Over the years, the Sims 1 and The Sims 2, the two most popular and influential games of all time, have not had an official, legal way to run on modern devices.Now, EA and Maxis have finally brought these two classic works back to the PC platform.However, the Sims 2 responded in mixed responses in early Steam player comments due to a series of technical issues.

According to official release notes, this new version of The Sims 2 is compatible with Windows 10 and 11 systems and has undergone some technical optimizations, such as native support for widescreen and high resolution.But this is not a complete remake. The performance released on the first day made many players feel unsatisfactory.

Currently, the Sims 2 reviews on Steam are "commonly praised and criticized".Some criticisms are not very tenable, such as the earlier version of the Steam page said that the game contained controversial D encryption, but it actually did not.However, the problem of game crashes reflected by many players cannot be ignored.

Frequent collapse seems to be the main problem after the release of The Sims 2.While some users seem to have no problems at all, gaming crashes are a common complaint, whether it’s negative reviews on Steam or other feedback on social media.In the trial stage before the release of the new version, the Sims 2 also had a crash problem.

It’s a pleasure to have the classic The Sims’ series of games returned to the digital store.But disappointingly, these PC gaming masterpieces—again, they are one of the most popular and influential games of all time—are simply a simple upgrade when adapting to a modern PC..There is no doubt that getting these games and all their extended content and extras to run stably on modern devices is a difficult task for developers.But if there is a game worth investing so much energy, it must be The Sims.I hope EA and Maxis can at least solve the most serious crash problem. Players don’t want to relive the crash experience of PC games in 2004.
