@Tele_AD_97 I see I'm not the only one who craved chaos on this nice Christmas day x) sadly I can't figure out how to run the code Someone (@ ea or windows) pls fix this I haven't played the Sims Medieval in a year since I changed computers to a better one Happy holidays! if someone felt generous with their time and explain in simple words how to run the code to this smol bean I would really appreciate it

@sakuraskeletonk  Hello there, my system language isn't English, so what I'm about to say may not be very accurate. But I'm gonna try my best :D

It's quite simple actually, I'd suggest you to search "how to run powershell code" if you find my explanation confusing.

You need to: 

1- Open Notepad, copy that code and paste it.

2- Save the file as .ps1 , repeat, suffix has to be ".ps1".

3- Before you run the game, right-click the .ps1 file, choose the second option "run with Powershell", you'd see a blue window saying "Launch Sims Medieval..."

4- Now you can start your game! Remember, you have to run the code everytime before playing.

The same applies to TS3, it also has a powershell code for Gen-12 CPU.

Enjoy your game and happy new year!!! :D

@Tele_AD_97  thank you so much! I think this will help at a lot of people.

Still did not work for me   The powershell window is literally flashing open and close once - does not let me check if there is anything on it. And I am trying to open a case with EA and it is only letting me refer to already existing EA questions.

i'm in the same place as you

[Tremayne4260]

@Cassugia and @sungirl128 , so you both tried the Powershell workaround and it isn't working for you? Do you have Sims 3 by chance and is that working?

[Cassugia]

No I do not have Sims 3. Used to have it but after installing Sims 4, I could no longer get used to the UI. What I really miss from that is the travel pack - the sims 4 never captured the essence of the adventure like sims 3.

@Cassugia , so you still have it in your Origin account? Or you totally deleted it. Powershell seems to the be the only way to get Sims 3 and Sims Medieval to run on Windows 11. I Googled "Powershell Sims Medieval" and a video on YouTube popped up that might help you as it will show you step by step what to do. I'm afraid I cannot link the video here, but you should be able to find it doing a google search.

@Cassugia I've met this problem - after playing TS4, my TSM cannot get started. I've found no soluntion yet except reinstalling TSM, which is quite troublesome indeed... But it works.
