Tried installing for an hour setup.exe and start.exe do not work at all
tried scouring the comments for help they were useless too
admins not responding with help for problems and as for that commenter who said follow instructions thoroughly and it will work f you.
when i tried “setup.exe”
it said setup is having trouble, shutting down the autoplay program try again later
rarely it would give me an error saying it couldnt install ISUSER.DLL (access denied even with admin privs)
now can someone please help
Hello Dingle! I had the same problem and by using PowerISO, I clicked the option “Extract all files to temporary folder” and that launched the setup workflow. Remember the serial number can be found in the instructions posted below the download button. Hopefully this works for you as well!
I’m stuck in step 2 – after extracting the files nothing happens, and I don’t get a prompt for entering the serial code. help!
this was a complete waste of time and it doesnt even let you delete the files afterwards.
keeps saying im not an administrator
Hi, is there a way of downliading this for Mac?
Please 🙂 I’ve been longing to play Sims 1 since such a long time!
It´s installed, i can open te startscreen but when I want to play I keep getting “please login with administrator privileges and try again”. I don’t know what i have to do.
I have the same problem did you solve it
I don’t suppose anyone knows how to get the cheat codes to work? Keeps coming up with cheat code doesn’t exist with everything
I don’t really understand what happened but for some reason, the game would not run at all. Was it because I changed the directory from Local Disk C: to Local Disk: D? In any case, I want to uninstall the game completely. I’ve deleted every file related to it but when I try to uninstall it from the apps on Windows, it just won’t budge. I tried to follow the instructions on that Regedit but on the maxis folder, there’s just the sims 4 and nothing else. Please help.
When dragging the “Sims.exe” to Directory, where am i able to find the directory to drop the file?
when i click on the start.exe it doesnt open, what can i do?
this happened to me too, i cant open it at all- i think its because it runs in 32 bit instead of 64..
I have the same problem 🙁
Could anyone help?
same here, cant open it
I have the same issue as well
hello! whats the serial code?
the game installed just fine, but whenever i open the game, it doesnt play the intro, just goes straight through neighborhood view, and the expansion pop-ups just plays in a constant loop. fixed it, i thought, but now the neighborhood view doesnt show any of the houses, snd when i try to create a family, it crashes the game. any help?
Mine did the same:(
If you encounter the error message “Unknown error encountered – aborting setup,” follow these steps to resolve the problem:
1. On your desktop, search for “Regedit” and open it. Navigate to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” > “SOFTWARE” and search for any Sims-related folders, including any from EA (Maxis, EA Games, Sims). Delete any Sims 1 related folders you find.
2. Go to your “Local Disk” > “Program Files (x86).” While inside, click on “View” in the upper tab, then select “Show” > “Hidden Elements.” Enter the “InstallShield Installation Information” folder and search for any Sims 1 related folders For me it was {F2527115-B8BF….} Delete it. (The correct folder contains files like “data1.cab” and “setup.exe,” similar to those found inside “The Sims 1 Complete Collection” setup folder.)
3. Navigate to “The Sims 1 Complete Collection” folder and find the “Eraser” application. Launch it.
Following these steps should allow you to install the game without encountering any errors.
God bless you
Please help me. I installed Sims accoding to the instruction here on the side and then when it gave me error, I followed your instruction and installed it again. The game does start, but it loads (but not right – black green screen) for me a while and then shuts down. Can you tell me where I made a mistake? I have Windows 10.
Thank you so much! 🙂
When I start the install the setup.exe runs into a problem every time and drops the application. Any idea’s what I’m doing wrong?
Hello! Does anyone know how to fix the alt/tab issue (when you return back to the game, the screen is black)? Game is still there, not crashed,but a black screen. Any help would be appreciated.
