I would so get behind this. I have all the disks (not the complete collection) on my old computer and still play. Having a digital version would be so much more convenient going forward! Also, it would be nice not to have to fight between securom and my anti-virus. Think how many people who know nothing of the origin of Sims could try out the best game ever!

Sims1 didn't have Securom (nor did any of its expansion packs or bundled packs). That particular copy protection program didn't get introduced into the series until one of the later packs for Sims2.

Although, I agree with you that having a digital copy would be so much easier for those of us wanting to play it again (I have my disks, but after two moves, they're not that easy to get to if I were wanting to reinstall. Plus, there's the issue of changes to hardware and operating systems alike).

I'd really love this happens and I would happily pay for it. I have the original game and exp packs, but some of the exp packs don't work, they are scratched because I've played too much :'( . I still play from time to time but I have to download some pirate and ready to play torrent. so yes, a digital copy of the whole collection would be awesome, so I don't have to waste time looking for pirate downloads, make it work etc

I don’t think they will because they’d be bogged down with reports of this or that not working. And besides why offer us an old game for free/cheap when they can continue to push the new stuff for premium price? Doesn’t make sense from a financial standpoint.

Then you know nothing about gamers, from a financial standpoint.

CYAN just completed a kickstarter for all of their old games, for just $247,000. They raked in over $2.8 million immediately.

All old games.

EA would be smart to revisit what started The Sims fanbase in the first place - and it would payoff for them, in the end.

It would be nice if it was updated to 1080p 16:9 tho

I agree there. But the graphics are part of their charm.

The graphics and movements of the sims 1 does make it feel like you are playing with a dollhouse (in a good way).

> I know this is silly to ask but please please please please bring the Sims 1 game to Origin it has been 18 years since we started to play it and I well miss it so much I have all of the disks of the Sims 1 and I can install it just fine but to play it my computer is like Nope not going to happen I just really miss playing Sims 1 the game that got me hooked on the whole Sims series Can we please try to get it on Origin in the future so non Simmer who have never played the game play with a true Classic then go to Sims 2 3 and 4 to see what made us true Simmers? This is my Only wish right now is that we bring the Sims 1 back from Grim's hands and the shadows and bring life to a game that everyone that started out with has great memories of playing. When I got the Sims 1 base game I played for 33+ hours and I killed off Bob on accident and I was ready to give up the game but I didn't I stayed with it and I'm still going to stay with my Sims no matter what they have my heart. Thank you Sims team and EA for making a Great Series with the Sims!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I agree with you, is necessary bring The sims 1, for Origin.

This would be pure heaven for me, I'd love to be able to play the original sims again (darn Windows 10), such happy memories. I've been playing sims games now for 15 years, I started with The Sims Deluxe edition while recovering from a transplant op back in 2003; and here I am, a grown man still playing with (electronic) dolls houses. Though unlikely it's not beyond possibility; I noticed the other day that Origin has the original Populous for download, I used to play that back in the 90's, so if that can be in there...well who knows. :)

I would love if they brought the original Sims Complete Collection to Origin! I had about 1gb of custom content downloaded that followed me through 4 computer upgrades but somehow got lost during the 5th one :( But I still love playing the game from time to time and I have so many happy memories of the game.

I still play Sims 1 in a virtual machine running XP. This is a still a great idea tho. Hey EA, we aren't asking for support or anything - we are SIMMERS - we know how to help each other and we do. All we need is access and we'll take it from there, eh?

I have never played the sims 1. I would love for them to bring it to origin. They probably can take a similar model to what they did with sims 2. Although I think sims 1 and 2 should be publicly available rather than limited to those who had that code.

Guys, the sims 1 complete collection works perfectly fine on windows 10.
anyway, I'd like to buy it digital again. Gog/steam or origin..
