Hi, sims 4 is not very demanding in terms of hardware but you must consider decent specifications to run the game smoothly, choosing the right hardware also depends on your purpose do you want to just enjoy the game and play it casually or do you want to get those 60FPS at high settings which are the most gamers desires to achieve on any game.
I have played this game on an integrated graphics card and the game run decently at 40 FPS at mid-settings, however sims 4 has very nice visuals and animations that you can only enjoy with the dedicated graphics card, even a 2GB video card will do the job for you for this if you are spending on the laptop for sims 4 you have to spend around 550 to 600 dollars, the real fun starts when you extend your budget to above 600 dollars as in this range you get GTX 1650, 4GB graphics card which is pretty much solid for Sims 4 and other games as well, you can play this game at high settings with above 70-80 FPS which is more then enough for Sims 4.
Overall I would suggest a dedicated gaming laptop for sure for this you have to spend above 600 to 800 dollars and if you do not have this budget you can also set up a gaming PC for sims 4 as you can easily set up a PC for under 500 to 600 dollars. moreover, a PC is always a better and more powerful option than a laptop as under the system you get a powerful CPU and GPU that handles games much better another thing is you can always upgrade the hardware in the PC but the laptop has limitations you can only upgrade ram and storage that also depends on each product but in PC you can upgrade everything form screen to the processor, graphics card.
