Hello!
I recently purchased The Sims 1 Legacy on Steam, but when I launch the game, I get this Vulkan error. After researching online, I found out that my Intel HD Graphics 4400 graphics card does not have Vulkan. How do I run The Sims 1?
Open your installed apps if your in win 10/11 look for an app that says opencl, opengl, and Vulkan and uninstall it that should let you launch the game. I also went in to the property's and changed the default to launch with winsxp service pack 3 so it is more stable
I don't have this app installed on my laptop.
I am trying to play Sims 1 in Parallels, a virtual engine, on an iMac M3, so I do not have Vulcan or any of the others mentioned. How do I get Sims 1 to play? Sims 2 plays with no problem.
This worked! thank you so much! I updated nvidia, uninstalled and reinstalled my V C++ redistributables, attempted to install Vulkan SDK (did nothing) and this finally worked for me.
Since this is a duplicate and the users have posted elsewhere, I'll lock it here.
