I'm using an HP 27-inch All-in-One PC and want to create videos of my Sims 3 gameplay for machinimas. Are there any tips or upgrades I can make to boost its performance, knowing that upgrades might be tricky since it's an all-in-one? Here are my specs:
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics, 1.80 GHz
- Installed RAM: 12.0 GB (11.4 GB usable)
- System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
- Touch Support: Touch support with 10 touch points

Honestly, if you're locked into an all-in-one, your options are pretty bleak. You might just have to accept the current performance or save up for a faster computer altogether.
There are definitely ways to optimize your Sims 3 experience. Check out this guide that goes into detail: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1131162350. It lays out a bunch of tips for enhancing your gameplay!
Unfortunately, you're pretty limited with an all-in-one. While you can think about adding more RAM, it's often not an option. A dedicated GPU won't work either since AIOs typically don't support that. Your best bet might be to consider getting a new PC if you're looking for serious upgrades.
Honestly, if you're set on squeezing out performance for Sims 3, maybe consider some mods. They can really help improve the game's performance!
I've used that guide before and it was super helpful! Just a heads up—using mods can make a huge difference too.
