You can’t compare your MacBook to a MacBook Pro. The current models and previous 15” have powerful 6-core and 8-core processors and dedicated AMD 4GB or 8GB GPUs, your MacBook has a low spec dual core Intel mobile processor with an integrated graphics chip and no internal fan to cool it down. 15” and 16” MacBook Pros have two fans and multiple vents. Your issue isn’t the OS, it is the limitations of your Mac hardware.
If I had your MacBook I wouldn’t have the game anywhere near it and especially now that it’s displaying overheating symptoms. But that’s me, it’s your Mac

Same problem for me too guys. The problem is exactly like this and I have even seen users having this problem with their brand-new MacBook Pros. I am hopeless and frustrated. This is so annoying! I just want to play the game. Besides TS4 is not like TS3 needing that much processing power. That's why they got rid of full world map.

@death-flower246 Hi, I've merged your new post into your existing thread. Thanks for the info. Is this still about the same laptop as before? If so, the issue is as Bluebellflora has stated: this laptop was not designed to carry the load you're putting on it. Some MacBooks will hold up okay for a while, but a kernel panic isn't at all a surprising result.
As your config.log shows, your graphics card is already in the database. So there's nothing to be done by adding it. You can lower all the graphics settings to the minimum to see if it helps, and of course try to help the laptop cool better. But with your current hardware, there's not much else you can do. In your position, I'd be worrying that trying to play Sims 4 was damaging my laptop, not that the game was crashing.
