Really enjoying the pure gameplay and the nostalgia.
Its interface is wonderfully simple and intuitive, the darker sense of humor gives it a unique identity, and the soundtrack remain hands down the best in the entire franchise.
What is the weirdest thing is that it runs way better on Steam Deck, I didn't even need to fiddle with anything to have it working.

Yes i can play this game and install on Linux POP OS , i not try on linux mint yet , but i can play sims 1 legacy on pop os without any crash , iused 5055 optiplex AMD Ryzen 5 2400 PRO 8GB Ram Vega 11, on linux pop os no problem , remember to used proton experimental.
Characters wear interesting costumes and have a flair that was lacking in Sims 2.
