Well that sucks, I just tried everything to make it work including spending $100 on data to uninstall all my games and download them again for nothing. Not once has the EA representatives I have been going back and forth with mentioned anything about Legacy and its incompatibility with games released after 2019. Im so angry, I really thought this pack was going to reignite my love for SIms 4 (im hardcore Sims 3 fan) but they have completely lost me as a customer at this point! Thanks for the info though, they really should be more transparent about this cause alot of people have older computers.

You spent $100 on data to uninstall the game? What do you mean? You uninstall by right clicking on the game in Origin and select Uninstall. Thanks for the link
But according to it, i couldn't NOT have installed Legacy because my iMac is so old.
Will everything still work if uninstall it?
Saying that, when you mentioned above that you 'right click and select uninstall' were you referencing the whole of Sims4, or just the Legacy Edition pack?
I tried to figure out how to uninstall the package, but there didn't seem to be a way to hahaTIA x
Let's check your Mac and see if you actually need it. Please can you provide more information about your Mac. Instructions on how to do so and what to provide here - http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting/m-p/4612396/highlight/true#M162
I had to uninstall all my games and then re download them all which was about 40 GB. Data is not cheap in Australia. Sorry if I confused you!
Is this the info?
Yes, thanks. Your Mac does not support Metal so you can only play the Legacy Edition which does not support Journey to Batuu. From the FAQ I linked above:
Q. Do I need to download and install the Legacy Edition of The Sims 4?
A. You must download and install the Sims 4 Legacy Edition if you are running a Mac that does not support Metal. The following Macs DO NOT support Metal:
- MacBook 2010 models and earlier (White MacBooks)
- MacBook Air - 2011 models and earlier
- MacBook Pro 2011 models and earlier
- Mac mini 2011 models and earlier
- iMac 2011 models and earlier
- Mac Pro models can vary due to the ability to upgrade the GPU. Please see this Apple support page for more specific information and this thread from a user with a 2008 Mac Pro
Q. Is Discover University/Tiny Living/Eco Lifestyle/Nifty Knitting/Journey to Batuu compatible with the Legacy Edition?
A. No. Any Expansion, Game and Stuff Packs released since Legacy Edition was introduced in November 2019 are not available for users running Legacy Edition.
