There's a huge benefit of having games connected to Origin: if I were to ever lose a pack or two or if my laptop crashed, I could just easily log back into my Origin to re-download my game library. This is coming from someone who plays The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and The Sims 4 and loves all of them for different reasons, since each is special in their own way. It'd mean so much to many simmers if The Sims 1 was released on Origin. I see a big thread on the GOG wishlist forum so you're far from alone in this request: One thing worth noting is that many of these older games were made available on GOG.com first, and then made available on Origin. On the "too old", that can be a bit misleading. The issue generally isn't that a game would be too old, but that there could be compatibility issues with newer systems. The old games that are available have changes made to ensure they'll work on modern systems.
#Download the sims 1 update#ĭue to the existence of DOSBox and the comparatively simple nature of some older games, sometimes it's easier/less time-consuming to update certain games over others. Perhaps reviving The Sims 1 would be a significant technical challenge. I'm just speculating though, I have no specific info on the technical challenges of bringing The Sims 1 to modern systems. And that has included going back to where it all started! Thanks for the post, and I hope that some day your request can be met.With The Sims recently celebrating its 21st anniversary, I have been in a nostalgic mood and re-discovering older Sims titles. The Sims was released in 2000 and was compatible with Windows 95, 98 and ME machines. Even Windows XP wasn’t around when it launched. With hardware and software moving so far ahead since, it’s natural that the game now has some compatibility issues.
