The Sims 1 Complete Collection installs and plays great on Win 10, but you do need to do a few things to get it working right. It's Win 10's security that's the problem. You have to make your installation folder and sub folders non-read only. If you don't, you get problems with choppy game play, and you'll have issues with any cc you make or install. So make sure you uncheck read only for the whole folder and subs. Next, you will need to make a new shortcut to the game. For the compatibility mode you can choose Win 7 or earlier. And make sure you check off to run as an admin. The game and any editing tools for it must always be run as an admin. And I do recommend a nocd for it. The last issue is, do not multitask while playing because when you hit the Windows button to exit to the desktop while the game is running, it screws up the video badly. You might have to use Task Manager to kill the game to exit out of it. If you just play and don't multitask, you should have a smooth running game. Check your cc with Skin Doctor from Parsimonous and get a GUID ID checker and you should be fine. Remember when adding bmp files to the game they must be in 256 color format. The game seems to only run in two video resolutions, you can experiment with the shortcut and try -w for window mode. Also, Tmog, if trying to clone objects, will often dump them in AppData/VirtualStore/ you have to get them out of there and put them in downloads. And make sure you run it as an Admin or it won't save recolors or anything.
