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.

I struggle to get Sims 2 to play ball on my computer, I imagine it would be worse with Sims 1. But it would be nice to have the option and have it in my library so they can all be together.

Well if they won't do it, they could at least allow GOG to do it, it's their speciality to get old games to work on modern systems. A GOG release would be fine too, I just want some kind of digital release that includes everything.

@Dannydanbo GOG = Good old games. I'm not sure what other kinds of games you're into (if any) but they have a bunch of classic games, you should check them out. Reasonably priced too. I've gotten a few classics I've loved before back because of them. :) They all run well and look great too! (As great as they can with the graphics as was the times ;) ) I would actually maybe prefer if they let GOG do it instead of themselves thinking on it more. I've never had any issues with crashes or graphics with GOG.

Good Old Games is pretty great yes, just a shame they started doing new games too and don't give an option to filter it to showing only the old games being made newly available.

The new ones I tend to have on steam save for the sims 4.
