Sims 1 legacy crash
Hey guys, I just bought sims 1 legacy off of steam for the nostalgia but when I try to load it a little tab in my windows bar opens and instantly shuts again and that's all that happens. I looked on reddit for answers and they got me to download the old 64 and 86 copys of c++ and to change my compatability to windows xp. I did all these things and now when i load as administer it almost loads up (screen goes black, pixels get blown up to adjust to the old style and then it shuts down again. Now I cant edit the compatability setting and I cant get any further. Why would someone sell a game on steam that doesn't work. This is a big company. Can someone help me make a game just play please. Shouldn't have to get techy to play a game on steam. Might as well of pirated it at this point.

move_objects on doesn't work
I'm playing the current updated version of the sims 1 that came out on EA app on pc, i think its called the legacy version? no mods or cc trying to use the cheat 'move_objects on' and its not working. not able to place objects without getting the red conflicting space thing happening i want to do things like place the toy boxes flush with the wall, which looks better and still allows them to function. or literally just place anything in the home, everything has such an unnecessarily large footprint around it you can't place anything flush. it all just floats in the middle of the room. i remember playing the cd rom years ago and that cheat worked perfectly. if this was a glitch, fix it. if this was intentionally removed, why the hell would you do that? seriously with this company 🙄
Continued lag and UI scale issues with 1920x1080p
I posted about this same topic 8 MONTHS AGO!! EA have not done anything about this issue and hasn't bothered to reply to my post either. I have been waiting all this time and it's just not good enough, EA. To begin with there was the issue with the UI scale being way too small with the 1920X1080. Since the last update way back in April, this UI issue wasn't fixed and then after that update, it also caused my game to have a terrible jerky lag. It's NOT my laptop that's the issue. Apart from the UI being too small the game ran fine before that update. I actually ended up uninstalling the game way back in April and completely gave up. 2 days ago, I redownloaded and reinstalled the game to see whether EA might have fixed that issue. However, they have not. The issue is still persisting and not one person has bothered to respond and yes, I tried all the so-called new resolution settings you added in the game but that never worked either. It doesn't matter what I do, the game runs like trash. Works perfectly fine on my gaming PC but not on my gaming laptop with 1920X1080. Whatever update you did, it just made everything worse. I've tried all the advice about changing the resolution in Windows settings. It doesn't work! Besides, I shouldn't have to do that every time I want to play the game, and I definitely shouldn't have to buy a new laptop with a better resolution in order for it to work. This is from YOUR update. The game should just run and be playable. I am really quite frustrated with you now, EA. This isn't right. I have waited for a reply from you for 8 months now! I'm trying to be as respectful and patient as possible and you are not making this easy. Has anyone else with 1920x1080, experiencing this problem still or have you seen any improvements at all?? Has EA even replied to you? NOT HAPPY!
Sims 1 Wont Launch: Crashes on Opening Screen
Hola! I had very few bugs with Sims 1 until the very last update. Ever since my game won't launch, only a few seconds after the opening screen appears it crashes so I was unable to access the game FOR MONTHS. I didn't pay for a game to have it as decor, I want to play it since my simming experience started with TS2 so I never had the chance to experience TS1. However, I repaired and reinstalled the game dozens of times and it still keeps crashing. I have tried everything and it just won't launch. If anyone has any suggestions, please don't hesitate. Thanks Kind regards

Hello! I recently updated my PC to have a RTX 5080 graphics card and AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D processor. It runs Windows 11 Pro. After reinstalling The Sims™ Legacy Collection, it fails to launch. Crashing immediately, without any error messages. The icon just flashes in the task bar. I have been looking through the forums and none of the suggestions have been able to help me resolve this issue. I have tried the following: Have the latest version of the game installed Installed the latest windows updates Updated my graphics card drivers Configured windows to launch the game in low power mode Tried launching the game in Windows XP compatibility mode - as administrator Tried reinstalling the Microsoft redistributables from 2015 and newer. Collected my DxDiag and Vulkan info logs Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
