Forum Discussion
Hello! I have a problem now with my Sims 4 game. Yesterday it was fine but today it didn't launch the game when I clicked on it. In Origin it says on the top "The Legacy edition is now required for players on older OS." Mine is not old, Windows 10, 64 bit but I figured that I had to download it and this is what stops the launching. I downloaded Legacy, installed, everything but my game won't start. I tried to repair it, I cleared Origin cache and restarted my computer but nothing. When I click on it nothing happens, Origin just disappear for a second then pops back up. What should I do? This is really frustrating because I'm trying for hours now... Thank you!

Hi @marcipanfelho5 - if you know your Windows 10 is 64 bit, then you do not need the Legacy edition at all. (that message can be a bit confusing, it's just saying that if you DID have a 32 bit system, you would need the legacy edition)
To get back to the most up-to-date version of The Sims 4: In Origin, right-click the game's icon, choose "Game Properties", click on the "Advanced Game Options" tab and make sure the part that says "When launching this game" says "The Sims 4 64 bit". See the picture in this post
That should let you restart your game as it was before you downloaded the Legacy edition.
- @BlackjackWidow Yeah, I figured that out later and I checked the properties and it was on 64 bit but didn't want to start the game. :/ Now I'm currently reinstalling the full game and I hope it will work. Thanks for the reply!
- @BlackjackWidow It took ages to reinstall everything but my game finally works again! 🙂
If anybody has this problem, try to run Origin and The Sims 4 as an administrator and try to reinstall the full game. I don't know what was the problem but I fixed it somehow and I hope that now stays this way. :D Thanks again!@marcipanfelho5 - I'm so glad you got it worked out. Happy simming!!
- @BlackjackWidow hi i just installed the legacy edition today and now it wont open, i have changed it to open the legacy edition yet it still wont work whenever i click play it exits origin and then reopens it a few seconds later
