Additional notes:
- Both games have all the DLC (bar the IKEA collection for TS2 from I believe).
Both games have the Denuvo DRM for some reason so keep that in mind if you’re worried about it.
Seems to be a false alarm, EA removed any mention of Denuvo from the store pages.- The Sims 1 will still run at its original resolution, but will now scale pixels to make better use of larger monitors while preserving the look and layout of the game.
- Old save files and mods are compatible with this version of the game (TS for sure according to the help page, I’m not certain about TS2).
I wasn’t trying to imply anything else to be clear, just wanted to mention that their app on its own doesn’t mean it won’t work. I completely agree otherwise.
You’re fine, I was just stating my own opinion. As it’s true, if I didn’t have such an intolerance to certain barriers to entry…I could get this game to work easily. As weirdly enough, I will spend more than 10 minutes looking for obscure repositories to add in order to make something work (like Vintage Story, I needed an older Fedora 39 repo of .NET 7 to make the game run) even if a Flatpak exists. ROFL
I’m just a silly sausage, I took zero offense…If anything, my initial comment was too speedy and needed more consideration before posting it!
It’s all good, I didn’t take your reply as a negative. It would be awesome if we could play anything with zero issues but we can’t always be this lucky I’m afraid (though I’m all for heckling big corps about DRM).
As long as we consistently don’t buy their intentionally compromised products…It’s been shown that companies will relent. Like Sony did recently with their PSN requirements for certain games, as the hostile feedback was hurting sales. I will continue to heckle those big corps myself, until they kowtow! It’s a boss battle, but they only have so much HP, Chip Damage is a successful strategy.
