❗ NOTE: The instructions in this tutorial worked on my two PC’s, but may not work for you. I’ve messed around in game for a few hours and everything seems to be working great on my end. ❗ WARNING : I have not played long enough to know if there are any issues or other types of problems post-fix.

In this post I will detail the steps I took to get my game working nicely, so hopefully it works for you too! Due to a complex technical issue I know nothing about, it has become nearly impossible to play older games like The Sims on Windows 10.Īfter about 3 hours of trying random “fixes” found online, it was bits and pieces from here and there that ended up making the game work for me. I finally decided to bust out and install my original Sims Collection on Windows 10, and boy was I in for a brutal night. Which one to use would depend on the vertical resolution of the monitors. On a modern monitor, you should use -w to run in Windowed Mode, and should probably use either -r800圆00 or -r1024x768 to force resolution. IOW, if you try to run it at fullscreen on a modern monitor, it'll be all stretched. It only supports the 4:3 aspect ration of CRTs, and only at 800圆x768 - which was a high resolution at the time. As for the video, even Makin' Magic was released before widescreen, high-res monitors became commonplace, much less standard.

I had the same thing happen with a brand new computer in 2014.

Not that it matters at this point probably, but the setting you are looking for would be screen scaling in your graphics card settings, turn it on to stretch screen to proper size. I'd suggest to try using Windows XP for your computer. I remember my computer back in the day (6-7 years ago) had heaps of problems running TS1, and we never worked it out.

As for your second problem, Windows 7 has numerous problems with The Sims 1. Keep in mind TS1 was released ages ago, and isn't really going to run well on new, fancy computers. I haven't heard of this problem, but I'd say you a) have a problem with your monitor, or b) need an older graphics card. and please, PLEASE help me and my real family deal with our Sim families.ĩ9.46.236.14 06:50, J(UTC)John Haha, I know what you mean. Lastly, please do not say anything like 'go buy sims 2/3' or 'why are you playing 1 when 2 and 3 are better' I have my reasons, please respect them. anyway, I tried activating the 'run as administrator' but it just stops working all together when I do that. or at least a larger screen would have my undying gratitude.Īs for problem 2, my daughter's PC is a Windows 7 (I know, horrible) but it won't let her evict, save, or demolish. Sims are very hard to deal with on such tiny screens, anyone that could help me make the game run at fullscreen. I would REALLY appreciate some help with this.
#Sims 2 resolution stuck on 800x600 Patch#
I know it's possible to patch this to run normally, as I've seem people do such things with games off Steam (like X-COM) in fact changing my resolution makes the game smaller and the black borders bigger. neither does running it in any compatibility mode nor changing my resolution. a google search only came up with one similar event, but the ' -f' suggestion didn't work. That's not something I've seen before, I need a way to fix it. the problem is that on my and my sons computer, they run in a tiny box in the middle of the screen surrounded by black borders. I have all of them from the first to Makin Magic. I recently re-installed my Sims games on my and my kids computers. Forums: Index → Game discussions → Please help me with Sims 1 (vista and W7) Post
