Sims 4 impact and performance on MacBook Air M2

Hello! I use my MacBook Air for school and I want to make sure that playing the sims won't harm the performance of my computer in the long run since it is something I use all the time. Other than school I just use it for browsing, sometimes streaming and I have no other games installed. I am mostly concerned about my Mac slowing down, the battery being damaged, or my computer overheating. I also am worried about the performance of the game when playing. 

I have about 48 pieces of DLC with plans to get more expansion packs and I do not use any mods or cc. My Mac has an M2 chip, 10C GPU, 16GB, and 1TB. Is this enough for the game to run soothly and are there any precautions I can take to limit any potential technical issues?

    The game will run fine. Make sure you have the laptop on a hard level surface when you play, never on your lap/bed/sofa, so air can circulate underneath and help with cooling. You could invest in a laptop USB cooling fan to put your Mac on when you play. Never play on battery if you can help it, always make sure your Mac is plugged in. If the game starts to lag lower the graphics settings in-game.
