Just bought The Sims 1!!

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.

    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.


    Try to run the installer on compatibility mode. Open the CD drive on My Computer, right click on Setup.exe, go to the compatibility tab and select run in Windows XP compatibility mode.

    Have you tried installing the game in safe mode? You say your error is now with disk 4 sound error. I read there was a patch put out back in the day for your error. However I do not think you can get it. the patch was for your version for living large can not remember what your game would be called living something.

    You are on disk 4 have you gone in to play any of the game at all? You can go play the game as you install the disks. You do not have to install them all at once. If you can get into the game go to game options and shut off the sound. Uncheck it or just shut it off.

    Here is a link for trying it in safe mode.

    I really do not know if this will help you but it is worth giving it a read any way.



    I haven't tried that yet. Yes it is, with the original disc it was on something else but this time it is on sound data apparently. I don't think I can because it is the complete collection so it installs all at once with the four discs. I'll have a read :) thanks.
  • Mm, my game installed just fine in both Windows 7, and 8.1· I guess some people have problems with the game based in their hardware· O.o

    The image is rotated!! but wasn't when I took it. ;p but that is my new one. I can't help but feel hopeful and also extremely excited ^-^ ahh



    Hi do you know if this version has italian language on it? Cause i'm going to buy it on ebay, and is the uk version like yours (browsing the disc 1 you should have some it_IT files, or choosing language when you install the game) thanks.

    Curious if @FluorescentSoap ever solved the problem!?


    Nope, never did :( also wow I suck at replies. May 13th. oops
  • Also have it, even after hours of troubleshooting and getting it running, it still crashes because of what I suspect GPU drivers. How disappointing!
