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

*Presses agree button*

Hi FlourescentSoap,
Just curious are these used or never been used CD's? If they are used the second disk could be scratched Check it under good lighting to see if it has any deep scratches in the CD. If not maybe give it a little wipe with a lint free dry soft cloth. Start from the center and wipe down to the bottom of the disk. turn the disk and start from the center again and go down continue till you have come to where you started.
Then try your disk. See what happens. I hope you get it installed it is a fun game. Makin Magic is the best. I love this game and still play it to this day. :D
Your simmy friend,

Hey,

They were used - Good. on Amazon. I've ordered from a different person and got my refund.. but I might try again who knows. It seems to only have two things on disc 2.. I don't know if that is supposed to be that way. I cleaned the disc using my disc cleaner machine and it still didn't work :< and unfortunately even when I tried it on my windows 7 laptop it didn't work on that either. I can't wait for my second copy and hopefully that version works. x) that's awesome, it's what I plan to do ^-^ I've realised at the moment I'm going back in sims time... instead of playing TS3 and TS4 I'm playing TS2 and hopefully TS1 soon.

That would be pretty awesome, I'd have all my sims on Origin if that was to happen. The prices are ridiculous on Amazon ranging from £20 to £200!!! I'm avid to play but I'm not forking out £60 for a game that's from 2000.

I hope that too. Maybe in the aniversary.

Just to let you know on disk two there are only two files in the start up file. Data3 and ranger 8iff.
You are installing these four CD's in your CD rom drive on your desktop computer?

Ok, thank you! I just thought it would have more but that is reassuring. Yes, it's a desktop computer with D: Drive. Other games work and install fine, disc 1 went on fine but it's disc two that gets to exp 7/sound/sound then goes. I don't know when you put disc two in a folder pops up what are you meant to do from there??? I tried clicking the data file but it doesn't open.. it said cabinet file cannot be opened.

I must be one of the few Sims "relics" who has TS 1-- Base.. as in "Bob Newbie" and all that jazz..

I still have a game saved on an old desktop in my closet. A real beaut with an 800 MHz processor, Windows ME OS and all the fossils that go with it. But it played well... I just think I'd have a hard time going back to it.

Is Bob Newbie not in the complete collection? O; I hope he is. Bob and Betty gahh the memories.

I've never had troubles that way with games, I can easily play, say Harry Potter on PS1. I still appreciate the graphics and the gameplay, of course all the memories too. ^-^ but everyone is different, I can understand why it would be odd to go back and get back into again after all that time.

I had the original base as well. Idk what Miki means exactly, but Bob and Betty Newbie are the tutorial family :D The Newbies should be both in the complete collection. I don't have the cc, but I do have the Mega Deluxe (plus the rest of the expansions), and they're in that.

Yes, I have the base and the deluxe edition...my brother found Mega Deluxe on sale and it was cheaper than getting each expansion pack plus the deluxe content separately at the time.

I mis-spoke. What I should have written was that I feel like one of the few (who still plays -- as opposed to those who may have bought the base, decided it wasn't for them and shelved it, never to Sim again) who has the base and only the base.

Of course the tutorial would be in all editions. I was happy with that until my time for gaming dried up then into the closet it all went.

I probably threw everyone off when I went on the tangent of reminiscing about when I first booted up that game and was greeted by that tutorial. Since I never played anything like it before, it did as intended, teach a player how to play.

Bob never impressed me as the "greatest Sim of all time" (must have been the beard) ^_^
But he served his purpose.
