@princesssarah816 The Legacy Edition hasn't changed since November 2019, whereas the standard version of the game has, and most mods have evolved to keep up. So the mods you're trying to use are likely incompatible with the Legacy Edition. Some popular mods do include a LE-compatible version; check the mods' download pages for more information. Custom content can also become outdated, but that happens far less often, as custom clothing and objects depend on resources that are updated only infrequently.
Do you in fact need to run the LE? It sounds like you were running the standard version without any issues until recently, which suggests that you should still be able to do so. (That is, unless this is a different computer than the one you were using before.) If you're not sure you need the LE, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post (Windows):

Or if you have a Mac, please list its full specs: everything under About This Mac except for the serial number.
In either case, please let me know if you were seeing an error when trying to run the standard edition of Sims 4.

I will look into it, once my son is in bed. I use to run the standard edition but then I received a new laptop, it says that my computer is 64 bit, once I get it depth it says it’s 32 bit. I’ll just google legacy edition mods. And if it doesn’t work, I’ll just use a different laptop. Thank you.

@princesssarah816 If you want to make sure you're stuck with the LE on this laptop, just post a dxdiag when you have time, and I'll take a look.

Also it says I have to use the LE version. It doesn’t even give me the option to force it to use the standard edition.
