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.). Windows 10 has no support for Safedisc, the DRM that The Sims 1 uses. This is why the launcher doesn't load when you put the disk in or try to run start.exe. And even if you run the game installer manually through the steps I provided above, the game still won't load after it's installed as Windows 10 blocks the Safedisc service from running. Oct 18, 2015 Thank you for being a part of Windows 10 family. As you are using the disc to install the game on your computer, this wont help you install the game in compatibility mode. The only option here is to get a new set of discs that is compatible with Windows 10. Or else you may get the setup file and then install it in compatibility mode. I finally decided to bust out and install my original Sims Collection on Windows 10, and boy was I in for a brutal night. 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. After about 3 hours of trying random.

I finally decided to bust out and install my original Sims Collection on Windows 10, and boy was I in for a brutal night. 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.
After 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. In this post I will detail the steps I took to get my game working nicely, so hopefully it works for you too!

❗ If you run into any issues with this section of the tutorial, and your game does not load up in full screen, check out the suggestions and helpful tips in this thread.
“You can also run the game using the Run prompt (Windows Key + R). The first runs it in 1024×768, second is windowed at 800×600, and third is windowed at 1024×768
Sims.exe -r1024x768
Sims.exe -w Sims.exe -w -r1024x768″
You can also paste the 3 alphanumeric prompts in the “Target” box too.
❗ If for some reason you have an issue with full screen not working, see the following suggestion by SimsVIP reader Isabelle.
I had huge troubles getting the game to go into full screen mode. It turned out that since my computer has both a NVIDIA and an Intel graphics card the Intel card tells the game to keep the ratio (1024×768). I used -r1024x768 in the “Target” area.
I right clicked on the desktop and clicked on the Intel graphic settings, I then clicked on “Monitor” and changed the “Scaling” from “Keep ratio” to “Scale to full screen”. Now it works! My computer is in Swedish so everything may not be called as I’ve called it above. I hope this will help!
That’s it! At this point, use the shortcut on your desktop to start up the game. If a prompt comes up asking if you want to allow an “unknown” publisher to make changes to your account, select Yes and jump into the game!

Keep in mind that when you load up the game or visit new/different neighborhhods, the neighborhood screen will look small and seem a tad out of place. Once you select a home, move in a family, or zoom in, the game will go into full screen mode.
You may also have some excess grey or black borders on the outer edges of the screen, but again, that will go away once you zoom in.
This is everything I did in order to get the game to work on Windows 10. Like I said earlier, this may or may not necessarily work for you, but since it took me 3 hours to even get this game to work, I wanted to share in the event it helps you too!
