Sims 1 Complete on Origin would be great. I re-bought it a few days ago because one of the discs on my original copy stopped working. To my pleasant surprise, it was much easier to install on my old Windows 8.1 laptop than I expected (I had way more trouble getting 2 to work on there!). I ran it in compatibility mode, right-clicked to run as administrator and that worked a charm. I also did the no CD patch simply to preserve the discs and it's worked nicely. Only thing is, that particular laptop has a really annoying habit of exiting out of games at random which is causing my game to freeze. Running it in windowed mode will probably fix that (I use a Mac primarily so I'm not really an expert).
It definitely is a bit on the tricky side to run on modern machines, I think they could only justify it by giving it away like they did with 2. You just know that there'd be a slew of complaints from people and not even EA would want to risk that, I'm sure. Sims 1 is definitely worth the trouble though, it's delightfully weird and wonderful. Amazingly, so many of the old CC sites are still up! I've had great fun going onto the same sites that were far too powerful for my old computer with dial up internet on back in the day.
