    It's awesome that people made these mods so themselves and others can still play these games for years to come. While adding some QOL stuff like the resolution changes for modern sized screens it's a simple thing to forget adjust but when you do it's noticeable.

    I’m not sure if you play much of the sims 3 but a lot of simmers are having issues with getting it to run on the EA app (for me it’s a constant loop opening the launcher and then the EA app) I’ve heard some people on forums taking about the ‘alder lake patch’ but I can’t find any clear instructions on how to install this… just thought I’d let you know :)
