Remastering The Sims 1

[fons_garmo]

Maybe not remastering, but how about adapting The Sims 1 to the "new era"? 

Honestly, I'd pay for The Sims 1 if it were on Origin. In my honest opinion it's just a great game and also a game changer, it showed players a completely new way of playing games, with creativity and some crazy/random stuff! It was our very own world, and we were basically gods controlling out little Sims, making them happy or miserable.

What I really love about The Sims 1 is the "suburb style", I think that while The Sims 2 kept that style, The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 developed another style which is nice, but it feels... lifeless. The Sims 1 and 2 had that suburbs vibe, and even a kitsch vibe which is kind of weird but so funny. The Sims 1 and 2 were truly awesome life simulators.

To be honest i don't even want the graphics re-done i don't want the game changed the game was perfect to begin with...just make it work on newer operating systems.

I have sims 3 and 4, where can I buy the very first game as it looks like EA does not sell it any more?

@athewhofan2  You can find some copies on Amazon, but they are bloody expensive. If you dig deeper, you might find some decently priced copies.

thank you for the info some one did give me a desk with it on but since I moved house unable to find it.

@athewhofan2  moving...somehow, you always end up losing some stuff...Hope that you will be able to buy those at a decent price. Look for Sims: Complete Collection, as that includes everything released for Sims 1.

Sims 1 REMASTER 

I am a massive fan of Sims 1.. I cannot seem to get on with any other sims games.

Sims 1 always had add ons e.g Hot Date, Makin Magic, Holiday, Pets.

Although the graphics are not what they are today that just doesn't seem to bother me.

In sims 1 you never seem to age which mean you can work on building your life and lifestyle forever.

I would just love to see a Sims 1 remaster and them hopefully the add on games would follow after.

I just LOVE sims 1 and I know many others that would love to see this either remastered to be compatable with devices of this day.

@katieholling  From what i gather, Sims 3 and 4 allow disabling aging from the options. Sims 2 required a code to to do that. 

But i agree that Sims 1 has a certain charm that can't be found in the later games of the series. Maybe its sandbox nature, maybe the incredible build editor or its modding community...i don't know. 

Sims 2 added a lot of gameplay mechanics, while Sims 3 built on them, but Sims 3 also lost some nice mechanics in the process, too. Things like house building became overlysimplified, the shopping distericts could not be customized anymore and so on. 

And as much as i'd like to get into Sims 4, its relationship focus just isn't for me. The one thing that i really did not want was me taking care of each relation out there. 

My ideal Sims would be a mix between Sims 1-3. The house building from Sims 1, the gameplay mechanics from SIms 2 with the questing from Sims Stories/Sims 3.

Sims 3 was a really good game. Definitely no comparison to the greatness of the original but the controls were fluid, the gameplay was good. A bit glitchy and laggy but hey it usually worked...sims 4 was absolute garbage. A massive billboard saying that new and innovative is not necessarily good. Please remaster the original sims...please.
