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?
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.
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?
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.
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.

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.

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!
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!Stuttering when moving mouse.
I've recently changed from an intel MacBook Pro with windows 10 to a HP gaming laptop. The Macbook played the game fine, but now that I have a my new computer moving the mouse makes the game stutter. The whole game can grind to a halt if i rapidly move my mouse pointer around. It doesn't matter if I use the trackpad or an actual mouse. I should add that i've noticed that moving the mouse doesn't cause lag if you move the camera. So if I hold the right mouse button while the game is running the stuttering doesn't happen. Another thing i've noticed is that the mouse cursor flickers while playing. I did a clean install of Windows 11 and installed the game first thing, and the issue is still there. I conclusion, whenever I move the mouse cursor in game the game stutters and the cursor itself flickers. I've been doing some research and other people have reported similar issues in other games, their culprits are everything from background programs/apps to mouse polling rates. I've tried it all.
Z-Sprites clipping through walls (in cases they don't in Complete Collection)
While some Maxis/EA objects do clip in Complete Collection (the Livin' Large doors come to mind) many objects which do not clip in Complete Collection do clip in Legacy edition. "The Elegant Chef Buffet Table" from house party is a pretty bad offender. As do the backs of "The Oval Glass Wall Sconce". In fact, quite a few wall lamps have backs that clip when the front of the lamp is facing North West.Community lots not loading in Sims 1 Legacy edition.
I bought the legacy edition off of EA but none of the community or DLC lots have anything in them. I can load into them just fine, but there aren't any houses/ buildings and there aren't any sims. I've tried uninstalling the game multiple times and even "repairing" the game. I've even tried to moves some of the files around but haven't had any luck at all. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
