Question about third-party Custom Content managers for The Sims 1
Hey there! I wanted to ask if there are any known restrictions or guidelines regarding third-party tools that manage or distribute Custom Content for The Sims. I'm currently researching the development of a third-party tool for managing CC in The Sims 1 as part of a capstone project. The idea is to build a mod manager capable of organizing, downloading, and installing custom content, with a possible integration to an external website where creators could upload their mods and players could download them through the application. A very early prototype of the tool already exists in a limited form (called TS1-ModLoader) which focuses mainly on detecting file conflicts. The goal of the project would be to expand this concept to include mod hosting and automated installation. The tool would not distribute any original game files, only user-created content. If there are any policies, documentation, or guidelines related to this (or if there is a better place to ask about it), I would really appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
The Sims 1 Legacy Still Cannot Launch on RTX5080
The game just simply crashes without any info every time I open it. I tried lots of compatibale solutions like using AMD CPU HD Graphics to launch the game. These just won't work. I wonder if there is a way to run the game without resintalling old drivers. Cause using old drivers will cause low FPS or bugs on some new video games. Does Maxis ignore all the existing problems on Sims1&2 Legacy and do nothing now? I am really looking forward to a new update patch to solve the problems.SIMS double deluxe serial number errors
I purchased an external disc reader and was super excited to show my daughter the game, and after figuring out the compatibility part, I am running into the issue of my 22-digit serial number not working. I am only able to type in 20 digits, and that doesn't work either, leaving off the last 2 numbers. Has anyone had these issues?
Sims 1 Wont Launch: Crashes on Opening Screen
Hola! I had very few bugs with Sims 1 until the very last update. Ever since my game won't launch, only a few seconds after the opening screen appears it crashes so I was unable to access the game FOR MONTHS. I didn't pay for a game to have it as decor, I want to play it since my simming experience started with TS2 so I never had the chance to experience TS1. However, I repaired and reinstalled the game dozens of times and it still keeps crashing. I have tried everything and it just won't launch. If anyone has any suggestions, please don't hesitate. Thanks Kind regards
Can some one help! WARNING; game flashes
So I have The Sims + The Sims pack and this keeps happening 😭. I tried both repairing and uninstalling and reinstalling the game and it's still doing this. Can anyone please help me! ( Sorry for the talking in the background boyfriend is playing the new battlefield😅)The Sims™ Legacy Collection is NOT Launching
The Sims™ Legacy Collection on Steam was working (launching>running) fine about a month ago, but now the game is not launching, despite trying several solutions that I found online. The game logo briefly appears in my taskbar and then disappears. The game doesn't run, and the Steam button just switches back to "Play." OS Name: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro Version: 10.0.26100 Build 26100 Please fix and propose any solutions. Thank you.

Hey, everyone. I've attached the specs of my new PC here. Any ideas on how to get the game to start? I just get a black screen and sometimes some sound. It messes my PC up so much that the task manager even crashes. The EA Error Reporter app just freezes when I try to submit a report. Insanely frustrating!
Odd spawn point when Sim comes home from work or school (Sims 1 Legacy)
I noticed a minor bug, nothing game breaking, but when my Sim comes home from work or a kid comes home from school, they don't automatically spawn. I have to click their faces in the family and then they spawn by the mailbox rather than by the vehicle they exited. Happy to create a screen recording. Cheers, [Purchased via Steam]Stuttering after patch #6
As the title suggests. Stuttering all the time even with minimal sims in the lot. Cursor flashes when moving it through any interactable object before even starting to select interactions. My machine confortably passes min specs. Tried multiple solutions to no avail, including running as admin, changing graphics card to integrated, different resolutions, windowed mode. Gforce GTX1050, i5 2.50ghz, 16GB RAM. Fine before patch #6 on Steam.
Sims 1 Legacy - Can't run in background
I'm glad they have resolved the issue where the game pauses instead of minimizing when switching to another window. However, I would like to have the option to keep the game running seamlessly on any of my three screens without pausing. This way, I can multitask and continue working or doing other things while my Sim goes about their activities, whether that's working or sleeping.
Unblock the RU language code (0D / 13) (-lRussian) in The Sims Legacy
There is already a language code for Russian language and it was in-game since the version 1.0 of the Sims. Even more, it seems to be working in pre-release version of The Sims 1 (Edith) but it was disabled later when the text got translated to other languages (except Russian). There is no official translation to Russian, OK, but dear devs can you finally unblock our language code which was intended to be enabled so we could finally make a quality translation mod by ourselves. Right now if you edit the game files with IFF Pencil or other tool and save the string in Russian localization space (using HEX code 0D or 13) and then start the game with the Russian language attribute (like having RUSSIAN in SIMS_OTHERLANGUAGE in Registry or adding "-lRussian" at the shortcut) it just ignores it and run the game in standard USEnglish locale. The problem is that both USEnglish and UKEnglish use 12H clock system which is absolutely makes no sense in Russian language and is hard to get away with it, so when you making a translation just by replacing the English text, this thing just spoils the thing. As alternative I saw the attempts to place the translated text in the Spanish or French locales (which use standard 24H clock) - but that results the Frensh or Spanish text in any additional objects/content when you put it to your downloads folder. This annoys so much. All the game files seems to fully support the possibility of Russian localization support: there is a Russian localization space in all .iff files, there is a mention of Russian in UIGraphics/Res_Languages.h: const Sint32 kRes_LanguageDefault = 0; const Sint32 kRes_LanguageUSEnglish = 1; const Sint32 kRes_LanguageUKEnglish = 2; ... const Sint32 kRes_LanguageFinnish = 11; const Sint32 kRes_LanguageHebrew = 12; const Sint32 kRes_LanguageRussian = 13; const Sint32 kRes_LanguagePortuguese = 14; const Sint32 kRes_LanguageJapanese = 15; ... There is even a separate Russian font folder in UIGraphics.far archive (trough these fonts dosen't support Russian letters actually, but it's not a problem we'll mod them). I've run several tests and right now I'm absolutely 100% sure that the language has been disabled right in Sims.exe: I just put Sims.exe from Sims Edith edition in Sims Legacy folder with modified UIText.iff having Russian strings for splashing messages in Russian localization space (0D or 13). It worked, trough game expectedly crashed soon after the launch, but the strings were in Russian from RU space (not the US one). Can you please just enable this language code again and make the life easier for such a big Russian speaking game community? Just enable the Russian / 0D lang code, we'll handle the perfect translation by our hands! It takes nothing from you, it's literally 1-word code change! Please EA, at the 25th anniversary of the game, can you finally bring us that possibility to have separate Russian line working? If anybody will ever create more objects for The Sims 1 they could finally place Russian translation in Russian line and English in English. I think this is a simple edit manupilation by just adding line 'Russian' next to 'Finnish' and before 'Portuguese' in the game code for Sims.exe so the game can finally load the text from 0D/13 locale. P.S. 'Hebrew' lang code was disabled the same way, maybe you'll have to enable it as well so Russian loc space could work fine, but I'm not sure about it
Photo Album Text/Captions Still Not Saving
The February 27, 2025 patch notes provide a list of "fixed issues" and among them is "text/caption added to a snapshot would not be saved." However, I am still finding that every single time I load the game--both before and after yesterday's patch and the February 27 patch--I invariably lose the text/captions on dozens of photos. This problem persists across multiple families/households/etc. Last night, I had a photo album with 38 photos, all of which included captions. This morning, only 5 of them still include captions. The rest are blank. This is an extremely frustrating, recurring problem. I hope that this is something the team can try to prioritize fixing immediately.
