Oct 18, 2015 Game Info - The Sims Collection is the 4 cd set of the original The Sims game along with all expansion packs/bonus content. Does anybody know where to get Sims complete collection update patch? Simprograms doesn't host updates for sims 1 anymore Thanks.

Am I the only one having issues getting the original Sims working on Windows 10? The game installs fine, but whenever I try to start it up I get an error message that says 'Access Denied: Please login with administrator permissions and try again'. The obvious solution of right clicking the game's icon and selecting 'Run as administrator' gets rid of the error message, but then the game just doesn't start up at all. I've also tried running it in compatibility mode multiple times and that didn't help. I'm also having this issue with another old game made around the same time, so I'm wondering if it's related.

Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this? Am I the only one having issues getting the original Sims working on Windows 10? The game installs fine, but whenever I try to start it up I get an error message that says 'Access Denied: Please login with administrator permissions and try again'.

Same here.hopefully Microsoft will have a fix for this soon. Installing the mod that bypasses the disc and running the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2 fixed the problem for me.

A modified Sims.exe to do this can be found here: I have uploaded it to Google Drive, as the website I found it on was a bit sketchy. I scanned it with my anitvirus and it came up normal. Google Drive also scans anything you upload with it's antivirus, but regardless use at your own risk. Please note that this is not a link to a pirated version of the game, just a fixed Sims.exe that will allow the game to launch on Windows 10. I own the game and installed it on my computer via the installation disks. Obviously you will have to own the game too for this to work. Instructions on getting it working: 1.) Make sure you already have the game installed on your computer.

2.) Go to:C Program Files (x86) Maxis Sims. Rename the Sims.exe to sims.old. Make sure you keep this file in case the new one doesn't work. 3.) Download the file and move the new Sims.exe to the same folder (:C Program Files (x86) Maxis Sims).

4.) Launch, run the game in compatibility mode if necessary. 5.) If it works, enjoy. If not, remove the new Sims.exe and change the old one to it's original name. Hopefully this helps anyone who's spent hours searching the internet trying to find a solution to this issue. Just an update to using this link. I have two sims 1 games meaning all cds installed meaning I have two same game but two different play set ups.

I got one to work but it was really an earlier install and play of the game. I have tons of mods but I am not sure now how to install them into this older game play. In my second game install I tried this fix but it did not work. That is where I have my newer install. I have all the mods installed there and that was the game I was really playing. I do not know how I actually did that a while back but I never could get the older game to play.

Now I am playing the older game and it works fine. I would like to do this fix to the other game. I hope I have made sense here. I am going to give this ago again today. I just downloaded the fix again. Thank you so much PlumbBobTheif. Without this fix I would not be playing any sims games.

I currently have windows 10, but I don't have a shortcut tab in my properties menu. Does anyone know of a workaround? /quote I had this problem too. It's because we tried to open the properties of the actual application. Create a shortcut first on your desktop and you'll get that shortcut tab when you try from there! Because of these compatibility issues, I wish they would put the Sims Complete Collection on Origin, and update it so it will run on Windows 8 and 10.

(I had no trouble installing Sims Complete Collection on Windows 7 when running as administrator and running in compatibility for Windows XP SP3.) By the way, the no-cd mod for Sims 1 doesn't work unless you have the game installed, and the only reliable way to install the game is to own the cd set. I also wish they would put the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection back on Origin. I just got a new Windows 10 computer, and I have Sims 2 Store Edition on Origin, but that requires Sims 2 to first be installed. Also, with Sims 2 Store edition, the fraternity in SimState University household won't load. I want to thank the individual that made this patch. Because of this, i can now play sims 1 again.

I was very depressed for quite awhile that i could no longer play sims 1, even made worse by the fact that i was forced to get windows 10 and not my choice. Luckily, this patch works wonders, and to tell others about it, i posted it on here: BTW, anyone who knows me on here, i apologize for the long absence. Many bad things and depression in real life has hit me. I don't wish to upset people, but i have now little time to play games, so i try my best to do it when i can.

Thanks for understanding.
