Thanks. Yes, you need to run the Legacy Edition as your Mac does not support Metal. You will not be able to run Journey to Batuu. Maybe see if EA will give you a refund? https://help.ea.com

@maticspawn You're saying you're using the legacy edition of the game. The pack doesn't run with that.

Could you please enter your game version ?

Here's instructions: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-How-does-this-forum-work/m-p/8775353#M124496 to check if that's the problem.

Good Luck

@crinrict So I have updated the version number (1.66.139.1620), so should i then un-install the Legacy Pack, so I am able to use the Star Wars: Journey to Batuu Game Pack instead.. or won't it work and I should ask for a refund from EA??

@Bluebellflora thanks for this information, but wouldn't it have been nice if EA informed users that if you have the Legacy Version installed, you shouldn't download the Star Wars: Journey to Batuu Game Pack.??

Please make a new thread in the PC forum here - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/bd-p/The-Sims-4

If you have JTB successfully installed in your game, which you do, you will not be running Legacy Edition and you are not on a Mac (this is the Mac forum Standard smile )
