I'm a little late to the party, I always had the sims 1 on console (PS2) and I never got to experience how the sims was on PC. I remember getting Unleashed from my friend to use for the week!! I was so excited but she didn't give me the original sims so I couldn't play it D; gosh. We used to play Makin Magic all the time at her house. I'm so excited to try it out for myself. I hope it works.

Really? Mine installed perfectly without a hitch when I got it 2 days ago. It's a very fun game to play because it's different than sims 2 and 3 in fun ways.

Good luck getting it installed! The graphics are a shock after playing any of the newer games, but the gameplay is amusing. Makin' Magic and Superstar were my favorite EPs and they're both a lot of fun to really dig into. Gaining fame is actually hard (but totally worth it when you earn your little fame award and get a creepy stalker guy who leaves you black roses), and there are so many spells and ingredients that it'll be a challenge to create every spell and potion! Ah the memories...Hope you figure out what's wrong and can play your game soon! :)

I'm desperate to play XDMakin Magic is definitely my favourite and then vacation I guess. Lol oh, I hear there are a lot of strange NPC's like that in the game.

Boo!

What's the OS you're on? Considering I had to make a few tweaks to install TS1 on my Win7.

I'm not sure what OS is, but I have Microsoft, Windows 8.1. 64 bit operating system.

Everytime I google I only find things about Sims 3 with this issue. I know it isn't my dvd drive that is the problem because disc 1 installs fine. Disc two doesn't seem to be working or have much on it at all but I don't really know what's supposed to be on it.

This is why They REALLY really need to offer sims 1 Complete as a Digital Download!!!

If simcity2000 is offered (and free) then they can do this with sims 1.
