#the sims legacy collection

someone wrote a pretty long and detailed technical overview of the differences between the old sims 1 and sims 1 legacy collection if someone's interested

Legacy Collection Splash Screen

Since EA did the bare minimum, just removing "The Complete Collection" text from the old splash screen & called it a day - I made a new splash screen for the Legacy Collection.

Includes a default 4:3 (800x600) version, and a 16:9 (1920x1080) version

Download

Legacy Collection Install - Drop "setup.bmp" into the "Maxis > The Sims > UIGraphics > Logos" folder.

Complete Collection Install - Create a new folder in "Maxis > The Sims > UIGraphics" named "Other". Place "setup.bmp" into this folder.

The Sims 1 & 2 Legacy Collection is not perfect.

I know most people are reading this, even for Simmers who Don't want to support the Devs because of Reasons, but I came an Alternative method and the Definitive way to Play The Sims 1 & 2 (Plus The Sims Stories that was not available on EA Desktop, Steam & EGS).

TS2 Extender for Legacy Collection

Hi :)

I've been poking around in the new Legacy Collection release for The Sims 2.

I started work on a small mod that currently adds the following:

Borderless fullscreen support

Toggle to skip intro videos.

Firstborn Syndrome Fix (Fixes broken RNG in general)

Experimental restored Lua features for modders.

Download on Github

Installation is simple, head to your game's installation directory -> EP9 -> TSBin and extract the contents there, alongside the game's executable. You can tweak the mod's features via notepad by editing the included .ini file.

Now let's hope EA actually addresses the other millions of issues the release has...

EA confirms they know about the issues, and invite people to report them (details about the info that needs to be provided is in the post). They will be looking into them.

Please, if you have the LC, report the bugs! This could potentially resolve some major issues for good. Do not just point fingers at EA. Yes they are lazy, but they still have the source code, and we don't.

i caved and bought the legacy collection out of curiosity

i bought it on steam by the way, no way am I going anywhere near the ea app

random thoughts as i go along:

game loaded up straight away with no issues (what a strange feeling)

got into pleasantview within 2 minutes (obvs I have no cc installed right now so its gonna be faster anyway)

a bit of a jumpscare to see the game again without reshade ngl

straight into the lothario household. don you look... different without all my defaults

screen resolution defaulted to the right size without me having to change anything by the way, which was nice

turned up all the graphics setting to max and going to visit the goth household as that always gives me lag, even vanilla

this experience is already making me realise I need to cut down my 12gb downloads folder, cos man this is so smooth and fast without all of that in my game

well everything is working perfectly straight out of the box. had no issues with multiple sims on the big goth lot

going to quit and load up again with my ui mods and defaults next (along with hugelunatic's ikea pack as cc)

legacy collection has an entirely different file path by the way, so won't mess with existing ultimate collection installs (i wouldn't have dared to do this otherwise)

okay all my defaults, ui mods and some others are now in (downloads folder is up to 3.64gb now) and everything is working fine still

ikea items as cc don't seem to be fully appearing in the catalog though? that might be a me problem but i dont know

adding in all my cas cc now, along with hood defaults and hood deco cc (downloads folder is up to 6.5gb now). i'm also adding in anything else I can think of like camera mods, user startup cheat etc etc

getting into pleasantview in less than 2 mins still

heading into cas for the first time now...

... and it loaded up within 10 seconds even with ALL of my cas cc? and this is the first time too so I would've expected major lag. normally cas takes about 60 seconds to load in my game

update on the ikea pack as cc... the build items are definitely there, but not the buy for some reason?

biting the bullet and adding in the remaining 6gb of my 12gb downloads folder

all of my cc is now in the game and loading times were about 30 seconds longer than before. still no issues

took darren dreamer to a community lot and there were no crashes/issues/lag. normally going to a community lot is very dangerous for me cos its where I get the most crashes or issues, its why all my community lots are incredibly small lot sizes

also I have the hood deco view set to extra large... normally I have to have it set to extra small just to play in a small household

i dont think I'm being delulu here to say things are running better

next up is adding in all of my mods, then after that I might dare putting in my mega populated uberhood save, and try reshade?

another ikea update: everything is showing up now. it was me being an idiot

so all of my mods are now also in (so my entire downloads folder now) and i haven't been able to trigger any crashes or pink soup yet through normal gameplay? even with extra large hood view from lots

reshade keeps crashing my game on startup... damn, what am I doing wrong

RESHADE IS NOW WORKING (ver 6.1.1)! thanks to this guide

I finally added in my uberhood save (which is packed with hood deco and and has 35 playable families).... and it's working! I also played with a household for a bit and everything was working fine

final update before I go to bed (as its gone midnight here lol)

i now have all of my mods, cc, saves, and reshade installed, and I've yet to have any pink soup or crashes (apart from the crashes when I was *incorrectly* trying to install reshade). honestly... i'm surprised. i dont want to speak too soon obviously, but things seem better. i was just playing in a household with extra large lot view on and that would usually IMMEDIATELY crash my game, but nothing happened. tomorrow i'll actually play for an extended period of time, so i'll be able to tell more for sure then.

i hope this has been helpful to at least a couple of people, and i'll leave with you a shot of my pleasantview newly loaded up in the legacy collection 😅

The Collection Legacy by @simzcoolstar! Graphics by me. I played around a lot with the layout but I really like how it came out in the end!

This 10 generation challenge will help you complete various collections throughout the game (some you didn't even know about!).

Here are the full challenge rules, which includes details on which packs you'll need for each generation. It looks like it was last updated around 2020 based on the packs used, so you can always add more!

What challenge should I do next?

THE SIMS 1 LEGACY COLLECTION HAS BEEN CRACKED

if you need to know where to find it just ask

also, it seems the denuvo tag is a Mistake on both games, and they don't actually include DRM, so the sims 2 will likely be cracked SoonTM

TS2 Legacy Collection CEP Extra Tutorial

Hi guys! I just wanted to make this quick tutorial on this since it's the first time a lot of players will be doing this.

Step 1: Download CEP Extra Manual installation from ModTheSims linked here (Read all instructions included if you get confused)

Step 2: Extract the Zip to a folder

Step 3: Open the folder and place the package _EnableColorOptionsMMAT into the Sims3D folder located here: Program Files > EA Games>The Sims 2 Legacy>Base>TSData>Res>Sims3D

Step 4: Place the package _EnableColorOptionsGMND into your Downloads folder located here: Documents>EA Games>The Sims 2 Legacy>Downloads **Note: You will likely have to create this folder yourself which is easy. Simply right click inside The Sims 2 Legacy folder and create a new folder named "Downloads" and place that file right inside.**

Step 5: Open the 'Extras' folder inside the Zip

Step 6: Open the folder 'MyDocuments' and place the entire zCEP-EXTRA folder inside your Sims 2 Legacy document folder located here: Documents>EA Games>The Sims 2 Legacy

Step 7: Open the folder 'ProgramFiles' and place the entire zCEP-EXTRA folder inside your Catalog folder located here: Program Files > EA Games>The Sims 2 Legacy>Base>TSData>Res>Catalog

And thats it! You should be good to go now. You can check if it's working by the start up message. If you have that setting turned off you can also check to see if it's working by going into one of the households and using the design tool on objects that were previously not recolorable or expanded objects. I believe you can also check to see if it's working by checking the skin tone range in CAS but don't quote me on that lol. Anyway I hope this helped someone 💜

Speaking of magic, Micah decides it's time to stop sitting around waiting for it to find her. She must go forth and seek it herself!

Beginning / Previous / Next

Olive: Good evening, child. I don't believe we've met.

Micah: Oh! Hello, ma'am. I didn't see you there.

Olive: Please, call me Olive.

Micah: You don't happen to know where I could find some ghosts, do you?

Olive: [laughs] Look around, spellcaster! Is your second sight really that rusty?

Micah: Spellcaster? Wait, how did you know-

Olive: Join us for the Full Moon Revelry in Whistling Glen this weekend. The Ancestor will be pleased to see you.

Micah: Huh?

Olive: Oh, and you might want to glance behind you before they fade.

Micah: Who?

Oh!
