MySims Kingdom Unplayable on Steam Deck
Hi there, just reporting this here so people are aware, Kingdom currently does NOT work on Steam Deck, as the game will crash when attempting to enter CAS, making the game unplayable. If there are any workarounds to this fix this issue, I’ll be sure to update this thread. :)
Audio and other Bugs/Changes
Been playing through a bit of both games and noticed some bugs or changes compared to the original Wii version of both games. MySims: Buildings that had two songs will play either one or the other on repeat instead of going back and forth. Unless intentional, building furniture or houses will play the same song on repeat instead of switching to the other 3-4 songs compared to Wii. The game frequently played the same single song even when starting another furniture project. Some flickering with the ground when building houses or furniture. When fishing, the bobber does not go under some bubbly areas. Happens about 1/5 times. When backing out of fishing, the player sim will automatically start fishing again, having to quit a second time. MySims Kingdom: Zones and menus that had multiple songs are missing the second or third song. The first song repeats when exiting and entering the area/menu or when the song loops. (Renee’s Visitor Center, Gino’s Pad, Dr. F Lab, Travel Log Menu, Outfit Selection on Boat) Sim voices in some cutscenes can be quieter compared to Wii version. Volume is normal during gameplay. Also, countdown in Rocket Reef cutscene is missing. Not sure what the terminology is or if this is what’s causing it but may have to do with the placement of the “microphone” during cutscenes. Verified it wasn’t my TV by sending video captures to another device. Videos attached to post. Buddy and Lyndsay can get stuck in some sections of Rocket Reef. This bug was in the Wii version too. Areas include the plateau near the mining wall and the rock steps near Tobor’s bridge. These are areas NPC sims normally can’t get to without jumping. Photos attached to post. Ambient sounds would stop for a brief second before looping. Few lag spikes when talking to sims but nothing game breaking, normally happens when the game is about to autosave. Not sure if everything here can be considered a bug like the music tracks stuff for both games, but I wanted to make sure. Still having a great time going through these games again, and I do like the new controls and reduced loading times.
NPC stuck in MySims Kingdom
I’m running into an issue where Vic is stuck in Rocket Reef. I’m pretty sure he needs to be able to move to trigger the next quest so I’m stuck from being able to make any progress in the game. Has anyone else encountered this issue or a similar one? Any solutions or help would be appreciated!

Stuck in Rocket Reef
I was almost finished with Rocket Reef and just completed the final task of building the rocket. But the game glitched when I kept adding to my rocket after it told me I completed the task (20 Rocket Essences) and skipped the cutscene for Vic going into space. I’ve talked to each character and they all say things like “wow! Can’t believe it worked” even though I didn’t see the launch they’re referring to. I cannot interact with the rocket to have it take me into space, either. Nothing triggers the completion of the island and unlocking of the next two islands…. I don’t know what to do. I restarted my game, and the switch. I have moved characters, checked my tasks (everything is completed sans the fishing task and the science scroll with the 8-balls) and even rebuilt the rocket 3 times :( what should I do to unlock the next two islands? At this point I don’t even care about Vic’s figurine task. I just want to progress the story :((
Mysims kingdom bugs
Start of the game when mining and chopping down trees the axe moved on its own and only stops when moving away and mining it doesn’t tell you if you found the right location. Even when mining in the right spot it will stop you for a few seconds and act like your still just tapping to find the right location instead of continuing to get essences
