Nearly 6 months later with multiple updates and it’s still bugged?

Honestly i get your frustrations! 

For me too the the game has been unplayable for months now since march i been having bugs too one of them was that the simulation wasn't working correctly for me and the Sims wouldn't follow any instructions i would give them and they would just play on a computer the whole time or paint or play the piano the whole time to the point they would die of starvation no matter what i tried to do to help them well i stopped playing the game after so the best thing we can do now is wait until they will wake up and fix the game ! 

so lets wait and hope for the best !

My game is fine. No bugs at all. So this sort of thing baffles me. How does one person's game work perfectly and another's not work at all? Did you try replacing the neighborhoods with fresh ones after the updates? Delete all the cache and thumbnails?

Feels like sims 2 legacy collection and the other editions, including the original release, is personlized because how the game behaves depending on your computer. But when it comes to Legacy Collection I haven't had any issues with it except for the no typing problem. So to see stuff like this being reported is interesting and also a bit funny since I am not experiencing any of it. The only suggestion I would have is to update your pc, reinstall your sims 2 LC, and update drivers.

I would love to try that, how do I delete cache and thumbnails? 

I managed to delete the cache files and uninstall, reinstall the game and still no luck. Same bugs 

I'm sorry. Sometimes that works.

Ugh, seriously. For me, it's that the UI is unreasonably small since the most recent update. Radio silence since then. I have been ignoring a game I PAID FOR and want to play because I shouldn't have to change my freaking computer settings to play the game, much less have the UI be reasonably visible. It's just ridiculpus and another reason why I'm so over EA and purchasing things from them (stopped buying TS4 packs years ago at this point), it's just money... It's so disappointing, this franchise used to be beautiful - particularly TS2, which is the unplayable one right now!!! :(

I feel you, my UI is also the same… and I can’t change the resolution at all because it’s greyed out :( 

Kalleh24680​ ConseraOfficial​ One of the patches changed fullscreen to a borderless windowed mode. I don't remember why they did it, I wasn't having any problems with my game's resolution. But anyway, have you tried the shortcut to make it toggle between regular windowed and borderless windowed? Alt+Enter. You can also force it into bordered windowed mode by (in the library view) clicking on the ... on Sims 2 and selecting view properties, then adding a -w to the advanced options field. Some players reported that after trying one of those, they were able to set resolution again.

UPDATE: 

i have managed to fix the bugs but had to completely delete all my sims files and re install everything! No bugs so far though and I can finally play the game properly!!
