Re: [ARCHIVED] Questions regarding drop of 32 bit OS Support/Legacy Edition

After a long download from Origin, I can no longer play my Sims 4 game. I am told I should download Sims Legacy, which I will find by opening the DETAIL page for Sims 4 on Origin. I cannot find this.

How do I get to this "detail" page?

  • @PmlTry and @moniquegardner  To download the Legacy Edition, open your Origin game library, click on the Sims 4 icon, select Extra Content, and scroll to where the Legacy Edition is listed.  You should see a download button; the LE is free to anyone who already owns Sims 4.

    But before you do this, please make sure you do in fact need the Legacy Edition rather than the normal version.  Some people have been getting alerts that they require the LE even when they don't.  You can read this post (updated yesterday) for more details:

    If your computer runs a 64-bit version of Windows but you're still getting the message about needing the LE, right-click on the Sims 4 icon in your Origin library, select Game Properties, then Advanced Launch Options, and make sure you've enabled the 64-bit version of the game.
