Does EA Do Any Updates To Fix The Sims 2 Legacy?
No matter what I do, even in a completely vanilla game, meaning no mods, The Sims 2 Legacy, since I got it last year, crashes. Supposedly it had some patches done to fix things, at least the first few months of its release, but, it is still happening, it hasn't stopped. And I want to know if EA is actually even bothering with this game, even though they released it, as being updated to work with newer PC's and made us have to buy it again, to get these updates, have they bothered to keep up on it at all, or have they just abandoned it, even with people still buying the legacy one. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game, hoping that maybe there was some new update to fix what is making it crash out of the blue, but, it makes no difference at all. So I want to know if I'm wasting my time even coming here to try and get EA to fix this game that I paid for again, or if I should just uninstall it and never install it again. Now I know EA doesn't even interact with us on here, no one who makes The Sims does, so I figure I am wasting my time, just as I do when I report problems with TS4. I mean TS3 also still crashes, even though they were supposed to have updated some stuff with it too, which did make it able to work on my newer PC, since before it wouldn't play at all, but it too crashes, so not that big a deal. But since TS2 Legacy is like a new game, it being released last year, I would think they would be supporting it at least, along with The Sims 1, which oddly enough, I haven't had any problems with. So again, I want to know if they are still supporting Legacy, and if not, well, that tells me that I wasted my money last year buying it, and it shows just how bad EA is.136Views2likes4CommentsSecret Society not Triggering
The Sims 2 Legacy... So I have a Sim in Sim State University and they are not only friends 100 daily, but best friend 50+ lifetime with three Secret Society members, but have yet to be picked up by the limo and taken to the Secret Society hangout. This is not my first glitch with Sims in college. The first was when I was trying to move in a college Sim into the main neighborhood by my Sim inviting them to move in and the move in action wasn't fully completing. I fixed this with cheats, but what's going on that college is so broken for Legacy Edition? How can I fix the Secret Society glitch?56Views0likes1CommentPersonality Points Glitchy?
So I'm just now getting back into playing The Sims 2 and I've been playing the Legacy iteration of the game instead of Ultimate Collection due to it being better optimized. I have noticed some differences between Ultimate Collection and Legacy and don't know if these are known problems, fixable or just how it is now. One thing I noticed is the Personality Points being passed down from parent to child aren't lining up like they used it. You used to be able to see a child's Personality Points and trace them back to exactly which parent they got it from. For example if a child is very outgoing one of the parents must also be very outgoing as well and that's how the child inherited the Points. (sorry if I'm not explaining this well) With that said I started a new family to which they had a baby girl. When she aged to a child I looked at her Personality Points and all but one aren't aligning with the parents. She has 1 point grouchy when neither parent is grouchy...they are both nice. The same goes for her other Personality Points. None align with her parents. Child's Personality Points (the only thing that aligns is the Outgoing she inherited from her dad. Nothing else matches either parent) Dad's Personality Points Mom's Personality Points This doesn't seem like how it used to be. Is this a Legacy thing? Another thing I noticed is the first born baby glitch is fixed in Legacy without needing additional mods or fixes. Could that be contributing to this?111Views0likes1CommentGame stops Responding at Loading Menu?
Hi there! I have never had an issue with this game on my PC until now. I accepted a notification from Steam the other day to allow it to adjust the game or something of that nature. And now when I boot up the game, the loading menu will just stop responding every time. How do I correct this? Or have there been issues going on for a couple of months? I ask because I've taken a break to play Paralives recently. Thank you!43Views0likes0CommentsSims 2 won’t open fullscreen
My game has stopped working all of a sudden and won’t open anywhere besides my taskbar. I’ve tried all solutions including the ones listed on this site. What is happening and is anyone else experiencing this? I just want to play my game that I paid for.42Views0likes0CommentsPropose>Move in Glitching
I started my playable sim out in college to which she graduated. After college she begun a romantic relationship with one of her fellow college classmates. She invites him over to the lot and proposes to move in to which he ages into an adult and becomes apart of the family, but the action never fully completes as I cannot save the game and if I make them go to downtown it glitches where they both leave the lot and the lot continues to run instead of loading the community lot. Is this a known glitch? Do I need a mod?38Views0likes0CommentsDoes anyone remember the Sun shaped house lot??
Hi all! Does anyone remember the sun shaped house lot in the lots and houses bin when The Sims 2 was first released years ago?? I remember it well and loved moving my sims into it when I was little. I can't remember if it was released in The Sims 2 base game or one of the expansion packs like Seasons. However, it wasn't included in the new Sims 2 Legacy re-release. It was literally sun shaped with the rays coming out. I've tried googling it EVERYWHERE and I can't find even a picture of it. It's kind of driving me crazy lol. I KNOW it was definitely a thing. I can even see it in my mind. I wonder where I might be able to download it. I know I could always build one like it myself but it would be really cool if they included it in the re-release. Does anyone else remember this lot? Or is this some mandala effect because as I said, it's driving me crazy. I know it existed! Please let me know if you remember it too. Also if EA sees this can you confirm this? Thanks and happy Simming!184Views0likes6CommentsA completionist challenge for the Sims 2?
Hi. I was wondering if there's a completionist challenge and/or checklist for this game. I found a tracker for a pack legacy challenge but I'm looking for something that covers everything for the game. Found something like it for the Sims 3 and 4 and I'd like something similar for this game too. Alternatively I'm thinking about compiling a tracker for it if there's interest. And if someone wanted to lend me a hand then even better. Also if the pack legacy challenge indeed covers everything then please let me know so I won't work on something that's already been done. Also side note: lemme know your favorite challenges and if you know of a good save file tracker too let me know.40Views0likes0CommentsUnable to play Sims2 game
I recently purchased a new pc and downloaded the EA app to play my games. Mind you I tried previously to get help through the EA chat and its just not helping they way I was hoping for a resolution. At the moment it is this error I'm getting when I attempt to open up the game. States the following. The Sims tm 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff Failed to find any DirectX 9.0 compatible graphics adapters in this system! please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the lates drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate. Like I stated before, the agent was not much help with this and stated for me to post this. I'm not sure if this particular issue is happening to other players. Please help, I really want to be able to play my old games. My last computer is considered obsolete.Solved121Views0likes1Comment
