THE SIMS : THE ORIGINAL .. PLEASE READ EA TEAM!!

I'm not sure if The Sims game producers read these forums but I sure hope they do!

EA!! Why not allow us to download the original THE SIMS -- where it all began back in 2000 ???
That game is gold and it's the key point to your legacy!!!

Why not keep the memory alive by keeping the game as a playable game?

I've personally been dedicated to the game since day one in 2000!!!

I've purchased ALL of the content that you guys have put out from The Sims down through to the current The Sims 4 !!
Us day ones would LOVE this and as loyal fans we deserve a way to play!!

I have a pc with CD rom but as most of us, am using windows 10 and the game installs, but it just will not run AT ALL!!

Please help EA !!! Make your loyal fans happy and allow a download for the game with a windows 10 conversion !!

Sincerely yours with love,
A DAY ONE fan !!! <3

    Thank you all for responding!!!
    I'm so happy to know I'm not alone..
    All of the original CDs (which I have) no longer work!!!
    I would also LOVE sims 2 as well!!!! 1 &2 were the BEST in terms of game play..
    I haven't heard of GOG before I wonder why EA hasn't signed over the rights then so people could play ?

    For me, with sims 3 & 4 .. I miss the whole VACATION pack I used to love that!
    Now its adventures ? which is cool... but not the same at all!

    I mean, even Starcraft in its original release is free to download despite the normally greedy Activision holding rights to it. I'd love to see The Sims 1 going free to download.

    I hope they do especially when switching to EA Desktop. I want them to make Sims 2 playable again too.


    This would be AMAZING if they put ALL of the versions accessible on EA desktop!!!

    Honestly I'm a sucker and would just REPAY for the games if I HAD to ?

    Yeah, that would be fun. I do have the complete original game, but it doesn't like my new computer

    Lucky you! I missed out on getting this and it's no longer available so a lot of us are just stuffed. :'(

    It would be nice if they would just make it available.

    You are right! It would be fantastic to see EA do the same thing with TS1. I'd pay for it but I'd obviously like free better!
