I wonder if it's because a lot of people can't install it on newer systems. They'd probably have to make some modifications to make it available. I think it would be an amazing gesture to the community to offer it.
I finally figured out the reason we can't install it on our newer computers. Sims original is like 16 bit? Most computers today are 64 bit. If they would change that one thing, I'm pretty sure I could get my game to play once again!
Recently, they made Theme Hospital, which would not run from disk, availabe. I have it. The download will run on my Windows 10, 64 bit computer. I suspect, if they did the same with the original Sims game, it would work as well. :)
You can make it run though, you just need to use some tricks :) kinda like you need to use dosbox to play the old jack jazz rabbits (which I think are even older than TS1). But I'm sure others have already explained how :) anyway I loved TS1 but I probably wouldn't be playing it anymore today even if I still knew where the discs are. I'd rather go back to 2 or 3 then (even if I will forever miss the chemistry table #RIPTS)
