Can’t get Vorpx to attach to sims 4

[Bewitched]

I have a vive HTC pro 2, i’ve tried using the hook helper, i’ve tried using admin rights, i’ve tried using alternative hook, i’ve disabled anti virus and nothing gets it to work. I’ve put in the settings that I have a vive, so I don’t know why it’s not working. Help.

Don’t forget to disable game overlays in the EA/Steam client settings.

Disabled both, didn’t work.

This is still an issue. Here’s what i’ve tried so far. I’ve tried using the hook helper, i’ve tried using admin rights, i’ve tried using alternative hook, i’ve disabled anti virus, i’ve disabled every imaginable overlay from steam, EA, Nvidia GeForce and AWCC, i’ve tried running the game vanilla with no mods, I tried SFC /scannow, I tried reinstalling Vorpx and the sims, i’ve tried with only one monitor, i’ve tried turning off discord, i’ve tried even looking in event logger and I cannot figure out why it doesn’t work. And it’s not just The Sims 4. It doesn’t hook to Saints Row 3, Titanfall nor the sims. The only thing that works is the desktop viewer but it doesn’t attach to any games.

And no i’m not running it on a potato. I’m running this on a windows 11, Alienware R16, Aurora 4090. I refuse to believe this kind of performance is acceptable for this hardware.

Ah, I have found the solution. Enable directx9 from the graphics options in the sims. Vorpx doesn’t seem to get along with the sims in direct x 11.

Sorry for reopening this, but I can’t get VorpX to use Geometry3D reconstruction in The Sims4 – DX9: VorpX manages to hook to the TS4_DX9_x64.exe but it does not render in stereoscopic 3D.
I remember it used to work back in the pre-2024 update… Did anyone manage to make it work with the current update?
Thanks in advance…

I am also having this issue, it doesn’t seem to work in 3D anymore.

You need the legacy (DX9) version for Geometry 3D support. Can be installed separetly from the EA launcher. Click the ‘Manage’ button, then ‘Manage add-ons’. Download ‘The Sims 4 Legacy Edition’.

I don’t think it’s possible to even launch the sims 4 legacy edition any more. There’s no option for it in properties.

Which is very strange, i recall the sims 4 working in vorpx a few months ago just fine, I just had to switch to DX9 in the settings. But doing so no longer works.

[Ralf]

Odd, I can still download it in the EA Desktop app as described above.

[Bewitched]

You can download it, yes. I also have it already downloaded and installed. But how do you launch it? I don’t see any option to do so.

[Bewitched]

I think I need to clarify the bug i’m experiencing.
I think the game needs to be launched in Directx9 version to work in vorpx. I suspect that’s what the “legacy” version is. You can enable DirectX9 from within the games settings. Restarting and running the game again launches it in directX9. Vorpx Will attach to it now but one of two things will happen.
1, there will be no option what-so-ever for 3D reconstruction or 2, you will have two Z options but both of them output visual corruption and neither correctly display anything.

previously enabling DirectX9 is what made it work for me back in November of last year. That no longer seems to be the case. Unless i’m horribly mistaken here, it seems to me that Vorpx is just no longer compatible with the Sims 4.

Is that the case? Can anyone else confirm? Or is there some secret .exe for the sims legacy edition i’m just not aware of.
