Can I download The Sims 3 on my new 2012 Macbook Air?

I cant seem to find any current answers to this question. I recently bought a 2012 macbook air with maxed out specks (8GB RAM, intel core i7, etc.). Is it possible to run the sism 3 on medium settings without lagging. I'm also worried it may make my macbook overheat and kill it!:( (sims has been powerful enough to overheat, kill fans, and power off my ancient PC's in the past.

new to the mac family, thanks!
