FaithBeam’s Sims 1 Widescreen Patcher

After that, you may want to look here: Widescreen Patcher.

Something that I recommend to use if you plan to play The Sims 1 is to use this widescreen patcher: https://github.com/FaithBeam/Sims-1-Complete-Collection-Wide...

It also installs DDrawCompat (or DGVoodoo2) for you, which is useful because vanilla The Sims 1 on Windows 10+ is choppy for some reason, using DDrawCompat (or DGVoodoo2) fixes the choppiness issue.

While it can work without a widescreen patcher, The Sims 1 under Windows 10+ is veeery sluggish, it feels like the FPS is being capped at ~20, so I 100% recommend you to apply the widescreen patcher to play the game.

it wasn't very straight forward, I spent 1-2h to install it. My steps: Install game using lutris, apply no-cd "patch", patch that exe in order to work with steam deck resolution ( patcher link https://github.com/FaithBeam/Sims-1-Complete-Collection-Widescreen-Patcher ) then add it to steam as a non-steam game. and it works perfectly, you have few control presets for steam deck and it's really nice to play with trackpad

This allows you to set The Sims 1 to a custom resolution. I'm not using it, myself, but a lot of people love it: https://github.com/FaithBeam/Sims-1-Complete-Collection-Widescreen-Patcher

The Sims 1 - Can be made to work flawlessly on modern systems with either dgvoodoo2 or the alternative DDrawCompat, I recommend installing either one via the widescreen patcher as it also allows you to force the game to run at modern resolutions. (Although things get a tad small at 4k, I recommend a maximum resolution of 1080p and just using full-screen FSR for any required upscaling.)

Download, extract then run The Sims 1 Widescreen Patcher.

Right now im using this https://github.com/Sporif/dxvk-async with dxvk.enableAsync=true, it works but i got transparent assets 1-2s before it load completely, is that normal?

You can also manually install it yourself, check the DXVK_ASYNC Github page for the instructions. Maybe try to use an older version of Proton GE if you're unsure.

I also tested out Unity on my system and got the same results as you to which DXVK gplasync or the older DXVK-Async "band-aid" fixed it. Really, that's the only thing that does address issues with DX11

DXVK Async: This is a file that converts the game from DirectX9 to Vulkan, this helps alleviate issues with stuttering and massive frame drops. This version has async which renders shaders faster so it has less stuttering than regular DXVK.

Try downloading this - https://github.com/Sporif/dxvk-async

Download dxvk async 2.0 here : https://github.com/Sporif/dxvk-async/releases/tag/2.0. then open it and go inside the x32 folder and copy d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll then paste inside C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia II\pc.

Jedi Fallen Order (Epic setting) was a little quirky with stuttering, but was rectified when I used DXVK_ASYNC and entered DXVK_ASYNC =1 in Settings > About > Advanced System Settings > Advanced Tab > Environment Variables > System Variables > New > Variable Name = DXVK_ASYNC, Variable Value = 1, and that reduces the issues quite a bit. Vanilla DXVK 2.1 didn't work out as well for me, but I might try it again as 2.2 came out recently
