  • My wedding stories events not working ughhh #TheSims4
  • Everyone has been saying they’ve had issues w the sims 2 so currently pausing from rebirth to see if mine works teehee
  • @sarahrune_ Maybe you need some player made patches, since there haven’t been updates some players fixed it instead, Ik they did the same with the sims 3. I am curious where you got that though? Did you download it from a website or buy it from the company? With the sims issues are endless?
  • @Animal_5112 @sarahrune_ I don't recall asking if your game has crashed but thanks for sharing What I said was The Sims 2 is famous for corrupting saves extremely easily and anybody who claims to have been playing since 2004 should know that
  • @TheSims Please fix this issue of occult features disappearing after editing in CAS! #Sims4
  • The sims 2 was working so well for me yesterday and now it crashed for the first time today?

  • Not sure why everyone is having issues on the sims 2 mine works perfectly
  • the sims 1 re release not working is craaaaazzyyy work
  • The only bug I’ve ran into so far on the sims 2 rerelease is crashing when I changed the windows settings and the dine out system not working (but that’s normal for a sims game this is shade for sims 4 )
  • @Dinosaur_Kath Oh this one okay, well apparently the sims will release a fix for ts2, when tho idk but hopefully it will fix some of the issues you are encountering
  • Omg!! ? The Sims 1 doesn't work for me. I have Windows 11! Does anyone have the same issue, and does anyone know the fix???

  • I want to buy the Sims 1 + 2 bundle but it’s crashing/not working at all for what seems like most ppl so I want to wait for a patch but who knows if they will do any? Ugh. Just ugh ?
  • @camissilia @lowpolypancake It won't in modern systems. The Sims 2 uses DirectSound as API between the game and your sound card/chip. Since DirectSound doesn't exist anymore, the API will be emulated, leading to many, many issues.
  • The Sims 1 re-release doesn't work despite everything, so I just have to hope for an update to fix it
  • @truestorygrande @TheSims if you have a nvidia gpu it might need an update. some people seem to be having issues with opening the sims 1 because off it. it runs fine for me on a 40 series gpu a friend off mine is on a 30 series gpu and has some issues but has been able to open it.
  • @EAHelp help me when I load the sims 1 it loads then it just exits the game automatically what the problem the sims 2 loads perfectly
  • Are the Sims 1 and Sims 2 not working for other people too?
  • @alexa_kono98 @TheSimCommunity It won't for me either. Sims 2 crashed after I made a Sim and it has some graphical issues. The Sims 1 won't even launch at all.
  • Well, we had a grand few hours enjoying the sims 1 before it crashed. I took that as a sign and booted up sims 2, made a sim, bought a lot, and… crashed. Brought it back up, tried again, crashed again. @TheSimsDirect can Y’all advise on this? I can’t move a sim into a lot!
  • @pheemia @Crosimmer I heard the same, but it doesn't seem to be effecting all nvidia gpu's, a friend off mine uses a nvidia card had the same issue with the sims 1. I have a nividia card as well but the game booted up without issue (I did update the gpu before hand which might have helped)
  • the sims 2 doesn’t work for me… anyone else with this problem ? maybe an issue ?
  • @EAHelp hi i bought the sims 1 but i cannot even open the game. i don't get any errors it just don't open HELP PLEASE i read it's happening to many of us :(
  • @onlyabidoang I friend off mine fixed the issue by going off their gpu and running it through another graphics card. It might also help to update the gpu if people can, I know I have updated it during downloading the sims 1 and 2, it might be why I am not having issues. (2-2)
  • @SimneySpears Someone is playing it on the sims 2 modding server and it keeps crashing and having audio issues Also they removed some songs, no pink soup tho
  • @ZerbuTabek Interesting, thanks for sharing your experience! Have you been experiencing the Sims 1 crashing multiple times? Some are saying they can't even get it to start either (possibly DirectX 9.0 related).
  • So the Sims 2 rerelease is a disaster ?? I read a lot that it’s not working yikes
  • Can anybody actually order The Sims 1 bundle yet? I just get a 404 error
  • And finally D: The sims 1 is NOT MAC COMPATIBLE SO NO MAC ISNT A PC WINDOWS AND MAC ARE DIFFERENT OPERATING SYSTEMS
  • For sims people: I’ll share the 2 main pieces of cc that allowed me to recreate Midas in the sims. The body and hair were most important, the rest was just trial and error with random bits of cc and such
  • WHY IS NY SIMS4 GAMR NOT WORKING IMA KILLMY SELF HONESTLY
  • whyy does relationships keep resetting themselves in the sims 4 ? anyone had this problem before? #thesims4

  • @hollands118 haven’t played the sims since it froze when i was using the wickedwhims mod still traumatized
  • @EAHelp my game still not working, i open the sims on my mad and its all dark. Fix ts thank u
  • No shade to Sims 2, the devs did an incredible job considering they were using an engine that was never designed for such a complicated Life Sim (the Sims 1 engine) but the denial of any flaws or issues with the game despite countless reports all over the net is unhelpful.
  • THE SIMS FIXED THE OVERLAPPING FESTIVALS/ UNCLICKABLE OBJECTS GLITCH- WAR IS OVER ??
  • The EA App is pissing me off because wtf is happening? It's giving me an error code. Can't open the EA app or the sims 4.....HELLO?!?
  • there's a #thesims4 update today: they fixed the clutter problem in buy mode but no word on the dance glitch.
  • i'd be playing the sims if i wasn't too lazy to update and playing offline won't work ?
  • @shayasims yall tried to explain it but idk i just can’t do it when i position the sims perfectly then tab out and set the demimions it zooms in (i know it’s supposed to) but when i zoom out to try and get them in frame it looks weird
  • @traceyannereid Same. I went back to the Sims 3 on Xbox because it was super unreliable and now it’s so much better. The weather bug is annoying but nothing that can’t be fixed. Many of the issues couldn’t even be fixed by modders, they were so deep rooted.
  • When I load up #Sims4, I keep getting this error #msgamingoverlay. Does anyone know how to fix it?
  • @mads_version13 Maybe update or under maintenance (i have no clue, I don’t play the sims)
  • Dine out broken for anyone? #sims4 @TheSims
  • was working on a bookstore speakeasy in the sims until my game crashed out of nowhere…….i hadn’t saved once
  • @SelBriel Mine is also the sims 4 but at 3,276 hours. I may have a problem
  • im back on the sims since infinity nikki is under maintenance until TOMORROW ???
  • @Gen_Buhari_ Reset means Zero Grounds. you knew what you voted for now everyone is backing up from their errors since they begun smelling the sims.
  • I thought the @Sims4 fixed the problem where your trying to transfer your household money to your business ? It's still not working sooo, how can I open my business up with no money? Please fix this problem thanks
  • @hunbothered @myseasonreason I got side tracked building swamps and castles in the sims. Plus beading is an expensive hobby and I have magpie issues?
  • So my wicked whims stopped working bc I deleted a v38 file, and more columns won't work.. sims community HELP #Sims4 #Simmers
  • I was building a cafe in the sims and the game crashed and I somehow didn’t lose all my progress oh my god
  • @TheSims #sims4 #Sims4Cc Has anyone else had the issue I keep having ? Every time I apply cc to my sim it breaks the games interactions. My sims cannot talk to each other (especially interact with kids and toddlers) and cannot interact with objects.
  • I’ve notice a glitch in The Sims 3 since the update. My Sim will randomly disappear, like be invisible and then when I do the resetsim, they reset but it takes a minute for them to reset. Then when they do it cancels out the action for the other sim…….
  • @CharlyPancakes Hey you may be right! I guess I just leave a lot to human error with the sims since they are always messing something up. But, it’s okay to voice your opinion and be wary!
  • I think that it is what it is, just an update so that it works on newer systems. At least they're doing that for 3. It's a shame that they don't go back and sort out the Sims 2. People have problems running that game too.
  • What the heck happened to the sims 4 menu. It went from a little weird but functional to the most disorganised,unusable, offensively coloured and can’t be ultra wide.
  • Hearing concerning reports about the sims working off the forward tees, seems like spin rates are causing an issue. Hopefully will be resolved by next week!
  • Love the new sims 4 update, but it wont let me go into build mode into my game, anyone else have this problem? #Sims4 #sims
  • @bisousims I dunno why Sims 3 has so many issues, yet Sims Medieval runs fine, and it uses the Sims 3 engine!!!
  • the sims please give us time before announcing a same day update, i want to be able to deactivate my mods
  • GTA is just The Sims for boys with aggression issues.
  • Glitch after glitch. Sim lighting a fire several times over when it's already lit ? #sims4
  • i’ve been offline because i’ve been spending my time being severely addicted to the sims. I’m in the process of making the portalcule and the mystery shack like. portal era. but making the building properly has been a nightmare as a relatively new player yay
  • For the last 3 days I’ve just been torrenting my gonads off. The Sims Medieval is giving me problems.
  • @jackofallgames7 @hypeb0yy The Sims 3 is my favorite. Though it is buggy at times, it’s still worth it. Sims 4 is my second favorite.
  • Is anyone else having issues on sims4??
  • @ki_albe @TheSimsDirect I do not envy the sims team having to wade through all the bugs. They fix something and then something else breaks.

  • is there a mod to jump times in the sims? every time i put in the cheat code its not working xD

  • @DarkSimzzz @jackofallgames7 This is simply not true. The Sims 4 Bugs Forum on Answers has over 140k bug reports, thousands of which are reported and verified issues, without interference from mods or anything else.
  • Welp I have batchfixed my toddler presets and sliders and they are still broken ? anybody got recommendations? #TheSims4
  • @jackofallgames7 Totally agree! Sims can have a midlife crisis in the Sims 4, but it's not the same! I want health issues, body changes, menopause! Currently using the 2 greying hair sets and my imagination just isn't cutting it.
  • Cannot even participate on the sims cozy event bc i got no pop up window of it at all since December ?

  • I got the poll from EA about the sims and even that’s not working ??‍♀️

  • @jackofallgames7 @watchtheuggs I agree, and I definitely don’t think anyone should receive hate - but the issues with sims4 are incomparable to any of the previous games issues. And the issue with creators *like* lilsimsie (because there’s many others doing the exact same) is that they are keeping EA lazy
  • Is gshade not working for anyone or is it just me???? #gshade #ts4 #thesims #thesims4 #Sims4
