Sims 2 Legacy Not Launching / Working

Just purchased Sims 2 Legacy and it won't launch. Screen resolution will change, but game doesn't open, cant tab into game, no evidence that game is running other than dramatic resolution change.  Please fix.

  • Please try running the game in windowed mode: Right-click on your Sims 2 icon and select Properties, at the end of the Target line add a space and type in "-w" without quotations, then save the changes.

    When I right click on the icon on my desktop - I get an error message when trying to add the -w

    I used to add this all the time when I played Sims 2, so not sure what's going wrong. I get the same message if I add it to the exe file in the TSBin

    Running Windows 11 if that makes a difference

    I caught my own mistake.  I wasn't leaving a space before the -w   

    Posting in hopes that it helps someone else
