Re: Legacy Edition on new laptop?
@naekinap The Legacy Edition will likely download onto your new laptop even if you initially choose not to install it. The way it works is that the entire standard game downloads, plus the LE installs as an add-on much like other packs. However, you'll still be able to instruct Origin to launch the standard version instead. If you want the LE removed from your account so it doesn't download at all, you can contact EA customer support, but since it's a relatively small download, it might not be worth the trouble.
Just so you know, some new lightweight laptops have ARM processors in them and run a 64-bit version of Windows but do not support 64-bit gaming; these would also be limited to running the Legacy Edition of Sims 4. So if you're not sure what to make of the specs of a new system, feel free to link it here. You can also link laptops you're considering for a second opinion on how they'd handle Sims 4, or ask for general advice if you're not sure where to start.
