    @bsblover89 What errors did you get? What Mac are you on (can you provide CPU and GPU info)?

      The first error I got was unable to start up and migrate data then after that one another showed up telling me I needed to download the legacy edition in order to keep playing. The photos below are my computer specs 

      however being a computer that is almost 10yrs old it does not come with metal graphics which I am aware is what they will be further supporting in future sim updates.

        @bsblover89 Do you happen to know exactly what the migration error said? And what did it look like (were there a bunch of numbers along the bottom, or was it an Origin-looking window, or a macOS looking window)?
