Help! Missing Sims 2 content
I've been playing sims2 Legacy fine and I've only played a couple of times but since January I've not been able to play at all. When I load the main menu there's missing pictures (see attachments) and neighbourhoods. When I click on the neighbourhoods there's no families or lots. I've also lost all previous families and lots I've made. I've tried the solution in a similar discussion Missing Neighborhoods | EA Forums - 12126924. But this didn't work I had to try and undo it as it messed my computer up a bit. I've tried repairing and reinstalling but its still the same. Tried contacting EA several times but I've had no response it's been over a month. I've been waiting for an game update or something but there hasn't been any.
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
Sims 2 Legacy Collection Crashing During Loading (steam)
a month ago i played just fine and saved after making a house. the next day it just wouldnt open up at all. crashes mainly after the intro or during "loading manic mansions." ive done everything i could. cleared the cache , ran as administrator , validated the files , took out my cc , let the neighborhoods file remake itself. nothing. if anyone has any other ideas please please please let me know . . my boyfriend recently bought me the game and i feel horrible that it just broke all of a sudden.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 Resetting Neighborhoods - "Templates" Folder?
Back in the day with the original The Sims 2, there used to be a Templates folder that had copies of the original Pleasantview, Strangetown, and Veronaville neighborhoods. If a player wanted to 'restart' a playthrough of these neighborhoods, all we had to do was copy the N001 template files into our neighborhood directory in the Sims 2 (overwriting the the existing neighborhood), and voila! Fresh start. I've been looking for the Template folder in my current install and am not seeing it. As I remember, it used to be installed in a completely different directory, but I'm afraid that the Legacy edition may not even HAVE it because I"ve searched both my main C drive as well as the Sims 2 stuff in Documents.
Sims 2 Legacy Windowed Mode
Hey guys. I bought Legacy version when it came up and it ran so beautifully. A few little hiccups but nothing too big. Then they started updating it. And then they updated it again, and now it is stuck in windowed mode and there's no way to change that. The UI is so small my old eyes simply can't read it and because it's forced into permanent windowed mode I can't change the resolution. I can do the alt+enter thing, but then it's in a windowed, window mode and although the UI is bigger I want it to be fullscreen. Now, when it's in this new windowed mode I can change the resolution, but that really doesn't matter when I can't make the whole thing be actually fullscreen. Has anyone come up with an actual fix for this? I'm really frustrated as I've waited almost a year for them to fix this and they haven't. Help would be great, it runs much faster than my Ultimate Collection, loading is quicker and the graphics are nice and smooth. Thanks.
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?Sims 2 legacy - suddenly crashing no error message
I have been playing my legagcy game without issue since october. Then suddenly yesterday, it randomly crashed with no error message. Yesterday, it was during game play. Today, it is whenever i try to go into any household. I can load to neighbourhood but not beyond. I do not have any new mods. I think my computer may have done some random update that I didn't approve. I am assuming it is due to this but I have no idea how to fix it. I tried chaptgpt but it has been beyond useless. Anyone have any ideas?
Sims 2 Legacy Crashing - No warning/explanation
I bought the Sims 2 Legacy as soon as it dropped and have been playing it since then with very, very few issues. I mean, the Sims 2 and crashing go hand in hand, but it was never a problem that made it unplayable. You play for hours, you make sure you save, and then once in a while the program must terminate ya know? What can ya do! However, about a month ago, my game started randomly crashing by literally just disappearing as I was playing. The screen would just go away to show my desktop as if I minimized it and that's that, no warning or explanation. This had happened a few times since I started playing in February of 2025, but it would be after hours of gameplay and then I'd just restart it and it would play fine again for a long time until it decided it had had enough and closed again and I took that as a sign that I needed to walk away anyway. Unfortunately, it has now started doing it within 20 minutes, then when I restart the game, it crashes again after 2-5 minutes. I just tried to play today after giving it a break for a week and it crashed within thirty seconds of me loading into a lot. Obviously this makes it unplayable which is genuinely devastating. I know that I'm not the only person who has brought this up or is having this type of issue, but I have tried some of the suggestions to no avail. Do you think uninstalling and reinstalling would help? I do have mods but I've never had issues with them before and I've had them installed since I started playing back in Feb of last year. Someone mentioned that CC furniture specifically could cause this issue? Idk but I'm at my wit's end and any help or advice or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
