Hello,

I know, my PC is an old one, but..is there any possibility, that sims will work again?

Origin doesn't accept my hardware specification.

Greetings, Emma

Hi ,

Origin won't install on my PC can you help me figure out why? I sent you an attachment

Origin's client app doesn't have "high" physical requirements.  Most of the games in current circulation, however, cannot run on any computer that is as slow, and old, and poorly equipped for games, as what you have. 

I believe the fact that you haven't maintained up to date graphics drivers for the past eight years is what will block you from installing the Origin client.   Correct that omission, then you can install the client.

Get your new graphics drivers from Intel.

Sorry that no one here found the time to answer you the past three months!  After answering a second person with a new comment just added here, I saw the post you had made.  Since you haven't said which Sims game you wanted to play again, and I never play those games, I cannot provide immediate help in that regard. 

Your computer isn't nearly as slow and out of date as is true for the second member, however, I doubty that the Origin client will install as long as your graphics driver is five years out of date.
