    Your video card is integrated into your CPU which is an Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120.

    It was released in 2011 and does not support Vulkan, which is the graphics API they chose.

    Sadly, the Sims Legacy Collection is not compatible with your computer since it doesn't meet the minimum requirements.

    Do note that TS2 Legacy Collection does not use Vulkan and will probably run fine.
