Answer (1 of 3): Of course you can. I did play it on for a while but it used to crash a lot. May be coz it was old (Macbook Air 2015, i guess anyway). Deleted alot of crap on my Mac but still wouldn’t help. I just got the new macbook air m1 and have played the sims yesterday and today. I play with cc and mods. So, i turned vertical sync and was able to download origin and play through there normally - no issues with that. Now yesterday i was able to play for 3-4 hours before it got really hot, and was using it with the charger connected.
Your computer is designed to be used. Still, the more you use it the sooner it will fail. THe drive wears out. The batteries have limited recharge capacity. On the other hand if you put it on a shelf and never turn it on it will also eventually fail as parts like batteries simply degrade with time.
Now how you decide to use it is up to you. Yes, if the CPUs are cranked up a lot it will generate heat. It will probably be reading the drive a lot. It might slow down other use if you are trying to play the game and watch a HD video at the same time.
