You do not need the Legacy Edition as your Mac is a 2015 model. It is NOT a general fix but for those who have 2011 or earlier model Macs that do not support Metal.

Your problem is that you have Origin Access which is not available for Mac. You need to buy the game outright through Origin.

    But it says I can "chek it in library". 

    So I need to delete this and buy it one more time?

        No version of Origin Access is available for Mac users.

        Have you actually purchased the base game of the Sims 4? Or an Origin Access membership only?
