Maxis prepackaged cc
Have any of you managed to successfully download the prepackaged cc that Maxis gave us to this new Legacy edition? I'm talking about the McDonalds kiosk and the Pepsi machine. Anytime I try to open the prepackage files it tells me the game is installed incorrectly. Any work around?
“map_edit” cheat graphics not displaying (Sims 1 Legacy Collection)
Hi there, I’ve noticed that the graphics that used to be there when using the map_edit cheat in Sims 1 are now missing, and it’s extremely difficult to edit what tiles of the lot have placement permission or not, it would be nice to get this fixed.
Sims 1 Legacy too zoomed in and blurry
I've been playing since the Legacy version was released. I had relatively few problems and the scaling was fine, everything looked really nice still and was clear and readable. I just launched it for the first time in about a month, and suddenly it's all blurred and in terrible resolution. I've changed nothing on my computer, everything is the same as it was when I first played. Did an update mess something up, or did something else happen? I'm running Windows 11, 1920x1080p, new-ish graphics card (Nvidia model within the last few years). Basically nothing has changed, I haven't even changed any system settings.
The Sims™ Legacy Collection won't Launch - Crashes without error
Hello! I recently updated my PC to have a RTX 5080 graphics card and AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D processor. It runs Windows 11 Pro. After reinstalling The Sims™ Legacy Collection, it fails to launch. Crashing immediately, without any error messages. The icon just flashes in the task bar. I have been looking through the forums and none of the suggestions have been able to help me resolve this issue. I have tried the following: Have the latest version of the game installed Installed the latest windows updates Updated my graphics card drivers Configured windows to launch the game in low power mode Tried launching the game in Windows XP compatibility mode - as administrator Tried reinstalling the Microsoft redistributables from 2015 and newer. Collected my DxDiag and Vulkan info logs Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
The Sims Legacy (Steam version) won't launch
The game won't launch at all. When I try to run it, the Sims icon briefly flashes in the taskbar for a millisecond and then disappears. Steam acts like it's launching the game, but then the Play button just resets. I’ve already tried the suggested fixes from the official EA forum including updating my drivers, but nothing works. I’ve also seen other users mention that the issue might be related to the latest NVIDIA drivers. Please investigate and release a fix.
Game Doesnt Launch On Latest NVIDIA Driver
Sims: The Legacy Collection wont launch on driver 576.88 which means theres a regression in the driver or a Vulkan Incompatibility in the newer drivers which causes the game to not launch whatsoever regardless or compatibility modes. the only version that works and can confirm it works is driver 572.83 Hopefully a hotfix can be made for this as it stops people being able to launch the game. This happens on both the EA and Steam Version of the game. But reverting to 572.83 allows the game to launch.
Russian language in The Sims 1 Legacy
All The Sims games were translated to Russian except The Sims 1. Now you have published the game again as The Sims Legacy Collection and didn't included Russian localization in it? This was a perfect opportunity to include the all languages, introduced in The Sims 2 like Russian, Czech and Hungarian. Russian speaking community is one of the biggest, still the Finnish language (with all respect) is included and Russian is not. AT LEAST UNBLOCK THE RUSSIAN LINES IN-GAME so we, the fans, could translate the game properly. The Sims 1 has a separate space for Russian language lines, but it is disabled in .exe file so if you edit the text in Russian field by IFF Pencil, for example and save it, change Registry keys to Russian and it just loads English text. And replacing the English text is not the best way to do it, so please EA unblock that language technically.Remove regional differences in NBHD Screen / Unblock all music for non-US locale
Right now there is a difference when you play The Sims 1 Legacy using English language or any other: ENGLISH: the random track from \The Sims Legacy\Music\Modes\NhoodUS plays every time you visit the Neighborhood Screen, including: latin6.mp3 latin7.mp3 nhood1.mp3 nhood2.mp3 nhood3.mp3 - the iconic one which is absent in other languages ALL OTHER LANGUAGES: the random track from \The Sims Legacy\Music\Modes\Nhood plays every time you visit the Neighborhood Screen, including: latin2.mp3 latin4.mp3 latin6.mp3 latin7.mp3 so it basically plays Latin America style music even with European locales. What is the special need for this kind of segregation? in other the sims iterations there is small changes like clockwise or not road traffic, but not the music. Just include the all tracks in all locales, that would be fair. I think that nhood3.mp3 is the iconic one because the music matches the motifs of skill leveling up notification sound. And it exists only in English version. I'm also not sure that there is any sense at having different images with this black (World) or gray (US) asphalte roads in NBHD Screen like NScreen_unleashed.bmp and NScreen_unleashed_nonus.bmp from \The Sims Legacy\UIGraphics\Community. The black looks closer to the actual in-game lots using black asphalte tiles, and the US version has the gray asphalte and the road marks. If only black version could have these marks it would be perfect. Right now black roads looks unnatural without these separation lines.
questions regarding a slur in the sims 1 and 2
hello, this post is more aimed at the actual sims team, but i want to confirm something as you have started reselling the sims 1 and 2 for modern devices. In both of these games, they have the g word ( a word used against roma people). Has this been removed from the games before them being republished?
My The Sims 1 won't stop screen flickering
I got The Sims 1 Legacy and now I can't play it cause everytime I get into the game my screen starts to flicker, coming into the game and my PC Desktop. It keeps flashing and changing screens non-stop, from the game interface to my desktop screen, and vice versa. Could anyone who has faced this issue help me?
Z-Buffers on outside SW Wall
Are you all aware there is a serious z-buffer issues where objects bleed through the SW Wall? Well, now you are! Please look into this. If nobody has mentioned it here, well it's been mentioned in a lot of other forums and is a real issue that needs addressing. Thanks, Heather C.
Experiencing frequent lagging and shuddering after recent update for Sims 1.
I don't like having to complain on these forums but I'm not seeing any solution to the issues after these updates. My last post was about the UI scaling being too small and really difficult to see. This was the only issue that I really had apart from the game crashing whenever the burglar turned up. However, the burglar thing was resolved. After the last update I saw no improvement to the UI size but only more issues. Even when i changed the settings in the game. Since the update, my game is now lagging quite a lot and shuddering. It's jerky as and it was working completely fine before this update so its NOT my PC and I'm getting annoyed with EA assuming it is. It's not just me experiencing that. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game 3 times, I've removed custom content and nothing has fixed the issue. I'm disappointed because the sims 1 is one of my favourites and now I can't even play it because of this shuddering. Its just too frustrating. Edge scrolling still doesn't work now either when it did before the update. Can you please just figure it out and fix it already. Here's a tip. Before you release a game, get a whole heap of people from the general public to test the game on their personal PCs so you can see how it goes for all different systems/set ups. In fact, I'd be happy to test it for free myself with my friends. It's not hard and then you could release the games confidently so you don't have to be harassed from us gamers lol. I'm sorry but I don't understand how such a massive company doesn't consider this. If it's about the money, people will be happy to spend more if you give the people what they want.
