Back then, my computer chugged along trying to load the game. The start-up load took quite a while. I managed to install it recently for fun on a Windows 7 computer, and I laughed pretty hard. The start-up text didn't even have time to finish scrolling by before the neighborhood popped up, and pressing 3 to go into fast mode was complete insanity but so entertaining. Within seconds, many sim days had passed, there were potato chips all over the floor, flies everywhere, Sims waving at the fourth wall freaking out because they're tired, passing out on the floor, fires starting, the phone ringing off the hook....good times. Loading that game up is such a nostalgia trip, especially the music and the same several phrases the Sims themselves repeat in interactions.

> I installed TS1 on my Windows 7 computer back around 2010. I too, was amazed on how little the loading times were and how much smoother the game actually ran. I still play TS1 to this day. In fact, I played it last weekend.
Hi, do you ever update Windows 7? And if so what computer specs do you have? My game just keeps crashing over some NVIDIA Driver incompatibility or something.
This is after figuring out the whole update causing it not to run issue. I run original games - it's the only way. I wish I could play it without worrying about a crash.
My computer is overkill for running Sims 1. That game was designed to run on computers a lot slower than any computer made in the last 15 years or so. In fact, I had a E-Machine before this one that refused to run Sims 1. The specs were enough to run the game, but it just wouldn't run. The only thing I can think of for your computer is to try and update the NVIDIA drivers and see if you can run the game.
