Is anyone running Sims 4 with Windows 10? Any issues? Besides for backing up, any suggestions for upgrading without borking your game?

I've been running Windows 10 for months now and have had no issues with the game.

(Don't try this at home) But I didn't do any single preparation for windows 10 and the transition was seamless for me. Also this could be my imagination but it seems to run smoother as well. So don't worry, take that leap

It does actually runs way smoother than it did on Windows 8.

I running windows 10 I have no issues I had more issues with windows 8 and 8.1 then with windows 10.

So, if I convert, then my Sims 4 game will work hunkey dory. Any thoughts on the other Sims games - 1, 2, or 3?

I haven't had issues with 3 or 4. I haven't attempted 1 or 2.

Early on in the technical preview I had to run 4 in compatibility mode for Windows 8, but whatever was causing that issue's been fixed for a long time.

When I installed Win 10, it reset my settings to default, but that's about it.

Everything runs better on something that isn't a half-baked potato.

running fine on w10 since the 28th (used the trick to get it quicker )



yeah no w7 doesn't have dx12. and it's not just an upgrade of 8 either your programs and boot will be a lot faster. and the sims loads quicker too.

as for the privacy issue when you install don't choose express install and you can turn all the big brother stuff off. and btw if you think w7 doesn't do the same thing than your mistaken

Through PCworld on my facebook page they said it didn't take DVD's. That would be a big problem for me.

There are two drawbacks to Windows 10 and neither of them are related to simming. 1) be careful of the new "Wifi Sense". And that includes if any of your friends have WIndows 10 you don't even need to have it yourself to be caught out with that. 2) One Drive has been ruined. You can no longer see placeholder files or folders for online-only files. Any files or folders you keep online can only be interacted with via your web browser

I just updated to Windows 10 and so far so good. I don't have cortana and the rest of the settings can be turned off (hopefully turning off helps lol). The update went pretty fast, and I only had to restart to get the display drivers to work properly, otherwise no problems so far.

Another thing to take into account with Win10 is that Edge (browser) doesn't have plugins (yet?). This is something to consider if you are atm using IE with plugins. The forced updates can be a problem if they start to mess around with 3rd party drivers too.

And even with express install you can't tell everything regarding the privacy settings. I expect some detailed reviews about this on tech sites in the coming time. What Microsoft does with Express install is not nice (being generous here).

Anyway, my windows PC is solely for gaming and everything works great atm. This alone is for me a reason not to upgrade (yet?).

grab windows 10 manager to get rid of the rest of the privacy settings, turn off the UAC, disable auto updates and many more

Windows 10 is working just fine for me, but as always backup whatever data is important just in case of problems.

I just Windows 10 since July 26th and ever since I upgraded, Sims 4 will no longer run properly. I tried disabling all of the mods and tried to run in windows 8 compatibility mode and even that did not help. Sims 4 opens fine, then part way through playing, it says "Ts4.exe was blocked from accessing the graphics hardware." I updated my drivers and tried re-enabling the card, and none of those worked. It worked flawlessly on Windows 8.1, so I have no idea what the issue is. My computer specs are sufficient.

I'm about to get a new lap top for machinima work. I want to run both sims 2 and sims 4 on the lap top. I'm on vista right now, but obviously I'm going to have to have either windows 8.1 or windows 10. It would really be a wonderful help if the people who've had no problems would share their lap top or pc specs. Especially if they are running both games. I doubt I'm in the right room but.. ekk I'm new to this too lol
Thanks
