The Sims 2 Legacy Collection Patch Notes – March 14, 2025
Fixed Issues:
- General stability and performance improvements
- There are significant frames per second (FPS) drops in various scenarios including multiple Sims in Ultra Speed, various complex lots, camera panning, etc.
- If Windows shortcuts (Win+Shift+ArrowKey, etc) was used to move the game window from one monitor to another, the player could end up with a plain blue window in the new location
- The Sims 2 might crash if a custom beach lot is placed in Belladonna Cove
- _ The Sims 2 _minimizes if it is not the foreground application
- Pets can not be scolded or encouraged (e.g. to train a dog not to urinate indoors, or to discourage cats from sitting on counters)
- A Sim returning from work as an Eco Guru sometimes became invisible
- On screens with resolution higher than 1080p, the pie wheel options sometimes went off screen
- Sometimes when a family tries to travel to a community lot, only the family dog will travel
- On 2k and 4k monitors, selecting the “More” option sometimes resulted in the mouse pointer jumping off the screen
- After running for long periods of time (generally 2 hours or more), the player is sometimes prevented from interacting with the game
- Multiple uses of Alt+Enter could cause the game screen to eventually move off the bottom of the screen
- Multiple uses of Alt+Enter could sometimes cause the game to scale the window incorrectly
- The CAS UI does not scale/arrange well on displays with extreme aspect ratios (e.g. ultra-wide displays)
- If the computer has two displays of varied resolution capabilities (e.g. 4k + 1080p) the game window could jump from one screen to the other when making Resolution selections
Improved Functionality:
- The Sims 2 now uses a borderless window to provide the fullscreen experience
General Notes:
- There are recurring problems being reported on Intel Arc systems. Please see previous patch notes for more information
- Due to the way the underlying graphics layer that The Sims 2 depends on works, when switching between Full Screen and Windowed mode with Alt+Enter, there can sometimes be a substantial delay (many seconds) while the scene is recalculated and rendered
