Forum:Need help for TS1 Deluxe Edition
I need help for starting TS1 Deluxe Edition. When i click on the start file, it shows the Sims 2-like start screen, and the vanishes without a trace, and the game never pops up. And i dont think the screen is even right.
This is really frustrating me. Does anyone have any suggestions/solutions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by A Clockwork Raichu (talk • contribs) 11:56, October 30, 2013 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~~~~
- You should only start TS1 Deluxe Edition with disc 1 of Deluxe if you do not have Unleashed, Superstar, or Makin' Magic. If you have any of those expansions, you must use the first disc for the most recent one that is installed. (They are listed in release order.) Also, remember that Makin' Magic, the last TS1 EP, predates Vista, so you would do well to set the Compatibility for sims.exe to Windows XP, SP2 . You should be able to do this if you right-click on sims.exe and select Properties. Also, if you do not log in to Windows as Administrator, you will need to select "Run as Administrator". Finally, IIRC, TS1 seems to work better if User Account Control is Off. Dharden (talk) 13:05, October 30, 2013 (UTC)
Well, i have XP, and i only have Deluxe Edition (which of course comes with Livin' Large which may be called Livin it Up for you) and Hot Date and Vacation. So i have no idea what to do really. A Clockwork Raichu (talk) 10:37, October 31, 2013 (UTC)
Someone please close this thread. I have gotten my Sims game to work. Thank you for all your help. A Clockwork Raichu (talk) 11:44, October 31, 2013 (UTC)
