The SIMS - not working! (9 posts)

Brian Sauer Posted 4 years, 11 months ago Joined: 12 years, 5 months ago

I have purchased a copy of The Sims (yes...the old one) and was unable to play it on my P4-3.4GHz, 1.0MB RAM, Nvidia GeForce5300. The installation went fine but the game froze after 1 - 2 minutes of play. So I installed it instead on a P3 - 1.6GHz machine and all was well. However, after about a week or so the program fails to start at all, double-clicking the icon produced an immediate error (i.e. ...had to close....do you want to send to Microsoft etc). Googling errors suggested too many background processes etc - tried all these remedies to no avail. Doing a system restore to a known "good" time and the program works fine - for about another week or so, then it all falls over again. HELP!

sims 1 not working

I can't believe there are no replies to this. Doesn't anyone still play sims 1? I can't get it to work either. I have all expansion packs.

I love The Sims, I have both 2 & 3 and medieval, but nothing can ever beat The Sims.

Haven't been able to play it for about a year or more now. Keep trying but it always fails.

My makin' magic disk is quite scratched probably the reason why it doesn't work, but I'm afraid if I do go and find then buy a new disk the game still won't work. (It is an old game now and software requirements and such change)

I recently purchased The sims for my new laptop which has windows 7, it worked to start with but after trying to install an expansion pack (triple duluxe) it made me uninstal The Sims! I tried to reinstall the Sims but now keeps shutting down and telling me "The Sims is not working, Windows will notify you when they have a solution" AHHHGG it's SO frustrating! If I get it sorted I'll try and post the solution on here.
