I have the Sims 2 Double Deluxe game, and also the Sims 2 University, and I plan on purchasing more of the expansion packs. I do know there are not many laptops that can accommodate gaming. But I plan on buying a laptop just for the use of it to play Sims.
Can anyone help me?
Please??
– Also, if anyone might know how to transfer Custom Content (for the game) from one computer to another? Would I use a disk? If so, what type of disk?
The games call for a minimum amount of RAM, I believe 512MB, but to be on the safe side, I’d have at least 2048– that way your game play will be seamless and skip free. I have 3GB of RAM with a Pentium Dual Core processor, and my game speed is better than when I was running the game on an AMD Sempron processor. So yes, go with an Intel processor when you’re buying a laptop. My laptop is HP’s G71-333NR notebook PC, so it runs the games better than most would.
I’d go with the games’ basic requirements, and then add an extra 1024MB of RAM, just to make sure. My old laptop was at the bare minimum to play The Sims 2 Apartment Life, for instance, and still ran it, though rather slowly.
I’d use a USB drive, also called a "jump drive" to transfer content from one computer to another. The ones today are pretty big, and would hold a lot of files.

I have an HP and have no trouble.
But the game accommodations make a difference
As for custom content, my cousin and I transversed all her custom content to my computer. Any disk works fine, but we ended up using 13 disks! I suggest a zip drive instead.

Check this laptop!

Im about to get it this summer so I can play Sims 3 and all exp/stuff Sims 2.
Apparently it can run COD Modern Warfare 2 at highest settings with no lag so it WILL handle everything Sims 2 and any custom content with ease.
Plus it comes out to a 1000 even, which is the best your going to get.
