The Sims™ 2 Legacy Collection

Legacy Collection is trash. Most of y'all already knew that, but I can't discourage buying it enough. Wasted $30 technically $40 because I bought Sims 1 also. I'm so disappointed because I like having my games in Steam. Long story short, it crashed SO frequently that it gradually became unplayable. I tried everything under the sun and removed all my CC. I've tried Vulkan, I've tried deleting the caches every time I launch it, I've tried different graphics settings, I've tried the empty standby list, I could go on and on and on. It got to the point that I couldn't even get my Sims to go to a community lot successfully without it crashing. I installed Ultimate Collection with the fan patch & RPC launcher and immediately the crashing stopped and it runs like a dream. I put all my CC back to test it and it has no problems. It still does crash, but maybe 10% of the time if that. Don't give EA money. 🏴‍☠️ [h1]DO NOT BUY LEGACY COLLECTION LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES[/h1] EDIT: Since trolls can't read, I have 800+ hours because it's one of the best games ever made but a ♥♥♥♥ port :) Install Ultimate Collection instead is my point.

It is amazing and far better than modern Sims games.... then it crashes... and of your all of your progress is gone. No fixes so far. I would not buy until they fix the issue with the game randomly crashing.

I love sims2 and won't refund it/will continue to play, but before purchasing you should know that it does crash randomly while in your sims' home, and if you minimize the game while anywhere outside your residence it will crash. So if you play, save often, and don't minimize outside of your residence.

I bought this because of nostalgia, and ignored the negative reviews of game not working properly, thinking that won't happen to me. 9 hours in and my save is already bugged. The pirated version of this game works better... Maybe they should hire them to fix there game.

The reviews started looking up recently, so I thought I'd give it a try. Still crashes constantly in vanilla. I have tried 3 separate fixes and none of them have worked. Unless you have the patience to troubleshoot for hours on end, this game most likely won't work for you.

[b]TLDR:[/b] [u]The Sims 2 shines in Live Mode.[/u] If your favorite thing is building beautiful houses and creating the perfect Sim, the newer games have you covered. If you want tiny people with personalities, memories and enough drama to fuel a reality show, play The Sims 2. For those coming for the nostalgia: [u]the game had a rough launch, but it's pretty okay now on Windows.[/u] I’m writing this about a year after the Legacy Collection released. Most of the issues have been fixed, maybe I'm lucky but I haven’t had any performance problems or a single crash so far. For reference, I'm playing with around 4 GB of mods and it's still been stable. [b]My experience is on Windows.[/b] Unfortunately, the Mac version still seems to be having a much rougher time. On Windows, it still needs a few tweaks here and there but this edition is still being supported, so compared to the old Ultimate Collection, it's a huge improvement. Back then the game wouldn't even recognize modern graphics cards and had issues like the infamous shadow bug. You needed a bunch of fixes just to make it playable. Now? A few mods are still nice to have, but it's nowhere near the hassle it used to be. [b]The only real downside[/b] is that the IKEA Stuff Pack and a few radio songs are missing due to licensing, but if they matter to you, there are already plenty of guides showing how to restore them. [hr][/hr] [b]For people who love creating stories, this is THE life simulator.[/b] [u]Fair warning[/u] though: if your favorite part is spending hours making the perfect Sim or building ultra-realistic houses, the newer games definitely have the advantage. [b]Once you press Play? Nothing else quite compares.[/b] Every Sim has their own personality, wants, fears, hopes and anxieties... They fear losing someone they love. They remember their first kiss, heartbreak, marriage, the birth of their child & more... AND many of these moments even have special cutscenes. They genuinely feel like little people instead of dolls waiting for your commands. There's so much potential. You can create your own Sims, of course, but TS2's premades are packed with lore too. Betrayals, love triangles, forbidden romance, sibling rivalries, even aliens.. and one pregnant man. The game gives you all these little threads and lets you decide where the story goes. The animations are ridiculously detailed and there are so many tiny interactions that still impress me after all these years. If you watch a chess game, they're playing by the actual rules. Same with pool. When they're cooking, they'll open drawers to grab a spoon or a knife. And [b]it's the little details that really sell the illusion.[/b] Want new clothes? Your Sims actually have to go shopping for them or sew them themselves. If you've never played The Sims 2 before, please don't let the old graphics or a few remaining quirks put you off. I honestly think if you give it a fair chance, you'll understand why so many people still call this the best life simulator ever made. + [u]modding[/u] this game has become even more fun thanks to all the amazing Sims 4 → Sims 2 conversions. Seriously, bless every creator keeping this game alive.

This is simply unacceptable! The game freezes on the loading screen and crashes if you try and click anywhere! No fixes change a thing! No custom patches, additional apps, deleting the whole document folder, LITERALLY NOTHING HAS HELPED! I hope you explode.

NO recomiendo comprarlo. A diferencia del pirata, en este no admiten contenido personalizado.
