Re: The Sims 4 Mac Legacy Edition thread

@durksterrr

There is no disc version of The Sims 4 for Mac, it has always required Origin to download and play. There is now no way to play the game on a non-Metal Mac. The current version requires Metal support and the Legacy version is no longer available and even if still installed, will not run.

    There is no solution. As per the opening post on page 1 of this thread you need a Metal supported Mac to play The Sims 4. Your Mac does not support Metal and cannot be upgraded to do so.
