@quinnifin Unfortunately a legacy version game has certain limitations. This is because it's a version of the game that has been 'capped off' at a certain time, November 13, 2019. This is due to the fact that for computers with older technology that is no longer supported with current updates in the game. Several features of the Legacy edition are:

New updates/patches (from November 13, 2019) for The Sims 4 will be unneeded by and not downloaded to the Legacy edition
It is not be possible to add packs that are released after November 13, 2019 to the Legacy edition
The Legacy edition has no access to the Gallery
Lots of great information about the Legacy edition can be found here: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2019/11/sims-4-legacy-edition-2/

The positive part is that the Legacy version allows users with an older computer to still use their game.

@SheriGR Oh that sucks but also makes a lot of sense. I thought I remembered this past summer being able to access the Gallery and that was probably because I wasn't playing the Legacy edition yet.

Thank you so much (@EuphorialQueen as well). You have been super helpful!
