The Sims 1 and 2 patch fixes numerous issues, following "farcical" re-release


EA and Maxis have issued a patch for their recently released Legacy editions of The Sims 1 and The Sims 2.

Several players have had problems (e.g. walls, floors, objects not showing up; game not launching; other oddities) that are addressed by updating graphics drivers to the latest versions. The Sims game window is of a fixed size that can't have its basic properties changed after it has launched. Remember that the "boolProp testingCheatsEnabled" cheat will cause the game to periodically show various dialogue boxes with debugging information in them.
