Will Sims 3 destroy my Acer Nitro 5?

An insufficient power supply would hinder processor and graphics card performance across the board. I have to admit that I am not a hardware engineer by trade, but Acer is not going to sell you a pre-built $1,000 USD gaming class laptop with a power supply insufficient to run its own components. Your H-series processor is more than capable of running the game "with two fingers up its nose" as the charming expression goes (okay, perhaps more common in the US would be "with one hand tied behind its back").

Issues with power supplies are over whether they are sufficient to run the components you have, not run programs you wish to install. This becomes important when building or upgrading one's own computer, but this is a laptop and can't really be upgraded like a desktop can. So you can't, for example, just pop a higher end graphics card and processor into a desktop that doesn't already have a PSU sufficient to run them without upgrading that as well and taking cooling system issues into account, and expect that to work. But that's not what we re talking about here at all.
