Anyone having trouble opening the Sims 1 and 2 from the EA app. Have not been able to get the Sims 1 open at all, but I did get the Sims 2 to open once, but now it crashes upon opening.
I am using Parallels on Mac, but from what I seen, that is not the issue.

I can launch Sims 1, but it crashes when I visit another lot. I can't even launch Sims 2. I have to restart my computer each time I try launching it. I'm running Windows 11.

Yes I am having the same issue with Sims 1, using parallels on Mac. Like you mentioned, that shouldn’t be an issue. I have the game installed, but it doesn’t launch.&nbsp;

Same, Sims 1 legacy edition does not launch, using EA app on Windows 11 through Parallels on MacBook Air M2. Same issue with trying the game on Steam app on Parallels.
