Looking for a new gaming laptop. Any recommendations?

[esor_]

Hello! First time posting here.

I currently having a gaming laptop, but it's been going downhill for some time. I've decided to buy a new gaming laptop, but I don't know what to get. I've looked at a few, but I don't know much about computer hardware. I'm also looking to buy around Black Friday/Cyber Monday since there are a lot of deals on a lot of stuff during that time.

1. What is your budget? $2,000 USD and UNDER. Willing to go up to $2,400 if needed.
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? I'd prefer a 15.6" laptop size (since that's the size of my current gaming laptop), but I'd be willing to do 16" but I don't want a size bigger than 16" or smaller than 15"
3. What screen resolution do you want? It doesn't matter/what's best for my budget
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop? No
5. How much battery life do you need? It doesn't matter/best for my budget
6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low, Medium or High)? I play the Sims mostly (Mostly Sims 3 and 4, sometimes Sims 2). I'd prefer Medium/High settings. I have a LOT of custom content I use with Sims 4. I also play Jackbox games regularly (once a month) and other various other games (nothing like Call of Duty other other RPG games) occasionally.
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.) I also use my gaming laptop for occasional 3D modeling with Blender and use screen recording while using Blender. I also occasionally use Photoshop and video editing.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need? Minimum 1 TB, preferably more (at least 1.5 TB or more if possible)
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links. I don't have a specific website in mind.
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop? Preferably for as long as possible
11. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons. My current gaming laptop is Republic of Gamers, so I like that. Other brands I like are HP and Lenovo. I don't really have brands I don't like.
12. What country do you live in? I live in the United States.
13. Please tell us any additional information if needed. I need 1 HDMI port for the laptop (this is because I plug my gaming laptop into my TV to play Jackbox games with my friends) and at least 2 USB ports.
