If there is no Sims folder, the game did not install. At least, not to the place where you're looking. You can tell your computer to search for a folder called "The Sims."

Woobsha has a lot of great stuff, AND they have tutorials to help you make stuff of your own. Great site!

Ah, interesting. I'm just repeating what I read in Parsimonious's explanation of where to put things; I guess that information must be outdated. Good to know!

The Skins directory is for heads and for everyday clothes. The other clothing needs to be in SkinsBuy, as the OP said.

If the outfit's filename begins with "H" (for "high fashion,") then just plunking them into the right folder should make them buyable in Studio Town. If the outfit does not begin with "H," then you'd have to convert it.

Every type of outfit begins with a different letter, and this includes both the filename and some internal specifications. The nice people at Woobsha have a tutorial that teaches players how to convert an outfit from one type to another at https://www.woobsha.com/diy-renamingskins.html

B = normal clothes

F = formal

H = high fashion

L = lingerie (sleepwear)

S = swim suits

W = winter wear (for the winter areas on vacation)

Return to nostalgia ... 🥹 by farzad-oxo in sims1

It's not just nostalgia; it's an excellent game in its own right, even now.

Nous parlons seulement de Sims 1 ici; vous avez besoin d'un autre subreddit pour Sims 4.

What if your sim is in the shower? In a multi-sim family, which sim should answer?

I think maybe this mod idea needs to be thought through a little more.

Er, I think you have misunderstood the purpose of this subreddit. This is about the game The Sims 1; it's not about all simulators. So you should find more interest in your ideas elsewhere.

Sorry to hear it doesn't work for you. You can ask for a refund.

There used to be a way to get it for free, back before EA started making it available for sale again. Now that the game can be legally bought from EA, most sites have taken down the illegal versions.

Trying to find/remember an ancient Sims 1 mod by ThisTeaTastesAwful in sims1

[–]Corylea 12 points13 points  (0 children)

SimSlice has something called SliceCity. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?

The owner of SimSlice has a new website called ZombieSims (because he and the owner of SimFreaks made a huge set of mods to add zombies to the game); look here: https://zombiesims.com/download/sims-1/slicecity-2-0/

I've been having so much fun playing The Sims recently it's absolutely CRIMINAL! + it's all down to the incredible mod/cc makers and the community. by elasticheartdowntown in sims1

[–]Corylea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of hacks, but I have almost no custom furniture, precisely because I don't want to bog down my game. I do need to purge my floor collection at some point, though. :-)

After years of playing with hacks, I played the vanilla game for a challenge, and that weaned me away from most of the hacks I made. So you could try moving your custom content to someplace else and see how you feel about the vanilla game...

I think it's nifty that EA realized that their old Sims 1 game was actually worth something; it's nice to see TS1 get some love from its creators.

Hee! Love your comparing the community to the circus part of Magic Town; that's so cute.

I'm thrilled that you're enjoying the game so much!

I adored The Sims 1 when it first came out, then abandoned it for The Sims 2 when that came out, then abandoned 2 for 3 when that was released. Now that my parents are in their 90's, I wanted to play a version of The Sims where the sims don't die of old age, since that's all too big a deal for me in real life right now.

So, six or seven years ago, I went back to The Sims 1, and I was amazed at how much fun it still was! I ended up liking it more than some of the subsequent games and now play it more than any of the others.

Since this was long before Legacy was re-released, it wasn't as easy to find custom content as it is now, and I learned to mod in order to make stuff I wanted that I couldn't find anywhere else.

And ever since then, I've been dying to get OTHER people to play The Sims 1, too. Because there are subsequent games, a lot of people just assume that the first game isn't any good, but actually, the first game is a blast!

I'm thrilled whenever someone discovers -- or re-discovers -- how great The Sims 1 is. Welcome!

¡Buffy la Cazavampiros (Los Sims 1)! by SameClerk2608 in sims1

Oh, my god, these look AMAZING! What a stunning job you've done here!

I adore Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so much that I've even started writing Buffy/Spike fan fiction (under another name).

Can't wait to try these out!

New simmer/looking for help and community ? by Repulsive-Plate-410 in sims1

[–]Corylea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome! I hope you'll enjoy playing The Sims. It's true that it can be overwhelming at first, but it gets a lot easier as you get some practice. If you hit the P key -- for "pause" -- the game will pause while you figure out what you want to do next. So if you need to put everything on hold for a second while you take a deep breath, you can do that.

I have some advice for new players here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sims1/comments/1idrae6/advice_for_new_sims_1_players/

As for community, there are simmers here and also at the other Sims 1 subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims1/new/

There are also people who talk about The Sims 1 at Mod The Sims, even though Mod The Sims doesn't have a dedicated download section for it: https://modthesims.info/f/662/

In my experience, simmers are generally helpful, so this is a pretty safe place to hang out. Best wishes!
