I thank you all for the ideas but nothing works, I tried changing the graphics inside of the game this morning and 15 mins into the game it froze and crashed again.
I am beyond frustrated.

The latest and current version of macOS is Catalina, not High Sierra. Can you upgrade to that?
You don't need the Legacy Edition, even though you've installed it your Mac will not be running it. Have you moved your whole Sims 4 folder to the desktop and then launched the game so it is like new? If that doesn't work it sounds like your game is a mess so the best thing would be to completely uninstall and reinstall just the normal game, forget Legacy. Make sure you disable automatic updates so Legacy doesn't download.
Let us know how you get on after doing that 🙂","body@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":false,\"removeSpoilerMarkup\":false,\"removeTocMarkup\":false,\"truncateLength\":200})@stringLength":"203","kudosSumWeight":8,"postTime":"2020-04-04T11:20:50.199-07:00","lastPublishTime":"2020-04-04T11:20:50.199-07:00","solution":true,"metrics":{"__typename":"MessageMetrics","views":40900},"visibilityScope":"PUBLIC","placeholder":false,"showMoveIndicator":false,"originalMessageForPlaceholder":null,"isEscalated":null,"repliesCount":2,"readOnly":false,"attachments":{"__typename":"AttachmentConnection","edges":[],"pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null}},"customFields":[]},"ModerationData:moderation_data:11004600":{"__typename":"ModerationData","id":"moderation_data:11004600","status":"APPROVED","rejectReason":null,"isReportedAbuse":false,"rejectUser":null,"rejectTime":null,"rejectActorType":null},"ForumReplyMessage:message:11004600":{"__typename":"ForumReplyMessage","author":{"__ref":"User:user:2005432"},"id":"message:11004600","entityType":"FORUM_REPLY","eventPath":"category:the-sims-4-en/category:the-sims-en/category:ea-forums-en/community:tghpe58374board:the-sims-4-technical-issues-mac-en/message:11004592/message:11004600","revisionNum":1,"uid":11004600,"depth":8,"hasGivenKudo":false,"subscribed":false,"board":{"__ref":"Forum:board:the-sims-4-technical-issues-mac-en"},"parent":{"__ref":"AcceptedSolutionMessage:message:11004599"},"conversation":{"__ref":"Conversation:conversation:11004592"},"subject":"Re: HELP!!!!
