I got my ancient Windows desktop working yesterday, and while I was doing that found my old Sims disc! It was amazing playing that game again after so many years. I had forgotten how many of the Sims 4 features were actually in place in Sims 1. The music really made my heart sing. ❤️

Yay for you! I missed the Sims so much and my newer computer couldn't run it so my wonderful son bought an old Dell computer with XP on it so I could play it again! (I don't remember it being soooo hard!!) :smiley: I agree with you - the music does make a heart sing!! Have fun!!

I wanted to play TS1 a while back but I couldn't find my Superstar CD's, so I gave up. I love the music in that expansion.

Hoping I can get my old windows computer to work so I can play :)

I spent more time then I care to admit to get this game to work on my Windows 10 laptop. It really is still a fantastic game ❤

@Rouenpucelle I miss playing the classic! I regret letting my friend bend the disk awhile back. Otherwise, I'd have owned the whole collection by now.

I've also returned to the sims. Starting with The Sims 1, I will go through all of the series. There are still interactions i've not tried yet.
It's fun, I'm feeling childhood once again. :smile:

If you are lucky with your computer it is possible :)

How to make a dream come true:
Find an old XP machine. They are out there, it just takes time and persistence. I still have mine and it still runs faithfully after 20-odd years.
Get the disks. Last I knew ebay has oodles of them, along with the books. I consider those paper gems essential.
Set up, fire up, load up, and you're in Simvana.
