My Operating System is already running 64 bit so I dont understand why Origin told me I had to download and install the Sims 4 Legacy Edition and the game would NOT run until I did. And now that I did that I cant get rid of it or play without it and just learned that with this Legacy Edition I can NEVER buy another Sims 4 expansion or other pack OR get ANY future updates. PLEASE tell me there is a fix coming for this as I was hoping to get the new Discover University expansion. ☹️ HELP!!! I have a barely 2 years old laptop with Windows 10 and a 64 bit operating system.

I'm curious about something in regards to households and lots since this update came through:
You created new households and lots in either legacy or standard versions or both, can you move those households and lots across to these various versions of TS4?
If so - can you provide a step by step guide to add to your FAQ as to how to go about doing that?
(It could be helpful if you are locked to a 32bit system and plan on an upgrade to 64 bit system and don't want to lose the effort you put into it when you do upgrade and start getting the DLC packs to unlock those households.)
Also those who enjoy having limited or no internet might want to transfer those households and lots across the standard to the legacy version and have it all in one place, either as a back up or a place to test out all their experiementations with CC while keeping the standard version clean, and since the legacy version won't get updates, it would be perfect for all those mods and having such copies of households and lots put there.
- crinrict7 years agoHero+@Hoverael Once you upgrade to 64 bit, you can just move your files back to the Sims 4 folder in documents and it should all be there. Going from 64 bit to 32 bit isn't possible. Once a saved was loaded on 64 bit, you can't go back.
That part should be in the official FAQ I have linked above.
It is probably possible to just save your households to to library with legacy and then move to the tray folder on 64 bit. Shouldn't be different then when you do that from standard to standard.
The only difference is that you don't have the gallery to help you on legacy.

For some reason my options menu does not have the "When launching this game" field. It only shows language and command line arguments. I have attached the DxDiag file.
- crinrict7 years agoHero+@phantom_dragon16 Did you download the legacy edition ? You should be able to launch the normal one.
If you start the game, what does it say in your task manager ? Sims 4 legacy or Sims 4 64 bit ?
@shreeree08 Do you also have no option to switch back as shown in the FAQ post ?
