Re: Can't Access Sims 4 Gallery Post S4 Legacy Edition Download.

★★ Guide

It's sad knowing I can never download anything from the gallery anymore. I used to use that to get homes for my Sims. I wish there was a way of changing this. It's just not fair.  Not impressed

Sims 4 not connecting to internet

★★★ Newbie

So recently Sims 4 got the legacy update. But my game is not connecting the gallery. I have a full Origin account and i also tried the Firewall thing to allow apps. but its just not working at all.

Since the update my Origin puts itself in Offline mode shortly after loading. I restart it to get the "critical update" but the same thing happens... It says that I've been disconnected because a mandatory update went live. But I can't get the update.

Sims 4 also won't launch, I just get an error box that I'm missing game data and I need to download The Sims 4 Legacy from Origin. Which I can't do because Origin keeps putting itself in Offline mode. 

Was all working just fine earlier this week before the update.

Re: Sims 4 not connecting to internet

@M00ccha  The Gallery is not available in the Legacy Edition of Sims 4.  Here's the full post on how the LE works:

@nu_s2003  Does your computer run Windows or macOS, and which version?

Hi, thanks for your help. I’m using Windows and I found the solution.

 

Downloaded Origin installer from their website - it then actually ran the necessary update.

 

I could then download the necessary Legacy edition free. Taking forever but I think it’s fixed!

Legacy Edition & Sims 4 University Not Compatible?

★★ Novice

So I am so confused right now. I pre-ordered Sims 4 University. I get an automatic critical download for my base game that now all of a sudden makes my game unplayable so I have to download the Legacy Edition. Now, I FINALLY download the new content to be told now that, even though the update launched yesterday, Sims 4 University will not be playable on that platform??? 

 

Someone tell me that this is not real right now. Somebody...Anybody!

@Markae009 This is the case. University is not supported for the legacy edition. This was communicated though

Are you sure you need the legacy version ? Are you on PC or Mac ?

If you indeed need it, I would reach out to support for a refund.
