    Literally having the same problem. I've tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling so many times, as well as repairing the game in between with no success.

    Hello, a few days ago I bought the Sims Legacy Edition, the bundle that includes Sims 1 and 2, and it turns out I'm having this problem. It only happens to me in Sims 1. The other Sims  games I have work just fine.

    Freesync enabled? Gsync enabled? That could be why

    I got The Sims 1 Legacy and now I can't play it cause everytime I get into the game my screen starts to flicker, coming into the game and my PC Desktop. It keeps flashing and changing screens non-stop, from the game interface to my desktop screen, and vice versa. Could anyone who has faced this issue help me?

    I’ve been having this issue for 2 months now, still no help from EA other than them “putting in a ticket” because I messaged them twice about it
