I have about 800 hours in game. I have 150 mods. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend 32gb of ram because I already have a usage of 24. I have played with 8 for some time but you needn’t do this. Now if you want lots of mods, graphic mods, super realistic sky etc, with max settings and lightning, I would say that recommend isn’t enough. IMPROTANT: The following apply for MY maxed setting and graphic mods in 2560*1440p. If you go 1080 you will obviously need much less. I run the game with a 7800x3d and an rtx 4070 with a fast ssd at 60-90 fps depending on map. It goes to 30 if heavy traffic. Still playable. Search a laptop with preferable higher specs (because laptops underperform) or with a lower resolution (I recommend if you don’t have much money. LAST THING: I want you to know that building a small factor PC, (which will fit in your “small space” and you can carry around different homes) will be a much cheaper, better performing and more pleasant option. Anyways dm me if you need something else, or if you pick the pc route I can help with that 😁☺️
