@havefeith The Legacy Edition is an add-on to the base game, and it works sort of like other packs. You can download it from Origin's Extra Content tab. Once it's installed, you can switch from the 64-bit standard to the 32-bit LE by right-clicking on the Sims 4 icon in your game library and selecting Game Properties > Advanced Launch Options.
Well, that sucks... I have to redownload the base game in order to use the Legacy edition, but when I tried to use my steam version, it gave off an error. I'm trying to play the game with some, shall we say, more mature mods. Those mods require the game to be at the latest version of the base game. Once I saw the error, I stupidly uninstalled the base game. This will take me ages to redownload, since my actual download speed is in the kilobytes range since I'm using Wi-fi. My apparent download speed is about 5 megs a second until a bandwidth limit of 100 gigs is reached, then it gets throttled to 1 meg a second after the limit. It's rather annoying that I can supposedly run the base game according to the best hardware testing site, but I can't play the deluxe version I currently own, due to some unknown errors. I think I'll wait until next month to try again.
So. After my frustration went away, I decided to re-download TS4. I got it downloaded, and TS4 legacy selected as my start-up option, But it still says that it can't start with the video card in my system. I still think this shouldn't be happening, but am willing to admit I may be going off outdated information. After all, how often does "Can I Run It" update their benchmark for a game after it releases? They don't have the Deluxe edition on their site, for heaven's sakes. Guess I definitely need to get a new computer. Any suggestions that won't cost over $1,200 Canadian with a decent hard drive in it? Shipping is included in that budget, by the way.
@havefeith I'm sorry the game isn't working, but it's possible that this is down to the lack of newer driver support. The "can I run it?" sites almost never update their info after a game's release, and even then, they go by official requirements, which don't usually include a list of supported drivers.
Do you want a desktop or laptop? I should be able to find a few good options within your budget, either now or in a week when the Black Friday sales start multiplying.
Desktop would be better, since I'm running into this problem because it's a laptop I'm using. No worries on sales; I won't have enough for it just yet. Still have to repay my grandmother $200. Give me about 6 months after that, and I'd have enough. Gonna be a pain transfering files, though, since I have no way of peer to peering any computers on my wifi. I've got an external hard drive though, which is the next best thing.
