    This is my windows I use. I installed it and when I wanted to play it, it automatically changed some colours to be compatable and when you exit the game it changes back. I love playing sims, can't wait to see your pics :mrgreen:

    Mcrudd, I think you've started a Sims 1 uprising! :lol:

    I was tempted to look for the game over at Amazon and eBay, but I'm trying to resist. I still have dragons running amuck in Skyrim that I need to get back to--not to mention exploring all the new Sims 3 content I've recently installed!

    But what fun this thread has been. :D

    LOL I think so too, but the more sims 1 players the better, I just love sims 1. I think this thread is going to start getting interesting with all the new/old sims 1 players :mrgreen:


    Yay so I am pleased as chips with my Goth family from Sims 1 for Sims 3. What do you guys think?

    Hey mcrudd, do you know of a way to play in windowed mode? Or does it have to be full screen? I don't even have a windows button because I'm on windows 8. Geez, would windowed even work? WASD doesn't move the camera.

    I play in windowed mode. You have to make a shortcut of the game on your desktop. That will be the one you always click on to load your game. Then you Right click on that icon and go to properties in the target (usually highlighted) you will see this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\The Sims\Sims.exe" all you do is add a space and -w next to that so its like this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\The Sims\Sims.exe" -w click on apply and then ok and exit. Now double click on the icon and it should load in windowed mode. Its nice if you want to not exit your game and check the forums. To move the camera you just click and drag exactly like when you play sims 3 only thing is screen does not rotate, you have to click rotate and zoom as well does not work with the mouse, never has LOL that is sims 1 for you :lol:

    It will look like this when you play :mrgreen:

    You have started the craze again haha! And so glad you did! I had every single one of the 1st sims but now I have to re-buy. I let a family member borrow mine to install and try and they broke it!

    But now I defiantly know its possible, eek can't wait. They are by far the best in the series for me. Pics to follow.

    Also just for future reference, is it possible to put it on windows 8?

    Yay! I've always hoped they would re-release the exact same versions but updated graphics, not as a new series or anything, but maybe more of an celebration anniversary thing.

    That's ok, just curious. My laptop is getting old and what not. I think i'll see if its fixable, might be cheaper than a new one! haha

    I have been lurking in this thread and it is making me think how happy I would be if Sims 4 was a remake of 1 as far as characters, objects, Magic Town, vacation destinations, Studio Town, and general character and cheekiness. I love the original game so much.

    Mcrudd, I absolutely LOVE your remake of the TS1 Goths! I may have to copy them :D
    Thanks for starting this thread; I have really enjoyed your pictures and I hope more people start posting, too!

    Racherz if you look at some of our store content, I would say sims 1 is in our store content makers minds as well LOL. I love the sims 1 music, and its different in every neighbourhood you visit as well, my favourite is studio town music :)

    Hi simmerolivia thanks for posting and coming out of your learking LOL. I think it would be awesome if we could play sims 4 with sims 4 graphics, I would just like us to keep our open worlds though, it loads fast in sims 1 but I think if it had to load each neighbourhood in sims 4 it would take up a lot of gaming time. I would love especially studio town and magic town and all of the downtown interactions in sims 4. Thanks for liking my sims 1 Goths, they seem popular had 50 downloads overnight :D

    I do hope more people will share their sims 1 pics, that would be awesome, I would love to see how others play as well :)

    Oh I definitely agree; before I got TS3, I really didn't think the open world would matter to me all that much. Now, I don't want to give it up. I'd at least like to see an open-immediate-vicinity with some community lots, even if the game would have a loading screen going to other parts of the world. Kind of like how Sims 2 had parks in the main neighborhood.

    Also, I didn't realize the Goths were on the exchange; totally missed that. 50 downloads in a matter of hours, That's awesome! I might give you another one before I load up my game tonight :)
