The first sims game can be finicky even on Windows 7. In fact the base game can't be installed on windows 10 and is officially not compatible with anything past 98 according to my jewel case for it. It will still install on windows 7 and therefore probably 8. Windows 10, however, seems to have rolled in a lot of the changes that prevent legacy software that were originally in Vista. I'm holding off on 10 for that reason (However I can report some people have it working -- just not in windowed mode but that may depend on your graphics driver). Let's just say that Sims 1 is a patchwork quilt of legacy technologies that nothing is really supporting well anymore.
Also getting Homecrafter to run on even Windows 7 is an exercise in computer sciences.
The best tip is to NOT install it into a program files folder but instead C:\TheSims or something.
