Sims 1 Legacy Edition crashing on launch

Every time I launch the game on Steam, I see the loading screen and rolling text at the bottom. A few seconds after this, the game crashes completely with no error message at all.

Any advice gratefully received - thanks!

    charlottebronson,

    I saw this fix over on the Steam community forums and it seems to work for most people whose game is crashing:

    1. Go to where you installed the game. If you don't know for certain, right click your game on steam, go to local files, then click on browse.
    2. Copy the folders :
    UserData
    UserData2
    UserData3
    UserData4
    UserData5
    UserData6
    Userdata7
    UserData8
    3. go to C: > Users > YOUR USERNAME> saved games > Electronic Arts > The Sims 25
    4. Paste the folders in here.

    Hope it works for you!
