@Simsprincess80 If you're talking about an i5-1135G7, then the answer for Sims 4 is yes, this processor and its integrated graphics chip should be able to run the game on medium-high or high graphics settings even with all packs installed. For Sims 3, it's right on the border: another player with this chip reported that she could run most packs together, I think 9 or 10 EPs out of 11, on a mix of high and ultra settings with no signs of lag. Sims 2 should be fine if you're willing to manually apply a couple of fixes. (I'm not the person to ask about those.)
If you have a choice among models, look for one with RAM that runs at a higher speed, preferably above 4000 MHz. Because the graphics chip will be borrowing from main memory, it will help performance for that memory to be running at faster speeds.
I'd also suggest 512 GB storage since you'll presumably want to store screenshots and other user data in addition to the games themselves. Sims 3 saves in particular can get quite large, and it's always good to have backups. But technically, you could fit all three games and some user content on a 256 GB drive if you were careful about cleaning out excess data or transferring files to an external drive.
If your copy of Sims 3 is registered in Origin, you'll be able to download it with no disc required. That's not the case for Sims 2 though unless you already have the Ultimate Collection.
