Thanks for the info. You will have to play the Legacy Edition as your Mac does not support Metal. You won’t be able to play Discover University ☹️

I think you have AMD/ATI graphics? If so no, the Legacy Edition is currently not working on High Sierra with those GPUs. Could you please confirm your GPU?

Sorry that I "kidnap" your question bu I have the same problem and also on high sierra 10. 13.6 and I have an amd card. My computer is from mid 2011 though.
So why won't I be able to play on legacy, will all money just be wasted?

@Bluebell Flora for now i can’t even play it? Idk why. Is there a way to have Legacy Edition to work on High Sierra? I dropped my GPU parameters at EA_Mai’s thread aswell. I hope She will see it.

@pmcomp The FAQ here ( https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-and-Feedback/The-Sims-4-Update-on-Supported-Systems/td-p/7629106 ) describes how to get the Legacy Edition inside the Origin client. Good luck!
