare minimum and a low-end graphics card, you will NOT be able to play the game! It will run... but it will not look good, run well, or run consistently without crashing.

In order to find the specs on your system, see: Game Help:System Specs. If you are looking to upgrade your system, please see Help: Computer & Software Help for lots of advice, recommendations, and a place you can ask questions on specific hardware.

Items marked in green are those which are also recommended by MTS for playing The Sims 4.

  • REQUIRED: Internet connection required for product activation.
  • OS: Windows XP (SP3), Windows Vista (SP2), Windows 7 (SP1), Windows 8, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10
  • PROCESSOR: 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, AMD Athlon 64 Dual-Core 4000+ or equivalent (For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-62 or equivalent) (Core i3-3XXX or AMD FX or higher is recommended for earlier patches, i3-7XXX or AMD Ryzen or higher is recommended for later patches (Seasons onwards))
  • MEMORY: At least 2 GB RAM (4 GB is recommended)
  • HARD DRIVE: At least 9 GB of free space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content and saved games (SSD recommended for faster load times)
  • DVD-ROM: DVD ROM drive required for installation only (Not required as the game can be downloaded from Origin)
  • VIDEO CARD: 128 MB of Video RAM and support for Pixel Shader 3.0. (1 GB dedicated mid-range video card or higher is recommended at 1080 resolution, 3 GB high-end card for 4K resolution and above) A newer, better one (higher MIDDLE numbers = better. For example a Nvidia GTX 960 would be faster than the newer GT 1030. Newer does not necessarily equal better. Generally speaking, expect the previous series mid-range cards to perform similar to the current series low-end, and so forth.)
  • Supported Video Cards: See chart above
  • SOUND CARD: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
  • DIRECTX: DirectX 9.0c compatible
  • INPUT: Keyboard and Mouse


Standalone cards that are installed in legacy PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx), such as some GeForce GT 610 variants, will perform poorly. Most AGP, if not all, won't work at all.

Regardless of the performance potential of these cards all NVIDIA Quadro and AMD Firepro workstation graphics cards are unsupported in TS4 and TS3 as they are not made for gaming. Non x86-64 based systems, such as ARM-based Windows systems (Qualcomm Snapdragon CPUs), will have poor performance.

Intel's legacy GMA (Non-HD) integrated chipsets featuring underclocked parts will not perform adequately. Intel's Celeron n-series, Pentium n-series and Intel Core M graphic processors are ultra low wattage that also feature underclocked graphics processors. Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants may default to settings that are higher than what would be optimal for them. Graphics settings can be lowered to improve performance.


Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isn't listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.

Mac System Requirements

Below is the MINIMUM System Requirements for Macs. These specifications are equivalent to a 2010 model MacBook Pro. However, the 2010 Mac models are obsolete by Apple and will perform poorly when playing TS4.

It is not recommended to play TS4 on a MacBook Air, 12 Inch MacBook models or a Non-Retina Display MacBook Pro as the graphics hardware is not capable of running TS4 smoothly. It is also not recommended to play TS4 on a Mac Pro as it contains a workstation graphics card with the drivers not optimized for gaming.

REQUIRED: Internet connection required for product activation.

MINIMUM SPECIFICATION


OS: Mac OS® X 10.7.5 (Lion) (Latest version of Mac OS is recommended - currently Mac OS 10.15 Catalina)

PROCESSOR: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz Processor or better

VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce 320M, 9600M, 9400M,ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro or better. Video RAM of 256MB or better.

MEMORY: 4GB RAM

HARD DRIVE: 10 GB of Hard Drive space

INPUT: Keyboard and Mouse
