Please put Sims 1 back on Steam with all the skins and objects from prototypes!
Hi I grow up playing Sims! I am not interested in the sequels and only played the first game. I was wondering why EA still can't put Sims 1 back on Steam? This should already be a big demand! and look at Microsoft they managed to sell Age of Empires 1 on Steam so why not EA can't do the same?
We figured this had something to do with the DRM that prevent the game to run on newer Windows? or was there too much technical issues to fix? I remember all the way up to Complete Collection there was a issue never been fixed that always crash the game on buy and build modes even on the loading screen!
While those issues could be easily resolved by simply removing the DRM and make a patch to fix the cause of the crash, it seems like EA only wanted to move on to the future with Sims for the sequels and not stay in the past when you could give us more expansion packs with all of the content from prototype versions of the game put back into retail! and you only give us a coffee table that you removed from the base game?
We know Don Hopkins, Lucpix, and Mr Wright are currently holding prototype versions of Sims 1 but we're hoping you might still have backups of the builds they got somewhere in your own archives?
Its not really the prototypes we want, a new Steam release of Sims 1 with all the skins and objects from 1998 and 1999 prototypes put back together in the retail might be a more ethical and proper way to save back all those skins and objects you removed in the past as they are still considered lost until you guys might put them back into Sims 1 on Steam if you still have any way to access them in your archives somewhere.
I would be very happy and Im sure the Sims community will if you guys just bring back Sims 1 on Steam with all the content from prototype versions! Please make it happen if you can!
