Running Sims 1 Re-Release on Parallels

Question

Hey everyone! I've got a paid version of Parallels for macOS I use to emulate Windows 11. The recently re-released Sims 2 collection boots just fine, but The Sims 1 provides the error message "The game was unable to find a suitable Vulkan device on this machine." I'm posting this because I feel like the emulation is part of the problem. Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you get around it? For reference, here are my laptop's specs:

16-inch Nov 2024 MacBook Pro

Chip: Apple M4 Max

Memory: 48 GB

macOS: Sequoia 15.3.1
