Will downloading Sims 4 slow down my iMac?

Here are my specs: 

macOS Sierra (Version 10.12) 

iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015)

Processor 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory 8GB 1867 MHz DDR3

Startup Disk Macintosh HD

Graphics Intel iris Pro Graphics 6200 1536 MB

Storage 951.41GB/1TB (available) 

For the past few years, I've been playing TS4 on my MacBook Pro (Late 2012, 13 inch, without retina). With the settings I had on the game (I had quite a few of the graphics on high, and others medium) along with additional downloads of packs and mods, its general performance and speed slowed down. Since recently buying an iMac a few months ago, I've been wanting to download TS4 on it for better playing. Although, I'd like to avoid anything that will significantly slow down its performance. I'm just being extra cautious. Thank you in advanced for your response(s). (:

    While you are downloading the file it will be very slow, of course, but just having it on the computer should not slow it down at all. I have an iMac as well, and the only time it is slow is when I have the sims 4 up and running while trying to do other things. Overall though, I have not noticed much of a difference in it's performance.
