Who's still playing the Sims 1 from time to time?

@SPARKY1922 I hope you get the call tomorrow! Can I ask where you are downloading the guides from? I'm missing two.

Hi @Goldbear86

I have downloaded ( well copied and paste on words docs) some info from the following site but I am not sure if they are any good yet or all there...

Thank you very much @SPARKY1922

@Goldbear86

You are very welcome I am hoping a few of us can keep this thread going with our stories of 1 because there is so Little out there now and I was so pleased to find other players as I felt I was going to be alone in cyber space somewhere playing a game no one else cared about much-)

I have really appreciated everyone stories and input on this thread it has kept me going while I am waiting to get up and running and yesterday looking through those game guides I was amazed as just how much there is to do :)

I have lots of stories lol I post pics on my Twitter, not sure how to put them on here.
I'm glad I found this thread:-)

There's so much to do, even I haven't covered all the bases, I'm not overly familiar with makin Magic. I know it, just don't know it like the back of my head. The amount of detail in each pack is outstanding. I was shocked when I was looking at all the different careers.

When my husband got The Sims and all the EPs working on my pc, I was so happy. For me it was like the equivalent of EA announcing toddlers! I love it all, the music, the detail, the depth of the sims behaviour it's amazing!

@Goldbear86

I am grateful for this thread too :)

I don't have a twitter account if you uploaded them would I still be able to look at them?

I think maybe I jumped the gun buying an older laptop with the right specs to play and wished I might have spent a little more time trying to get it right ( but I did spend a very long time trying to fix it-) so am wondering what OS you are using and how you husband managed to get it working properly for you?

After my initial install on 7 OS the graphics were fine apart from the sim itself and while I understood graphics were not going to be perfect I was sure they could be better and I knew I would not be able to play properly until I resolved it but nothing I tried worked and it really saddened me to uninstall at the time and try and forget it because I knew it was going to be another 3 months of saving up for a desktop upgrade before I could sort out what I was going to do about 1 and now that time is here I thought at least if I get it running on a laptop to play wherever I go I can at least take one sims game with me lol

My fear is after spending money on this laptop it won't work on that either and I will go insane :)

and speaking of laptops no sign of it today either and tomorrow is day 5 which is the last day my tech said it would take so I keep trying to put off being excited in case it's not tomorrow either :)

@SPARKY1922 You should be able to view my twitter. 99% of my tweets are sim related :p. Am I allowed to share my Twitter? I will see if I can work out how to upload pics. (Tech noob here)

I have Windows 10, my husband got it working by running it as an admin in compatibility mode. He had to tweak it a fair bit so will ask him if that's all there was to it. He couldn't get it to work under Windows 8, but he could on his pc on Windows 7! There's a lot go help on this board for getting the game to run too.

I hope your laptop arrives sooner rather than later!
