Object download for the original sims pc

This is one sick life we lead. At first, The Sims struck me as an interesting academic exercise, but not much entertainment. My Sim-family was not happy, the house was perpetually in need of cleaning, and nobody got along with each other. No matter how much I tried, I never felt in touch with my family. I can have all of that without turning on a computer. Even when Child Protective Services took away that brat of a child thank goodness , I never really found myself wrapped up in the game and without my real-world bratty kid around, I have more time to play on the computer - just kidding.

In a moment of enlightenment, I decided to create a Sim family reflective of my real life. I made a Sim wife similar to my real-world wife. I created a Sim mother-in-law that I didn't get along with, a Sim-brother with a Sim-babe of a wife, and a Sim-sister-in-law with a friendly Sim-boyfriend. I immediately took over the role of my sister-in-law and pissed off her Sim-Mom take that! This was fairly easy, as I made Sim-Mother-in-law exactly like the real-world-mother-in-law.

I then took over my Sim-Brother's house and invited myself Sim-Ty over for dinner. Once Sim-Ty was in the house, Sim-Babe started making nice in the hot tub. Before long, Sim-Ty and Sim-Babe were sneaking away for kisses. This was working out perfectly! Naturally, Sim-Wife got a bit angry at the budding romance, but she brought this on herself.

For years I've been complaining that she doesn't The next day in real life I came home, started The Sims , and found to my horror that my real-world wife had patched things up between Sim-Ty and Sim-Wife. All my hard work for nothing. Not only that, but she had managed to get me promoted at work and had bought me a large-screen TV. She was keeping the house clean, had taken a few cooking classes, and appeared to really want this relationship to work. Perhaps this was the spark we needed to re-light the fire after ten years of marriage.

I felt guilty for trying to seduce Sim-Babe especially for betraying my brother, who remained a loyal buddy. This was all very confusing. Maybe she was sending me a message. But was she simply playing the game or did she really want to revitalize our marriage?

Was I getting the two confused? On the lighter side, my Sim-Wife caught herself on fire while cooking. Sim-Ty came to the rescue to extinguish the flames. I sent Sim-daughter over to assist, but a child cannot use a fire extinguisher.

Instead, she tickled Sim-Mom while she burned. I was laughing so hard it hurt. This was just way too weird, like something from the X-Files. I happened across one of the many The Sims fan sites and uncovered X-Files skins.

I downloaded a Sim-Scully and Sim-Mulder. I moved the X-Family into my neighborhood, used the money cheat to build a very nice house, and set about moving Agent Scully into a promising career in medicine.

Police work isn't really an option, so I ran Mulder through the scientific career track serves him right. I tried my best to fit into the neighborhood. Though Mulder and Scully are quite different, their personalities meshed well together.

Their complimentary personality traits created an easy-to-manage environment. Before long, both had moved up the career ladder and seemed quite happy.

Then something quite amazing happened: Agent Mulder arrived home from work. As I scurried to grab a screenshot, the message box disappeared and a new one took its place: "It turns out the spaceship was another hoax. Sorry [OK]" Somebody at Maxis has a real sense of humor. I am very impressed by this game for a variety of reasons. It doesn't provide the traditional gaming experience which is a good thing , and though I can't say the game is fun, it certainly is addictive.

Well, maybe not addictive, but I don't mind playing it. I am also surprised at its wide audience appeal. My real-world-wife doesn't play computer games. She doesn't enjoy computer games. But The Sims is very different. I can't keep her away and now she's neglecting housework and our kids go hungry and unbathed. She's probably spent more time with The Sims than she has with her family in the past week.

The Sims is also one of the more-polished games I've played. I downloaded new furniture from The Sims ' web site. I downloaded new skins from a fan site. With this expandable game engine, fans will quickly enhance the game in ways the designers never imagined.

I have already seen Star Wars skins, log cabin houses, and a variety of interior decoration schemes. On the negative side, as with most of Maxis ' games, a higher-goal never materializes. Once you've played through the life-cycle of a family you won't get much else from the game playing again. The game sometimes feels a bit too tedious. Instead of telling a Sim to "Clean the kitchen" you must select each individual dish to clean.

It's not any fun to point and click, yet this happens far too often. Close Privacy Overview This website uses cookies to improve your experience while you navigate through the website.

To use dgVoodoo, simply download the application, then copy the. Message to EA and possibly other people who are wondering: This upload is for purely for preservation reasons only, and I would like to say, that the state most old games are in is laughably bad, most of them being lost to time, even the famous ones such as Sims 1, which isn't being sold at all by EA, and they've seemingly stopped caring about it.

This is my message towards whoever cares, to start taking game preservation seriously, without it, one day our favorite games, will be only available and if lucky, only on online used stores such as Ebay at exorbitant prices, which will exclude most people from playing old games, and inevitably, cause the game to disappear forever once a collector, buys said game, and it rots forever on their shelf as the game becomes forgotten.

On running the game: I would not advise on using patches such as one for widescreen, or installing the game via the "start" executable, the way I did it, and worked flawlessly for me, was to install it via the setup, after install, applied the nocd patch which is included in the upload, then use dgVoodoo2 as I have described earlier in this description, apply Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode to "sims.
