Performance Glitch In Sims 2 Legacy Collection

Sometimes the game would drop to 1 fps in live mode (the game runs fine when i enter build/buy mode or pause the game, but as soon as i go back to live mode it drops to 1 fps again). It happened to me every time a wolf pack leader would show up on the lot. Fix it please!

    Hi all,

    This was resolved in today's patch:

    • There are significant frames per second (FPS) drops in various scenarios including multiple Sims in Ultra Speed, various complex lots, camera panning, etc.


    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new post so we can continue to investigate. Thanks!

    I'm having the exact same issue. Build/buy, neighbourhood mode and everything is fine. The second I play in live mode my sim is moving slower than a snail

    HighKite Harleee95 Please run a DxDiag and attach it to your reply here. You may also attach your DESKTOP/LAPTOP-config-log.txt file from Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Legacy\Logs.

    Having some settings set to high, such as View Distance, may contribute to this, as well as playing in Fullscreen mode. As for the slowdown when the wolf spawned, the game tends to do that when spawning NPCs on lots, but it should return to normal performance soon after.

    I was actually able to fix this problem. I moved my family out of the house and moved them back in. After that the game ran fine.
