I would love it, I have all the sims 1 expansion packs. They worked perfect on my fiancé's PC before he upgraded to Windows 10. Now they don't :'(
I had 10 for about a week until I rolled back to 8. Pretty much everything ran oddly or not at all on it. 8 may not be the most popular windows either, but at least everything worked.
Yeah this topic is old but ahhhh Windows 8 lol. I hated it from the first time I tried it, 10 on the other hand, I actually like a lot. Even if it requires a bit of searching & testing to get some things to run (which in Windows 8, I felt you always just had to use desktop mode for, because in this horrifying app mode, I couldn't get anything to run easily, or the way I felt it should :D). But then, I still have 7 on my pc lol. It's the Windows rule, isn't it? One good, one bad, one good, one bad. So by all estimations, stay away from Windows 11! :dizzy:
On topic: the reason Origin doesn't really offer support for 1 is because you'd have to use tricks to get it to run on newer computers (just like you have for all PC games from that time). Then the other reason they don't fully support 1 and 2 isn't because they're oblivious to the sales they might be making (but then again: what can you really still charge for such old games??) but for the same reason you sooner or later will have to update to a newer Windows version as well - they remove support primarily because they want to earn money on the newer versions :) sometimes, the success of newer things is partly ensured by making older ones disappear.
