When EA can fix the newer generations CPU problem of the Sims Medieval???
I heard the same problem of the Sims 3 has been fixed, wonderful! But when for the Sims Medieval? And here is a problem, the truth is I never played it since 12th gen CPU came out (was busy at fighting certain virus), and I didn't know this game has this problem, yet I recommended my friend to buy legit version on EA and try it, sadly he is using 13rd gen CPU (I use 14th gen CPU). So now, he is angry because the store page of the Sims Medieval doesn't warn potential buyers that this game has this problem, and now he can't refund it (I personally never refunded games on Origin and EA APP, I don't know rules and details), so, can I take it as formal organised fraud via internet platform virtual products? (currently registered by local police, no matter the result, all personal legal rights reserved) I have found some walkaround online, well, here is the result: 1. There is a patch that similar to the one of the Sims 3, I tried, not working. 2. There is a method that using only one CPU for EA APP, the Sims Medieval can launch up yet the performance of the Sims Medieval launched under this method runs poorly, uninterrupted lag (short-fast frozen) happened, worse than my old computer with 9th gen CPU. Plus, I somehow don't really trust those walkarounds, sounds like temporary plan. Please, if you want to reply anything big-mouth like "then why don't you play on your old computer", "buy a computer with 11th gen CPU", "why those workaround worked on others not you, so it's your problem", save your time, your mother carried you for nine months not for you speaking like this (sorry for this comment, I had enough on other certain platforms). For serious replies, thank you for your caring and waiting for your valuable answers, no matter you are a community volunteer or staff of EA. Thank you.Solved92Views0likes1Comment
Sims Stories On EA App
Hi, I have disc copies for the three Sims Stories games - Life Stories, Pet Stories and Castaway Stories. I want to install these games and play them again but my laptop does not have a disc drive. Is there a way I can get digital versions of these games added to my EA App account so I can download them and play straight from my library? I attached a picture as proof that I own physical copies of the games. ThanksSolved116Views0likes1Comment
The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection Uninstalled Itself
Hey i have The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection on the ea app that i got from origin years ago since i had the sims 2 on disc before but couldn't get it to run so support gave me Ultimate Collection when i asked for help. Using the fixes in these videos, I got it to run beautifully on windows 10; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFBC4KY3fbY , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP-KckVVjOg&t=9s , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4BNcHyRrwc&t=14s . Just in case anyone wants help with getting the Sims 2 to work on Windows 10. It was working fine for days, but then one day I loaded up my PC and the Sims 2 icon was missing from my desktop, the game wasnt showing up when i searched for it and according to Ea i didnt have it installed anymore. I checked my documents/ea games and checked program files/ea games and everything was still installed. The actual install had not been uninstalled, just the icon which made my PC and origin believe it was no longer installed. I still have no clue what could have caused this. I tried "installing" it again on the ea app but it kept getting to 99% immediately (since all the files were still installed and it recognize that) and then saying it didnt have permission and pausing the download. I then shut down and restarted the PC, tried again, same result. I even tried screwing with the permissions on the files and the ea app, nothing. I also downloaded a steam game to confirm I could download other games to my :C drive still. I was on the verge of tears, because the Sims 2 I had fought so hard to be able to play on my custom built Windows 10 Gaming PC, had seemingly been stolen from me for good. Finally, as a last resort I got the idea to do a system restore to an auto restore point that windows made the day before, when the Sims 2 was installed and working correctly. After restoring, I tried installed the Sims 2 again, it immediately worked and my game was restored with all my data intact, using the same files that were never deleted. Though I did have to redo SOME of the fixes from the videos I linked because some of them were done through the actual icon/app itself and some were about editing the graphicsrules.sgr file which got reset upon me attempting to restart the game when it finally "downloaded" again, as if I didn't clearly have it installed still. My point here is that this was an incredibly terrifying experience and now I can't restart my PC without fearing my beloved Sims 2 will have been taken from me again, and perhaps this time I won't be lucky enough to fix the glitch and restore the icon. Literal definition of "new fear unlocked." So if anyone has any idea on what the hell happened here and what I can do, if anything, to prevent this from happening again, or if EA could perhaps ensure this doesn't happen again in the next EA app update, and not just to Sims 2 but all Sims games as I saw some articles on here talking about Sims 4 apparently uninstalling itself for someone else. Would love to hear anyone's educated guesses on what exactly happened and what exactly can be done to ensure this doesn't happen again. I dont want to hold my breath everytime I load up my desktop.Solved163Views0likes2CommentsPC Releases for Future MySims Games
With the recent release of the MySims Cozy Bundle for Nintendo Switch, will future releases in the MySims series be exclusive to Nintendo consoles, or will they be released on other platforms, such as Microsoft Windows (PC), as well? I own both a PC and a Switch, so I am happy to buy future MySims games either way, but I do prefer the flexibility that PC gaming has (including the ability to mod) and would absolutely love to continue having that flexibility.Solvedcraleigh3182 months agoSeasoned Newcomer315Views0likes1CommentMoney mak8ng suggedtion
Business is all about making money. The best money ideas require the least investment possible. Here you go...... Remaster 2 iconic games in the same series. Remaster them for consoles PS5 etc and PC. 1. Sims Urbz 2. Sims 2 Castaways. Both games were a huge hit when they were introduced. Both games were iconic in their day. Both games are still loved today. However, updated consoles prevents the games from being run now. Retro is awesome, people love it. The games were fanominal people loved them. Younger generations discovering the older games will be a huge hit. You can't beat low investment for high gains...Solved314Views0likes1Comment
Where have the old (now Read Only) forums gone?
Have been trying to find a link to the old Sims forums site (to link an old story thread to a new one), but when I type in the address I had for it into my search, it now only brings up the new forums site. Have tried typing everything I can think of that used to bring up the link, but nothing is bringing up the old forums. Has the old forum site been deleted? I understood that it was going to remain online but just as 'read only.' It would have been nice to just be able to look back on it as an archive. Just wondered if anyone else is having the same trouble? (Also why have most of the avatars turned into silhouettes?)SolvedWhatCobblers5 months agoSeasoned Ace136Views2likes5CommentsThe Sims Medieval won't download, please help
I bought The Sims Medieval recently, and I've been trying to install it on the EA app for the last two days. It starts downloading normally, but everytime the installation reaches 100%, it restarts, without any messages. I searched the internet far and wide for a solution, reinstalled the app, updated my Windows, cleared the app's catche, closed all background programs, deleted all game files, but nothing works. I tried talking to the EA Help chat, but it doesn't work, every time when I fill out the questionaire it redirects me back to the starting page. Please, does anyone have any idea how to fix it? I don't know what to do anymore.Solvedvecr4th5 months agoSeasoned Newcomer106Views0likes2Comments
The Sims Medieval Refusing to Download on Mac
I'm so fed up. The EA website stated that the game was playable on Mac, but only when it was downloaded onto the EA app, it claimed it could only be run on Windows. I spent half an hour on the live chat being provided "advice" that was irrelevant to my problems, though I followed it all anyway, just to be told this was a consistent problem? After all of that, they refused my refund request, despite the refund guarantee. Is there anyway to play this game on Mac? I'm a student, and I don't have money to waste on unplayable games. Thanks for any advice.Solved877Views0likes4CommentsLaunching The Sims 2 UC forces me to activate (with Origin i think)
Hi all, Sorry for (perhaps) asking obvious questions here.. I've had Sims 2 UC in my EA account for years, and still visibile in the app. I can login to the EA without any issues, and installing the game. However, when I launch it, an origin window pops up, asking me to active the game by entering username and password. Of couse, my EA credentials doesnt work. When contacting support, they just say that the registration servers are shutdown (since 2018), and that I only can play offline with original discs.
