Please fix save issue and consider returning Life Stories + IKEA pack
Hello, dear Sims team,
First of all, thank you for bringing back The Sims 2. For many of us, this game is more than just nostalgia — it’s a piece of our childhood. The new Legacy Collection is a wonderful gift, but as a longtime player, I’d like to share a few suggestions and heartfelt requests.
Some technical issues still appear — for example, the installer window sometimes freezes or opens cropped, and the interface doesn’t scale properly on modern 2K/4K displays. It would be amazing if you could release a small patch to fix compatibility and improve stability.
Please consider bringing back the IKEA Home Stuff pack. It was one of the most beloved additions because of its realistic, minimalist furniture. Maybe renewed cooperation with IKEA would make that possible again.
Many fans would love to see The Sims 2: Life Stories re-released digitally, or as optional DLC for Legacy Collection. Those storylines were unique and very dear to players.
Also, there’s an issue with saved families not being preserved — after quitting the game, all progress disappears, even if you exit properly through the main menu. It seems the save system doesn’t always work correctly in Legacy Collection.
Possible fixes players have already tried:
Running the game as administrator
Creating the missing save folder manually in
Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 2 Legacy Collection\Saves
Installing the game outside Program Files (for example, C:\Games\Sims2Legacy)
Turning off OneDrive sync for “Documents”
Enabling compatibility mode for Windows XP (SP3)
For many players, The Sims 2 remains the most heartfelt and atmospheric part of the series. We sincerely hope the game continues to receive support and won’t just be treated as a museum piece.
Thank you for listening to your community and keeping this classic alive.
