Hello! I'm Seera. I'm 25 years old. I graduated from NCSU in 2010 with a degree in Biochemistry and a minor in Biomanufacturing. I've Simmed since the days of Sims 1 and I'm sad that Windows 7 can't install it. I got a new Simming desktop about a year and a half ago after my old computer died of hard drive failure. Luckily, I had had suspicions that the computer was going to die soon (though not of hard drive failure) so I didn't lose the Tortalls. Though, the Tortalls are on hiatus until I can catch up the story. Which is going at a snail's pace. While I have Sims 2 installed, I've been mostly on a Sims 3 kick for the past year and a half. And it's all because my new desktop can actually run the game nicely. I am still however, into writing stories to go alongside challenges, and I'll be posting my few up shortly, including the currently converted Tortall chapters

Hi Seera, Great to see you again! It's a bummer that Windows 7 wont run The Sims 1 (i dident know that).
Have you Tried a Virtual Machine? I could help you get a Windows XP one running on your machine if you have the XP install disk!

Hi Seera, Great to see you again! It's a bummer that Windows 7 wont run The Sims 1 (i dident know that). Have you Tried a Virtual Machine? I could help you get a Windows XP one running on your machine if you have the XP install disk! Unfortunately, I do not have an install disc. The problem stems from the installer being a 16-bit program. Windows XP was able to run 16-bit programs. Windows 7, can't. And I know it's a 16-bit issue because my old desktop had some software issues, the 16-bit portion being one of those issues (I couldn't install it for that reason). I do technically have a computer that can run it, but it's in no condition to play games. There has been a couple of times where the fan on that computer refused to start...

Have you Tried Windows XP Mode, not tobe confused with XP compatibility mode? You have to Download the Mode here windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7#section_3Unlike Windows XP Compatibility Mode, Windows XP Mode Acctually Runs Windows XP inside Windows 7 as a Virtual Machine. EDIT: I just read that its for Pro and Up versions of Windows 7 :C
