My guess would be it can, but I'm not a huge gamer so I can't say for sure.

I'm not sure. I bought this laptop as a gift for a friend of mine. I don't know if she plays sims on it. She needed it to complete her on-line college. If you have a cd/DVD rom drive and had a video graphics card installed on your laptop, then you should be able to play sims discs. Sorry I couldn't be of more help,

Last machine I ran it on was a win7 republic of gamers laptop. It had to run in compatability mode, but I was able to play it (with minimal hicups, but some graphical degradation) I was using a beefy spec rig though, your mileage may vary. I havent tested it on windows 8/8.1

You will have a rock solid 60+ FPS at High settings. Although I have not tried the expansion on the laptop, it should play it like a champ in any case.

My guess is the Toshiba does not meet the minimum requirements to run the game. If it's a laptop make sure the air vents are not blocked. If it's a desktop and it's just basic Toshiba then it probably does not have a graphics card and won't be able to run the game. This game is highly detailed. You could go to settings and turn down all details to minimum and that may make it better but probably won't look that good.

It should be able to run it no problem. I recommend you don't run any big programs in the background and use your laptop on a hard smooth surface.

Not sure about the sims 3, but you can play the android app version on it. I think it was like 6 or 7 dollars

This card will play it but the frame rates would be sad. Sub 20's probably. Go for an 8600GT or better yet GTS You'll get double the performance for not much more money. Also depends on what processor/ram you have??Woody

The answer would depend on the minimum and recommended specifications of the games you're trying to play. If the hardware meets or exceeds the recommended specifications for the game, then it will play very well.

It will run for a low settings. But you can always upgrade to a higher graphic card in the future.

Sorry I only play FIFA manager on it which requires little graphics. But it works fine; I use it to play movies and it runs smoothly

I believe it will. I have Sim 2 games on my Windows 8 and they play just fine. Just check the back of the game to make sure it will work.

You think it will be able to run Diable 3 and Starcraft 2 ok when it comes out?I don't need amazing looks..but I do need smooth.

Yes it can. In fact it can play games better than most laptops of its generation due to the included dedicated graphics processor.

It will play most games. Some of the new games coming out will probably run too slow to really be playable, but for 99% of games it will be fine.

Oh yeah, it will play it just fine. Here is the requirements page, and this laptop exceeds the recommended. http://secondlife.com/support/system-requirements/

It would play it with no problems at all. Just be careful, o had to replace mine because the mother board and cpu were bad right out of the box. However my wives runs perfect.
