The Sims 4 Legacy Edition Struggles

Hey. I'm not sure if this is the right place but I couldn't find a better thread. I just wanted to get this out there. My computer isn't the best to play Sims on. It's used my many different people in my household and is a few years older than it probably should be. Because of this, I couldn't play Sims for awhile in order to get some help updating it. Once this happened, I was thrilled to be able to play again. And I did for about a month or so. And then this happened. I'm not joking when I say that I sat at the computer and cried. I don't understand why this is necessary and it makes me sad that I have to wait to get a new computer in order to play the Sims at it's best. I don't see that happening in the near future though. I'm not a builder either, so you can understand my frustration with being forced to. And even worse, I can't download University. So it makes me even more upset when they (sims creators/people in charge??) hype it up so much, then say "By the way, half the community can't access this." I hope you can understand where I'm coming from.
