@kiddourte It would be useful to have a little more info about this laptop, but in general, a model with this processor and graphics chip should be able to run Sims 4, all packs included, on high graphics settings. You might be able to play on ultra settings, depending on your playstyle and which packs you install, as well as a few other factors about the laptop itself, but it's definitely not guaranteed.
The only way running Sims 4 would damage your laptop is if you allowed it to overheat, and even then, computer hardware will throttle itself to keep temperatures within a safe range. Still, make sure to play on a hard flat surface like a desk, or else use a laptop tray or cooling pad or fan. As long as the laptop is built properly, you should be fine.
With only 8 GB RAM, you'll also want to keep multitasking to a minimum while playing. Having a browser window or two open is fine, but running a handful of apps alongside the game could also negatively impact performance. It certainly wouldn't damage your laptop; it's just that you might see slowdowns here and there.
