Are you the admin on your computer? If you have multiple user profiles set up on your computer that you choose from when you turn on your computer and log on, you might be using a profile that isn’t set as the admin. That can be changed in the admins computer settings
mine started to begin then vanished. i clicked on the shortcut again and now it says my graphic card doesnt support “Thousands of Colors’ HELP
To be honest, The Sims 1 under Windows 10 is a super finicky mess. Check out my comment…
If you’re going to ask for help for some major glitch in the game, I highly recommend reading this.
If this whole comment section is any indication, the game has aged very poorly in the technical side of things–and as a result, it’s super unstable in later versions of Windows, particularly Windows 10. I highly recommend setting up a Windows XP VM in something like VirtualBox and installing the game there–it’ll take extra work, but will spare you several headaches in the long run.
Have you figured out how to get it to run without having a disk in VirtualBox?
I know on pcem you have to use the cd-rom click on empty and then load the image which is the iso and then it should load up. I’m not sure any other one though
I’m going to try my virutal box that sounds better
I’m a bit confused, where do I find the setup.exe file? Please help to advise 😭
C:Program Files (x86)MaxisThe Sims)
Whenever I try to open the application and click on play, it says ” Please insert the correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application”. please help me, I’m stuck on that error message. I haven’t been able to start the game.
Replace the Sims.exe file in the installation directory with the one in the archive’s “Sims Crack” folder.
I tried to play sims 1 and i choosed adminstarator but i opened it and there was nothing! NO ERROR MESSAGE
Anyone had issues with a file called “L?mig.txt” ? It is giving me an error that says “The file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.” This file is located in …The Sims CreatorReadme. After this error the installer removes pretty much every file and I can’t play the game.
this wont even install for me, i click on install and it does nothing,can anyone help with this issue.
Never mind, i know what it was, a audio driver thing, i have had issues with even new games with that.
Been playing a family for days and suddenly I can’t save the game and going to downtown/old town/studio, the game always crash and back to desktop. And this only happened to one family, please help me. 🙁
HI, can this play on Mac?
i’ve installed the game and i’m at part 5 (open the the file called “The Sims Crack” and drag & drop the “Sims.exe” to the directory where you installed the game (by default this is: C:Program Files (x86)MaxisThe Sims). When the popup appears telling you the file already exists, you want to select “REPLACE”) When i drag and drop it says create shortcut rather than replave. Im at a total loss. This is inside the sims folder.
Hello! I did every steps and it is working like a charm! 😉
It did to me same thing too. You just have to copy the file “Sims.exe” (in The Sims Crack) by clicking the right mouse button and “Copy” and go in your directory files (by default: C:Program Files (x86)MaxisThe Sims) and “Paste”, you will be asked if you want to replace. You click YES to replace.
whenever i click the start.exe it says autoplay will only run from the sims installation cd. please help me :(((((
