Talk:The Sims

!!!URGENT!!!
I have an important question, how do you delete a body in The Sims Creator? Answer me here. -Teh Internets

Inventory?
So, I just got back into playing The Sims recently (just before The Sims 3 lol xD) and have all the expansion packs. My question is this: I accidentally had one of my sims pick up some items and now don't know how to transfer it to another sim's inventory. There is no option for "giving a gift" like there is for The Sims 2 or placing it on the ground with the hand tool and having the correct sim pick it up, so... help? Thanks!

This is an old post but, someone else might need it. Under Misc>magic. There is a magic book shelf. Have the Sim that picked it up place the item in there. Have the other Sim take it out. Hope that helped! Kindofshy 23:21, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

SimCity Page?
Instead of linking to an external site, why not have a page about SimCity here, as this is the roots of The Sims, and where a lot of Sims terms came from? While most games with "Sim" in the title (like SimCopter, SimIsle, SimFarm, etc.) wouldn't belong here since they aren't directly relate to The Sims, SimCity is where the idea of "sims" began, and is alluded to in The Sims. I'm not talking a new section, or even multiple sections, but simply one good page talking about the whole SimCity series and how it relates to and differs from The Sims. As an old SimCity fan, I'd be happy to write it.

If not, perhaps the link should be to the Wikipedia page, as it has a lot more info than the page currently linked to?

100 Sim Days of Gameplay?
I remember that, after reaching 100 Sims days of gameplay with any family, for the next 7 sim days you'd get those dialog boxes that gave awkward info about either the game or famous SIms (that were never heard of later and have no pages). I don't have The Sims 1 anymore, but if anybody does and remembers this, could they try doing this and adding pages about anything that could have a page?Signatures/Alex1496 13:18, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not famous Sims, but (as I recall) members of the development team. Dharden 18:49, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

How many houses?
How many families and houses can you have in The Sims? Potterfan1997 14:02, January 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you're not talking about Complete Collection, that depends on whether or not Unleashed is installed. Without Unleashed, there are only the ten residential lots on the Sim Lane loop. With Unleashed, there are about 30 lots in Old Town. By default, eight of them are zoned as community lots (one is vacant). Of course, that's per neighborhood, not per game.

Another question, where do the Crisp Family and the (I'm not sure how it's spelt) Eliison Family come from? Because, I was playing with the Roomies and we Threw a Party and those two families came along. I haven't created them, and they aren't in any of my neighbour hoods. Can anyone help?

You have wrote the Notes of The Sims as an administrator.

The Sims requires the program to be logged in as an administrator if you have Windows Vista and Windows 7. Which means that If Hot Date, Vacation, Unleashed, Superstar and Makin Magic is installed, with Old Games made for Windows 98/ME/XP it is possible to run the Sims.exe on Windows Vista and Windows 7 as an administrator. Except Sims Original Game, Sims Livin Large and Sims House Party that it works okay.
