Who's still playing the Sims 1 from time to time?
I've been loving it recently, when I'm playing I just feel like I'm in a totally different time period or something :D Anyone else feel that way? :) http://666kb.com/i/dbqzdeuy1w4dz67qw.png

Haha, I thought that must be you, but didn't want to assume! I'm playing Sims 3 at the moment, a world I made which has 162 lots and a lot of effects, and my old computer does just fine with it. I built the PC myself (specifically for Sims 3) and the only upgrades it has had recently are new hard drives (faster! :) ), but it does have great cooling as I have a decent CPU fan in there (with the best thermal paste) and a gaming case with extra fans. So it runs my large world with around 300 sims on 60-80 FPS with GPU and CPU under 60 degrees C, although in reality I throttle the framerate to match the game render rate (30FPS).
You are going to play Sims 3 on a laptop? Make sure you have one with good cooling, as heat could be a problem! You'll need a good graphics card too- one with seperate memory, not integrated. This forum is a good place to look for help with that- try posting a question there, as some knowledgeable people might answer you! :)
