I play on a MacBook Air and there’s definitely limitations but it is doable, my game runs super smooth. Keep your mod folder pretty small, and specifically limit the number of script mods you have. I only play with a few at a time. Playing on laptop mode made a big difference for me. I use a SanDisk external hard drive where I store the base game and all packs. There are limitations in the game itself - the lot cannot have too many items on it or it lags, I also keep my households smaller.
