  • Just an update to using this link. I have two sims 1 games meaning all cds installed meaning I have two same game but two different play set ups. I got one to work but it was really an earlier install and play of the game. I have tons of mods but I am not sure now how to install them into this older game play. In my second…
  • Rukola_Schaaf, Yes I have. I also gave it the admin permission but nothing is working. Still a total black screen with a big mouse pointer. When I think of this It tells me video problem. For some reason I do not think my video driver is compatible with my sims games Plus when looking in to the programs it is all stated…
  • I hear you Kateness, Kateness I am happy you got your game up and running and can play. I would do the video card driver updates when needed back in the day. Windows 7 pro gave me a Microsoft video drive so I never did updates anymore. It got to the point that on Ati/amd site that my cards where no longer listed and if…
  • Hi Cororon, I intend to that too. I will be buying two new computers one a desk top and one a laptop. Unfortunately I will be buying them both at the same time. I just have not found a good gaming computer yet. Desk top or laptop. Plus I too want a clean install of windows 10. I am however sorry to say that windows 10 is…
  • Good Morning everyone, First off thank you all so much for replying back to my post. Where do I start. 1. Simasaurus09 yes according to Microsoft it met the requirements. the first check I did it said my video cards would be an issue. I waited it out then did another check and it said I was good to go. That is good that…
  • Oh my goodness. It worked I now have sims1 back. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Now if I can only get sims 2 and three to work. This is awesome thank you so very very much. Your Simmy friend, Winterloc
  • Hi all, Yesterday I installed Ultimate Collection on windows 10 pro upgrade and it did not work for me. I still get the black screen and music playing and a big old mouse pointer. Then when I ctrl Alt Deleted out I got the picture of the neighborhood screen. So for me I am out of the sims game. Hope you are successful in…
  • HI Jinx23, I want to say I loved your story and yes it reminds me of Brandi Broke. I really want to tell you that your pictures are stunning. I love how your sims 2 characters look so 3 Dimensional. I can see every bit of detail in the bricks on the wall of the house the flowers your sims. Beautiful. I do not think my sims…
  • Sorry for your lagging troubles with windows 10 and the sims2. I installed windows 10 too. I no longer can play any of my sims games 1,2,3. So I am really out of the sim game. I do not know what to do to get it to work. I wish I did cause I would be posting it up here in the forum. I see some have it working with no…
  • Yup I should have waited it out too. It is with all three series 1,2,3. sims 1 I only get the screen where you can make the choice of what resolution to play in. I can choose either one and nothing happens. Sims 2 I get a black screen and can hear the music but no picture. When I do a ctrl alt delete I get a quick flash of…
  • Thanks Simasaurus09 I found them. You are a Gem. I am having big problems playing all the games with the new windows 10. Microsoft gave me a basic video card driver and no drivers for my video controllers. I am only using one video and I cannot get to play any of the games. Sims 3 Origin says it does not recognize my video…
  • Hi all I noticed a lot of looker readers but no posters. Here is what I should have done and what you should do if you want to play your games and if you have windows 7 and you have a 500 gig hard drive or better. If you have not done your windows 10 up date yet. Do your self a favor and do a duel boot set up. That…
  • Hi Seera1024, Good to see you here :) I agree totally with what you are saying about the Operating system. Ea will have to step up to the plate with updates for windows 10 so that we could play the sims game. It will be interesting. Oh I know what you are saying about not being that positive that is the reason for the Ha…
  • Hi all, I was just thinking the same thing Sims 1,2,3 with windows 10. I have windows 7 pro went to the windows site after getting my icon on my taskbar about the free copy for 10. I did reserve my copy for this computer. I did read that not all features might work on already owned or earlier computers do to hardware etc.…
  • Hi all, I had a similar problem with my PG female sims. Their hair would go from long to short. It was maxis made sims 2 hair. I just thought that my PG sims went to the beauty parlor to have their hair cut so that they did not have to fuss with it when the baby came. That they would not have to wash it so much incase the…
  • Game of Thrones, Penny Dreadful, Outlander. Bitten, Lost Girl. When it returns DE Vinci Demons, Down ton Abby. In the past I watched Being Human, True Blood, The Borgia's it is gone only had maybe two seasons. I am sure there were others but it escapes me at the moment. :) Happy Simming, Your simmy friend, Winterloc
  • I totaly agree with what Anmirla says, Yes the coding never was designed to have the kids grow up until Makin Magic. The adult change is also random. Your cute little kid sim might not turn into a cute adult sim. Your simmy friend, Winterloc
  • Hi 1962Vampire, Edit: Into Teens?? I did not know about that for sims 1 back in the day. I know you can age them up to an adult. Here is some idea how to do that. If you have makin Magic and kids have their own wand charger Magico Neo Magical Newt and a charged wand. The Magico's Bookshelf of dimensional storage. Sims…
  • Hi all, I too set my season to fall to make the learning go by faster. I also have all my uni students have all their skills. they do their term papers and homework and go to class. All graduate with a 4.0. I have started using the tombstone of life and death. I got in a hurry with my 16 uni sims and used the golden apple…
  • Hi xbob18, I would think you could do either one or save any folder you like with in the EA folder. If you just want your neighborhoods you could just use an external device like an external hard drive or a usb thumb drive. I use an external hard drive for my saves/back up. I generally save/back up the whole EA file. The…
  • Oh Simasaurus09, Sorry to hear that. I think you are right could be something with windows 8.1. My hubby has it on his lappy. I really get very frustrated with that operating system. I like widows 7. I am waiting for windows 10 to come out. I am just concerned about my old sims games if they will work on that. I just thank…
  • Hi Simasurus09, How did you make out did you get your cc up and running? I love how you did your own computer build that is awesome. When I first read your post I thought the same as Ratsrbest. To use the game options and bulls eye the custom content option. That can be found in game options, The third one over that looks…
  • I am the same never really could get deep in to TS3, like 1 and 2. Me too seems like the only part of the forum I go too is here. Thanks for the compassion of my game loss. I had it up to 4 and 5 generations. My favorites Mortimer and Bella also from sims 1. I really miss her in sims 2. I know about adding her back. I…
  • Godlike, I never thought to do it as an excel sheet that is a great idea. I use to keep journals for all my sims games 1,2,3. Now it is just on bits of scrap paper lolo. I too like to play my customs hoods. I had The Sims City with all from sims 1 rebuilt and I had Mortimer and Bella as young adults and in college then…
  • GodLike, Dice what a great idea. I never thought of that one. Don Lothario as we know is a romance sim. For me his secondary is financial. When I am needing to make a decision and can not make up my mind. I but it to chance. I use a paper bag with yes, no and a blank piece of paper. Then I ask my should I question.…
  • Here is a little tidbit about Tombstone of Life and death. New Baby option. Baby falls from the sky on to ground. the baby is given a gender but no option for a name. Sim picks it up. Baby has no name and is not related to anyone in the family. I tried it out to see how it works. I did not save so the baby is gone. I guess…
  • I do not have any cc hair. I just use the maxis hair that is with the hair styles that come with the game. No I do not think that is weird.
  • Thanks for replying to my post about the cinecam baby. I thought that it was the same as adding New Baby. I was wondering if anyone had ever added a baby in via cinecam or if they played around with it like I did. Choose the option then not save. Or choose the option then save. The only options I did not have was to see if…
  • The thing I really disliked about the cow mascot was setting off the sprinklers in the dorms with his barbeque lighter. Then my sim would have to go and mop up all the puddles. Most times if I caught the cow at the front door I would have my sim go shoo her off.
