The Sims Legacy Collection is still suffering from crashing problems and technical issues after EA released the game’s latest update on February 20. Although some major problems have been fixed, The Sims Legacy Collection appears to be far from the ideal Sims game that some fans hoped for.
Sims fans were very excited when EA announced that The Sims and The Sims 2 would be released again as The Sims Legacy Collection and The Sims 2 Legacy Collection, which include the base games and their respective DLC content. The community’s response after the Sims Legacy Collection games were released was not as enthusiastic, however. Many players were reporting issues on Steam, including game crashes, corrupted saves, visual glitches, and progression bugs to name a few. Multiple updates were released after the game’s launch on January 31, but there still seem to be plenty of issues that have gone unaddressed.

The Sims Legacy Collection is Still Broken for Players After the February 20 Update
Overall, reception surrounding The Sims Legacy Collection continues to be mixed after the game’s latest update, with many fans making their opinions known about what has or has not been fixed on the Steam forum. According to the patch notes, EA is aware that there are issues that are currently being investigated, so it’s likely that more updates and bug fixes will arrive in the near future. There’s no guarantee that every issue will be fixed immediately, and EA encourages players to continue leaving feedback in the Steam forum and official Sims forum.
The Sims Legacy Collection and The Sims 2 Legacy Collection are available on Steam for $19.99 and $29.99 respectively. Although ports and remasters have been released around these price points, the bugs and issues involving both Sims Legacy Collection titles have encouraged heavy scrutiny of the price. Some fans in the forums would like EA to put more effort into ensuring future Sims releases, such as a potential The Sims 3 Legacy Collection, are up to par with what fans expect from remasters.
