Game Description

The Sims (also known as The Sims 1 or The Sims Classic) is a life-simulation video game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts on February 4, 2000 for Windows, and July 25, 2000 for Mac OS X. The game only has a single-player mode. There is no goal defined in The Sims,and players must develop their characters as they go through different life stages.

Characters can also be assigned certain tasks to develop life skills, which enables them to progress in their careers and increase their salaries.

    When I open setup.exe, there is no install button, there is only a play button. Why does it think it’s already installed when it’s not?!
