The Sims 1 Legacy fails to work properly on AMD graphics cards

Me and a lot of people who have AMD GPU's are reporting MAJOR performance drops into the low 10's in frames when more than 3 Sims are on a lot, or more apparent in a Community lot, I hope this issue can get fixed because the game is unplayable in this state.

  • Same for me. Started the tutorial family. When a third sim appears on the screen or animals, then the games fps will drop to a very low rate. AMD Adrenalin Software shows me an average fps of 7.
    AMD Radeon RX7600

    Update: Seems to work fine, after updating Adrenalin and drivers to latest version

    Update 2: Nevermind... when ever a random sim walks around the property or particularly when moving to the citiy the fps will still drop horribly

    I have exactly the same problem, even if I change the scaling, as soon as sims are in the picture, the FPS collapses. Also AMD graphics card.
