The Sims: Legacy Collection – Bug Reports & Suggested Improvements

 

BUG 1 Thumbnails missing job/focus/school icons

BUG 2 The Picture-in-Picture window is missing a close button, and a sim pie menu head may appear on it when clicking on something in-game, check out the video in the attachments named PIP

BUG 3 The relationship panel lacks a button to scroll through sims, and the friend counter is grayed out, which differs from the original game

BUG 4 In the official "Maximus" family by Maxis, there is a graphical bug - a gray void in various places. I guess it's a pool/landscape bug? It looks okay in Build mode but breaks again in Live mode, check out the video in the attachments named MAXIMUS

BUG 5 Pools appear pixelated when zoomed out to 2x and 3x

BUG 6 There are graphical artifacts at the seams and walls of two-story buildings at 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 resolutions. Additionally, wall-mounted objects clip through walls at all resolutions

BUG 7 After the latest update, there seems to be a bug with the new UI background stretching - it doesn’t apply to the panel that appears when you grab an object, causing the tiles behind it to be partially visible

BUG 8 At resolutions higher than 1920x1080, the grass starts to resemble green linoleum, and the grid gains extra dots. Please keep both consistent across all resolutions, matching their appearance at 1920x1080, just like in the original game

BUG 9 Please restore the original sim thumbnails. Families from the base game have an original thumbnail style, while families from The Sims: Unleashed and new generated sims have different ones. Make the thumbnails consistent for all families, like in the original game, focusing on faces rather than hats and accessories. It's confusing when sims with hats have smaller heads in thumbnails compared to others

BUG 10 The 1920x1080 resolution differs from all others with a smaller UI and a more zoomed-out camera, also at resolutions higher than 1920x1080, the blue background in map mode is missing, and there is just blackness around the map

BUG 11 Unlike the original game, in The Sims: Legacy Collection, when a child uses the Age of Instant Charm, their thumbnail does not update even after re-entering the household. To fix it, you need to change the outfit in the wardrobe, check out the video in the attachments named AGE OF INSTANT to compare with The Sims: Complete Collection

  • For me a bug report: THE U.I in Sims 1 is small, and hard to see. Managable but hard to see.

    Two additional bugs from my "collection":

    • Very bad performance on AMD graphics cards, barely playable on community logs
    • Mysterious crashes that happens as soon as the burglar steals an item
    • (Partially?) broken transition screens when changing between "home" and a community lot
      • That one can be fixed by using FaithBeam's widescreen patcher, just create a set of files for 1280x720 and use the UIGraphics from there

     

    Suggestions:

    • Add an option to change the game resolution without having to change the Desktop resolution itself
    • Add support for bilinear filtering for the UI elemts and the (background) sprites instead of enforcing neirest-neighbor scaling
    • Add support for starting with all expensions disabled and then gradually "add" them (one-way operation since removing content afterwards is likely not possible)

    Hi there,

    As this report contains multiple bugs and we may already have active dedicated bug report threads opened, this thread has been closed.

    If there isn't an active thread dedicated to each of the bugs you're experiencing, please go ahead and create a new bug report, one per each individual bug after testing if the issues persist after removing any mods/cc. That way, we can track things easier and provide relevant information regarding the specific bug.
