Sims 1 Low FPS

Game runs at sub 20fps with more than 1 sim on screen on a computer with powerful modern hardware. Anyone noticed?

    This still hasn't been fixed, hoping enough talk on the forums to get an official update or acknowledgment that they're working on it

    Can anyone test if this issue is fixed with February 6th update?

    Still happens with today's update, so it is not fixed.

    Whats worrying is that the patch notes don't mention the AMD issue at all:

    There are some hardware configurations that we are seeing a disproportionate number of errors on and are actively investigating. Systems based on Intel ARC GPUs, Snapdragon laptops with Qualcomm Adreno X1-85 GPU, NVIDIA T600 GPU laptops are being investigated

    I wish it was acknowledged because a lot of people seem to be having this issue... I want to repurchase the game but not in this state. Why is a 25 year old game lagging...

    Its works out of the box. No any commands No any custom proton version 

    Try to use different proton for Sims 1

    I have an AMD 7600 XT and AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D I also have low fps :/

    I hope it will be corrected

  • (Patch 12.02.2025) The performance is still abysmal when there are multiple sims in view. Please find a way to fix or acknowledge it.
