Legacy works awesome on Windows 11
Just needed to say, my original Sims 2 crashed constantly on Win 10, had to do all these stupid graphic tweaks but crashed a ton regardless. Been playing The Sims since Sims 1 thru 4 but stuck with Sims 2. Then i upgraded to Win 11 and Legacy plays beautifully!! THANK YOU EA for working on all of the initial launching issues. I am able to play my original Saves with tons of CC and Mods!!
Sims 2 LC - Packaged Lots cannot be installed + Missing Body Shop
Hi there, I’m just wanting to ask if we can get Body Shop back for the Legacy Collection, as well as the Package Installer, as regarding Sims2Pack files, the ones the game generates if you package a lot to a file, you cannot install it as the Package Installer is required to do so, and since it doesn’t appear to be included, you cannot install any lots created in-game, by yourself or other players, and the only way to do it atm is to copy the Package Installer from the Ultimate Collection, or physical copies from discs. I also would like the Body Shop to return, as you cannot create Sims and package them in-game like you can with The Sims 3, and this also means you cannot create your own custom content, since the tool let you copy other clothing items and make edits to the textures and such. Please add these programs back into the Legacy Collections, it’s frustrating that they‘re not present in this version when they’ve been a feature in the original base game, and up to Ultimate Collection… :(
EA App Removing Sims 2 and The Sims
Is anyone else having issues with the EA App and them completely removing the Sims 2 Legacy packs and the original Sims? I have added a screenshot of what EA says. I paid money for this. I'm upset. I can't find anything online about them removing them. The only platform I can play is on Steam but i would have to buy everything all over again. Can anyone provide some insight on what to do or what is happening? #EAApp
Force Max FPS to 60?
I've noticed when I have the camera locked to a sim as they move around it's very jittery compared to how smooth it used to be. I checked the in-game FPS and it's all over the place mostly in the 200s. I attempted to fix this within Nvidia Control Panel and setting Max Frame Rate to 60, but the game is not enforcing this. Also the Refresh Rate box in-game is empty and the game is stuck in borderless windowed. Even if I alt enter it then goes to regular windowed mode, but Refresh Rate is still empty. Is there anyway to force the Max Frame Rate?
Error with Neighborhood Stories
I noticed The Belladonna Cove only generates 6 pages in Legacy Collection: Belladonna Cove should have 12 pages as per the Disc/Ultimate version: Furthermore, the Riverblossom Hills Neighborhood Story is broken in the Legacy Collection: Appreciate it if we could fix this issue. Have a nice day! :)Sims 2 Castaway
Hey yall! Just wondering if anyone has ever played The Sims 2 Castaway on Ps2, Wii, or GB?? To me that was an amazing spin-off and would love to see a reboot or even an DLC to The Sims 4! Devs/Publishers is there anything in the making or can we please get it added to Steam! I always find myself looking on steam hoping either the old or a new The Sims 2 Castaway will be on there or will be in the makings! Please let us know!!
Creating a large city / megalopolis in The Sims 2 Legacy?
Hello everyone, I'm completely captivated by The Sims 2, which seems to be the only game in the series that offers total creative freedom. I create my own maps (using SimCity 4), arranging the roads however I want, then placing lots, houses, and buildings as I please, without any limits. You can even control the seasons to create different climates (for example, a city with snow all year round), you can build 15-story buildings, and so on. This game is incredibly rich (and I'm not just saying that to advertise 😄). The possibilities for creation and expansion seem endless, especially since the Sims 2 Legacy remaster, where I find the loading times much faster than before. So, my question is: how far can the game go in terms of capabilities? How many buildings can you build in a neighborhood before the game crashes (or slows down significantly)? Does the amount of RAM on a PC really impact the game's performance? Faced with these questions, I'm trying to embark on a large-scale project: creating a megalopolis, the biggest one possible. I've created a map with many narrow roads to fit as many buildings as possible. I've already created about twenty 10-story apartment buildings, which I'll then duplicate to create the largest city I can. I'm also using some "decorative buildings" to give the city a very modern look. So far, with my twenty or so buildings, everything is running smoothly; I haven't experienced any noticeable slowdowns. But to best achieve my goal, I have a question: I currently own two PCs: one with 16 GB of RAM, and the other with 32 GB of RAM. For now, I've installed The Sims 2 Legacy (via Steam) on my computer with 16 GB of RAM. But I'm hesitant to reinstall it on my 32GB PC. Will upgrading from 16GB to 32GB of RAM improve the game's performance for building a large city? I've already looked for answers on forums, and I have to say the opinions seem divided. Some say a powerful PC will improve the gaming experience, while others say that The Sims 2 Legacy has its own internal limit (which is much lower), so upgrading from 16GB to 32GB of RAM won't make a difference. What's your opinion on this? To build the largest possible megalopolis, is it worthwhile installing the game on a PC with 32GB of RAM, or is it pointless? Has anyone tried building a huge city this way in the Sims 2 Legacy, on a gaming PC? What was the result? Were you able to achieve a satisfactory result, or did the game crash quickly? Do you have any tips to share on how to achieve this? Thank you so much! Have a wonderful evening everyone! 🙂 (I sorry, English is not my native language. I initially placed this message in the French forum, but the French side is not active... so I'm trying to post it here also. Thank you so much!)
