Not who you asked, but I still cannot get the Sims 2 ultimate collection to even work, and I've been struggling with this since october lmao. The problem seems to be EA trying to force everyone to buy legacy edition thus targeting everyone making UC installable, but I refuse to buy it because not only fuck paying more for a game I've owned for twenty years, it also lacks the Ikea pack and bodyshop and I desperately need both. At least Lazy Duchess, the modder responsible for RPC made a patch that gives some of the functionality to legacy as well...
Also, that's only the first hurdle. There's like four or five small programs you need to actually play and mod the game properly, and I haven't even gotten far enough to try to get them to work. I don't have enough skills to understand running virtual machine stuff either, so it seems like my main rig will be stuck in win10 forever as I will not upgrade it to 11 but I also cannot sacrifice my most played game (there's also the problem with getting paint tool SAI running that's keeping me on windows but that's an entirely different affair, sigh)
