Game crashing
Flagging my own gameplay issues, Sims 1 launches but after roughly 1 sim day or 5 mins of gameplay, on my laptop which is new and only has these legacy releases installed lags and then crashes forcin...
Forum Discussion
ASweetLullaby For the Sims 1 issue, please let me know whether there's any pattern to the crashing other than the time elapsed. For example, are you playing in a specific area or doing something in-game that you weren't at other times?
Please also provide a dxdiag. Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop. From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.
Please report the Sims 2 issue in that forum, preferably in an existing thread started after the patch. Here's one you can use:
The Sims 2 Legacy Direct3D Error | EA Forums - 11865572
A dxdiag would be helpful there too, as would a screenshot of the error.
Thank you for your response, I have attached the file you requested.
I've noticed my Sims 1 crashing most when there is a lot happening on the lot I'm on, even in my household that only has 1 sim in but with all the random cats and dogs roaming around could be a culprit as when I visit other lots, it's freezes. Most recently in downtown, crashed pretty much after my sim arrived on the lot.
My laptop is also brand new, like couple of days old new.
Will post the file you requested for Sims 2 in the forum you've suggested. Thanks Again!
