Legacy Edition forced on 64 PC

This patch forced the Legacy Edition on my high-end gaming PC. Some things do not work anymore. How do I get rid of it?

Thanks!

    OK. Fellow Simmers, 

    by sheer luck I managed to resolve this crisis.

    I was so upset that I dared to do it manually.

    Go to the Origin Games folder, Open Sims 4, find the Legacy Edition (it is the latest change to the files, so sort according to "date modiied") 

    DELETE it.

    Upon opening Origin, Origin will try to convince you that you need the LE. Do not give in. Go to game options, switch from LE to 64bit regular Edition - everything will now be ok.

    My computer is 64 bit but I installed the legacy edition before I checked it. Now the game doesn’t work and when I right click on ts4 in the origin app all options appear in a lighter shade and I can’t click on any of them. I tried removing the LE folder from the ea folder but that didn’t work too. Why might that be?
