Hey, fellow Sims 1 players! I wanted to share a solution I found for anyone experiencing constant crashes in The Sims 1.
After some troubleshooting, I discovered the crashes are specifically occurring when:
- The game is running at superspeed (3x)
- Simlish speech is enabled (crash logs show the error happens during sound execution)
The Fix: Sim-ply ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)disable Sim speech in the game options. The game should then run stable at superspeed without crashing. You can still keep other sound effects and music enabled - it's just the Simlish that needs to be turned off.
To disable Sim speech:
- Click the Options button in the game and select Sound settings
- Adjust the Speech slider all the way down
- Keep Music and F/X at whatever level you prefer
Hope this helps others who've run into these crashes!
Note: I have only tested this on the Legacy version of the game, not the original release. I can't confirm if this issue exists or if this fix works for the original version.
