Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so and what to provide here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612...
It's highly unlikely a game can break your Mac unless you have your laptop placed on a nice warm soft surface so air cannot circulate underneath and help cool it. It would then overheat which would be down to user behaviour and not the game.
Probably best not to play the game, I think University is more important
Anyway, provide the specs asked for above please and we'll see if we can help.
