Re: 2017 MacBook Pro, which version of Sims 4?

I seem to have fixed it kind of? I went onto origin and "repaired" my game, and I am able to play. except I have a glitch now where a big black box appears underneath my sims as if their shadow is glitching. Here are my Mac details anyway:

Model Name: MacBook Pro

  Model Identifier: MacBookPro14,1

  Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Core i5

  Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz

  Number of Processors: 1

  Total Number of Cores: 2

  L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB

  L3 Cache: 4 MB

  Hyper-Threading Technology: Enabled

  Memory: 8 GB

    When I tried to open Sims 4, the little box popped up saying my game was damaged or was missing data, so I thought I had to download the legacy edition ☹️ because I don't have the same processor and whatnot that EA recommended. I also know nothing about computers so I wasn't sure if my processor was better or worse than the minimum requirement that EA mentioned. I guess its all okay now? I hope. I don't see why it made me 'repair' my game but im happy I don't have to use the legacy edition 🙂 Thanks!
