The Sims franchise is turning 25 this year, and EA has re-released both The Sims and The Sims 2 as a part of the celebration. Legacy editions of both games (and all their DLC packs) were released last week.
A more accessible way to play the games that formed the foundation of The Sims franchise is something players have wanted for a long time. But unfortunately, neither re-released game appears to be running particularly well, and players are running into bugs and other issues.
Early iterations of The Sims were a lot different–and arguably, a lot more challenging–than the modern Sims 4 experience, but the issues players are running into with the re-releases have less to do with gameplay differences and more to do with bugs EA clearly did not intend to be a part of the experience. Problems range from graphics issues to the game not loading whatsoever. The Sims subreddit and its official forums are overflowing with posts and comments about problems players are encountering with The Sims Legacy Edition and The Sims 2 Legacy Edition. One player even noted they couldn’t get a refund on Steam because their Sims 4 playtime had been added to their Legacy Edition playtime, making the Legacy Edition unable to be refunded.
