You can continue using the standard The Sims 4. If your Mac is from 2012 or newer, and you are using macOS Mojave (10.14) or Catalina (10.15), then your Mac supports Apple's Metal technology as otherwise you wouldn't have been able to install these versions of macOS.Please, install and play the Legacy Edition. If your Mac is from 2011 or older, it doesn't support Metal.The game now requires Metal - both your Mac (its graphics card) and the macOS version you have installed on your Mac must support Metal for The Sims 4 to run.įirst of all, press and hold the Option key while choosing Apple menu (Apple logo, top left) > System Information. If you don't get the option to choose 64 bit, it means your OS is 32 bit and you will need to download The Sims 4 Legacy Edition to keep playing your game.Make sure to select 64 bit though, otherwise you will be asked to download Legacy Edition as that's the version that can run in 32 bit. If you have both 64 bit and 32 bit option there, you are in a 64 bit Windows, and you don't need to install The Sims 4 Legacy Edition.Go to Advanced Launch Options and check 'When launching this game.' dropdown menu.Right click on The Sims 4 game on Origin > Game Properties.Is your Windows 32 or 64 bit?

In summary: if you need Legacy Edition, you cannot run The Sims 4 Discover University. For more information on this, please read this thread. This is not something that will change with future game updates. If your computer doesn't meet the new minimum requirements, we made Legacy Edition available to you so you can keep playing your previously purchased games, but Discover University (you can check system requirements here) or any future packs won't be compatible with Legacy Edition. The Sims 4 does no longer support non-Metal Macs or 32-bit OS PCs.
