The Sims 1 Legacy: Launch/Visual/Gameplay Issues
Hello.
I want to report a few bugs I found on The Sims 1 Legacy. I am playing the EA App-Version of the game.
LAUNCH
- When I start the game I can't see the EA Logo but I hear it being played. However it doesn't progress to the loading screen until I ALT + TAB out of the game and back in. Even the loading screen is shown as a black screen but I can hear the music of it. After waiting a while it then goes into the neighborhood screen and from then on I can see the whole game again.
VISUAL
- The neighborhood screen is not scaled to fullscreen. It is basically a small window within a huge black box. This also counts for thevariation of said screen, when choosing a community lot to travel to.
- When travelling to community lots, the picture of the travel screen is not properly scaled horizontally. You can see the game change lots behind the picture.
GAMEPLAY
- On my first days with my own sims family I had no issues with this but on subsequent days I noticed that the event camera for the "El Bandito" Danger-Event disappears as quick as it appears.
- On the topic of danger events, I sometimes hear the danger tune while my sims are sleeping but nothing is actually happening.
- I can't get the game to play in borderless windowed mode. I tried using the -w and -r2560x1440 command through EA App but it doesn't work.

These are all I have found so far. It would be most appreciated if you'd look into this for the next patch.
If anyone has tips for workarounding these issues, I would appreciate you telling me.
In case you are wondering. I am playing this game on a 3440x1440p monitor, with the screen resolution scaled down to 2560x1440p in Windows.
