NO HOUSES HELP HELP HELP

[MeiMei]

Hi!! I need help. I was looking for a solution to this problem but couldn’t find anything about it.

My game runs without any issues; it starts up fine. However, the entire neighborhood is completely empty—there are no houses. When I check the community lots, they are there!

The worst part is that if I try to create a Sim, the game just crashes… and that’s it.

I tried changing the graphics settings to use the Intel GPU, but it didn’t work. Does anyone know what’s happening?}

Same thing happening here

I just had the same problem, Just bought the game.

This problem is EXCLUSIVE to steam, because EA is a bit silly

Solution:
Go to: - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Sims Legacy Collection - Copy the folder named "UserData" As well as "UserData1, UserData2" Etc up to UserData8

Paste the "UserData" and UserData(number) Folders in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Saved Games\Electronic Arts\The Sims 25

Reasons why the crash happens: Game tries to check the folder where sims are created, doesn't find it, and crashes because of it. Same folder holds the houses.

Same problem also just bought the game. On Steam Deck so not sure where to find the sims 25 folder...

Editing to say for me (Linux/steam deck):

Go to:
Home/deck/.local/share/steam/steam apps/common/The Sims Legacy Collection

Copy the User data folders to:

Home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steam apps/compatdata/3314060/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games/Electronic Arts/The Sims 25

And then it works

I would guess the numeric folder name in compatdata won't be the same, but hopefully this helps with where to look
