Today the long-rumored and long-awaited release of Sims 1 and 2 has come out under the nickname "Legacy Collection"

It seems like everyone outside of Simsecret is so excited that they're even completely ignoring the problems that The Sims 2 Legacy Collection has brought:
(Clarification: The following is not mine, it is information that I just found, I am just republishing it)

* Missing IKEA pack (However I just found someone who solved this problem: https://github.com/hiloyt/the-sims-2-legacy-ikea)
* Missing licensed music
* Game keeps crashing
* Body Shop is nowhere to be found
* Some sounds sound even worse than in the original
* RPC launcher is broken, and some other mods seem to be broken as well (I don't know which ones exactly, I haven't seen a list listing them)
* It seems that the game does not use more RAM as promised in its technical specifications.
* Pink flashing and other issues still happening
* EA has stolen Nopke’s Shadow Fix
* There are several issues related to the DirectX 9 installation error
* The re-release includes the infamous Denuvo and I think sims 1 has it too (https://i.postimg.cc/Yqk4kNg1/20250131-170708.png)

That depends on you if you want to buy them or not, for my part I will continue using the pirated version of Complete Collection and Ultimate Collection that I have had since 2022 and 2021 respectively since everything I found about it is not very flattering, let's say.

(And it seems to me that The Sims 1 also have problems, but I have not found a post that compiles them)

I was hoping he would do the rereleases but after reading the reviews on steam, I think I'll stick with what I've got. Both games run without issue in Win7 anyway.

WHERE'S IKEA????

[(Anonymous)]

Should Trump drone bomb every IKEA store on USA soil until they relent and allow EA to resell The Sims 2: Ikea Home Stuff pack?

Should the US put 100% tariffs on Swedish goods despite H&M allowing the inclusion of their pack?

Should the US launch an invasion and take everything north of latitude 50°?

Should Russia be baited into launching a nuke into the North Sea like our glorious leaders planned in the late '50s and kill two birds with one stone?

Should we let Swedes die from fish starvation so the threat of future diabetes-inducing Swedish exports like Max Martin and ABBA are euthanized?

And you're an ableist and I say this as I (and anyone with basic intelligence) know only ableists are stupid enough to think they sound clever when they use the word "autism" as an insult.

How to run TS3 without performance issues
Have a CPU with high IPC, high clock speeds and good decompression performance (literally Ryzen since the AM4 3000 series)
Run the game from a fast NVMe drive
Have a midrange or better GPU made in the last fifteen years
Edit the config files so that your CPU is recognised as being "uber"
Edit the config files to recognise your GPU
NRass, smooth patch and other fan made solutions are optional unless you have a recent Intel CPU.

Re: 06

[(Anonymous)]

Forgot to mention, limit the FPS in the config files to 30 or 60.

[(Anonymous)]

Good News. Some of the BioWare staff that worked on Dragon Age were placed in other EA studios instead of being fired but Maxis wasn't one of those studios.

This is for the anon who wanted to play sims on a portable basis

The Sims 2 & Anadius

Anadius added to its website the option to download The Sims 2 in an illegitimate, pirate, morally correct (?) way

(This includes the IKEA pack)

[(Anonymous)]

Well... the re-release of The Sims 1 & 2 is now available for pirate download, does anyone want to try them out and see how broken they are?

[(Anonymous)]

no thanks

ea put more effort into this video than they have put into ts4 in the past year

[(Anonymous)]

Advertising is their strong point, why do you think the sims 4 have managed to sell quite well?

[(Anonymous)]

2. 5 kits and rereleases of TS1 and TS2. Definitely they are making easy money on The Sims this month.
3. They don't care. They just want to market the new stuff in whatever way they think will be the most popular with the general audience. The people who look at The Sims Wiki and pay attention are in the minority.
4. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be more than happy to sell you all kinds of shit next week.
5. Truth.
12. LGR is a gem.

[(Anonymous)]

I already own the real sims 2 and sims 1
I will never purchase some stupid fucked up version of it being resold to people
it's really sad and pathetic that people are going to fall for this and spend money on it

[(Anonymous)]

bruh fucking pinch me I did not just see someone defend EA by saying they don't want to install Linux or use fucking SPREADSHEETS to run the game. As if that shit is REQUIRED.

A small correction: Legacy Collection does not include Denuvo (I think)

[(Anonymous)]

https://www.reddit.com/r/sims2/comments/1iemzvv/update_ea_have_now_removed_the_false_denuvo/#lightbox

The Legacy Collection version of The Sims 1 and 2 does not include Denuvo, I just noticed that it is no longer listed on the Steam page for those games.

"...Note: the re-release does *not* contain Denuvo, a pretty notorious DRM which has been known to have negative performance impacts on games. It was incorrectly listed on the Steam page for the game, which is why you may see people mentioning it, however, none of The Sims series games use Denuvo and the Steam page has been updated to reflect that now..."

(https://www.reddit.com/r/sims2help/comments/1iejm3i/the_sims_2_rerelease_legacy_collection_faq/)

But still the other problems that I had already mentioned yesterday still persist xd

Re: A small correction: Legacy Collection does not include Denuvo (I think)

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, i thought it wasn't reasonable for them to add denuvo. it costs money to add that drm to the game.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, little friends... tomorrow will be another day, let's see how the whole Legacy Collection thing evolves (or de-evolves)

[(Anonymous)]

it's so funny to see all the comments on youtube twitter reddit saying "thank you! the fanbase have been asking for this for years!" lol they're apparently totally unaware of the actual fanbase of people who actually play the game
how can such a schism exist?

[(Anonymous)]

There's a huge difference between the hardcore fan base and casuals. Some of the people buying the rerelease probably haven't thought about sims games in years. It also doesn't help that the biggest hub of the TS2 community exists on a dying blog platform.

TS1 - updated emulator (should fix the bind error), added launcher (for changing language and installing redists). For now as a separate download, will add to the main archive ASAP.

Nice of him to add the missing songs back in, he should see if the original IKEA would work with this version as well.
