the sims 1 complete collection widescreen patch

Right click the shortcut on your desktop and click the “Compatibility” tab.

Right click the Sims.exe file you just added to The Sims folder and add a shortcut to your Desktop.

If for some reason you are not able to move it in there, download the file again, move it in, and rename it to Sims.exe.

Move the Sims.exe file you just download from the above link into C: > Program Files (x86) > Maxis > The Sims.

Download this file from YouTuber SariaFan93 if not for them, I would have never found the correct link to this patch.

Rename the file Sims.old (I left it as is in this folder going forward) Right click the icon and select “Rename”. Once you open the final folder, scroll all the way down to the bottom and find the Sims.exe file.

Go to C: > Program Files (x86) > Maxis > The Sims.

Install all discs included with the game version you own.

If you have been hit with the dreaded “Please login with administrator privileges and try again” error message, this tutorial will help you bypass it in order to play.

However, other players have reported success with individual discs, The Sims Deluxe, Double Deluxe, and Mega Deluxe. ❗ NOTE: I installed The Sims Complete Collection, so this tutorial may only work for this game and no other. There is no guarantee that you’ll be able to play the game. ❗ NOTE: The instructions in this tutorial worked on my two PC’s, but may not work for you. I’ve messed around in game for a few hours and everything seems to be working great on my end. ❗ WARNING : I have not played long enough to know if there are any issues or other types of problems post-fix. Download and install patches and fixes at your own risk. Happy simming!ĮDIT: New version with a new fix! Now loading screens when taking families to a new neighborhood are fixed! Get it here.❗ WARNING : S imsVIP does not assume liability should any 3rd party downloads cause harm to your PC or game. Remember that this only works on 1920x1080p so far. It's important to put your game into 600x800, as that's what this overrides. Make sure to edit your exe in the post above. What you have to do is go into your Sims 1 install folder and merge the UIGraphics folder with this one.

If you want to try it out or help me make it even better, download it Here! Notice no bad neighborhood backgrounds or ui! There still are a few problems, such as you cannot zoom too far out without a weird bug, but with the widescreen you don't really want to anyway. I wasn't happy with it, so I looked into how I could fix it, and Voilà! I have edited the UI to fix the weird bugs. This works, but has many issues, such as the sim UI doesn't refresh properly or the neighborhood screen looks jank.
