Likewise, many Games for Windows LIVE titles also didn't work since the GFWL clients included with the games were incompatible with Windows 8.
For example, The Sims Medieval didn't work on Windows 8 since the copy protection used wasn't compatible with said OS, this was fixed in December 2013 but this added the Origin sign-in requirement. Games that do have a download version will work while the CD version will not but as of August 2016, there's no official download version of The It's not the game that's the problem, the problem is that the copy protection isn't compatible (see above paragraph for why TS1 doesn't work). This also applies to games like SimCity 4 and Syberia which also use SafeDisc although it's important to note that Windows 10/KB3086255 will only block the CD version of SimCity 4 since the download versions from Origin, GOG, and Steam do not include SafeDisc. I'll definitely check out that site though so The Sims uses SafeDisc which is not supported in Windows 10 as well as Windows Vista through 8.1 with KB3086255 (said update blocks SafeDisc). I was reading the collection seemed to work better too but I'm just a little hesitant since most EBay sellers of stuff like that don't do returns. I recall seeing instructions there, but you have to register on the site to read the forums. As soon as I figure out which box they are in, they are coming out of storage.) In the meantime, you might pay a visit to CTO Sims, a Sims 1 fansite with forums, and ask there about how to install Sims 1 on Windows 10. (I still have both the base game I bought in 2001 and the Sims Complete Collection that I bought as a backup, in storage. So the Sims Complete Collection has a better chance of installing on Windows 10 than the Sims 1 base game. By the time Sims Complete Collection was out, people were running XP and Vista. You have to remember, the Sims 1 base game came out in 2000 - people were still running Windows ME. I still have an old time computer down stairs so maybe I'll give it a go. At least I know now that it doesn't so I won't waste my money. I just wanted to use it as a tester as I was planning to buy the Complete Edition if this base game worked.
My cousin got it really cheap at Goodwill and gave it to me since he doesn't play Sims. I really wanted to try the original but I guess it's okay. Well, I can't get the launcher to come back at all. there is obviously going to be an issue there.Ĭome back to this topic if you are having more issues But yeah, Sims 1 is a very old game and running it on Windows 10.
