Sims 2 works perfectly, Sims 1 won't even launch

As the title explains, the Sims 2 works perfectly fine; it's quick, no bugs so far, everything works. 

However, I was looking forward the most to play Sims 1. Unfortunately, it won't even launch. It just opens the EA app when I try to play. I have read that more of you have this exact same issue. I have tried multiple of your suggestions for it to launch, without any luck. Do you have any tips or are you all waiting for EA to fix this bug?

  • Exact same issue. It's driving me crazy. Sims 2 launched just fine. But Sims same just opening the app and nothing. I've sent in 2/3 help requests already. I'm truly not a fan of having no real way to get help but through email. Especially for the money we spend on these games. But I've tried everything. Most people on Steam aren't having a problem getting it to open but having issues with it crashing while saving. Hopefully it is fixed soon

  • I have the same issue click play, ea app disappears as if it's loading ten ea app returns and no game? absolutely devastated was so excited to play sims 1 again and yet again EA launch something broken.
