Sims 1 not opening following 02/12 update

Still doesn't work with the new patch. I get the same Vulkan error message. I'm on Mac, and use Parallels to run Windows 11. Sims 2 still runs fine.

 

This is getting ridiculous honestly. I think I'm going to ask for a refund at this point...

    Same issue. nothings changed on either my desktop or my laptop. Still can't play TS1LC :( 

  • Also wanted to mention since I don't see anyone else saying that before I get the Vulkan error, I get a pop up saying the game requires administrative permission even though I havve it set to run as admin in the properties. Not sure if this is a separate issue or if it's tied in.

    I still get the message too.  As far as I know, my drivers say they are up to date.  I am on Windows 10 and using the EA app.  I am not the best when it comes to computers so idk what other info is needed.  I have an AMD Radeon graphic card.  Sims 2, 3 and 4 all run fine on my computer.
