The Sims Legacy and Sims 2 Legacy

Question

I have a windows 10 alienware laptop. I bought the Sims legacy bundles on the EA App but have some issues.

Sims Legacy: I can't get my game into full screen mode. I've tried to do the alt + enter but that didn't work. Tried to do advance launch options but it still doesn't work, and the screen is still tiny.

Sims 2 Legacy: Whenever I try to launch the game it freezes and stops responding so I can't even play it. I did try to restart my laptop and repair the game but it still didn't work.

I'm having the same issues with TS2 Legacy. My whole computer freezes when I try to load it. I finally got TS1 Legacy to finally start by installing newer C++ drivers and changing compatibility mode to Windows XP SP3 and running as administrator.

I also have an Windows 10 Alienware laptop. For Sims 1 Legacy edition I have to change my resolution in my settings to 800/600 to make the screen larger. Its an older game so its easier to see on lower resolutions.

I am still having that same issue with the Sims 2. I have been messing around with my graphics options to see if that helps. I think the problem is its trying to run at a framerate that is not possible for an older game.

I do wish they would have completely remastered the games, as that is what is needed to run on newer PCs.
