EA Investigates Bugs in Sims 1 and 2 Legacy Re-Releases

Players report technical issues with the newly released Legacy Collections, prompting EA to promise fixes and seek user feedback.

The Sims and The Sims 2 were re-released as Legacy Collections on January 31, 2025, to celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary.
Players have reported widespread issues, including crashes, graphical errors, DirectX conflicts, and problems with game saves and loading.
The Legacy Collections include all DLCs but lack remastered graphics or significant quality-of-life improvements, leading to mixed reviews on Steam.
EA has acknowledged the issues and is investigating, asking players to provide screenshots, videos, and system diagnostics to aid in resolving the problems.
While the re-releases make these classic games more accessible on modern hardware, players have criticized their technical shortcomings and pricing.
