  • aylinhnjs  In your first screenshot, click the little blue button in the lower-right corner of the Sims Legacy game tile.  Or hover your mouse over "Los Sims + Packs" on the left side, and you should see a Play button there.

    If the game won't launch when you click Play, please try reinstalling your 2015 and newer VC++ runtimes.  Open Windows Settings > Apps, scroll down to the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables, and uninstall everything from 2015 and newer. Don't touch the older versions.

    Download the x86 and x64 versions (not the ARM version) of the 2022 runtimes from Microsoft:

    Install the runtimes, restart your computer, and try again to play.
