Sims 1 still has issues and needs another update
After the Feb 4th update, the game finally launches for me, but this weird fuzzy black bar is across the screen during gameplay and it won't go away... it makes it so hard to see their needs and forget about trying to build a house or buy anything because its also hard to see.... and EA almost fixed it. I have never played Sims 1 ever and I was so looking forward to this release so that I finally could experience it. Please release another update EA!Solveditsoliviarose3 days agoSeasoned Newcomer252Views1like8CommentsUnable to Travel to Lots on the Right Side [Fixed]
I am having a problem with The Sims 1 Legacy edition. I want to send my sim to travel to Old Town Quarter, one of the lots in the bottom right. However, this lot and the lots near it are unclickable. In fact, all the lots in the right side won't display any info and are not clickable.

I Cannot Go to Certain Comunity Lots in Old Town
I was playing The Sims 1 Legacy Collection and I found a really anoying bug. When I choose "Explore Old Town" from a Phone, It opens the map so I can select where I want to go. But for some reason, half of the screen cannot be selectable (bellow in red is the area in which the mouse don't), so I can't go to those places. Even the buttos above like the food and recreacional areas don't work. Also, there is this graphical bug where a large blue square appears behind the map. When I go to the City or the Travel/Holiday place, this blue square also appear, but every lot is selectable normaly (Studio Town and Magic Town works perfectly and don't have this blue square).Solvedandre3223793 days agoSeasoned Newcomer21Views0likes2Comments
Sims 1 Legacy Bundle - Houses invisible
I already made sure my graphics drivers are up to date but all houses I try to play in show up invisible. The Sims 2 Legacy game seems to be running fine. Has anyone found a fix for this? I have an HP laptop that’s running Windows 11 with an Intel (R) UHD 620 Graphics card. This is what gameplay looks like for me:Solvedstina444 days agoRising Novice165Views1like5Comments
Sims 1 legacy stuck at vacation load
Hi there I've been trying to get my sims legacy to work. I had problems from the get go. Had to update my microsoft visual drivers 64 and 86, uninstalled the old ones. I installed the game and reinstalled, I run it as admin. I usually have to cut to desktop exit the Sims and then open it again and it works. Well to a point. I've loaded unleased, superstar and hot date and it lets me make a family and go to the other lots except for downtown . Anytime I open downtown or try to click any home lots it tried to download the vacation pack and it freezes. I've tried many times And it gets stuck there every time. Any ideas??Solvedthedoremegirl4 days agoSeasoned Newcomer73Views0likes1Comment
The Sims 1 won't play in any resolution other than native.
So, i bought the sims 1 legacy collection on origin/the ea app, but when i opened the game the neighborhood map was ridiculously small and cropped, the ui was tiny, and the game was way too zoomed out for my liking. There wasn't any way to change the games resolution and alt + enter did nothing, despite people saying it changes the resolution, so i decided to change my computers overall resolution temporarily while i play. But when i did that and opened the game, as soon as i enter a family the screen starts flickering black and it continues to do so until i either quit the game, or go in windowed mode. Normally I'd just play in windowed mode and not really care but in windowed mode it doesn't fully fit on the screen (because of an annoying border at the top) and part of the UI is cut off and i can't see the bottom 2 needs. Does anyone have any advice? I posted this in 3 different subreddits and nobody even replied. Please help.Solvedabc368900145 days agoRising Novice212Views2likes4CommentsSims Birthday Bundle - Sims 1 missing sounds
I was finally able to get the game up and running with one of the solutions posted in the forum and the game itself runs just fine. Able to create sims, do the tutorial, travel, save, etc. BUT! Now there appears to be missing sounds in game. Music plays anywhere its applicable, in build/buy mode and radios. But there are no sounds from the Sims themselves or other objects tv/toilet/phone/etc. So the voices and sound effects are missing. I noticed that some random pets that wandered onto my lot had sounds though. I have repaired and tried uninstalling/reinstalling the game but there were no changes. This is the only game I am having issues with sound so I know its not an issue with my speakers. And I've triple checked the sound options in game as well, there should be sound but there isn't. Not sure if its needed but I attached dxdiag.Solvedschmidty3565 days agoRising Novice55Views0likes2Comments
The Sims 1 Legacy
Where is the saved games location of The Sims 1 Legacy? How can I restore my old games? I tried to put my saved old houses in UserData location as it was and it doesn't work. They don't appear.

Sims 1 Legacy; Empty World + Crash in CAS
For starters; I am playing this through Steam and not the EA app. My main issue is that while my game starts up just fine and when it opens up to the map view, all the lots are empty. This includes all the expansion towns as well. When I click on CAS/Create-A-Family, my game crashes.

Sims 1 Legacy crash after showing loading screen
I bought The Sims 1 Legacy yesterday and it worked the first time I opened it. Played a bit and made a few changes in the neighbourhood to write about differences online, then decided to reinstall it so I get a fresh neighbourhood to start some actual gaming... ... Except now every time I open the game, it runs, shows The Sims logo with loading texts on the bottom of the screen, and then when it is meant to show the neighbourhood section it just crashes without any information. What should I do now? I don't want a refund but I will have to do that if I cannot make the game run before the 24 hours pass.SolvedCastigavi7 days agoNew Rookie222Views0likes1CommentThe Sims 1 Backups Aren't Loading
