Sims + Sims Packs not loading properly

Hello, I downloaded the sims and sims 2 when they went for sale last year. I just tries to launch the sims 1 for the first time yesterday and it isnt working. It keeps closing and flashing to my desktop every 3-5 seconds. Anyone have this issue or know how to fix it? Ive already tried hitting "repair" on the game and nothing

    I'm having this same issue!  It's really unplayable.  Please let me know if you have a solution!  I am not good at computers.  

  • ErinM123​  Please provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

    Hi it is a windows computer. I am not sure what that is but my sims 2 from the same purchase bundle works properly if that makes a difference 

  • Hey! What system do you have? Do you have a Vulkan compatible GPU? :)
