The Sims 1
This is coming from someone who plays The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and The Sims 4 and loves all of them for different reasons, since each is special in their own way. It'd mean so much to many simmers if The Sims 1 was released on Origin. Please consider. Hi Sims 11111 infinite and others with same issue. 1) Download the 'Rip' version of the game for Windows. 2) copy 'sims' folder to a free directory on your drive. I put it into the Downloads folder to test-run it. Tomorrow I'll create a permanent folder for it. 3) Double-click the Sims executable. Should run like a charm. Windows 10 Too fast. And if you need help getting The Sims 1 to install on Windows 10 in the first place, see my video tutorial here. How to Play Sims 1 in Widescreen. Download The Sims 1 Complete Collection Widescreen Patcher by FaithBeam. Click on the blue letters for the most recent release. Then click on the zip file that appears at the bottom to download.
Sims 1 Downloads Free
So I finally got a new desktop in 2019 and it runs on Windows 10. When I first installed Sims 1, it will not run after installation, as dreaded!! However, once i replaced the EXE file with the No CD crack and changed to 'compatibility for XP' and 'run as administrator', it ran smoothly!
Q: I don't have The Sims/Sims 1 CDs. Is this where I can download the game for free?
A: I'm afraid not, hon. This Sims 1 No CD crack is for people WITH the original The Sims CDs. You would still need to first install the game using the CDs. This no CD crack then allows you to run and play Sims 1 without further requiring the CDs.
Q: Why do you want to play Sims 1 without the CDs if you actually have the CDs?
A: To avoid wear and tear of the CDs. As you know, Electronic Arts (EA) no longer produce or support The Sims/Sims 1, so there are very few brand new CDs of the game left even if people want to buy them. For this reason, it is extremely useful to have a way to preserve the CDs and avoid using them over and over again every time you run/play the game.
Q: Where can I buy The Sims/Sims 1 CDs?
A: As of Feb 2017, there is no official EA avenue to buy new The Sims/Sims 1 game CDs. I think some new copies are still available at Amazon, and you can get used copies on Amazon and eBay. But without a replenishing source, brand new copies are getting fewer and fewer. Go vote for making Sims 1 officially available for download at GOG.com here: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/the_sims_complete_collection. We can't revive a game without having the game readily available!

Sims 1 by Expression (hacked objects, custom animations, and more)“Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.” – C.S. Lewis |
Here are all the objects I made for Sims 1 (The Sims), the original Sims game. Click on the pictures below to access each category.
I love hacks, so many of my objects are heavily hacked. Be sure to read the object description to see their function and EP requirements! I also love making custom animations, custom food, and custom sounds. Follow any special instructions in the description for the object to work properly.
Like my objects? Have a question or suggestion? Drop me a note on the Contact page! You can also read the general readme for more information.
