Could my MacBook Air run The Sims 4?

I've currently got the MacBook Air 2015 with the 1.6Hz Dual Core I5 processor with a turbo boost up to 2.7Hz with the Intel HD 6000 graphics. Which graphics should my setting be to make to game look good but not be laggy?
Cooperation would be much appreciated.

    Hey @Sleighty64,

    MacBook Air are not meant to play games, they're not very powerful computers. Could it run The Sims 4? Yes, but with medium-low graphic settings, and laptop mode enabled. If you use high-ultra graphics and disable laptop mode, your Mac could overheat and cause damage to the hardware.
