User blog:Lost Labyrinth/The Sims 4 system requirements revealed

This was announced several days ago but nobody wrote about it. I figured as some of you are probably interested, I'll write about it anyway.

The system requirements for The Sims 4 have been revealed. They are as follows:


 * REQUIRED: Internet connection required for product activation.
 * OS: Windows XP (SP3), Windows Vista (SP2), Windows 7 (SP1), Windows 8, or Windows 8.1
 * PROCESSOR: 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, AMD Athlon 64 Dual-Core 4000+ or equivalent (For computers using built-in graphics chipsets, the game requires 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-62 or equivalent) MEMORY: At least 2 GB RAM
 * HARD DRIVE: At least 9 GB of free space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content and saved games
 * DVD-ROM: DVD ROM drive required for installation only
 * VIDEO CARD: 128 MB of Video RAM and support for Pixel Shader 3.0. Supported Video Cards: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or better, ATI Radeon X1300 or better, Intel GMA X4500 or better
 * SOUND CARD: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
 * DIRECTX: DirectX 9.0c compatible
 * INPUT: Keyboard and Mouse

It doesn't go too far away from those of The Sims 3. Please note that these are the minimum requirements.

Will Maxis succeed in their promise of getting the game to run great or will it be as badly optimised as SimCity and TS3? Only time will tell.
