Ah okay.
But yeah, Sims 1 is a very old game and running it on Windows 10.. there is obviously going to be an issue there.
Come back to this topic if you are having more issues :)
Well, I can't get the launcher to come back at all. I really wanted to try the original but I guess it's okay. My cousin got it really cheap at Goodwill and gave it to me since he doesn't play Sims. I just wanted to use it as a tester as I was planning to buy the Complete Edition if this base game worked. At least I know now that it doesn't so I won't waste my money. I still have an old time computer down stairs so maybe I'll give it a go.
You have to remember, the Sims 1 base game came out in 2000 - people were still running Windows ME. By the time Sims Complete Collection was out, people were running XP and Vista. So the Sims Complete Collection has a better chance of installing on Windows 10 than the Sims 1 base game. (I still have both the base game I bought in 2001 and the Sims Complete Collection that I bought as a backup, in storage. As soon as I figure out which box they are in, they are coming out of storage.) In the meantime, you might pay a visit to CTO Sims, a Sims 1 fansite with forums, and ask there about how to install Sims 1 on Windows 10. I recall seeing instructions there, but you have to register on the site to read the forums.
I was reading the collection seemed to work better too but I'm just a little hesitant since most EBay sellers of stuff like that don't do returns. I'll definitely check out that site though so thanks!
