Jul 30, 2015  If you run into any issues trying to play any of these, it’s most likely not a Windows 10 specific issue. As usual, your results may vary, but like Sims 2, these games actually run faster and smoother for me on Windows 10 than they did on Windows 8.1. I hope this has eased some of your uneasiness in deciding whether or not Windows 10 is for you. Can't run sims 1. I recently bought and installed the original sims 1 deluxe edition on my windows 10 computer. When I run the game nothing happens, unless I run it in 640x480 mode in which case my screen turns black for a few seconds then goes back to my desktop.

Hi, I found a solution for your issues.

How To Play Sims On Windows 10

I had the same problem as you did while installing the game in Windows 7 - in my case, an Adobe process was clashing with the game setup. I found that by coincidence after closing some adobe processes in the task manager and tried to install the game just after. If you don't have adobe creative cloud, I suggest you try stopping every unnecessary process until the game installs fine. After the installation is complete and you just want to play the game, the process won't interfere any more.

In general applications are smart enough to be backwards compatible, but not always. We were hoping to use SoftGrid as a means of running these various versions with low overhead and simplistic administration.I have heard rumors that the next version of SoftGrid will provide for some new features; such as being allowed to talk between bubbles, but who knows.Thanks.

Next issue: Windows 10 is having a problem with old games in which it fails to verify if the game's original CD is in the driver, not opening the game. To fix that, you just need a mod to play the game without the CD. You can find it here:

Instructions on getting it working:
1.) Make sure you already have the game installed on your computer.
2.) Go to :C > Program Files (x86) > Maxis > Sims. Rename the Sims.exe to sims.old. Make sure you keep this file in case the new one doesn't work.
3.) Download the file and move the new Sims.exe to the same folder (:C > Program Files (x86) > Maxis > Sims).
4.) Launch, run the game in compatibility mode if necessary.

UPDATED:

Next issue (solved): Windows 10 is making playing this game a complete nightmare. Errors when saving the household, video bugs, etc. To solve the problem, simply right click on the Sims.exe file and click properties. In the properties window, select compatibility. I chose Windows 7 and to always run it as an administrator. DONE! The game is working 100% fine. So happy!
