@LoriBQ I've moved your post to the general discussion section, since you posted in a Mac thread and don't seem to be asking for troubleshooting help.
If your PC has a 64-bit version of Windows, you can play the standard edition of Sims 4, regardless of whether the Legacy Edition was offered. But if it's a 32-bit system, then yes, you're out of luck. Honestly, I'm surprised the game runs well at all in 32-bit anymore, especially with a number of packs installed. The new EPs are likely going to increase the demands even further, and 2 GB RAM is likely not going to be anywhere near enough anymore.
Well, this is what happens when you type something in Google Search and end up in a foreign land without realizing it. ;-)
Hopefully, I can find the General Discussion area and hopefully learn more about my PC.
It IS 64-bit and I have 4gb available RAM, yet I was forced to install the legacy edition.
@LoriBQ Since you only have 4 GB of RAM, the game probably force the 32 bit game version of the game on you before the update which led to it being legacy now.
You don't need to though.
This posts gives you instructions how to switch to 64 bit: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/PLEASE-POST-HERE-Questions-regarding-drop-of-32-bit-OS-Support/td-p/7681382/
If you can, it might be worth considering adding extra RAM though.
