The Sims 4 Seasons System Requirements FAQ

Can I run The Sims 4 Seasons on a low-end PC?
If your PC meets the minimum requirements (1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/AMD Athlon 64 Dual-Core 4000+, NVIDIA GeForce 6600/ATI Radeon X1300/Intel GMA X4500, 4 GB RAM), you should be able to run The Sims 4 Seasons, but likely with lower graphics settings and potentially some performance issues. For a smoother experience, aim for the recommended specs.
What GPU do I need for The Sims 4 Seasons?
The minimum GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce 6600, ATI Radeon X1300, or Intel GMA X4500. For a better experience, an NVIDIA GTX 650 or better is recommended. A more powerful GPU will allow you to play with higher graphics settings and experience smoother gameplay, especially with weather effects.
How much RAM does The Sims 4 Seasons need?
The Sims 4 Seasons requires a minimum of 4 GB of RAM. However, 8 GB of RAM is recommended for smoother gameplay, especially if you have other applications running in the background or a lot of custom content installed.
Will The Sims 4 Seasons run on integrated graphics?
The game lists Intel GMA X4500 as a minimum GPU. While the game *might* launch and be playable on some integrated graphics, performance will likely be very poor, even on the lowest settings. Expect significant lag and low frame rates. A dedicated graphics card is highly recommended for a better experience.
What is the best graphics settings for The Sims 4 Seasons?
This depends on your hardware. If you meet the recommended specs, you can likely run the game on high or ultra settings. If you only meet the minimum specs, start with low or medium settings and adjust upwards until you find a balance between visual quality and performance. Pay attention to weather effects, as they can impact performance.
