Has anyone installed windows 11 yet and does Sims4 run on it ?. I'm downloading it now and am just wondering if my game will be ok.

Just a curious question, but why wouldn’t it run? An update doesn’t change your computers specs afaik.

No, it doesn't change the computer specs, but changes to an operating system can create conflicts - much like how when the game is patched, some mods won't run properly because something in the coding of the game changed how it interacts with the mod. Same with an OS - sometimes the OS coding will interact poorly with a game's coding and they just won't work together.

Luckily, so far in my experience with Sims 4 and Win11, they're working together just fine, unless Win11 is what's causing the icons for my control menu bar (where you enter build mode, go to manage worlds, open the gallery, change which level of the building you're in you're looking at and so on.) The last two times we've gotten a patch, the icons have changed, First, only the gallery icon changed, but now they're pretty much all screwed up and it's hard to tell which function is where sometimes. Has anyone else encountered this? Could that be Win11 or is it something people who are still on Win10 are encountering? Or is this just something weird that's specific to me?
