Please make the Sims 1 available to buy on EA App for Mac and PC

@kafhudson , at this time EA/Maxis has no plans to remaster or re-release any of the previous Sims title (like The Sims, Sims 2, Castaway Stores, My Pets Stores or any of the console game versions). I have asked and been told that nothing is in the works.

This is a real shame and such a let-down for long-term fans of the game. I hope they will reconsider. Has anyone started a petition?

@kafhudson , Many petitions have been started to remaster older Sims titles and EA/Maxis is very aware of the desire for these games. However, Maxis has chosen to use their time, resources and money for other projects.

Hello, long time Simmer here, I have been a player of the game since the original Sims was released in 2000.

Whilst I love the Sims 4 (and 3, and 2) the OG Sims game holds the most nostalgia for me and I would love to be able to play it again legitimately.

I know I am not alone, as there are people all over the internet trying to get hold of the game.
I would pay good money for it too! If you could make the game run on PC and Mac OS!
Please please please, make the Sims 1 and it's expansion packs available to buy and play again.

It would make my inner child very happy and it would make you lots of money too - with so many people into vintage games wanting to play it!
I literally still have all my old disks of the game but would pay for every single one over again if it would run cleanly on Mac OS.

Maybe there could even be a series of nostalgia games from the millennium re-released?
Imagine a section in the EA app just for vintage EA games! You're sitting on a gold-mine that just needs re-formatting to sell again.

Thank you for considering making my, and so many others, dreams come true.
Comment if you're with me!

IMO, this would honestly be one of the best possible gifts in the world for those of us who have been loyal to EA games for nearly 25 years.

Yours,

Life-long Simmer x

Do you have an external disc drive? if you do, you could buy a used copy on eBay

Even though you can buy SimCity 3000 Unlimited

@pitthamb385 , if you have been active on this section as long as I have, I have seen TONS of petitions to bring the game back. I have asked and been told that there are no plans to bring these games back.

In regards to the original The Sims for the Mac OS, Mac players should contact Aspyr as they may or may not have the game code. The original game was ported to the Mac OS by a company called Westlake Interactive. I think (but am not 100% sure) they were either acquired by Aspyr or merged to become Aspyr. Yes, I am long time Sims player on the Mac and still have my original disks. I know for a fact that The Sims or Sims 2 disks will not run as they contain the code for an old chip no longer produced by Apple and will not work on newer Macs. Aspyr did port the complete Mac run of Sims 2 and that is the only digital version of Sims 2 still sold today.
