We have sims 2, 3 and 4 there. Why not Sims 1? It belongs there, it was the start of the journey and I'd still like to play it again but I lost half the discs. Also it's a pain to manually install all discs and having to look up patches which may not be officially around anymore. Or do they fear it just shows all the cool stuff they used to do with that game yet never did again? I like how sims 1 was more challenging, had some wild ideas, better magic and more negative consequences in general. It could also be pretty creepy at times and had some more mature themes that I seriously miss in later games.

I'm hoping they do this for the 20th anniversary. The Sims 1 is still my favorite in the series despite not having as many features, it just had a kind of charm they were never able to replicate.

All sims games have crashes, it's why we've learned to save every 20 minutes or so... ;) They would need to take time to make it Win10 compatible but I'm sure sales would make up for that cost. At the very least maybe they could put it on GOG. I'd say TS4 crashes the least for me. TS1 and TS2 sometimes just exit abruptly for no apparent reason. :grimace: I suppose they can just put it out there with a disclaimer that they can't guarantee anything. That way everyone sort of wins :joy:

As someone who does have a working copy of The Sims Complete Collection installed on his laptop, I'd say TS1 is more of a novelty these days. Playing some of the EPs is still pretty fun, but it's pretty much impossible to play without cheats because of the crazy fast relationship and motive decay. Good luck maintaining enough celebrity friends to rise as a star AND still have well-tended needs and hobbiesTS2 is still pretty manageable, on the other hand. And the best for rotational play :D

@Dannydanbo Just online I believe, but I could be mistaken. I've never ordered physical copies for ages from anywhere so honestly I haven't looked.

Sims 1 complete was brilliant.I miss that game so much but can't get it to work on Windows 10. I'd totally pay for it again if it was available on Origin.Everything about Sims 1 was fun. Vacations, magic, dating, pets, parties the lot! Magic town oh how much I miss that place :'( It was fun trying to get the rare ingredients for spells by doing stuff for the venders.

Please put the full sims 1 collection on Origin.

Yes! I'd buy this! I'd love to play TS1 again.

While they're at it, they could bring back TS2 also. Please! I missed out on that while it was Origin but I totally would've gotten it while it was available. I have most of the expansions here, but it's such a pain to get working on Win10 that I haven't bothered. I would actually pay to just download it compatible and not have the hassle.
