   Hi when I start the game it does not react when I click. It just freezes once all the expansions load.

         if you have any parts installed then uninstall them and delete all remnant files, then redownload the file and try to run the setup again as an administrator

   Downloaded it, but had no question to register. After installation I tried to open Crack, but I can’t move it to the direction where I installed the game.

     can you move the folder (Game Files folder) to your disc drive C:// and right click the file start.exe and then run it as an administrator (right click > Run as administrator)

     When you click on Ok and run the game is it working? You might have had files from a previous installation of The Sims 1 on your computer

     How long is it loading for? the 1st time you launch The Sims 1 it usually takes a really long time to load (could be slower if you have a slower PC)

       I have the same problem. How long does it take? I has been waiting for more than 30min. It’s like an infinite loop, just keep loading expansion after expansion and repeat

         30 mins is quite long tbh.. try restarting your computer and then running the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP

         I reinstalled the game in another PC and it works like charms. But suddenly the game now starts in neighborhood number 2 idk why because I didn’t change it. The infinite loop is back, I need to change it to NH number 1. How could I do that?

   the start app doesn’t work for me 🙁 even if i go to compatibility and press windows xp it shows op on task manager but not in my screen

     Things to try is to change the compatibility to different versions (e.g Windows XP Service Pack 2, then try 3, Windows Vista, Windows 7) and hope one of them works. Also check the box next to “Run as administrator”. Sometimes these games are really stubborn :/

       Nothing works u_u

         Another thing to try: Press the windows button on your keyboard and press “R” at the same time. Then type this in (copy paste it without quotation marks) “Sims.exe -r1024x768”. And then press Enter

         If that doesn’t work then your laptop/PC is being really annoying, you can get the game to run on a virtual machine but that’s really complicated to set up

    I tried to install it, but it said ‘An installation support file could not be installed. Catastrophic failure’. What should i do?

      Can you try running the setup as an administrator? If that doesn’t work then I would redownload and try to install again

        I tried to run is as a adminstrator and did reinstall it, but is still says the same

          weird :/ I have not seen that error before to be honest I’m not sure what can fix it, only thing i can recommend is to try installing the game on a different computer

    i started download it but it stops because i dont have a mega account???????

    Reply

      I know that’s why I hate using MEGA to upload the files. I think if you wait a few hours your download should continue. Sorry about this we’re working on finding better servers to upload the files

    I can not locate he Program 86 folder or the Maxis folder?

    Reply
    • ▲0▼

      It might be in your “Program Files” folder instead of Program Files (x86). When you installed the game, in the setup, you can specify your installation directory so it depends on the directory you selected

      Reply
      • ▲0▼

        I checked there too. I even searched for Maxis and all that shows is a Read Me file. Should I just reinstall?

          That’s really weird, it sounds like an incomplete or corrupt installation. I would try reinstalling it

          That worked perfectly. Thank you!

        Hey ! I have the same ! The game says it has an error occured for saving the house! So, you can’t really play as it doesn’t save your play. How can we fix that bug ?

          hi, can you try running the game as an administrator (Right click => Run as administrator) that usually solves it of The Sims 1

    Hey! Everything goes smoothly, but when I start the game, the screen blows up the game huge and I can only see a 4th of the game (kind of like the top right corner of what would be the whole screen showing the game)… any help?

      Hi, can you try the fix detailed on this link https://simsvip.com/2018/02/09/play-sims-1-windows-10-widescreen-fix/ and hopefully it should work after this.

      If it doesn’t, then try changing the resolution of your actual desktop to a smaller resolution and then launch the game
