Sims 1 won't work on older laptops?

I'm getting the " vulkan initialization failed" and with everything everyone suggested nothing works. At this point I'm just going to assume its just not compatible with my laptop, which is pretty unfair to us who can't afford newer laptops/pcs.

wondering if anyone one else is in the same boat ?

  • Zerosallys  I don't know how old your laptop is, but I do know that some models from 2017 are running the game because I've seen the dxdiags.  So unless your laptop is even older than that, it's probably compatible.  And the Vulkan error is happening on very new systems too.

    Having said that, please post in the master thread for this particular error, providing the info requested in the accepted solution:

    Since we already have the master thread, I'll lock this one here.
