The Legacy Edition doesn't exist anymore and your Mac wouldn't even run it if it was because it was only for non-Metal Macs.

Cancel the download then make sure automatic downloads are off in the EA App settings and quit the app. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access and make sure access is enabled for EA App. Then re-launch EA App.

Thank you.
- automatic downloads are off
- i enable the full disk access (it wasn't enabled before)
but still, I can play only the basegame ☹️ When I play the sims and I want to load my previous family (from Origin), it says I have to install the packs. When I make a new family, I even can't see the Henford on Bagley or any of the cottage living stuff, it's like I don't have it. But EA App says I have it installed. Do you have any idea what to do please?

I tried to "repair" the Sims in the EA App, but it didnt help.
