Can my laptop play Sims 2?

On the back of the game package, they will have system requirements.

Use this. Hope it helps xD Welcome to Fluther.

@Blackberry & @support1 she doesn’t actually own the game so it might be a struggle to have to go out, check the disk and cross-match it with her specs. @kittykat219 if not there’s always The Sims Collection.
That is older so requires less specification to run well.

Maybe. What really matters is what kind of graphics card you have.

Judging from the specs, it appears to be a netbook instead of an actual full-on laptop. (The Atom CPU gave it away, as did the 1GB RAM, a limitation that Microsoft imposed upon netbooks as a condition for licensing WinXP for $15/system instead of $40.)

While it is an older game and thus has pretty low minimum requirements, the truth is that it won’t run very well on your system. Your GPU is barely above the minimum, as is your CPU; they are notably below the recommended specs.

I used to have a netbook with specs almsot identical to yours. Fable:The Lost Chapter is not much more demanding, yet it ran like utter crap on my netbook of about the same specs you have.

So the short answer is “Yes”, but the real answer follows that affirmative with a disclaimer.

@Paul Thanks for that link. It really speeds up the research :D
