Electronic Arts (EA) is investigating reports of bugs and issues in the re-released Legacy Collections of The Sims 1 and 2, which have received mixed reviews on Steam. The collections, priced at $20 and $30 respectively, are receiving criticism for their poor performance, lack of modernizations, and retention of known bugs from the original releases.
According to EA’s community update, the company is investigating the issues, but their response has been met with skepticism by fans who feel that the problem goes beyond just technical fixes. The most common complaints include:
* UI scaling issues at higher resolutions
* Crashes at launch and during gameplay
* Lack of quality-of-life features like Steam Cloud saves and MacOS support
* Retention of bugs from the original releases
The situation has drawn comparisons to EA’s earlier struggles with ports of classic games, such as the Metal Gear Master Collection. In this case, fans are feeling that the publisher is not providing enough support or updates to address the issues.
As EA continues to investigate and address the problems, fans will be watching closely for any signs of improvement.
