Sims 1 Legacy won't load past the "Vacation" screen

My game loads just fine until I pick a house from the neighborhood view. Once I click on a household, the popup for the vacation pack comes up but will not load. The background soundtrack also stops playing. I installed today's patch, hoping it would fix the issue, but unfortunately, it did not.

  • thehabs11  If you've launched the game, the folder exists somewhere.  Please look in the default location I listed.  If you don't find it, you can search Windows for "The Sims 25" (without quotes).

    The UserData folder in "The Sims Legacy" is different.

    I also have that same issue. My Users folder is located on U:\ (not C:\) and there's no Saved Games folder to begin with; it hasn't created one yet. I have set the resolution to 3840x2160 for the 55" screen and Nvidia's drivers are up-to-date. I tried temporarily relocating Program Files\EA Games\The Sims Legacy\UserData folder elsewhere, but to no avail.

  • theatregeek459  Please go here:

    C:\Users\your username\Saved Games\Electronic Arts

    and move the "The Sims 25" folder to the desktop.  Then try again.  This will remove all your user data, if any exists, which would include any corruption there.

    If that doesn't help, 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.
