I had huge troubles getting the game to go into full screen mode. Now it works! I hope this will help! At this point, use the shortcut on your desktop to start up the game. Once you select a home, move in a family, or zoom in, the game will go into full screen mode. You may also have some excess grey or black borders on the outer edges of the screen, but again, that will go away once you zoom in.
This is everything I did in order to get the game to work on Windows Like I said earlier, this may or may not necessarily work for you, but since it took me 3 hours to even get this game to work, I wanted to share in the event it helps you too!
For information on my PC specs, see here. Sign in. Log into your account. Its not rocket science. No need to faff about with disabling UAC which is a terrible thing to do from a security standpoint. Also, compatibility mode isn't enough to get this game to work.
There are multiple howtos and patches to get this game to work on modern hardware. Just googles "Sims 1 windows 10", the first link will probably be to a howto at SimsVIP, which is adequate.
Cloudy 0 point. Can't get it to launch even after changing the compatibility mode and running as administrator. Any advice? Question Man 0 point. I have an issue where moving in a family just puts me in buy mode and no sims are on the lot, any fix for this?
Who the hell is installing games to the ProgramFiles directory? It's , in the '90s it was ok, after not really. Win 98 was so unstable in the past I needed to use old NortonGhost 2floppy disc to made backup from a newly installed windows with media players, drivers and games. Natalie 4 points. Thank you for these uploads! I was having a bit of trouble getting it to run on my new laptop but turns out it is a super simple fix.
Now its running fast. This video helped me so thought I would share. Victor 1 point. I have the game downloaded but it only loads to 17 percent. Exsosus 1 point. Thank you very very much for this!! I will update the original Sims forum in here that they should download this edition instead to enjoy the DLC add-ons. Thank you community at Abandonware! DRU -1 point. Hestia 7 points. This is a terrible download. Avoid at all costs.
Fake complete collection download. Tom 4 points. Can't install from disks without disk readers, downloading to use the valid cd-key from my copy. Don't download, it's a custom shitty and extremely slow installer with missing stuff.
It's not the real complete collection. There's only one neighborhood and for instance the tutorial is not included. Dude 2 points. Quil the Great 1 point. Had some minor issues with the download, but apart from that, this game works perfectly!
There is, however, only one neighborhood but that doesn't make a huge different. The installer certainly takes a while, but once up and running on my Windows XP virtual machine it went perfectly. An excellent game overall! For problems with the game's performance, use a DirectDraw wrapper. AngryF2PReviews -8 points. MissBunny 20 points. When I make a family and attempt to move them into a home, the home loads but the family is never included and build mode is the only mode activated.

Battlefield1fan points. This game is cool but when you play it now it now compared to all the other ones it looks and feels bad. Deeman 10 points. The save error occurs because the game was designed during the windows 9x days which didn't have user level protections.
This is why you have to run as admin if the game is installed to the default location. JJ 10 points. Solved my problem. If anyone else has problems with saving, just start the game by running it as an administrator.
