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
Click and censorship visual glitch
Hi, how are you? I recently purchased The Sims Legacy and noticed that when I open the interactions menu in Live Mode (to click on the ground, an object, a Sim, etc.), I get a visual glitch. This also appears in the censorship when my Sim takes a shower or goes to the bathroom. I don't know how to fix it, and while it doesn't prevent me from playing, it's quite annoying. I've attached photos of what I'm dealing with. Thanks in advance for any help!
Sims and Sims 2 legacy collection
I bought the Sims and Sims 2 legacy collection and I didn't receive the bonus Sims 4 kits on either. The grunge revival or the throwback fitness kits. Amazon will not help me and EA won't help me. It has been a nightmare, Amazon says I have to contact ea the game developer and EA says I have to contact amazon the retailer I bought it from. I have tried to resolve this issue for days. Neither company is taking responsibility. They wont even try for a solution they just tell me to contact the other company there is nothing they can do.
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😅)
Wish List Item: Please give us a choice with add-on packs!
The Legacy Edition came with the edition of certain "Packs" that were never a part of any of my disk games. Never. You could download the characters from the commercials, if you chose. I chose not to. I've never heard of this massive group of mutant/army/futuristic skins that fill my skin data folder. I would rather not a) have NPC Sims randomly spawn looking like that in any of my places (Downtown, Magic Town, Studio Town) nor b) have to scroll through endless amounts of non-desirable faces and outfits that are better suited to a war game than the Sims. Choice is a wonderful thing. It's much of the appeal of The Sims: You tell your story your way, you choose how to play, you even choose which custom content to include. Frankly, having these packs automatically included limits my choice. I pull them out of the folder and then the program "nags" me about needing file repairs. Not being able to trust that my files have not become corrupted, I need to periodically "repair" them, which means the EA app will reinstall them. It's time consuming, bothersome, and limits my enjoyment of the game. Please, please, please, EA, consider making this a choice - a tick box even, for installing the game. Sincerely, A long time fan since 2000
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.
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.
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.The Sims™ Legacy Collection is NOT Launching

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.
