Is a gaming laptop necessary?

I’ve been using a desktop since my old laptop gave up the ghost nearly ten years ago. The desktop is great and plays Sims 4 with almost no lag, but has become cumbersome for other reasons so I’m looking to switch to a laptop. Other than Skyrim, Sims is all I play, and otherwise I’ll need the laptop for work so pretty much just Microsoft office programs and online admin. The cheapest gaming laptop I can find is still >£500, but is a gaming laptop really necessary for Sim 4 + most expansion & game packs but no mods or CC? And going forwards, would a regular laptop be likely to work for further Sims 4 packs and Sims 5? I don’t really understand all the tech talk, so I feel completely lost. 

I’m on a tight budget, so really trying to keep it under £500, well under if possible. I can at a stretch go up to £750. I can probably keep the desktop for Skyrim if it’s really not possible to get something that will play that smoothly, but would like something that can play Sims.
