This is just like the original Sim City - except that the time flies! A year in the game takes about a minute or two on the slow speed. If you have any of the disasters turned it is difficult to keep up with the development of the city while trying to stop it from being destroyed. Unfortunately, this takes a lot of the enjoyment out of the game. The Sims was the first game in the series. Developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts, it was released for Microsoft Windows on February 4, 2000. The game used dimetric projection and featured open-ended simulation of the daily activities of one or more virtual persons ('Sims') in a suburban area near SimCity. The Sims 3 is a high quality game that works in all major modern web browsers. This online game is part of the Simulation, Emulator, and Nintendo DS gaming categories. The Sims 3 has 346 likes from 512 user ratings. If you enjoy this game then also play games The Sims 2 and The Sims. The Sims Original free download - Original Unreal Tournament demo, The Sims 2 Update, The Sims 2 University Update, and many more programs.

this installation process worked just fine for me. only hiccup was i had trouble drag+dropping the cracked sims.exe file into my program files, and i had to specifically use the 'move to' option at the top of the finder window.
anyway, the game loaded in ok! but the hud is doing something funky. my sims portraits were blank in create-a-sim, and then when i moved the family into the house and started furnishing, the pop up descriptions of the items would blink out AND the portraits of each item was blank. so i literally had to hover each item i could afford (which means no hope telling what those expensive items are) and guess what the comfort and decorative stats were.
i went to save the game and exit, so i could restart the game and see if that hiccup was just a one-off, but now my game's frozen. i might ctrl+alt+del and start up the game again, but i don't even want to think about looking for the missing portrait files or trying to mess with the buy-mode pop-ups. i didn't even get to really test the gameplay aspect! whew.
if anyone's experienced similar problems, lmk! altho thank you for providing a copy of the sims to begin with. the music alone was a delight to hear again.

Well, this allright but can you make it so you can accutally play it please? I would really appreciate it!

Found a solution: go into the setup folder of the ISO and run setup.exe (If you tried to run start.exe beforehand, make sure to kill the process in task manager as it will still run in the background, it just won't open anything)
Floyd2020-09-041 point
The Start.exe does literally nothing. Tried all of the compatibility modes, and nothing. It shows up in task manager, but nothing actually happens. So I can't even install the damn thing, let alone anything else after.

This is a mac iso we need a windows iso
Jeb2020-07-120 point
I have downloaded it but where should I extract it? is it in the download section? or it is going to be in the ISO?? Then where should I start? is it going to be the the start.exe or setup.exe in order to start the installation?? I clicked both it still won't work, can you pls give me step by step procedure for this since im not used to ISO.
Jeb2020-07-121 point
I never used ISO before, do you have step by step for this to install??

Uploaded a new ISO, should work
The Definitive Patsy Cline2020-05-180 point
I dunno why Deo is getting downvoted. Its not rocket science. Don't install ANY older game to Program Files. Make a C:Games or D: Games directory and install there. 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.
Cloudy2020-05-040 point
Can't get it to launch even after changing the compatibility mode and running as administrator. Any advice?
Question Man2020-04-260 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?
-=DEO=-2020-04-16-4 points
Who the hell is installing games to the ProgramFiles directory? It's 2020, in the '90s it was ok, after 2000 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. BTW after that the backup reinstall just took 5-10 mins with my games register files (games installed on D:).
Natalie2020-04-154 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. https://youtu.be/ZtBQCtLnFKc

To let you know,this will be VERY HARD to setup
Exsosus2019-12-051 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!

how do you get it working on windows 10
Hestia2019-07-097 points
This is a terrible download. Only one neighborhood exists and the original households (Goths / Newbies) are gone! Avoid at all costs. Fake complete collection download.
sgwedge2019-06-251 point
if this download works then ill be buzzin la
Tom2019-06-014 points
I don't get it. I installed but I can't find a single EXE to launch it..
realGhostMop2019-03-21-3 points
Can't install from disks without disk readers, downloading to use the valid cd-key from my copy.
drfrag2019-02-242 points
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.
Dude2019-02-062 points
Where is the key??
Quil the Great2019-01-171 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!
tjonmaxx2019-01-120 point
Hello, this game will not work on win 7+.
to resolve this. once installed go to crack folder
in cd and replace 'sims' in c drive. game will now run and run without disk.
mrpenguinb2019-01-071 point
For problems with the game's performance, use a DirectDraw wrapper.
The PCGamingWiki article tells you how to install the DirectDraw wrapper: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Sims#Low_frame-rate_and_graphical_glitches
With the wrapper, alt+tab works perfectly fine with no graphical glitches.
underskyzx2019-01-060 point
Completely disable UAC or install in c:userspublic since it's considered 'public' no permissions issues with saves

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

kippie2018-08-120 point Amazon minecraft key.
It's taking a lonnnng time to install it's been maybe a few hours now (I already downloaded the file I'm having trouble INSTALLING it) and I'm concerned about others saying that there's save issues sooo how do I prevent save issues and am I having a problem installing or is this normal?
Katie2018-07-160 point
Will this work on a mac?
MysteriousCupcake2018-07-101 point
The audio only works on a computer they don't make anymore. But, if you get the full edition with all of the packs the audio will work
Battlefield1fan2018-07-03-10 points
This game is cool but when you play it now it now compared to all the other ones it looks and feels bad

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. (C:Program FilesEAGames) To fix this so Admin is not needed, you just install to a directory that doesn't require admin such as your Documents folder.

Always a save error regardless of what I want to save. What's wrong?

JJ2018-05-269 points
Solved my problem. If anyone else has problems with saving, just start the game by running it as an administrator.
JJ2018-05-260 point
The game runs, but wont save. Any idea's?
