Not at all. TjMax for your CPU is 100C. Intel CPUs will be happy even at 99*. Your macbook is just fine. 49 is a awesome temp. My 15 inch will hit 90's easily and im sure yours will too even under load. Nothing to worry about what so ever.

Thank you also when I run sims 4 on it, the temp went up to 67 but my fans were both running up to 6700 rpm. Is that good?

You do want to dust out the fan and heatsink fins once awhile. Use a soft paint brush and a can of can'ed air to dust out your system. Otherwise you're fine!

67 is perfect. Even the 90's is normal for this machine.

@tcrs_circuit - I agree the temp is within its normal range. Still a good cleanup once and a while can lower the temp if the fans/fins are clogged up.
