Sims 4 legacy edition folder isn't there.

So, I recently downloaded The Sims 4 Legacy Edition and when I went to transfer my mods and custom content I couldn't find a folder for the sims 4 legacy edition. Dose ANYONE know how to fix this?

    Rightclick the game in Origin and select Game properties. on the Advanced tab. from the dropdown select 32 bit Legacy instead of 64 bit.

    Notice that you will not be able to run any new expansion (DU, Tiny living) or access the gallery. If you use Mods/CC you also need to make sure that these will work with Legacy.

    From what you wrote earlier it did not seem you had problems running the standard version.If you post a DxDiag I can check if you should have problems with it.

This is where it says they are, and in one drive my documents just have one thing in them with random numbers? And I did follow the instructions! Thank you for standing by! 😸

You are not running the Legacy edition. This is why there is no Legacy folder.

Why did you think you needed the Legacy Edition?
