If you’re worried, please do some more research on this before continuing! I honestly do not know how bad these risks are – for me, being able to run Sims 1 is worth it.

You’ll have to add the outdated safedisc/securom driver that is known to be a security risk, and start Windows in something called “test mode” that may introduce further security risks. You can get Sims 1 to work in Windows 10, but it won’t be a snap. But at least the game is quick to load and save!įeel free to ask me for help and I’ll do my best! You can always find me on the official Sims 3 forums or on Twitter! ^.^ So once your playing you can’t pause to tweet about Bella slapping Bob Newbie. I find that I can’t jump between windows while playing: the game will either freeze or the graphics will go all glitchy. Just remember to avoid the launcher and run the ‘Sims’ application as administrator each time. It seems to automatically follow the same destination as the base game, so you don’t need to worry about that. I installed all the expansions in the same way, by ignoring the auto-run, and running the installation by finding the ‘Setup_English’ file instead. Right-click the icon and choose ‘Run as administrator’. Open the ‘The Sims’ folder and find the application file simply called ‘Sims’ (for me it has a blue octagon shaped icon). Instead, open up the newly installed Maxis folder (which should be in C/Program Files).

Once everything is installed, DON’T use the launcher to run the game.

You don’t need to register the game, you can choose ‘register later’.

You can follow the installation as normal.

So it will have the destination ‘C/Program Files/Maxis’ (I just deleted the ‘(x86)’ bit). Follow the instructions BUT when it asks you to choose a location, change it from ‘Program Files (x86)’ to ‘Program Files’.

The installation process should have started.

Now, using Explorer, click on the disk, open the ‘Set-up’ file and double-click the file ‘Setup_English’ to run it (I guess you could choose any language).

Pop the base game disk into the drive but DON’T let it auto-run.At this point it might be a good idea to restart your computer, just to keep things tidy.I just deleted the whole Maxis folder, but be careful you don’t accidentally delete any other Maxis games that might share the file.

Then open up your files with Explorer and remove all traces of the game from C: Program Files and Program Files (x86).

First make sure any old installation attempts are completely removed! First, uninstall any old sims 1 games using the windows control panel.

Not one to give up easily when I’ve set my mind to something, I spent a lot time uninstalling, reinstalling, complaining, brandishing-a-screwdriver-at-my-laptop-in-a-simlike-menacing-fashion… until FINALLY something worked! I’m not quite sure what that something was, but let me talk you through the steps I took, and hopefully it will work for you too! ^.^ After spending a lot of time searching for help, the only advice I could find was to:
