Hi I recently updated my Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. I was able to run the game prior to the update. Despite my efforts contacting both Microsoft & EA Games no solution was found to my issue.
BioShock The Collection 1 & 2.pkg 26.08. BlazBlue Centralfiction (EUR) update.pkg 0.08. Peggle 2 CUSA00743 1.01.pkg 1.91. The Sims 4.pkg 10.18.
I uninstalled the game after being unable to access it after theupdate. When I open the setup in compatibility mode I receive an error stating 'setup is having a problem closing autoplay please restart your pc and try again' which I do and to no avail the message returns on each try.
There has to be a way to install andget this running on Windows 10. PLEASE HELP!!!!Game Info - The Sims Collection is the 4 cd set of the original The Sims game along with all expansion packs/bonus content. Hi,Thank you for being a part of Windows 10 family.As you are using the disc to install the game on your computer, this wont help you install the game in compatibility mode.
The only option here is to get a new set of discs that is compatible with Windows 10. Or else you may get the setup file and then installit in compatibility mode.You may also refer to the following Microsoft Help article to install programs in compatibility mode. Big l return of the devil son zip code. The steps for Windows 8.1 applies to Windows 10 as well.Please feel free to visit our website for any help with Windows Operating System. Basith M - Forum Moderator (Multiple Forums). I'm looking for the same solution.
I'm desperate to get this running and if I don't I'll have to revert my OS back to Windows 8.1.I didn't uninstall mine. I'm scared to. It will open the launcher but just does nothing when I choose screen resolution. There are no processes running related to The Sims so I'm assuming it just exits. I even tried downloading and installing the XP Modeprogram but it will only run on Windows 7. None of the compatibility settings make any difference, even though the game ran perfectly in 8.1.This is a deal breaker for me!!
I only use my laptop for 2 things and it's Sims 1 and school work. Seriously, this is bad!!!! Make this top priority! Put out a patch!! Yea I am not reverting back to Windows 8.1 just for this game. If Microsoft sees enough people complaining about this they will have to come up with a solution. I know I have went through a number of Sims Forums and see that many people still enjoy thisgame and want it to work on Windows 10.
Please Microsoft come up with a solution or at least get in contact with EA Games for some type of fix. I have contacted both support sides and both are an epic fail. Microsoft can you hear us? Please make The Sims CompleteCollection compatible for Windows 10! Hi, I found a solution for your issues.I had the same problem as you did while installing the game in Windows 7 - in my case, an Adobe process was clashing with the game setup.
I found that by coincidence after closing some adobe processes in the task manager and tried to install the game justafter. If you don't have adobe creative cloud, I suggest you try stopping every unnecessary process until the game installs fine. After the installation is complete and you just want to play the game, the process won't interfere any more.Next issue: Windows 10 is having a problem with old games in which it fails to verify if the game's original CD is in the driver, not opening the game. To fix that, you just need a mod to play the game without the CD. You can find it here:Instructions on getting it working:1.) Make sure you already have the game installed on your computer.2.) Go to:C Program Files (x86) Maxis Sims.
Rename the Sims.exe to sims.old. Make sure you keep this file in case the new one doesn't work.3.) Download the file and move the new Sims.exe to the same folder (:C Program Files (x86) Maxis Sims).4.) Launch, run the game in compatibility mode if necessary.UPDATED:Next issue (solved): Windows 10 is making playing this game a complete nightmare. Errors when saving the household, video bugs, etc. To solve the problem, simply right clickon the Sims.exe file and click properties. In the properties window, select compatibility. I chose Windows 7 and to always run it as an administrator. The game is working 100% fine.
So happy!Hope this helps! You will probably have to wait forever. Playing old games that are no longer supported by the current operational system is the last of Microsoft's priorities right now, and EA Games has completely abandoned customer and tech support for The Sims 2 - imagineSims 1!Again: the compatibility mode changed to Windows 7 and always open as admin will fix your in-game bugs. Totally different issue from the one you're having.Your issue can be solved by doing what I said before. I didn't come up with it, I found it here: decided to take a shot and trust the user who shared this, and already scanned the file. No malware whatsoever and the game is working perfectly.
I understand if you don't want to risk it, but you are definitely missing out!Keep me posted on the issue! I found a fix!!!I didn't give up searching for a solution, and I came across this forum:problem turned out to be something to do with a copy protection feature called SafeDisc. Windows 10 does not support programs that use SafeDisc. More on that here:solution is to bypass the use of the disc. Here is what plumbobthief posted (follow his instructions carefully):'Installing the mod that bypasses the disc and running the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2 fixed the problem for me. A modified Sims.exe to do this can be found here:have uploaded it to Google Drive, as the website I found it on was a bit sketchy. I scanned it with my anitvirus and it came up normal.
Google Drive also scans anything you upload with it's antivirus, but regardless use at your own risk. Please note thatthis is not a link to a pirated version of the game, just a fixed Sims.exe that will allow the game to launch on Windows 10.
I own the game and installed it on my computer via the installation disks. Obviously you will have to own the game too for this towork.Instructions on getting it working:1.) Make sure you already have the game installed on your computer.2.) Go to:C Program Files (x86) Maxis Sims. Rename the Sims.exe to sims.old. Make sure you keep this file in case the new one doesn't work.3.) Download the file and move the new Sims.exe to the same folder (:C Program Files (x86) Maxis Sims).4.) Launch, run the game in compatibility mode if necessary.5.) If it works, enjoy. If not, remove the new Sims.exe and change the old one to it's original name.Good luck.'
It worked perfectly for me. This is EXTREMELY frustrating. I upgraded to windows 10 over a month ago so I cannot revert back to windows 7 without buying a disk. Playing older games should Not be this difficult, it should be the opposite.
I thought downloading windows 10 would helpthings and speed them up, which it has EXCEPT playing games that I have had on my computer for years but I can no longer play because no in Microsoft thought enough to keep these available. I have tried the directions below but my antivirus wont allow it.Please make this a priority or make a patch so we can enjoy not just this game or the many others that fit in this category. Yea I haven't had luck with any of the suggestions on here thus far. I am waiting on an official patch or some type of assistance from Microsoft with this since I still have the CDs I want to be able to install from them since they seem to be theonly reliable version of this game I have come across. Hi Microsoft Support here's looking at you!If software is not compatible with Windows 10 and installing it in Compatibility Mode doesn't work then the only solution is for the software developers to provide compatibility updates.Microsoft has no responsibility; and what's more important has no legal right to provide updates or 'fixes' or 'patches' for 3rd-Party software.
That's one reason why Microsoft makes early releases of its OS available to hardware and software developersfor testing with their products. If developers choose not to update their software then your gripe is with them. MJA Windows Insider, Surface Pro 3, MacBook Pro (VirtualBox + Windows 10).
The Sims (sometimes referred to as The Sims 1, TS1, or Sims 1) is a single-player interactive life simulation game, developed by and published. In the game, players control the day-to-day lives of virtual people called '. Sims require direction, via mouse inputs, in order to have their needs met and live their lives efficiently.
Sims have a degree of, but not enough to be considered completely independent (and even this limited free will can be disabled). The residential lot that individual Sims or families call home can be upgraded both in terms of the structure and the furniture that occupies it.The Sims is a spin-off of the, and was created by SimCity creator and Maxis co-founder. The Sims was released on February 4, 2000, to wide critical acclaim and numerous awards. The success of the initial release led to the creation of a total of seven for the game, and ultimately led to the release of other games in the, including the sequel titles,. The base game itself has sold more than 16 million units, and was at one time the, until it was eclipsed by The Sims 2.
Contents OverviewStrictly speaking, there is no primary objective to The Sims; it is open-ended and players are free to decide for themselves what constitutes success or failure. The game does, however, have plenty of clear secondary objectives, such as career and relationship success, although there are no set rewards for this.
The player will need to make his or her Sim successful in many ways. Players must fulfill their need to sleep, eat, and so forth, just like real human beings. They will also need to find a job, be promoted, or even marry other Sims so that one can have a successful family life.The architecture and the artificial intelligence system have both been praised by players. Players will need to build a well-designed house and put in different objects to fulfill the Sim's needs. Sims can only interact with the objects in their house. A player can control a maximum of eight Sims at a time; the Sim currently being controlled can be identified by the over its head.OriginAfter suffering a that burned away all his possessions, was forced to find a new home and rebuild his life. It was this experience that inspired him to think of a game that simulates life, linking his ideas with the series he had developed.

In 1993, he proposed the idea to but they rejected it, believing that computers at the time could not handle such a game. In 1995, he proposed it again to EA Games.
This time, it was accepted. EA Games initially named it Project X, however for a short while it was called Dollhouse but after realizing that it would be hard to market to young males it was renamed to The Tactical Domestic Simulator and eventually renamed it The Sims in 1997. Promotions for the game were first seen on the installation CD.GameplayIn The Sims, there is no primary objective or goal to achieve, and instead of fulfilling objectives, the player is encouraged to make choices and engage fully in an interactive environment. This has helped the game successfully attract casual gamers.
The only real objective of the game is to organize the Sims' time to help them reach personal goals and succeed to the best of their ability.Create A FamilyIn the beginning, the game offered players pre-made characters to control, as well as the option to create more Sims. Creating a Sim consists of creating a ' (identified by a last name) that can hold up to eight members. The player can then create Sims by providing the Sim with a first name and optional biography, and choosing the (male or female), skin complexion (light, medium, or dark), age ( or ), a specific head and body (bundled with a specific body type and clothing), and a (from among Neat, Outgoing, Active, Playful, and Nice.). The player cannot change a Sim's face, name, or personality once they have been moved onto a lot. However, a player can edit a Sim's biography by holding down the ^ Ctrl key and clicking on the Sim's face's thumbnail.Building/Furnishing A HouseEach family, regardless of how many members are in it, starts with a limited amount of cash (20,000) that will be needed to purchase a house or lot, build or remodel a house, and purchase furniture.
All architectural features and furnishings are dictated by a tile system, in which items must be placed on a square and rotated to face exactly a 90 degree angle with no diagonals permitted. And go on the edge of a 'square' and can be diagonal, whereas furniture and Sims take up one or more squares and cannot be diagonal. There are over 150 home building materials and furnishings for purchase in the base game.The player can purchase several objects for Sims such as televisions, showers, beds, and fridges, each of them has a purpose which ranges from fulfilling a certain need or raising a skill or simply being decorative. Each item takes up a number of tiles on the grid and can be rotated to meet the players desires.
All items are pre-rendered.Controlling SimsSims are controlled by instructing them to interact with objects, such as a television set, a dresser, or another Sim. Sims may receive house guests, which are actually based on the game files of other Sims in the neighborhood. The player cannot control 'visiting' Sims, although it is important for Sims to interact with one another in order to develop a healthy social life and gain popularity.Sims have a certain amount of free will (if it is enabled in-game), and although the player can instruct them to do something, Sim characters may decide to do something else, or simply ignore the player's commands.
Unlike the simulated environments in games such as SimCity, SimEarth, or SimLife, the Sims are not fully autonomous. They are unable to take certain actions without specific commands from the player, such as paying their. Thus, if left alone without any player supervision, the Sims will eventually develop overdue bills and their property will be repossessed.The inner structure of the game is actually an agent-based artificial life program.
The presentation of the game's artificial intelligence is advanced, and the Sims will respond to outside conditions by themselves, although often the player's intervention is necessary to keep them on the right track. The Sims technically has unlimited replay value, in that there is no way to win the game, and the player can play on indefinitely. It has been described as more like a toy than a game. In addition, the game includes a very advanced architecture system. The game was originally designed as an architecture simulation alone, with the Sims there only to evaluate the houses, but during development it was decided that the Sims were more interesting than originally anticipated and their initially limited role in the game was developed further.LimitationsThere are some limitations to, most notably that while newborn do eventually become, they will never grow up to become without expansion packs or hacks. Also, adult Sims never age (or of old age), and there is no concept of weekends.
For example, adults and children are expected to go to work and attend school, respectively, every day. In particular, adults receive a warning if they miss one day of work, but they are fired if they miss work for two consecutive days. Children can study at home to keep their school grades up, but if their grades drop too far they will be sent to and will never be seen again. Sims also have path finding issues such as not being able to walk past chairs, walking on paved or carpeted surfaces even if it means taking the long way, and getting stuck in doorways if another Sim is coming in/out from the opposite direction.NeedsThe player must make decisions about time spent on fulfilling the needs of the Sims, these are;,. These needs are filled by activities in the daily agenda of the Sims such as using the toilet and eating food from a fridge. If the simulated humans do not perform the proper amount of maintenance, they will sicken. Not fulfilling these needs has other negative side effects, for example if a Sim has lowered their energy need they will pass out where they stand which will lower their need, and if they pass out in a swimming pool they will die.
Furthermore, Sims need to have; if they don't, the fun level bar eventually lowers and they become depressed, but however depressed they become, they are unable to commit suicide (they are not programmed to do so). They are, however, able to be nasty to other Sim characters by insulting them, slapping them, and even attacking them. This has more to do with their relationship score than their mood, though.

Sims in a bad mood are more likely to ignore player input and autonomously seek an activity that will increase their mood. For example, if a Sim's fun level bar is too low, they may refuse to look for a job or pay the bills and instead sit and watch TV.Careers and financesIn the beginning all families have a §20,000 limit to buy a house or build and furnish a house from scratch. Money can be gained by sending the Sims to find and going to work and earning promotions by fulfilling the required skills and gaining friends, if a Sim has missed work for a day they will receive a warning from their place of employment, if they miss the next day they will be fired.
Additional money can be gained if a is getting A Grades in school and their relatives will give them §100, or alternatively if a Sim has the creativity skill they can paint paintings and sell them for money. Bills have to be paid occasionally and failure to do so results in the repossessing some of the household's items.SchoolChildren need to attend school every day as there is no concept of weekends in the game. Children will need to study at home and go to school with a good mood in order for their grades to go up; this has advantages because relatives will occasionally call children up and give them §100 for having very high grades. However, if a Sim has F Grades in school for seven consecutive days they will be sent to military school, thus erasing them from the game forever, never bringing them back again.FailureWhile there is no eventual objective to the game, states of failure do exist in The Sims. One is that Sims may die: Types of include starvation, drowning, perishing in a fire, electrocution, and by (contracted from a pet guinea pig, which can happen when its cage is left dirty).
In this case, the of the deceased Sim may haunt the building where it died. In addition, Sims can leave a household for good and never return: Two adult Sims with a bad relationship may brawl, eventually resulting in one of them moving out of the neighborhood forever; babies can be removed by a if they are neglected, and child Sims can be banished to if their school grades remain at an F for several consecutive days.
Although considered states of failure, many players occasionally deliberately mistreat their Sims to observe the reactions and for entertainment. This can be done with no consequences if the game state isn't saved.Notes. The Sims runs on Windows 2000, Vista, 7, 8/8.1 and 10 despite being unsupported. The Sims is known to be glitchy on Windows 10; only has been observed to install without problems.
The game can be run in both fullscreen and windowed mode, although switching away from the game in the former has been known to freeze the game or cause heavy graphical corruption.

If this is not done, the game will not run correctly as it cannot save progress, resulting in issues such as the expansion pack installation looping endlessly. The Sims uses a combination of 3D and 2D graphics techniques.
The Sims themselves are rendered as high-poly-count 3D objects, but a house, and all its objects, are pre-rendered, and displayed isometrically.
