Sims 4 Legacy Edition Problems

Question

Hello everyone,I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Sims 4 on my mac multiple times, and each time selected not to download the Sims 4 Legacy Edition. When it reinstalls, Origin says that it has not downloaded the Legacy Edition, however, when I go to my EA folder, it says that it has only downloaded the Sims 4 Legacy Edition. I am just confused as to why this happening, especially because the game has never prompted me to download the Legacy Edition and I have never previously had the Legacy Edition on this computer.Thank you in advance&nbsp;&nbsp;

Which EA folder are you referring to? Where is it located?&nbsp;Please can you provide more information about your Mac.

The EA folder I mentioned is located on my computer, under my Documents folder. My Mac is a Mac Pro (late 2011), which is currently operating on macOS Sierra

Can you please post the complete specs as asked for in the link. 2011 Macs do not support Metal so have to run the Legacy Edition of the game. However the Mac Pro can be an exception based on your exact model.

Thanks. You have a MacBook Pro which doesn't support Metal so you need to run the Legacy Edition in order to still be able to play. More info on the Legacy Edition here - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/The-Sims-4-Legacy-Edition-thread/m-p/8420037#M22694
