The Sims 1 was launched on January 31, 2000. It is a crappy game by modern standards, but it is innovative, being the first game of The Sims series, and if it didn’t existed, probably the better games The Sims 2 and 3 may have never appeared. The Sims 1 have only 2 life stages: child and adult.
The Sims may have ended long ago, but that doesn’t mean it’s dead! Millions of players the world over are still playing the game that started it all. If you’re one of them, below are downloads, programs, helpful tutorials and links to other sites to help you make the most out of Sims 1.
- Getting The Sims to work on Windows 10. Games and graphics from pre-2000 (yes, some of us were born long before then), just don’t always mesh (pun fully intended) with modern machines. Anyone who has tried to get The Sims 1 to work on Windows 10 will tell you just how much of a challenge it can be.
