Re: ❗️ Sims 4 issues with Mac OS X El Capitan

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)

I don't want to upgrade my macOS because Catalina does not support 32-bit applications that I need for work. I also do not have most of my files backed up and I am worried a may lose some while updating to an OS that is much more advanced than mine.

You don't have to upgrade to Catalina, High Sierra or Mojave will do:

High Sierra - https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208969

Mojave - https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT210190

I've merged your thread into this El Capitan one.
