Downgrade Catalina to Mojave Help

I wish apple made it so we can revert back to a previous version of the apple operating system. I upgraded to Catalina and it messed up my desktop formats, icons, no longer allows 32bit programs to load, etc. Can we please have a downgrade option?

Can I easily downgrade from this weekend's install of Catalina? Catalina has rendered my Adobe CS6 suite nonfunctional. I wish Apple had flagged this upgrade noting in huge capital letters that "UPGRADING TO CATALINA COULD RENDER SOME LEGACY PROGRAMS AS NONFUNCTIONAL... CHECK THE LINK BELOW BEFORE UPGRADING"! What I'd like to know is can I somehow get rid of Catalina without totally purging my HDD and my CS6 Install, or do I have to totally reformat my HDD and install Mojave all over?

How to downgrade from Catalina without erasing my whole computer Hey Apple community, I upgraded to Catalina without knowing it's going to interfere with my Steam games. Is there a way to downgrade to Mojave without having to erase my whole computer? I see that you can still access the Mac OS Mojave page on the Apple Store so I wasn't sure if it would hurt my MacBook if I installed Mojave while I currently have Catalina.
