Sims 1 Legacy Crashing After Select Create a Family

Hello,

First of all I don't get any vulkan error. My problem is that the game closes for the three reasons I wrote below. I tested something and I want to show you. My DxDiag and vulkaninfo reports are attached also. I bought this game from Steam. I installed a lot of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable things to solve (Maybe after I installed these kind of C++ library, I passed the grey loading screen and see the map).

Also you can see my hardware specs in DxDiag so I don't write anything about it here.

  1. After the grey loadingscreen the game closes suddenly and returns to desktop.Now %99 I can pass this and reach the map.
  2. When I want to click Create a Family menu the game crashes and returns to desktop.
  3. When I want to switch Downtown menu. The game crashes and returns to desktop.

Also what is 116?

When I want to switch another map I can, except Downtown. But there is no object on the map.

When I want to Create a Family in Magic Town View. The menu works. But I get an error.

 

If you require any further information, I will be happy to provide it.

    Go to:

    - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Sims Legacy Collection

    - Copy the folder named all "UserData" (Also UserData2,3,4 up to 8, those are the extra neighborhoods)

    -Paste all "UserData"(and UserData2,3,etc) in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Saved Games\Electronic Arts\The Sims 25

    WOW! This game needs a lot more updating. The UI, the crashes, etc. Amazing game otherwise! Hopefully these things can get ironed out

    Wanted to reply to say I'm experiencing exactly the same issues.

    First start-up crashes the game on the grey loading screen. Starting it again gets to the home screen with blank neighborhoods. I can click on any of them except Downtown, which crashes the game. I cannot click to create a new family, as it crashes the game. None of the crashes give pop-ups or error reports/numbers.

    I'm launching from Steam. I just installed it today and the patches are up-to-date. Computer and graphics card are up-to-date. Attached is my dxdiag.
