Download The Sims 1 Complete Collection
Comments
I finally decided to bust out and install my original Sims Collection on Windows 10, and boy was I in for a brutal night. Due to a complex technical issue I know nothing about, it has become nearly impossible to play older games like The Sims on Windows 10. After about 3 hours of trying random.
Feb 21, 2011 - About this mod. Tired of the same ol' futuristic fonts? Want something classier for your Fallout experience? A PipBoy font that doesn't look. Dec 13, 2011 - This mod replaces the vanilla NV fonts (except the one in the terminals) with the classic Fallout font that was to be used with Van Buren. New vegas font mod 1. Dec 13, 2018 - A mod to substitute the Monofonto typeface sets in the vanilla game with a new design based on the California transportation system's signage.

- Update: I've have discovered the problem.

The only solution seems to be either finding a digital copy (not possible with Sims) or modding the game to not use the disc. Currently looking for a mod to do this from a trustworthy website.. - Am I the only one having issues getting the original Sims working on Windows 10?
The game installs fine, but whenever I try to start it up I get an error message that says 'Access Denied: Please login with administrator permissions and try again'. The obvious solution of right clicking the game's icon and selecting 'Run as administrator' gets rid of the error message, but then the game just doesn't start up at all.
I've also tried running it in compatibility mode multiple times and that didn't help. I'm also having this issue with another old game made around the same time, so I'm wondering if it's related.
Same here..hopefully Microsoft will have a fix for this soon - Installing the mod that bypasses the disc and running the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2 fixed the problem for me. A modified Sims.exe to do this can be found here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByvqSle1TbhCSGJETG1Ha3lEUUE/view?usp=sharing
I have uploaded it to Google Drive, as the website I found it on was a bit sketchy. I scanned it with my anitvirus and it came up normal.. Google Drive also scans anything you upload with it's antivirus, but regardless use at your own risk. Please note that this is not a link to a pirated version of the game, just a fixed Sims.exe that will allow the game to launch on Windows 10. I own the game and installed it on my computer via the installation disks. Obviously you will have to own the game too for this to work.
Instructions on getting it working:
1.) Make sure you already have the game installed on your computer.
2.) Go to :C > Program Files (x86) > Maxis > Sims. Rename the Sims.exe to sims.old. Make sure you keep this file in case the new one doesn't work.
3.) Download the file and move the new Sims.exe to the same folder (:C > Program Files (x86) > Maxis > Sims).
4.) Launch, run the game in compatibility mode if necessary.
5.) If it works, enjoy. If not, remove the new Sims.exe and change the old one to it's original name.
Good luck.
Hopefully this helps anyone who's spent hours searching the internet trying to find a solution to this issue. - Thanks I just bought the complete collection on amazon and this will help when I upgrade to Windows 10.Formerly known as Simasaurus09

Edit:Fixed, for anyone else interested, just add -r1024x768 to the target link on the properties tab :) - Oh my goodness. It worked I now have sims1 back. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Now if I can only get sims 2 and three to work. This is awesome thank you so very very much.
Your Simmy friend,
Winterloc - edited August 2015Just an update to using this link. I have two sims 1 games meaning all cds installed meaning I have two same game but two different play set ups. I got one to work but it was really an earlier install and play of the game. I have tons of mods but I am not sure now how to install them into this older game play.
In my second game install I tried this fix but it did not work. That is where I have my newer install. I have all the mods installed there and that was the game I was really playing. I do not know how I actually did that a while back but I never could get the older game to play. Now I am playing the older game and it works fine. I would like to do this fix to the other game.
I hope I have made sense here. I am going to give this ago again today. I just downloaded the fix again.
Thank you so much PlumbBob_Theif. Without this fix I would not be playing any sims games. At present I can only play sims 1
Your simmy friend,
Winterloc - I got it running, but then I was stuck. First, it was generating old town, then celebrity sims, then those fans, and then magic town, and all over again. Those never ended. I went back to Windows 7, and that problem was gone.You can never discover The Sims games 100%. Even when you think you know everything, the game manages to surprise you.
That's why I do experiments in the game from time to time and tutorial videos on YouTube. - edited August 2015Thank you so much for posting this. I was so bummed when I couldn't get it to run. Thanks for making my day!

This is what happened in my game as well. - > @EgonVM said:

I had the same problem. Running it as administrator cleared this one up for me. - Anybody try virtual machine? I do not want to use it if it will hurt my machine

If you right-click on The Sims 1 shortcut and choose 'properties', a menu will popup and there will be a textbox labeled 'Target.' If you add -r1024x768 to the end of the textbox, your game will run at a higher resolution.> @Bennehz said:

Thank you so much for this fix! I got the 800 to work, but not the 1024. I currently have windows 10, but I don't have a shortcut tab in my properties menu. Does anyone know of a workaround? - edited October 2015[quote='SookieTawdry;14084242']> @canitbeman said:

I had this problem too. It's because we tried to open the properties of the actual application. Create a shortcut first on your desktop and you'll get that shortcut tab when you try from there! - I tried the download that was posted further up, the modified sims thing but it said it could not find the data or something. I am about to accept the fact I just wasted money :(
- Will this work with the Sims 2 on a Windows 8 laptop?The Marcano Family(TS3)

This thread is about Sims 1. For Sims 2, try running it in Win XP SP3 compatibility mode, and be sure to run it as an administrator.Will this work with the Sims 2 on a Windows 8 laptop?- edited December 2015Because of these compatibility issues, I wish they would put the Sims Complete Collection on Origin, and update it so it will run on Windows 8 and 10. (I had no trouble installing Sims Complete Collection on Windows 7 when running as administrator and running in compatibility for Windows XP SP3.) By the way, the no-cd mod for Sims 1 doesn't work unless you have the game installed, and the only reliable way to install the game is to own the cd set. I also wish they would put the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection back on Origin. I just got a new Windows 10 computer, and I have Sims 2 Store Edition on Origin, but that requires Sims 2 to first be installed. Also, with Sims 2 Store edition, the fraternity in SimState University household won't load.
- I want to thank the individual that made this patch. Because of this, i can now play sims 1 again. I was very depressed for quite awhile that i could no longer play sims 1, even made worse by the fact that i was forced to get windows 10 and not my choice. Luckily, this patch works wonders, and to tell others about it, i posted it on here:

BTW, anyone who knows me on here, i apologize for the long absence. Many bad things and depression in real life has hit me. I don't wish to upset people, but i have now little time to play games, so i try my best to do it when i can. Thanks for understanding.Completed: All worlds

I tried to register the game in my Origin Account, and as I imagined, the serial was not valid. So I started a chat in US Origin (I'm brazilian) and asked for help to register the game in my account.
In the begining I thought I would be successfull in this process, until the moment when the clerk said that the registration wouldn't be possible because the game is very old. I answered saying that Origin owns older games than The Sims 1 (SimCity 2000, Theme Hospital..), and the clerk was unable to explain the availablity of these games.
So then, I started observing my game and I realized that it was produced in 2008. I notified the clerk about this, about Sims 2 also. I got lots of criteria about the fact that 'The Sims Complete Collection is too old', until the clerk guided me to create a topic in Origin forum about this question to call attention of the developers. Instantly I looked for it to find answers about my issue.
After I searched topics in forum, I thought about what the clerk has told me 'all attention of the developers' e asked him about it. He said that a post in the forum could convince (or not) the developers to provide The Sims 1 in Origin.
He also offered me The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection (I already own this one), saying that it was better than TS1. I thought a little disrispect, once my first question was about how to register The Sims Complete Collection in my account.
After 3 hours chatting trying to understand why the game will not be available on Origin to date, I concluded what was mentioned at the beginning of the publication.
Since now.. I'm a big fan of The Sims series and I am REALLY disapointed about the way EA treats this classic game that gave birth to everything we have today. :'(
