Sims 4 University expansion won't open.

Hello!

 

Recently I purchased the University expansion pack. I bought it, downloaded it, and waited for it to open. I rebooted my game 3 times because the University expansion didn't show up, and I researched in the forums. I have an iMac (mid-2010), with an intel core i3 (64 bit) which should be fine to play without Legacy. Please help.

@giovana_yanez Is your iMac definitely compatible? Does your computer support Metal?

@catcatsimmer04Legacy Edition does not support access to the gallery or any online features.

2010 model iMacs do not support Metal so you will need to download and play the Legacy Edition - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/The-Sims-4-Legacy-Edition-thread/td-p/8420037

Re: legacy edition

@junipersfalling

You need to update your Mac to High Sierra or later (El Capitan 10.11 and Sierra 10.12 are experiencing issues so better to skip them)

@Bluebellflora Unfortunately, since your Mac is too old to support Metal, it won't support University (the only 64-bit version of The Sims 4 that now exists for Mac is the Metal version, and the 32-bit Legacy Edition doesn't support anything post-dating Island Vacation).

If you do not wish to return University, or you have had it too long to use the money-back feature, the only good news is that it will still be in your account, ready for the moment you do have a compatible computer.

Did you mean to tag the OP?

Legacy Edition for Mac is also 64-bit. Metal and 64-bit are completely separate entities, this may help you understand a little better - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_(API)

The Legacy Edition of the game supports all packs up to and including Realm of Magic (ROM and Moschino were released after Island Living).
