Yes I know. This game is a bit older. But I still love it.
My notebook has given up the ghost and now I need a new one that is used almost exclusively for Sims 3 and 4. Hopefully another successor in the future
The game should run smoothly with all extensions and all CC and downloads!
Unfortunately, I'm absolutely not familiar with graphics cards, processors, all the differences, etc. And would be very happy to get help!
I have already picked out a few and would be very grateful if you could give me feedback on which notebook would be the most sensible decision.
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, the ones you suggested are not really suitable for gaming. Everyone lacks an independent graphics card.
Take a look at this one:

It is slightly above the budget that the others cost, but you definitely have a notebook that can keep up in 2 years. Nothing should stand in the way of Sims 5.
Many thanks for your response.
At the risk of acting completely like the last fool. Can you retrofit such a graphics card?
These typical gaming laptops unfortunately don't appeal to me at all visually, even if that should be of secondary importance 🙄
The ones you chose are almost overkill for Sims.
In principle, a model for less than 500 euro is sufficient.
Which one you choose is up to you, I personally would choose a model with the i5 103G1, for example the first one. In principle, 8GB RAM is also sufficient.
A processor-integrated graphics unit is also sufficient for Sims
Unfortunately I had bad experiences that I bought a laptop on which the game did not run smoothly. This kills any joy in the game if it sticks, stalls or crashes.
So this time my motto is Safe is Safe!
The new one should now meet requirements and, if necessary, even if the Sims 5 continues in the future.
Unfortunately, you can't retrofit the graphics card. I also play a lot of Sims (4) myself and can therefore say that an integrated graphics card is not sufficient for the game over a long distance. Sims 3 in particular is still forcing many computers to their knees today (which is due to programming). Sims 4 is not that demanding, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't benefit from good graphics performance (it should also look nice). The look of the device is unfortunately also a question of price. In the price range up to 1400 euro you have a much larger selection.
Powerful integrated graphics cards have been available on notebooks for quite a long time. Ultimately, it is mainly this graphics unit or graphics card that matters. Sims 5, which is now pure speculation, will probably not run too well on all these notebooks anymore. Games are becoming more and more demanding graphically and only such less demanding games are possible without a dedicated graphics card. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to say what the Sims 5 requirements are. In general, notebooks are always very poor for gaming compared to PCs.
If you want a little more performance, I would look for a dedicated graphics card like a GTX 1050 ti or better, which should definitely make Sims 5, I guess. So far, Sims has never been particularly demanding. However, these notebooks are usually heavy and have a shorter battery life. A good compromise would be an MX 150, whether the Sims 5 can do it, no idea… But probably so.
This is very suitable: 400 euro
For me SIMS4 runs there with all mods and CC super creamy.
In your suggestion, Notebook 1 + 3 with the Intel iGPU is unfortunately somewhat weak for SIMS 4, this is due to the INTEL iGPU.
Notebook 2 + 4 are well playable.
