Electronic Arts recently released The Sims: Legacy Collection and The Sims 2: Legacy Collection, which include all previous expansion packs except for The Sims 2 IKEA Pack. However, players have experienced a number of issues, including crashes, deleted files, missing food and furniture, DirectX conflicts, save issues, and inability to launch games.

Here's What We Know

EA has acknowledged these issues and stated that it is actively working to resolve them.

In its statement, the company said: "We are aware that some fans are currently experiencing various issues with The Sims: Legacy Collection and The Sims 2: Legacy Collection. We are investigating these issues and hope to provide information on fixes in the near future." EA has also encouraged players to submit screenshots, videos, and diagnostic files to help with the investigation.

So unfortunately, for now, we have another EA release that was unsuccessful at the start.
