My last desktop ran super hot while playing TS4. Well, a couple of days ago I bought myself a gaming desktop. It has a GeForce GTX 2060 with 6 GB and an Intel i7 10700F, and even with that big boost in hardware, TS4 will make all of the fans crank up to high speed. Even the glass side panel is pretty warm to the touch. Why?

My RTX 3080 seems to handle the game pretty well and the computer doesn't get very warm, not compared to some other games, I still get massive framedrops from time to time though and the game is very cpu intensive. I don't know how people manage to play this on old computers. At least not on older saves.
Today I've used my laptop already and it seems fine. I hope it's not going to break up when I will play Sims later today. I'm definitely not going to play more than 1-1,5 hours this time.

(I won't give my age, but let's just say I'm going through the change of life with hot flashes, so it makes it ten times worse).
Does your laptop feel like it's running really hard when you play The Sims 4? If it does and you play using the Origin client you can see if this helps:
Open Origin, at the top in the menu bar select Application Settings, Scroll down to Start-Up Options and De-select Origin Helper Service.
See if that lowers your CPU load, mine was running at almost 100% playing the Sims 4 recently and it shouldn't have been anywhere near that. I don't play on a laptop but it fixed the problem for me and maybe it will help you too.
but yeah i don't really know why but my computer be running like crazy sometimes when i play and sometimes it makes not a sound and there doesn't really seem to be any particular reason either

I make sure my laptop has plenty of airflow, and I keep my Saves and Screenshots folders as empty as possible. I give it airflow by playing with it on two cheap plastic shelves stuck together:
ETA: What are you doing in the game? If you're building odds things or modding to have a ton of sims on a lot that may have an effect.
I always keep an eye on temps and stuff. This screenshot was after a few hours of playing. My fans are super quiet as well.
CPU fluctuates between 14% to 25%. GPU about 35% with an odd peak about 70%
The game seems to slow and drags more the longer it is running. I restart about every 3 hours
