Hi @OhCherriez 

Moving this to the mac forum for troubleshooting

Could you please provide your specs as described here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/READ-FIRST-Sims-4-Mac-Help-Guides-and-Troubleshooting...

@OhCherriez Legacy Edition is for 32-bit systems on Windows. The Sims 4 for macOS has always been 64-bit. I suspect that your version of macOS or your Macintosh hardware does not support Apple's Metal graphics technology. Metal is now required for The Sims 4 on macOS. If your configuration does not support Metal then you must use the Legacy Edition.

Okay, so this change -SIms 4 requiring GC Metal technology to run- happened on the last patch, correct? Because I was able to play even after the switch last year from 32 to 64 bit and the intro of Legacy. This is upsetting, to say the least. Thanks for the feedback.

No, it happened last November - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/The-Sims-4-Legacy-Edition-thread/m-p/8420037#M22694 @MaxisJoe has explained about 32-bit/64-bit in the post directly above yours.

According to your ModelIdentifier - iMac11,2 your Mac is a 21" 2010 model iMac which does not support the current version of the game. You will not have been able to run it and have been using the Legacy Edition since last November.
