Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-53-51WD or OMEN HP 15-en0011np?

Question

Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-53-51WD or OMEN HP 15-en0011np?Which is best? Thanks in advance :)Background: a few weeks from now i was decided to buy components for a new desktop and i would have the help of a friend to build it. With the extended lockdown in my country (that will last until end of april) i haven't had any news from my friend... yesterday he finally answered me and the news were not good. Most of the components i want are sold out and there's no prediction to when they'll be available. I need a new pc urgently (for work, because mine is old and failing a lot) but i want it to run sims 4 too and whatever comes next, if so...

Buy Acer predator only if you play another game besides Sims 4 as it has a better graphic card (rtx 2070) and higher resolution and refresh rate for more smoothness but for some reason only have one stick of 8GB(it's adequate unless your work calls for heavy processing stuff) ram though you can upgrade it later if the laptop allows it. if you gaming sims 4 exclusively go for omen hp for a cheaper alternative (1080p display only and gtx 1650, but bigger ram capacity 2x8GB), not sure if the price is accurate since I only see it on Portuguese(?) website.

Specs Wise I got  AMD 7, 16GB Ram, the GT-1660 graphics card(6 Gb ?) and the 500GB SSD.

I had a predator but returned it. It overheats like crazy. I have an alienware now and can play all day and it stays cool. So just a warning ;)

edit to add

This is the one I had, think its been a few years ago now, so they might be better, but I would suggest reading lots of reviews first :)

Thank you for your imput. I also work with photography and i multitask a bit (photoshop, youtube and others)... i wasn't unsure about the omen, as i heard a few bad reviews from preview models. @Kerrigan those specs are the ones i'll have if i choose the omen. So, you're happy with it... can you let me know a bit more about your use of it... like if you only play sims (i only play sims, with all dlc and mods...), what other heavy programs you use, etc...?
